    D&D 3.x Suggestions to fix the Sorcerer skill list (3.5e)

    By giving them a class feature that allows them to add one cross-class skill of their choose to their list of sorcerer class skills. Either that or just allow them to choose any three class skills in addition to Craft, Profession, and Concentration. If sorcerers truly do not require training...

    How much time needed to wake up?

    Thanks for the references! As to the Call of Cthulu reference: while they are taking a round to wake up, what state are they in? I would guess dazed, and they are flat-footed until they act. Now, what about trancing?

    D&D 3.x Am I missing something (shapechanging in 3.5)

    Oh thank God. and there was much rejoicing... The things that Alter Self says do not change, and that are not addressed in the other spells, are: -class -level -hit points -alignment -base attack bonus -base save bonuses By a literal reading of the rules, these things do not change. Now...

    Hunh? Enemies run away? You can do that in D&D? ;)

    D&D 3.x Am I missing something (shapechanging in 3.5)

    Interesting problem with the Polymorph spell: According to the official rules on healing, a subject gains no hit points for resting for one night. A subject only gains hit points for resting for 24 hours. This means that no healing is gained from Polymorph unless you are using house rules...

    Why did they lower spell DCs? (3.5)

    What is so funny is that now, as Balgus said, spell power no longer improves spell DC. The very thing they said they wanted to fix by nerfing spell focus and greater spell focus, they fixed anyway. I'm sorry, but non-power gamer characters need Spell Focus (and yes, Greater Spell Focus) at...

    D&D 3.x Am I missing something (shapechanging in 3.5)

    Anyway, Alter Self says: "Your ability scores don't change." then "Your hit points don't change." Well, duh. If your Constitution doesn't change, and neither does your HD, then your hit points wouldn't change either. RAW, I guess you wouldn't change hit points, no matter what, for...

    D&D 3.x Am I missing something (shapechanging in 3.5)

    What's the point of getting a better Con score and a bigger, tougher body, if you still have the Hp of a measly mage? Fah, let'm have the Con bonus to Hp.

    Powerful Races and Beginning XP

    Well, that explains it, although it still isn't totally clear since some of the other sub-races still list the +2 Dex. Still, I retract my passive-aggressive rant. :)

    Tiny creatures, AoOs, and 5' steps

    It seems like the AoO that tiny or smaller creatures incur for entering another's space is specific only for that circumstance. The rules for tiny or smaller creatures only say that the AoO is granted to the creature whose space is being invaded. My DM is going to use a lot of tiny creatures...

    Tiny creatures, AoOs, and 5' steps

    Just fought a tiny flying demon. According to the rules, a tiny creature provokes an AoO from a larger creature whenever it enters that creature's space. Is this true even when it only takes a 5' foot step?

    D&D 3.x [3.5] SRD: Seen any bugs?

    The chart listing the price for magic items shows the base price and price of magic materials for potions and scrolls to be half of what it should be. The stat adjustment for drow elves is shown as +2 Cha, +2 Int in the text, but is the normal +2 Dex, -2 Con, +2 Cha, +Int in the 1st level drow...

    Powerful Races and Beginning XP

    I vote for your solution, KaeYoss. I would suggest using the apprentice rules from the 3.0 DMG, too. Drow class Drow 1: +2 Dex, -2 Con, +2 Int, Darkvision 60', SR 10, +2 racial bonus on Will saves against magic, dancing lights & faerie fire 1x/day: caster level 1, proficient in hand...

    Elves - not that chaotic. Well the wild ones are, the moon ones aren't too much, and the sun ones ain't at all. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- from Arnwyn: I was going to put wild elf, high elf, and grey elf, but I figured people would...

    How much time needed to wake up?

    Last night my character got suprised by a constrictor snake while on guard duty during the night. After the suprise round and after the snake had squeezed her once again, it was her turn and she screamed for help. One companion, a human, was asleep. Another, an elf, was in trance...

    What is XP?

    I think they got this concept from Tolkien, who shared this vision of item creation. In one of the "Lost Tales," there was a story about a member of the race of Gan-Buri-Gan who made a magic statue to protect a family of humans. When some orcs came, the statue animated and fought them off...

    Great! Now this Semi-Autistic Obsessive Compulsive Arch-Pedant (kudos to Derulbaskul for this wonderful descriptor) wishes they had actually made elves NG and gnomes CG. Elves - not that chaotic. Well the wild ones are, the moon ones aren't too much, and the sun ones ain't at all. Gnomes...

    need to go to the sage

    If your character lives in the Forgotten Realms and has knowledge of either the Avariel or Aarakocra, then he could use alter self to fly. To have knowledge of the Avariel you would need Knowledge (local) of a region in which they live (Knowledge (local) gives you information about humanoids)...
