Rules for such improvised weapons can be found in Complete Warrior, page 159. The mentioned Table 4-7 lists damage values based on weight and type of item; a wagon, for instance, deals 5d6 damage by virtue of being a blunt object between 201-400 lbs.

A single level dip in Sand Shaper from Sandstorm is nice for spontaneous casters; it loses you a caster level but adds 35ish desert-themed spells to your spells known, including bull's strength, cat's grace, and bear's endurance as 1st-level spells and the other 3 animal buffs as 2nd-level spells.

I think your sarcasm detector is broken. ;)

Nope, you have to stop and train as soon as you have enough XP to level up: That's correct.

That's correct.

There weren't as many edition wars over the 2e/3e transition, and those that existed weren't as bad, because 3e was more of a "logical transition" from 2e for many people: it incorporated houserules that people were already using or dropped rules they'd been ignoring for a while, it kept the...

It's mostly because ToB was a sort of test bed for 4e encounter-centric mechanics, I think. You have the class with random maneuvers, the class with a lot known and about half readied, and the class with fewer known but more readied, to determine whether players value number of maneuvers or...

To expand on parinho's answer, Evil Exception allows a hellbred to cast [Evil] spells and use evil magic items without harm; it doesn't mention feats, and doesn't actually count your alignment as evil in any case, so he wouldn't be able to pick up SF: Evil.

As previously mentioned in posts 21 and 23, by RAW teleportation is unaffected by that rule: Teleportation of the caster neither creates a creature or object nor teleports a creature or object to the caster, so that restriction does not apply to dimension door, teleport, and similar...

The text of the RS capstone is the following: While the RS does let you cast divine spells and thus lets you advance casting with it, it doesn't let you fulfill the protection from evil requirement because that spell is on the sorcerer/wizard list and is thus cast as arcane. However, if he...

Note that you might need Heighten Spell as well, depending on how your DM interprets "gaining access to a new level of spells." He's likely combining the alternate-alignment paladin variants with the prestige paladin variant (since prestige paladin is supposed to replace paladin wholesale when...

I hope that's a quickened sanctum true strike and not just a quickened true strike, or that he crafted it himself with metamagic reduction, because the latter is a 5th level spell and wands only go up to 4th. First, Celerity is usually viewed as too powerful without a way to avoid the daze, or...

I believe you mean Favor of the Martyr. Though it would be appropriate for a spell involving minor time-manipulation to be improved by a spell named after a certain McFly.

It's insane if someone stacks metamagic onto the best spells, less so if they take a sub-par spell and boost that into the stratosphere. For instance, a maximized empowered twinned repeated echoing [other stuff] summon monster IX can get you a lot of minions in a few rounds (like 22+2d4 bone...

As per the text of the feat and the errata, Arcane Thesis reduces each feat's adjustment by -1 (even +0 feats) so long as the final level is at least the spell's original level. So yes, he could use any number of +1 metamagics and keep it in the same slot, but any number of +0s wouldn't bring a...

There's a blog out there called Delta's D&D where the author takes a look at the math and assumptions underlying OD&D to see if they need tweaking, how historically accurate they are, and how they've influenced AD&D and 3e. He did two articles on archery, one on range penalties and one on...

PrC prereqs generally come in three varieties: stuff that the PrC actually uses or needs to some degree (Frenzied Berserker and Power Attack, Incantatrix and a metamagic feat, etc.), stuff that isn't needed or used but that most characters taking the PrCs would have anyways (e.g. Spellcraft...

I would just like to state, for the record, that I'm not a rabid fan of the Tier system or anything of the sort; I have my issues with the placement of some classes and with the system as a whole just as others do. I've merely seen many people misinterpret and/or slander it (not that anyone...

One of the many early-entry methods allowing arcane 2/divine 1 or arcane 1/divine 2 characters to get into MT and similar PrCs at 3rd level, the means of doing so include but are not limited to Precocious Apprentice, Alternative Source Spell, Versatile Spellcaster, Illumian, and so forth. See...

Assuming the master is morphing as well, yes. If you really want it to turn into a construct for whatever reason, however, the psionicist can simply manifest metamorphosis on the psicrystal to turn it into a construct: The answer to the original question of "Does the psicrystal become what I...
