    Silence

    Hi! First to fusangite: As I see it, according to the rules silence stops all sound in the area - no save, no SR. Except if the caster tries to center it on a creature: in this case the target creature has a will save and SR, which negate the spell alltogether. Ok, maybe I was wrong on the...

    Silence

    Hi! No. Situation: Enemy (E) has won Init against Player (P). Round 1: E acts as it pleases him (-> E ist sculpting the fight) ; P casts silence Round 2: E HAS to dispel the silence (assuming he can't safely move out which is very likely the case in a dungeon); now P can act as it pleases...

    Limits on character creation: Opinions?

    Hi! 1. I don't allow evil alignments (bad experiences). CN is fine with me, as my players thankfully don't abuse this. 2. We're using point-buy (30) 3. +1 races are ok from the beginning but will rise to second class level only at 3.000 XP. Higher ECL only as a replacement when the party has...

    Silence

    Hi! :) Right, but you'd better roll high enough to succeed with that dispelling. ;) And even if you do: the silence will effectively buy its caster the initiative in the fight because the enemy must react (with dispel) and the silence-caster will then be able act HIS way. In addition to...

    small carrying

    Hi! I tend to get the other way round and and simply get rid of this rule. That would make the Str-numbers absolute again. And the -2 malus on Str of gnomes and halflings assures that they will be weaker in comparison to the bigger races.

    Silence

    Hi! If its not placed directly on the mage there's no save, no SR...don't you think that this is a bit too powerful for a second level spell? It makes almost all spellcasting impossible since very few wizards memorize that many silenced spells. In a typical dungeon-room you won't be able to...

    small carrying

    Hi! Why exactly can small races such as halflings or gnomes carry only three quarters of a med sized craeture with the same Str? If a human Barbarian happens to have the same Str as this giant he can carry as much! Its alright that "small" equipment has less weight, but why can small ones...

    Dwarven Defender

    Hi! I'd suggest taking the close-quarter fighting feat from Sword&Fist to prevent exactly this dangerous maneuver.

    Bastard Sword, Mighty Bows et al.

    Hi! Ok, just to prevent any misunderstandings: I'm NOT talking about more powerful crossbows. Nothing against THAT! But I am against linking this additinal damage to your Str. Alright, but these are Weapons of different sizes! Bigger Weapon - higher die. In real ancient greek wasn't any...

    good forced to do evil?

    Hi! My Demon Prince just got a new hobby... :D Thanks!

    Bastard Sword, Mighty Bows et al.

    Mighty Bows Hi! I think there should be mighty bows. In 3.5 even the sling adds the Str-mod! Thrown weapons use it as well. With a crossbow you don't use your own Str but a mechanical so YOUR str doesn't help. As it is only bigger weapons have higher damage dice. Your idea is just not "in...

    A Spell to lower Spell Resistance?

    Hi! In BGII there were at least 2 spells that lowered SR: "Lower Resistance" at 5th level; there was one at 8th level as well but I can't remember the proper name just now... :o

    Alignment - What am I?

    Evil??? HE didn't torture the prisoners. (right?) He freed them all. Some of them are his servants but not his slaves. You don't mind killing but you prefer other methods of accomplishing your goals. Your main concern is you - but you don't like to hurt others. I'd say you're true neutral.

    Tell me about medieval border fortresses, please!

    Off the ground In the D&D-Cosmos there are "improved engineers": Xorn, Earth Elementals, and so on. You have got to secure the very ground against that kind of borrowing dangers... But I don't have the great Idea how to achieve this. A large area wall of force? Or a plate of steel laid in the...

    Where do they fall?

    Thanks! So if "E" in the following combat situation was just tripped after moving by P he could still attack X at -4. Cool... :cool: E -X P

    Where do they fall?

    Just another spiked chain question: An enemy moves through my 10 ft. threatened area provoking an AoO. I trip him successfully. Q¹: Where does he fall prone: in 5 ft. or 10 ft. distance? Q²: If its 5 ft. could he possibly still attack me from prone position and simply take the malus to his...

    (Way OT) How bad is the heat wave in Europe?

    Here in Germany we've got 35-40°C. The farmers are VERY worried about the crops and they'll suffer heavy losses there. But we have only minor forest fires. Portugal however has requested assistance from the EU because they can't handle them alone any more. The forests in France, Spain and Italy...

    mithril vs. silver

    Isn't (go kreynolds! :D ) "Au" the abb for gold ("aurum")? Perhaps he wanted to say that silver is different from gold is different from adamantium? ;) Just kidding... :)

    D&D 3.x [3.5] Synergy bonus?

    There's no "synergy-bonus" All those "synergies" provide UNNAMED Boni. And these DO stack.

    Our campaing house rules, balanced?

    just a thought On principle, its the fighters stick to have lots of bonus feats. If you grant bonus feats to everyone the fighter as a class gets nerfed compared to the other classes. But giving them ONE additional feat of this restricted list should do no harm. Just don't give them more bonus...
