According to the SRD, the paladin would not have lost his abilities for smashing open the tomb of the holy saint. Smashing a holy tomb: -Does not make the paladin cease to be Lawful Good. -Is not a willful Evil act. It's certainly not Good and is possibly Chaotic, but I can't see how it's...

As defined by the Book of Vile Darkness, stealing is an Evil act. Since the BoVD is an official WotC product for the Dungeons & Dragons d20 game, that means in the D&D game, stealing is an Evil act.

Even if the DM rolls the Search/Spot check to search for traps (which is completely appropriate), the party is still wasting huge amounts of game time taking their 10s and 20s while searching every single square space for traps. Searching for traps seems to be a completely visual activity. We...

It sounds like you already know what you are looking for, but you just don't know it yet. Try the Socratic method. However, if you use the method you described above... ...you are essentially substituting a Spot check for a Search check. If anyone can see an irregularity (and who can't?)...

So lame. They could have avoided this problem from the start by giving sorcerers spell-like abilities and changing spell-like abilities so that they require a somatic component. Now they realize that dragons actually casting spells with components doesn't make sense. Oh well.

That's my question. The spell description from SRD is as follows: This is written strangely. The text says a successful melee touch paralyzes, and a Fortitude save protects from the sickening spell of a paralyzed victim. But the Saving Throw line doesn't deferentiate between the two...

As has been said, Spot and Search don't make sense, for a whole of of reasons I've listed below*. This leads me to believe that a solution to the problem of the slow-going rogue is to abolish the Search skill: -Characters use Spot to find traps and secret doors. -When a PC looks for an...

It looks like now the racial feats from RoF are not regional feats. For instance, the Tethyrian racial feats are now listed under Western Heartlands, while the Calim:):):):)e racial feats are listed under Calimshan, or some facsimile thereof. However I don't think PGtF ever explicitly says...

The PC series created a host of monster classes. Top Ballista gave a lot of general monster classes that could be found in the flying city of Serraine. Example classes: sky gnome, sphinx, gremlin, nagpa. Tall Tales of the Wee Folk gave fey classes. Examples: treant, pooka, sidhe, hsiao...

Divine Champion seems to be designed as a fighter multiclass. You get bonus feats as a fighter plus some extra stuff to make you divine. You possibly give up early access to Greater Weapon Focus and Specialization. Even though the campaign I'm in won't last that long, I was planning on my...

My character is Ftr6/Abj 2 with a black cat familiar named Eilistraee. I have a miniature for her kindly provided by another player. The familiar was once (unfairly IMO) targeted by a water troll and should have died, but was just squeezed unconscious. Otherwise, she helps with the constant...

Thanks for taking me off. I was starting to get doubles and triples of the same Share the Love e-mail, from people I didn't know for stuff I didn't want. Now I know why. They seem to have stopped now. Yay!

To Tmaas and Taelorn: Please edit your posts to remove my e-mail. It is "aamaclark@hotmail.com", the first address on the lists. I never asked to be put on this list, and I don't appreciate the unwanted spam. I have solicited and used "Share the Love" discounts from one person on this...

No, Diaglo likes the Original, or Classic D&D from 1974. Mirrorball Man was talking about Basic, or OD&D, which had the Basic, Expert, Master, Companion, Immortal, and Rules Cyclopedia sets. It was first released around 1978 (I think). Check out Bregh's post above. Just today I was trying...

So this Martial Weapon Proficiency feat doesn't have Simple Weapon Proficiency as a prerequisite? That's pretty wacko if true. "Oh, I'm an Eldritch Knight. I can use a greatsword, but heck if I know how to wield a mace."

A friend and I were talking about this subject this week. We came to the conclusion that Basic and AD&D were rooted in a mythological culture of Western Civilization, meaning Europe. The U.S. is becoming more inclusive and so is D&D. I have no problem with Ember being black, for instance...

Altran la suit.

Here is a question I have from last night's session. Our party had infiltrated a fort of ogres and goblins. My character had silently opened a door to see three goblin guards in a room. I shut the door and indicated to the party that there were goblins in the room. I then opened the door...

Nitpick alert!!!! A spell component can be verbal, somatic, material, focus, divine focus, or XP. A lot of people hear "spell component" and they think "material component", which I'm guessing is the true question of the poll: "Material spell components -- do you use them?" If you don't...

I had a similar post back in October, without the luster and flavor of Khaalis's. http://enworld.cyberstreet.com/showthread.php?t=66029 In my post I tried to address (not well) the incorporation of current feats that alter spell-like abilities, such as the Empower Spell-like Ability and...
