    D&D 3.x [3.5] No Take 10/20 specifics?

    Here's another one: Can you take 10 on a Wilderness Lore check made to find food and water when moving at no greater than half overland speed? I guess most animals couldn't because they are always potentially threatened by predators. But if you are not threatened by predators, why should...

    The Iconic Characters - DEAD!!!!

    I think they were the iconics from 2nd Edition.

    'Balancing' rolled characters

    Psion: I think point buy is fair because all players have the same options to start with. I understand that some classes aren't as good unless the character has several high stats, namely paladins, rangers, and monks. But just because you roll high stats doesn't mean that you are going to...

    Things you never thought were wrong with 3.0 until 3.5 came out.

    I actually know a kid (not homeless) that got 2.0 as a hand-me-down from his gamer aunt after 3.0 came out.

    Spell Focus - Still Worth It?

    Spell Focus is still worthwhile, if only because it is so hard to get your spell DCs to a worthwhile level. If your spellcaster uses a lot of enchantments, illusions, or necromancies, yes, spell focus is still worth it. Anything, anything, to raise those spell DCs. +5% to a spell DC for one...

    [3.5] Significant Improvements?

    You now get your level in Hps with a full night's rest, rather than with 24 hours of rest. Complete bed rest gives level x2 hp. Wizards can no longer communicate telepathically with their familiars. They cannot even speak with their familiars until 5th level. (This is a balance issue -...

    'Balancing' rolled characters

    I always think it's strange when I hear that groups roll for stats, but that they do things like "if you don't like your stats, roll up a new set" or "I always add a few points to the person with the lowest stats" or "the person with the lowest stats gets more ability increases.' Why not just...

    Demons and Devils, why only DR/good

    Yes, demons should have damage reduction X/good or law. I vote for a 4th edition free of extraneous alignment components!

    Why do you NOT like 3.5 ?

    You should have the option: Like 3.5, but don't like the editing errors.

    [FR] Help my Cormanthor Drow PCs

    This is little thing, but I think that a deity can only sense when her actual name has been spoken, not when one of her titles has been spoken. I don't have D&Dg with me right now, so I'm not totally sure. That's why a deity's titles are useful for mortals: it allows them to talk about them...

    Le bazar de la vie : OOC Thread. [Full]

    Guillaume, est-ce qu'on va faire la conversion à 3.5? Il y a eu des changements importants quant aux animaux familiers. Le plus important pour moi, c'est qu'un ensorceleur ne peut plus parler télépathiquement avec son familier. En 3.5 l'explication de ce pouvoir a été précisé comme une...

    «Bien, on suit l'ordre de passage que Valishan a proposé? Et oui, Crista peut glisser sous des portes, si l'espace entre une porte et le sol n'est pas trop étroit pour elle. Mais je préfère la tenir près de moi. Si ces créatures peuvent voir dans l'obscurité comme des nains, Crista ne pourra...

    D&D 3.x Savage Species and 3.5 aren't totally compatible.

    The Ghaele is no longer listed with a level adjustment. Maybe that means it's no longer considered to be appropriate as a PC race because its ECL would be higher than 20 because of the better DR?

    D&D 3.x Spell Focus 3.5: WAH! Was it that bad?

    I agree with Al's comments. Dimwhit is also right - at higher levels creatures still make their saves against spellcasters with GSF +4. Case in point: I once ran a two-shot in which the characters encountered a Rakshasa sorcerer with a 20 Charisma and Greater Spell Focus (Illusion). Base...

    Rolling for a paladin

    Quasqueton, I just posted to your other thread in which you complain about your players wanting to have access to all the PrCs, monster races, and templates. You have a problem: You are not a power gamer. Your players are power gamers. I suggest that you compromise, a little at least (I...

    Core races/classes too limited?

    Quasqueton, I have decided from this and other posts that you and I are of a like mind. I like having limitations and working creatively within those limitations. Races and classes should reflect the tone of the campaign. That means if there are no half-celestial kobold monk/assassins in...

    Gamers Near Quincy, IL?

    I'm originally from Hannibal, MO, so I can answer "Yes, really, nobody." That is, there are probably no gamers in Quincy that are also on ENWorld. But who knows? I think there's a comic book store down by the State Street Store (if that place is still there) that maybe sells RPG products...

    D&D 3.x Spell Focus 3.5: WAH! Was it that bad?

    Another issue is that as it stands, Epic Spell Focus gives you +6 to your save DCs. Frankly, I think GSF should have been changed to prerequisite: Caster Level 11.

    D&D 3.x Spell Focus 3.5: WAH! Was it that bad?

    Practical experience has shown that no matter how high the save DC, they will still make their first save, and that includes critters with "bad" saves. Or maybe my DMs have always fudged in their favor. Nerfing SF and GSF means that spellcasters that would like to focus on using offensive...
