I don't think I necessarily agree with you, Foxworthy-- I do to a point, as in you shouldn't be unfair to the PC's, I agree with that... But very often you get PC "abusers", mostly the min/maxers and power-gamers. And they usually always want the BEST item possible-- i.e. the most powerful, the...

OK, I think I answered my own question-- From the SRD: So you can discharge a touch spell in conjunction with an unarmed attack or natural attack... does anyone disagree or know of contradictory rules??

I thought maybe this post would fit better here... Hey, I am in the midst of doing some module updating, and I was wondering what some of your opinions would be on modified EL's for these two: 1) Nightmare Keep, originally 1E for levels 18-20. The two main "baddies" at the end are a Mature...

Risner and Desert Gled, you have me a bit puzzled... You both seem to agree on the unarmed strike part, why not the natural attack? Does it state somewhere you can't combine a touch spell with a natural attack??

I think I agree with the jist of DarkelvenSFi's point, there is a certain "realism" incorporated into any fantasy setting. This is in addition to the "suspension of disbelief" element in a setting... The combination of the two lend to the uniqueness of each setting-- Middle Earth, Forgotten...

Totally 100% up to the DM. Here's my view though, There are cities (in the Realms, for example, like in Calimshan or cities with Thayan Enclaves) that specifically state that magic is available and abundant, but other than that the DM should use good judgement-- remember supply and demand as...

Hmmm, I don't have the Draconomican in front of me, what does that template give that the regular zombie template doesn't? The adventure has them as "Undead Dragon Turtles" with basically the same abilities as a regular dragon turtle but they're undead... What template would be most appropriate?

Hey, I am in the midst of doing some module updating, and I was wondering what some of your opinions would be on modified EL's for these two: 1) Nightmare Keep, originally 1E for levels 18-20. The two main "baddies" at the end are a Mature Lichling (converted to CR 11) and a Demilich, which in...

I wouldn't say the DM went "out of the way" to make keep ownership "painful"... Keep upkeep would reasonably be too expensive for a 4th-lvl PC... Check out DMG2 and Stronghold Builder's Guidebook... Also, if you're an adventuring party out adventuring, who's gonna watch the keep? Do you think it...

Noumenon, I don't think you're wrong, it would certainly be a little better than a normal attack, even if it is just for that one attack. And why not use bull's strength in addition to holding a touch spell? That way there is a better chance to hit and even a bit more damage. Against certain...

Okay, I think this might have been answered, but I wanted to ask real quick-- say you have a monk/sorcerer with touch spells, or a werewolf/cleric with touch spells-- can you "hold" a touch spell and combine it's effects with an unarmed strike or natural attack? Like can the werewolf attack...

Hey there, I have a few questions about scrolls. 1) When a wizard scribes a scroll, is it automatically at it's lowest level or can the wizard decide what the CL is for the scroll? For example, a 5th-level wizard scribes magic missile, is it as a CL 1 spell with 1 missile or can the wizard...

If you have access to it, try looking in Dungeon #129-- Chosen of Malar template. It's a big level adjustment, but it gives you fast healing, very nasty claws, a huge Con bonus, and a few other immunities and abilities. Throw a few Rgr/Bbn levels in there for rage, speed, 2-weapon fighting...

It's been a long time since our group used this, but it came up again-- where are the rules located for finding a hidden camp? The encounter guide for Forgotten Realms gives a percentage chance of an encounter vs. whether or not you have a regular camp or a hidden one... I assume it's probably...

Hey Shin, thanks for the suggestions-- the combat coverage issue goes without saying, it would be nearly impossible to cover everything! Our group does tend to adjudicate on the fly, and in the time between sessions formulate a solid house rule. I like the "standard action" and "climb check"...

Hmmm, I guess the Giantbane Feat does pretty much cover the basics... it seems a little restrictive that you would need to use a feat to attempt this though. I mean, you see it in movies quite a bit! (I know, I know, this isn't a movie...) There are some situations where this could be useful...

Any specific rules about, say, a small-size character leaping onto the back of a large (or bigger) monster, like a halfling with a dagger trying to jump onto a frost giant? And trying to stay on and fight it from that position? What about like a human leaping onto the back of a huge dragon who...

Hey Starbuck, thanks for the link-- that clears up the polymorph and wild shape thing. What about lycanthropy? There's a description in the Monster Manual and there is also one in an FR book, I believe Races of Faerun-- which one is correct? And is it true that if you are a lycanthrope and...

Thank-you guys, I found it! Appreciate the help!

In the 3.5 book Lost Empires of Faerun, on pg44 in a sidebar there is a reference to a prestige class called Netherese Arcanist, which according to the sidebar is in the Player's Guide to Faerun. The prestige class is not in that book, I checked-- was this errated anywhere? Does this prestige...
