    Large creatures (with reach) using reach weapons, need clarification..

    No. I am assuming he will have a Large longspear commensurate with his size. Page 150 in the PH says that creatures with natural reach using reach weapons double their reach with the weapon. It gives an example of an ogre (Large creature) with 10 feet natural reach using a Large longspear...

    2 Rules Questions: AoO and Detect Evil

    Sorry Hypersmurf, I edited while you were posting. Yes, once she is invisible, no AoO, but the spell-like ability provokes an AoO before she becomes invisible.

    2 Rules Questions: AoO and Detect Evil

    a) Yes. At Will does not mean free action. Unless specified otherwise, it requires a standard action for the hag to use a spell-like ability. Thus the hag is not only moving, but using a spell-like ability that requires a standard action. Using a spell-like ability, however, provokes an AoO...

    Sneak attacking - I'm a tad confused

    Again, PH page 50: when the rogue flanks her target. In your scheme above, the rogue does not flank his target and so he does not get a sneak attack unless some other condition denies E his Dexterity bonus to AC.

    Sneak attacking - I'm a tad confused

    You are correct in both cases. Did you/they read the sneak attack section on page 50 of the PH? It says you are doing it by the book and they are the ones using house rules. Let me quote: "Basically, the rogue's attack deals extra damage any time her target would be denied a Dexterity bonus...

    Characters and monsters from Band of Four story hour

    A sanctified Pit Fiend. That's too cool. Nice job. BTW, did you know WotC updated the Pit Fiend in the 3.5 version of the MM?

    List of Energy Types?

    Force is not an energy type. It is a descriptor that tells you what kind of effect something is. For example, Mage Armor provides you with a +4 armor bonus to your AC. It is also a force effect so its +4 armor bonus counts against an incorporeal touch attack whereas a normal armor bonus does...

    I think you have it right.

    Move Silently

    I would make the Listen check DC 0, equal to people talking. The dragon's Listen check should be at least +20 (Take 10 + 20 maxed Listen skill -10 for sleeping). He awakens when the group is about 200 feet away. This assumes no doors or stone walls between them, of course.

    Shield other and DR

    If the caster's DR was greater, I would apply the differance.

    Potion-drinking for Dummies

    They are not in the 3.5 core rules, AFAIK. The only book I have that includes them is the FRCS. I play a Greyhawk game and include them in my house rules.

    Shield other and DR

    The spell description says "some of its wounds are transferred to you." If the subject has DR, they are not wounded by the amount of the DR. Therefore, I think you apply the DR first, then divide the actual damage between the subject and the caster.

    Potion-drinking for Dummies

    Potion belts also allow you to retrieve one potion per round as a free action. They hold up to six potions. Masterwork potion belts hold up to 10 potions. As always, you need a free hand to retrieve the potion.

    Death Attack stacks?

    It's the same ability, so it should stack in the same way your sneak attack ability stacks with the rogue and assassin levels. I would go with "a."

    Help me fix my druid

    Track comes to mind. Self-sufficent is also good for a druid. Improved Toughness from Compete Warrior is nice. It gives you +1 hp/HD and you qualify at 1st level.

    Bonus Spells and Enhancement Bonuses

    The buff spells do not grant bonus spells. But magic items such as the headband of intellect do allow the wearer the benefit of the higher Int score for bonus spells.

    D&D 3.x 3.5 and Subdual Damage

    Yes, but it is now know as non-lethal damage instead of subdual damage.

    Sorcerer - Ranged Touch Expert

    I recently finished an evil sorcerer for a villain in my new campaign that will start in a couple of months. One of his main spell attacks is spectral hand with shocking grasp. Don't forget those scorching rays.

    The Band of Four (The Village of Oester)

    I would prefer that you just go ahead and post them in the Rogues Gallery. I am really enjoying your SH. I look for an update almost everyday. Thanks for all your hard work.
