    Spell Storing

    Well you could put read magic in it too if you want. Personally I can think of about 100 other spells I'd put in it before Divine Favor. Like say Heal, Mass Heal, Teleport without Error, IronBody, TimeStop, Maze... need I continue? As far as DCs, they suck at low levels, but once you hit 6-9th...

    Rogue/Barbarian sneak attack while raging?

    As far as official responses, I asked Skip way back when 3e first came out and he said you could definately rage and sneak attack at the same time (sorry don't have the old email anymore, that was a computer or two ago). (Insert usual comment on people giving house rules that contradict the...

    Flea vs Dragon 1-0

    Sounds good, but if he's casting Shapechange, the party cleric is casting True Ressurection, so he's still back and fighting. I say use the best DM rule of all: Sure it works that way. (After telling the player repeatedly that this doesn't work, and giving up) DM: "Fine the dragon's head...

    Hill Giant errata from the sage....

    I always thought it was 7 myself. It was a typo, nothing more. Someone just hit 1-7 instead of just 7.

    The aggravating five foot move.

    This happened last time we played. The enemy kept getting hit with 2 arrows a round, so he decided he was tired of it and tried to sunder the archer's bow. The archer got lucky (kept rolling 20's on the opposed roll), but it still scared the crap out of him.

    Spell effects and death

    Generally it causes too much trouble and too much book keeping. Who cast haste? How about Bull Strength on the fighter? Bulls Strength on the Rogue? How about fly? It gets ugly too fast. As a DM I've found it usually helps you more than hurts you. Hopefully you can turn that one back on him...

    I don't understand deities' spontaneous casting

    Thats why I don't mess with gods. That and the fact that they're freakin gods. I mean I've said "I'm a combat god" before, but I wouldn't fight an actual god of war. What do I look like Hercules? Well ok I'd fight that god of war, you could just beat him up like anyone else near as I could tell.

    Poisons - Rules Clarification Sought

    You wont be disappointed. I hate AD&D with a passion after a while. It just wasn't fun to me anymore. 3e however, I've been playing pretty much exclusively since it came out. Its much better done, more complete, and more fun. Enjoy.

    Would you allow 'Craft Magic Arms & Armors' and the Psionic version to interact?

    My thoughts exactly. From a purely balance point of view there were a few combinations I remember thinking were too powerful, but since I'll be ignored I wont bother finding out what they were.

    what are your experiences with encumbrance?

    Good point. Forgot potions were only an ounce.

    Mental protection

    Theres a mask in PsiHB that gives +4 vs compulsions and enchantments. Would make the perfect template. Mask of Mind Shield, or something like that (don't have the book handy). But since both Psi and Magic items follow the same rule it would make a good guideline.

    Str 13+, Cha 13+, Power Attack IIRC

    Magic Arrows?

    Since everything special about the arrow comes from the bow, it can't be "refired" and keep those properties. You catch it, and it becomes a normal arrow again (or MW or whatever it was). Now if you were using Reverse Arrows, it would keep its abilites as best I can tell (not sure about the...

    is it possible to have a xbow loaded?

    I suppose most MW crossbows could easily have one. Still I'd want an in depth description of how it was stored. Springs or no, if its flopping around banging into your back as you run, its probably going to go off. As far as the free actions, you were correct (whoever said it) you can take...

    Spell effects and death

    He is correct. In all the games I've played in we seem to be waiting for a floating corpse to come within range so we could loot it. Sure does suck to KO'd 360' up when the cleric can't fly. Comon 10% stabilize!

    How do you handle time spent crafting items?

    Very true. I was just using it as an example, since he talked about big items that take the better part of a year. Perhaps a better example would have been Ring of Elemental Command (which would take a monstrous 200 days to make). Though techincally, you could even make that one ability at a time.

    Feather Falling and keeping Dex bonus on AC?

    Which is always true of any spell or situation. I'll repeat myself until someone believes me.

    How do you handle time spent crafting items?

    Big items are usually reserved for time between campaigns, or at least big adventures. On many occasion we've had situations where we said the party took 6 months or more off. If you want to make that +10 sword in the middle of a campaign, you're basically offering to retire your character, so...

    Readying attack against spellcasters

    Why not just grapple him in the first place and avoid the whole issue? Its really the DMs call I guess, but I can't see him stabbing you and still casting his spell, especially if it takes somatic gestures. As far as the spell being disrupted, I agree with Thanee. Think of it this way, the...

    Well no lingering effects other than your Con score being alot lower than it should for several days or weeks.
