I have to disagree; I think it's automatic if the illusionist tells you (and you believe the illusionist): "A character faced with proof that an illusion isn’t real needs no saving throw. " It doesn't say proof beyond the shadow of a doubt, or even multiple forms of proof. As long as there is...

I have an RPGA gnome beguiler. Everyone I play with has a love/hate relationship with one of his favorite spells (obscuring mist). Can he make a silent image of obscuring mist instead? Unlike obscuring mist, a silent image can move. It also has a duration of concentration. A will save is...

I don't want detailed troops movement, just the main battles for character backgrounds. Also some of the devices of war (weapon, artifacts and so forth), prestige classes for exotic troops throughout Khorvaire, war-time infusions and spells and finally a bunch of plot hooks. Also, more details...

I'm running a campaign with characters at 3rd level. A noble house leader captured a player's character, and for the purpose of the story we decided to let the player build a new character at the same xp to rescue his old character. Some background: There are only three players (four if you...

I am very fortunate to have several campaigns to run. (I can thank MapTool and Meetup for this.) Here is our current campaign schedule and some info on the orientation of each game: Story-Oriented Age of Worms: We played this one from 1st to 20th last year, and it was a lot of fun...

Another analogy. Every football team needs great quarterbacks, receivers, linemen, special teams, linebackers, etc to be successful. Every team only has so much money to pay for them, and sometimes the offense and/or the defense, will, by circumstance, improve or degrade regardless of how much...

Very, very true. The best campaigns have a great balance. It does seem like, to me, these elements compete with each other. For example, it's difficult (IMO) to have a story arch (like an Adventure Path) and still have players freely explore every aspect of a world. It's also difficult (IMO)...

All campaigns have these four elements, but usually one is stronger than the others. Which do you prefer and which one are you playing in now? Action Oriented: Fight scenes are the primary focus of the game. Classic dungeon crawls. Think Diablo. Character Oriented: This game works best when...

I believe they are also called "nuns".

Another thing to consider is how often does the rogue get a surprise round? If you are playing a rogue with core-only feats, you need to earn your name. Move as far in front of the party (within range of their shadowy illumination) and always hide and move silently while exploring. Put ranks...

I am in the process of building a Living Greyhawk gnome fighter. Do you guys think this will be a survivable build? Someone told me that you can't use a lance two handed to power attack while mounted, but I can't find that anywhere in the rules. Can anyone confirm? At third level with...

That's what I needed. Thanks again Frank!

Description of Spirited Charge: http://www.d20srd.org/srd/feats.htm#spiritedCharge "When mounted and using the charge action, you deal double damage with a melee weapon (or triple damage with a lance)." Do you do double the damage from a weapon's bonus, as with the 2d6 from a charging weapon...

The monk enhancement bonus doesn't stack with the enhancement bonus from the horseshoes, right? An ex-Nezumi Dragonborn sorcerer 1 / fighter 2 / monk 12 / blade dancer 1 with Dodge, Wild Talent, Mobility, Speed of Thought, Spring Attack, Hustle, Run and Improved Speed as feats would have a 145'...

From the SRD: http://www.d20srd.org/srd/specialAbilities.htm#poison Dragon Bile poison is 1500 gp. To craft it, using the rules from BoVD, I think the cost would be 250 gp for the raw materials. What is the craft DC? Also, if you use a weapon to deliver the contact poison, is it a standard...

Last night we started a brainstorming session for a new D&D Eberron campaign I plan to run online. We discussed what players wanted to play and what I wanted to run, and decided to start out in Sharn. One player wanted to run a changeling beguiler disguised as a House Sivis noble. Another...

It's incredibly useful for utility spell selection. For example, in our last session we were exploring the underdark when the party approached a lake we needed to cross. We "befriended" a koa-toa, but there was no way that my craven cleric was going to get in a fish-man's boat without some...

Secrets of Xen'drik and the Explorer's Handbook are the best examples so far. However, almost all of the recent books have locations plotted out for DM's to use with no specific plot tied to them.
