    I need a little tactical advice, as a DM

    Assuming that that party is high enough level to cast the spells anyway, the wands don't really increase their power, just their endurance. You are now free to set up a scenario where, when the casters run out of spells, resting for the rest of the day is not an option. A not very optimized...

    Persistent Moonlight?

    Why is moonlight so much more powerful than daylight that it warrants being a higher level spell? If anything, I would expect that it is weaker, since you can see better in daylight than moonlight. Continual Flame is a second level spell, and provides a permanent light effect with a fairly...

    Nightmare Spinner Bonus Spells

    Reading this strictly, the bonus spells slots are wizard spells. You normally prepare spells, so the first paragraph applies. That said, the class was clearly written with the expectation that the character would be a wizard or a sorcerer, not the multiclass combination that you have. As a...

    Race classes?

    Unearthed Arcana for 3.5 had racial paragon classes, for those who wanted to be more elfy than most elves. Converting them to Pathfinder should be pretty simple.

    D&D 3.x How do I qualify a Warlock for spellcasting PRCs? (3.5)

    Unfortunately, that feat won't work. It grants you a spell-like ability, not a spell. AFAIK, the way to qualify is to take a level of sorcerer (or some other class). And read the prestige class carefully, to be sure that it does not say something like "+1 level in the class used to qualify...

    Wild Magic Tables

    It looks interesting. I think I'll try it soon.

    Combining Gestalt and E6

    I can't see any problems. I can also see it limiting some of the potential problems that might other wise come up. If a third of your players do not show on a typical night, gestalt will make it less likely that you end up with three fighters and a paladin for your party, which then dies due...

    Geeky math question re: Shadow Evocation and saves

    The math isn't as bad as some scenarios. Let r be the fraction of the time the enemy makes a DC 23 reflex save, and w be the fraction of the time he makes a DC 23 will save. (I'm going to ignore corner cases, like only failing on a 1 or only making on a 20.) Let d be the damage on a failed...

    D&D 3.x Hiring a 3.5 Dragon

    Even if one is willing to hire himself out, there is the "very greedy" and "not subservient" aspects. If I was going to allow this, I'd probably figure out a reasonable price for the service and double it. Actually, the doubled price is probably his final offer. His initial offer is...

    Help with CR

    Also note that an equal ECL fight is actually a fairly easy fight. Assuming that the CR's are accurate (which is not certain), imagine cloning one of the party members, and having the full party fight the clone. That's about what an equal ECL fight is. If you repeat that 4 times, you are...

    Removing X ability score minimum to cast spells

    I think that the main affect will be on secondary casters and multiclassed characters. These classes often have poor save DC's anyway, so they should focus on buffing or no-save spells anyway. Paladins have plenty of reasons to bump charisma, but some ranger builds wouldn't mind dumping...

    dxContent.com - New Map Making Tool

    The basic concept looks good for making a simple dungeon map. It's not AutoRealm or similar tools and can't do much of what they can. However, for a simple map, it also could be much easier to learn and use. A few comments: First, save and load need to be implemented for it to be a usable...

    Post your party alignment here! *Systems with nine alignments only*

    Do you want Pathfinder games as well? If so: NE LN LN LN NG To throw off your calculations, the universe is predominantly aligned along the chaos/law axis, not the good evil axis. As a result, evil characters are allowed but chaotic ones are forbidden.

    Undead Armys

    Since you are looking for an army anyway, the natural solution is to form a heirarchy. Instead of controlling 160 HD of 1HD skeletons, he controls something like 16 10 HD undead clerics (his generals). They each control a bunch of 6 HD undead clerics (the lieutenants). They each control a...

    New Spell - Enchantment Transfer

    It looks reasonable to me. It solves the "we just found a Rapier of Much Niftiness but the fighter is focused on Greatsword" problem. I'd add that the target magic item cannot be intelligent (or at least gets a large bonus on its save). A couple of corner cases need clarification. What...

    Bloodcove Disguise

    (Syldar takes appropriate penalties on her attack for shooting into soft cover. They are not included in her roll.) Chaucer maintains his song and steps slightly closer and fires an arrow at the druid. Free: 5 foot step to K17, now 30 feet from druid Free: Maintain bardic music Swift...

    Syldar continues concentrating on the device, but manages to fire a single arrow at the druid.

    Gestalt, Prestige Classes and Feats

    Gestalt uses fractional bab and fractional saves. Saves are classified as good saves (e.g., a sorcerer's will save) and bad saves (e.g., a sorcerer's fort save). Each level of a class gives +0.5 (good) or +1/3 (bad) to the appropriate save. The first time you take a class that has a good...

    Bloodcove Disguise

    Syldar picked up her bow last turn, so her location on the map is correct. Chaucer moves to O17 (5 feet, so at most 15 feet of movement) and readies to interrupt the druid if he casts a spell. He continues singing and activates arcane strike.

    Alternative Magic System

    I like the idea of a check to not lose the spell, but the DC needs to increase as 2*spell level. Otherwise, it eventually becomes automatic. Wizards are powerful enough without giving them 9th level spells at will. I also like the caster level check over the skill check. If it is a...
