Not every situation is covered in the PHB table, they even say so in the description of AoO, it is not an all inclusive list so don't treat it as one. There will be instances where an action is not listed on it, so use the spirit of the rule, and the spirit of the rule is performing a...

about the whole line of Wizards passing the wand and initiative thing, ready an action won't work, since you can only perform one action with a readied action, delay should work fine though. As far as the using the wand, I think I would rule that objects can only be used a number of times in a...

At 16th level a Mystic Theurge can cast the same amount of 7th level spells, and only misses out on 2 8th level spells (which are powerful, I agree) and is only 3 caster levels lower than a 16 level Wizard, but gains access to spells from both the cleric and Wizard spell lists, something a 16th...

A 10th level Mystic Theurge Cleric/Wizard Combo has a total number of spells per level per day of 10 0-level spells 9 1st level spells 7 2nd level spells 5 3rd level spells 3 4th level spells and a caster level of 7 for both cleric and wizard compared to the following for a straight wizard 4...

Personally, I don't like the mystic theurge as presented in the DMG. As a DM I've found it to be quite powerful, even when created with a suboptimal build (ala a Bard/Cleric), and that most players like it because they feel the Multi-class spellcasters are not powerful enough. I've never liked...

I think your first step is really examining the rules and policies your school uses for clubs, and try to get a list of all official clubs. Work with the system, not against it. Don't just let it drop though, if the school has any similiar "unacademic" clubs, which from the sounds of it they...

In the games I've run I've really only seen Vow of Poverty as being particularly powerful when played by a Monk. You might want to ask your DM to look at Vow of Poverty combined with other classes first before making his decision. Keep in mind by playing a Monk with vow of Poverty, you must be...

I allow weapon finesse to be used with all light weapons or weapons with a natural threat range of 18-20. I hate specifying specific weapons though, so I came up with a set definition of which weapons could be finessed. I know spiked chain wouldn't be finessable using these rules, which was...

Use mutants and masterminds as the base, and allow some of the powers as cyber or bio ware, adept powers or even spells, or critter powers and the like, and then bring over whatever elements from D20 modern, future, apocalypse, or cyber whatever that you want. The Damage save mechanic works well...

Don't forget that shapechange has a pricey material component in the form of a 1,500 gp jade circlet. That might prove to be kind of a pain to carry enough of those around to use it on a regular basis, and what happens when you run out in the middle of a dungeon.

Hmm, instead of making the turning attempt to unlock a magical property of the door, you could have just said the area was consecrated and had a magical lock that only allows dwarves to pass through (which the rogue could try to bypass). Then the door could have been warded using the rules from...

Personally, I'm not sure I'd say the art was generally better back in the 80's than it is now. I think the overall quality (or quanity of good or better pieces) of D&D art is much higher now, it's just that their was some truly awesome pieces of art back in the 80's that truly stood out among...

Actually, as much as I disagree with it (hey, that's what house rules are for) the rules for "flanking" indicate that you must be threatening a creature to flank it, based on the fact that creatures with 0 reach cannot flank period. If creatures with 0 reach can't count as flanking when in the...

They differentiate between melee and unarmed attacks (not natural attacks) because unarmed attacks provoke attacks of opportunity. In addition an unarmed opponent does not threaten the squares adjacent to him. A character with improved unarmed strike makes a melee attack instead of an unarmed...

Funny, but I've been DMing 3rd since it first came out, and I never realized I was handling flanking wrong, I've moved a few times and gamed for quite a few different groups because of it, and none of them have ever called me on it. I've always allowed ranged attacks to benefit from flanking...

Well if you need a laugh check out this site http://www.giantitp.com/cgi-bin/GiantITP/ootscript?SK=1 If you haven't already read them, and even if you have, they'll still make you laugh (they still make me laugh.)

Hi, we are a group of 5, four players (two male, two female) and a DM (male), currently looking to add two additional players to a newly started campaign. We will typically be playing in either Burleson (Just south of Fort Worth, or in Bedford (East of Fort Worth). If interested you can...

Oh I know theres a chance for failure, but don't you find it funny though that your chance for success is actually better when you perform trickier actions as opposed to when you play it safe. I played in an exalted game back when it first came out and found that I never failed a single roll...
