    What 5th-level spells should any Wizard prepare?

    Ok, I think I figured it out. About 4,000 - 4,500 alchemists fires will likely fit in 90 cu/ft depending on the shape and thickness of the flasks. To make all these, it would cost between 26k - 30k. Then again, the market price is three times that :)

    What 5th-level spells should any Wizard prepare?

    I hadn't thought of this. How many alchemists fires could a 9th level wizard make in a day? How many equates to 90 cu/ft?

    grapple rules

    It would seem that these sage responses say otherwise: http://groups.google.com/groups?q=grappling+natural+weapons+sage&hl=en&lr=&selm=20030822185957.21471.00000603%40mb-m01.aol.com&rnum=1 More on this subject from the sage...

    However, the owlbear can use all of its natural weapons in a grapple and not limited to attacks based on BAB.

    Wizard Tips?

    A wand of Melf's Acid Arrow is great for so many reasons: No save No spell resistance Long range Ongoing damage across multiple rounds (good against casters to trigger concentration checks) Can do it multiple times and have multiple continuing acid arrow affects going off each round. Great...

    More killer spell combos

    With Solid Fog, the spell states your speed becomes 5 feet. Does this mean you could perform a run action and move 20 feet in one round? In that case you can most likely get out of Solid Fog in one round most all the time.

    D&D 3.x Spell/Rule Changes from 3.0 to 3.5 -- How did we survive 3.0?

    A +2 to AC, basically giving +10% to hit, makes you as brittle as an eggshell? They might get a little more often, but that 1d12 hit die more than makes up for it.

    D&D 3.x Spell/Rule Changes from 3.0 to 3.5 -- How did we survive 3.0?

    This was explained by Plane Sailing, so I'll skip it. Here is the actual rule: This feat does not let you make more than one attack for a given opportunity, but if the same opponent provokes two attacks of opportunity from you, you could make two separate attacks of opportunity (since each one...

    D&D 3.x Spell/Rule Changes from 3.0 to 3.5 -- How did we survive 3.0?

    The jump mechanic is completely different now. A +30 is much more that it was in 3.0. If you perform multiple AoOs against a single target, they have to be for different reasons. You cannot attack someone twice for going through two squares of your threatened area. However, you can attack...

    Hide & sneak attack situation needs help!

    I know that you stated the whole party is human, but it only takes one person with darkvision (or the spell darkvision) to make it very difficult for someone to sneak up on the party. Since shadows mean nothing, anyone within 60 feet, light or dark, will be plainly visible to a dwarf (for...

    When can a Dire Lion use Rake?

    The point at which the lion grapples will affect the rest of its attacks. If it bites first and succeeds with improved grab, then it is grappling and the rest of its attacks are at -4 to hit (as per grappling rules with natural weapons). A couple questions on this: Can you do the attacks...

    Troll regeneration and wounding weapons

    I just found something in the SRD from the regeneration special ability that would seem to support wounding still gets through: Attack forms that don’t deal hit point damage ignore regeneration. Now I'm really confused...

    Troll regeneration and wounding weapons

    Does a troll get affected by a wounding weapon? Or can you not take CON damage from a damage source that is only nonlethal? I can't seem to find facts to back that up in the SRD, but it seems to make sense to me. Looking for facts....

    Paladins doing trade-ups of their mounts?

    Are there rules that state you cannot trade-up your mount for a better alternative when you level-up? For instance, pick a warhorse at 5th, then a celestial warhorse at 6th, then a dire lion later?

    Amulet of Health or Belt of Health

    That's not the amulet of health I saw in the 3.5 SRD:

    Amulet of Health or Belt of Health

    For some unknown reason, the Amulet of Health, which gives +2 con, is shown as a 4,000 gp item, even though it doesn't follow its own body slot affinity guidelines (an amulet is for protection or discernment, not for physical improvement) and should be 6,000 gp. Was this an oversight? I...

    Improved grab with AoO?

    Can a monster use its improved grab ability while hitting with an attack of opportunity? It would seem no because improved grab requires a free action. You have to be on your turn to do a free action. What do you think?
