Been a while since I posted...I missed these boards while they were down. Anyway, on with the question. We're tossing together some characters and my player has the idea of using Standstill (I'm not sure where this is from - a feat or a PrC ability so some help here might be needed or I might...

Flynn seemed more interested in martial abilities then magical, so two levels of Fighter for the extra BAB, HD, and Feats mixes well with that he'd like in terms of a character. Two levels for Bard can be big (and I'd never ever recommend multi-classing a sorceror either) but if he's preferring...

Because they just can't choose to take a level in Fighter or Bard or anything. I know this might differ from some other campaign worlds and such, but why aren't creatures such as Asmodeus a level 100 Fighter/100 Wizard/ 100 Bard/etc.? These creatures have been alive for many millenia. Its...

Patryn, usually I agree with you, but not this time. I look at Grim'zk and as a normal MM Pit Fiend, he can be specifically called by name. Why? Because he is just a normal Pit Fiend. I can do that once, twice, or thirty times without a problem. I could even randomly get him if I just...

At the risk of throwing it off topic, I don't think demons, devils, and extraplanars are simply able to "take class levels". Its not a choice to them that is usually open. By nature they are created to live for several eons (assuming they manage to survive). I can only imagine how often and...

I'm sure someone can help me out here, but there is a Feat in Complete Warrior that gives an extra hit point per level with a prereq of only a +2 Fortitude Save. That can definately be an advantage for you in terms of Hit Points. And a 28 AX at level 6 (if I remember the information from...

Bards are flexible, ranged support. They can heal and buff their allies or hamper their opponents. They can also be the pivotal character in a battle. Nonetheless, their role is strictly support in most every way. As mentioned, it would be best not to engage him in melee, especially using...

Gotta agree with what several others here have already said. When I see "unique being" in that circumstance, I'd consider any extraplanar that has advanced hit dice, a template, or class levels (Fighter, Wizard, etc.) as being 'unique'. I use this only for the purposes of defining "unique" per...

In my general opinion, Dopplegangers are generally loathed and feared. I can't think of any race with the abilities of the Doppleganger that would be welcomed in a public atmosphere. The people in general (1st and 2nd degree commoners with smatterings of experts, etc.) will be highly fearful...

Hey all, Hope everyone has had a good New Years. I was wondering what everyone's opinion on the Sudden Metamagic Feats from Complete Arcane. The lack of any prerequisites for these spells is certainly something I question. As the DM, I know I have final say, but I've had an opinion and...

Just to point this out, many villages and smaller communities had the habit of dumping their sewage downstream of the town. Of course, in towns and cities, this is impossible. Safe drinking water is available from wells and from water cisterns set up to collect rain. Places like Rome and many...

Figures...I get set to go off in two months for about five months and all kinds of gaming groups get forming in the Philly area...just my luck :( Good luck to everyone on their group ventures!

Sorry I don't know the answer to your question. However, chances are that WotC's Customer Service section will be even worse. The answers are rarely consistant (as several people here have testified) and they have goofed several times also (as told by others on other occasions). Good luck...

But Thanee raised a good point to me that I hadn't considered: wouldn't a wizard realize that he is facing some type of SR since he is actively making a roll (and I see no reason a DM needs to make this roll behind the screen)? Hence, a wizard would know why a spell failed. Anyone else on the...

I'm not even sure if I want to ask this, but what were Eldar's stats looking like? I know it was a while back, but just some round-a-bouts would be amazing.

Thank you! Makes perfect sense. I've always agreed that celestials should have personalities, but just wasn't aware that such was Evergreens' character.

I would call that a definate drawback to such a curse. I wouldn't call it illogical at all to consider the "bonus" of the book as being connected to the curse. In that case, it would make perfect sense that the bonus is lost when the curse is removed (its not really a bonus, but a side-effect...

That isn't the suggestion here. The question is if a PC (whether the caster or not) is able to deduce whether a creature's Spell Resistance or Saving Throw was what caused the spell to fail. I'm sorry if I worded it wrong. I was thinking that, while not RAW, a Spellcraft check might be able...

Outstanding! Wow. Whooo. Amazing. Wow. Shoot. Oh darn. Wow. Did I mention, Wow? Very nice. A question though: why is it that Evergreen cannot directly help? I understand the pallbearers will attack him should he do something "direct", but why? Because he's an outside? There are...

I'm sure this question has been asked before, but I wanted to inquire again (since I couldn't find any old threads) about the difference in physical descriptions between whether a spell fails due to SR or if the creature makes the Saving Throw. If a PC casts a spell at the creature and the...
