    How many free actions

    I need to make a rogue type character for a campaign I am playing in. I was thinking of making an invisible blade from CW. One of the primary abilities granted by an invisible blade is the ability to feint in melee as a free action. I was somewhat unclear on how often you can do this. In the RAW...

    A Politician Prestige Class?

    Mindbender might be useful depending on what he wants. Also in Book of Exalted Deeds there is a diplomat PRC, Emmisary of Barachiel . But you have to be good to take it. Here is an interesting thread on a minmaxed diplomacy expert...

    Items with Free Action Activation?

    So using the same idea an item of unlimited use true strike as a free action is 81k. Just be warned that items with unlimited uses can be abusable. Items that have unlimited uses as a free action are even worse. As an example of something with unlimited use that is abusable. The "I want to...

    Protecting my PC from Ability Score drains

    Stack with itself might have been a bad way of phrasing it. For example if you get hit by something that does ability damage or drain. Then get hit by it next round you will loose more of whatever. IE shadow str damage. But my question was answered, Blasphemy caused weakness is a specific effect...

    Protecting my PC from Ability Score drains

    I had a somewhat sidetracked question. With Blasphemy one of the results that is possible is that you are put into a weakened state. This is explained as your str being decreased by 2d6 for 2d4 rounds. Now that is not defined as str drain or damage. So I'm thinking that this wouldn't stack with...

    When do you lose spells?

    I thought there was a % chance of loosing spells when dead/raised. But I could be thinking of something else. edit: Ok, I checked the SRD, raise dead gives a 50% chance of loosing each spell, in addition to any lost due to level loss. Resurrect and I'm guessing true resurrect have no memorized...

    Wild Shape- 15 HD Limit?

    I have to add my vote to the majority, the wildshape description says like polymorph except as follows, one of the things that follows is the statement that druid can wildshape into anything up to his HD. Another way to look at it, is if they meant to use the HD limits in polymorph why would...

    Nasty trick - will it work?

    What actually happens is the charger is both unable to complete his action and required to do so. This state causes a rip in reality that results in a blackhole that destroys everything within 5 light-years so that the universe never has to deal with something that dumb again.

    D&D 3.x List of Problem 3.5e spells? Where?

    I have to say that I think the "don't twist his result" clause in the wish spell only applies if the character is casting the spell hmself. If the character is getting the spell cast on his behalf by someone else he had better trust that person. If it's a semi-hostile extraplanar creature that...

    D&D 3.x [3.5]Need help with a character concept/idea -- QUARTERSTAFF

    In my opinion taking a couple levels of druid just for a 1st level spell isnt really worth it. It is a nice spell, but it only lasts 1 minute per level. so a couple of minutes tops. Plus you would have to either know about the fight in advance or waste the first round of combat casting it...

    Help make a spiked-chain wielding pit-fighter

    That is something I have been thinking about as well. I am designing a 12th lvl character for a possible campaign. I had decided to go with a spiked chain fighter. With a human fighter 12 I was able to get up to whirlwind, improved trip, up to greater weapon spec and EWP: spiked chain. All those...

    Forcecage Question

    There is one flaw with the forcecage the badguy and then just leave him to suffocate. Who wants to wait that long to get the loot? Mabye if it's a monster who wears/uses no equipment. But if it's got some magic items I don't want to be waiting no 6-8 hours for the dumb thing to suffocate.

    D&D 3.x [Aaaarrrrgh 3.5] Scry - can you seen the sensor?

    Unfortunately it seems they have confused scrying wizards with superman. Mabye they just figured that if superman can't see through lead then some punny wizards shouldn't be able to either.

    Balancing Polymorph?

    My main problem is that baneful poly just looked like a renamed poly other with a bonus to save if the form would be lethal. So unless there is some other penalty involved everyone will just use "baneful" polymorph to turn thier fighters into giants. Which is the exact situation we have right now.

    Critical hit when doing ability damage.

    So could a caster get improved crit with ranged touch spells? So you can crit on a 19-20 with your enervation? I doubt it but it's ammusing.

    Spiked Chain

    My main problem with the normal reach weapons is that while you can use quickdraw to draw a close combat weapon once something closes you are then stuck in that mode. IE you are fighting someone just north of you. You take your actions that round. Later in the round an enemy moves through a...

    Shade Race from Dragon #307...ECL +2!?!

    I read most of the thread, though I started skimming near the end since it side tracked. I would have to vote for a +1 LA. It's a strong +1 but that is better then +2. As a comparison look at a tiefling, they get +2dex, +2int, -2chr and some minor elemental resistances and a couple SLAs. So...
