You think they made a typo three times - armor, rods, and wonderous items? I agree with your logic though. So that's a yes then? Spellcasters eat the material component and xp costs for prerequisite spells that aren't actually activated by the item being created. Thanks, Nick

I've got more questions for you Grand D&D Rules Master Hypersmurf if you're feeling up to it. ;) 1. The first one is just out of curiousity. Why do you think that you have to pay material components and xp cost for prerequisite spells when creating magic armor but not magic weapons, rods, or...

That makes more sense Hypersmurf. What about potions though? The text does specifically say a standard action for potions and oils. Thanks, Nick

Thanks Anubis, I did RTFM. I was just making sure that wands were the exception and I wasn't reading it wrong. Thanks again, Nick

Hi, Now I know that using a wand takes as long as it normally takes to cast the spell that the wand has in it, but what about potions and scrolls? In the text for the activation of wands, this is specifically spelled out, but not for potions and scrolls. Do you just use the normal casting...

But the terrain modifiers go on to give spot distances and the like. Going from more detail to less detail in the rules doesn't seem to be WotC's style. What do you think? Thanks, Nick

Well, the procedure for spotting other parties that was listed in the 3.0 DMG is missing from the 3.5 version. I don't know if this was by accident or by design, but I'm guessing the former. Anyway, does anyone with access to the 3.0 DMG want to email me at kirowan@yahoo.com and help me out...

That makes it very clear. Thanks! Nick

Okay, I thought I understood magic items and how much they cost to create. I thought you paid 1/2 the market price in gp and 1/25 the market price in XP. Additionally, you pay any material component costs and xp costs of the spell used to create the item as many times as the item has charges...

Thanks Mistwell! Nick

The text for this ability in the 3.5 DMG says that every third level gained by the shadowdancer adds +2 HD to her shadow companion. Then, as an example, it says that a 9th level shadowdancer can have a shadow companion with 6 HD. Since a medium shadow has 3 HD to begin with, shouldn't this...

On page 208 in the 3.5 DMG, there is an entry for the Epic Druid. The information for the animal companion states that "the druid may have a maximum number of animal companions equal to twice her class level, as normal." I assume this is a reference to the 3.0 rule, right? 3.5 druids only get...

Starting on page 200 of the 3.5 DMG, special familiars are listed until page 204. Now, the familiars are supposed to have their BABs and saves reconfigured per the rules for familiars, but as far as I can tell, all their BABs and saves are the same from the MM. I was going to report this as...

PCs are only allowed to have one cohort at a time and they must have the leadership feat to have one, right? There's some text in the DMG here and there that suggest both possibilities. Thanks, Nick

Goodman Games produces a martial arts book called Beyond Monks that I've heard really good things about. Nick

I think I'll be house ruling that one. Nick

The way I understand it, having them perforated cost more. I don't mind since I laminate the entire sheet before cutting the counters apart anyway. Nick

Necromancer Games has a city sourcebook adventure module that will take players through levels 1 to 5 coming out in August titled Lost City of Barakus. It's fully 3.5 compatible. Nick

From the diagram in the PH, it seems that you pick a corner to cast the spell from and then pick any intersection of squares out until the range limit of the spell. Then you draw an imaginary line between the two points and out until the range of the spell. Any square that the line goes...

A character's caster level when using spell-like abilities is equal to his class level, right? Likewise, a creature's caster level when using his spell-like abilities is equal to his hit die, correct? I can't find this explicitly stated anywhere in the 3.5 books. I only saw a reference to it...
