    What do I need to know in a FR game?

    Because many things are immune to being knocked unconcious.

    What do I need to know in a FR game?

    Just about all I've ever played is Greyhawk, or homebrew settings. How is Forgotten Realms different, and what do I need to know to survive? Are the vast majority of the bad guys undead, or is that another setting? Stuff like that.

    New Item, Bracers of Archer's Strength

    Well, that's why I later asked about things like upper damage caps. Because spending 5000 gp for the ability to use a mighty bow like a normal bow, which would be cheaper anyways strikes me as a bit off. You'd effectively be wasting money. Even if it allowed you to get a partial damage bonus...

    New Item, Bracers of Archer's Strength

    BUT THE POINT IS THAT IT WORKS FOR WHATEVER THE NEEDED STRENGTH IS! So exponential pricing does not work, because it works for whatever the strength bonus that's needed is. It's using the warp wood spell, and that doesn't make any difference what the wood is, be it pine, or oak, or ironwood...

    New Item, Bracers of Archer's Strength

    Exponentially doesn't work though, because the point is that it doesn't matter how strong you have to be. It's bending the wood magically, not just pulling back. There's only one set, not several sets with different values. Maybe if I were to put a cap of +5 on it, would that make it more...

    New Item, Bracers of Archer's Strength

    You think that's awkward, what would it do with an elven greatbow, which matches its strength level to that of the shooter. But I wouldn't price it as an exponential figure like a belt of strength. Keep in mind, it's good for only one thing, just the bow. No carrying capacity, no bonus to...

    New Item, Bracers of Archer's Strength

    Bracers of Archer's Strength These gloves do not actually increase the strength of the wearer. Instead, what they do is bend the bow, through the use of Warp Wood spell, to bend the bow. The wearer must still use both hands, to hold the arrow, keep tension on the bow, and to aim more...

    Dagger of true theft

    Still, what's the level on a Death Gaze? Or say, Wish 1/day. Or Telekinesis at will?

    Making the poor suckers earn it...

    Personally, I'd hate it. I don't play games to live a normal, miserable life. Now, it's possible to run a fun game with low level NPC classes, certainly. But it doesn't sound like you're doing that. It sounds like the "adventures" will be "spend 6 hours fishing to get enough food for your...

    Linking Metal Types to Schools of Magic

    Iron would work for evocation as well. Or some of the alkali metals, which burn/explode on contact with air. I'd say silver for enchantment. Or one of the other valuable metals.

    Max Dex bonus restricts Dex to attack rolls.

    Wait, so under RAW, someone with a 20 dex in full plate and a BAB of +5 would still roll a d20+10 for ranged attacks? I thought max dex affected EVERYTHING dex related.

    If two different elven sub-races have a child, what sub-race is the elven child?

    Arguably, you could do a punnet square break down. Let's say you have a Wood Elf and a High elf having a baby. High elves have +2 dex, -2 con. Wood elves have +2 str, -2 int. Thus, we get a punnet square that looks like this. Wood Elf High Elf +2 str...

    Item Price Comparison

    If blindness is so much more devestating than disease, why would they both be the same spell level? Also, I think your numbers are wrong. Half of 30K is NOT 150K.

    Sundring Natural Weapons

    Plus, sundering Natural Weapons opens you up to being able to sunder Natural Armor. A full power attack against a Great Wyrm Red Dragon's "worn" object of their hide would require them to hit a whopping 2 with their attack roll. Even assuming that the improved sunder feat doesn't apply to worn...

    Item Price Comparison

    You pick it when you cast it. Not when you select it. Therefore, theoretically, a B/D amulet would protect against both, just as a peripat of health protects against all types of disease.

    Bookstore treats D&D books like Playboy

    Except that in front of the counter is used for broad demographic impulse buy items, like magazines, coffee, and little trinkets. It's premium counter space, and it would be ineffective to put speciality books there.

    Item Price Comparison

    Both are Clr 3 spells, so I'd say so. I might even give it a slight discount if it's only to be used to prevent blindness, as the spell cures both blindness and deafness. Maybe 6000 gp.

    Dire Man

    Stat wise, a "Dire man" would effectively be a NPC with higher HD. To compare the Tiger with the Dire Tiger, the only main differences seem to be that the Dire Tiger has higher HD, and a strength score 4 higher. The Dire Tiger is the same size, but other Dire animals may be a size category or...

    Vow of Poverty Help

    Not really. It's not a question about the rules, so much as about a ruling that is not related to RAW. That said, I do think that a +4 LA is nuts. And, if you want to try to argue it, try this tactic. He said that the stuff given by VoP equals a +4 LA. But that's a +4 LA for characters that...

    Bookstore treats D&D books like Playboy

    When you say "behind the counter" how behind the counter are we talking? Because I worked at a Barnes and Noble for a while, and when we'd put stuff behind the counter, it was because we wanted to promote it, by putting it in a location people are most likely to see it. And of course, we never...
