No Magic Good timing. I just noticed this very thing this morning. The Rod of Metamagic Maximization has a detection description of No Magic (or No Specific School, I can't remember). My guess would be b/c there is no one school that is linked to the item.

I'm not going to rehash the entire 10-month campaign to justify this encounter. Suffice it to say, the party knew what they were getting into and this was the climactic battle of the campaign. Stopping to rest wasn't an option. Flying resources had been expended (others were flying, but the...

Well, the situation came up. The party is average 11th-lvl, and their resources were reaching their limits. Flying spells were exhausted and one fighter was left with no means of flying to reach an air elemental type creature with 15-ft reach (although even 10-ft reach would have been too far...

Can a character ready an attack against a monster's reach attack? For example, against a flying monster with 15-ft reach that cannot otherwise be attacked due to the distance. If an attack can be readied, should there be a penalty to the attack roll due to the fact that the creature's entire...

I think there's a feat covering this very topic in the 3.5 MM.

Apparently, the Miniatures Handbook has "Sudden" metamagic feats that do exactly what I was looking for (i.e. allowing 1 spell per day to be metamagicked without preparation). I'll have to check it out...

Well, I guess it depends a lot on the type of players in your group. You can never stop game abuses cuz there will always be loopholes. I know our group wouldn't think of stacking metamagic feats and using them to unbalance battles. Maybe players in your game would. But I developed this...

Nothing. However, the same holds true for the enemy. Also, we've got a pretty mature and role-playing minded group of players who don't like casting the same thing over and over again (or using the same feats over and over again). Our group is pretty good at self-regulating to prevent game...

A lot depends on the type of campaign you're running. IMC, battles don't occur that much so metamagic feats usable 1x/day are fine.

If you take the feat twice, you gain additional uses of the metamagic feat per day (so if you had 4 uses per day, now its 8). I don't want to make it too complicated. And if there's one battle per day, then I'd expect to see metamagic used in that battle. That's the whole point - to get...

I like the 4/extra level cost idea. For us, sorcerers aren't a problem b/c we don't use them much. I'm gunna run it by my group and see what they think.

I'm considering changing metamagic feats to be usable a set # of times per day without increasing a spell's level. IMC, metamagic feats are rarely used so this new system would potentially mean that the feats would be used on a daily basis. The more levels that a metamagic feat would normally...

I think the point is to have the phylactery be something unique and special. I don't know what's special about a copper coin, especially if it looks like all the others (now, maybe the lich used magic to disguise the coin/phylactery...). Othewise, why not just disguise the phylactery as a grain...

My bad, I missed the sentence at the end. The 3.5 SRD states you CAN make full attacks while your mount is moving.

I don't have my books so bear with me. I seem to recall that a mounted character can only make a partial attack during an airborne mount's flyby attack (specifically, IRT to dragons). While this seems to make sense in terms of melee attacks (i.e. one swing of a weapon as the dragon flies by)...

First off, I don't have the new DL book. Old "forbidden" schools were: Black Robe: Abjuration & Illusion Red Robe: Abjuration & Necromancy White Robe: Illusion & Necromancy IIRC, once a wizard reaches 3rd level he must take the Test. If he refuses, he is branded a renegade and dealt with...

You are aware that True Seeing has a material component that costs 250 gp, right? That right there should limit a cleric's ability to constantly cast the spell. And if money isn't an issue, simply limit the availability of "mushroom powder, saffron, and fat" so that the spell becomes less...

I don't have my PH in front of me but I don't think it specifies accuracy of destination within 5 feet. Maybe if the wizard is scrying right before he appears, but as a DM I'd give some kind of dramatic effect that announces the impending arrival of the wizard. If the wizard isn't scrying...

Just b/c a martial artist receives training to get up from prone while avoiding attacks doesn't mean that attacks never occur. I've seen plenty of martial artists get their butts kicked when they try to get up from the mat. Training to get up is good and all, but when you're fighting someone...

Ahhh, that's right. You can make a MEA but not an actual move.
