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

    Of course they cease to exist. You can't CURE people anymore. Doesn't mean that time reverses and they don't get cured in the past because the spell ran out. See the distinction? Next point, please. ciaran

    Just *how* big is that gold piece again?

    Divide by 10, fellas... divide by 10. ciaran

    Using Detect Evil/Good

    Paladins in 2e had detect evil intent, which was cool because they could tell if a devil was lying, for example... but no alignment nonsense... ciaran

    energy drain

    Read the ability. 1/round no matter how many attacks. Not sure about this one... ciaran

    Why wouldn't you always cast on the defensive?

    The reason why readying an action isn't the same as an action is because it can be B.S.'ed if it's not. Think about two mages: one gets initiative and the other one does not. The first one perpetually READIES a spell to hit the other with when he casts. The disadvantage (that must be so) is the...

    Mongoose Publishing's Pocket PHB

    DMG would be a lot more useful... :rolleyes: ciaran

    In and out of PrCs?

    Can you take levels in other classes freely while progressing in a PrC? I know it's a stupid question. Just tell me! :) ciaran

    Darksun: Athas.org or Dragon

    Both conversions fail to represent what was there. Mechanically imposed game balance is the problem, most probably. I house rule my own. The Dragon version seemed like it was just regurgitated out. About as fan-tastic as the Sha'ir. ciaran

    Balphagor and his good intentions

    Why do a homebrew?

    I've found that if what you add to the core rules is SLIGHTLY more advantageous to go with, the players will take the carrot. Your additions don't have to be unbalanced, they just have to have a teeny tiny edge. Have the other gods, but your god is special. Ie: all my core classes are...

    can bards use wands?

    Where are you "grabbing" all these items from? DM's out smoking or what? ciaran

    Silence counterspell?

    Apart from the silent dispels, YOU can only move 5 feet. The other guy can take his move action and possibly move out of range. He might quicken teleport out of range, too... ciaran

    Why wouldn't you always cast on the defensive?

    People, that's what flank rules are for ;) ciaran

    Spellcasting

    Dark Sun has Bluff rules for hiding somatic components. I personally use Sleight of Hand opposing a Spot roll. Verbals Components are hard to miss, sorry. There is NO mistaking what the spellcaster is doing. Aren't there feats to go around this? ciaran

    Caster Level for Demons and Devils Summoning

    Also, don't forget that summon itself has a spell level if you ever need it (for things like Concentrate). ciaran

    Revising the sha'ir from Dragon 315

    I'm glad that after all this while with a new edition at all, they couldn't think of anything better but forcing the guy to sit around for 1d4 rounds to cast a spell. That class is dead in the water. ciaran

    Crappy Undead Fort saves

    Well, a player wouldn't normally want this on his character sheet as part of his character's weakness, esp. if the solution (for dispatching him) was a common one. My point is, all their immunities are worth jack with a single exploit. Also, how is DM-B.S.'ing immunity to disintegrate options...

    Caster Level for Demons and Devils Summoning

    The default is the creature's HD. Anything else is stated specifically, like the spell-like abilities. ciaran

    D&D 3.x v4: Challenge Ratings pdf (3.5 compatible)

    Well, I agree with whatever is the status quo with U_K's document at present. I'm not about to suggest more working for such an upstanding citizen. :) ciaran
