    Layout for Secure Shelter

    Can you please elaborate on this point? I read the above post. Do extradimensional spaces conflict only when it so states in the description? Handy Haversack, for example, does not mention that it does, but it describes the Haversack as similar a Bag of Holding.

    Thief, the Dark Project, the RPG?

    Thief 3 was released last year. It's really good. Very, very creepy. I just finished a mission in a haunted former insane asylum and orphanage. Super creepy.

    Spiked chain tactics

    Pick up Boots of Steadfastness(steadiness?) from the Arms and Equipment Guide. For 6,000 gp you're immune to trips and bull rushes.

    Layout for Secure Shelter

    Finally, someone one who understands me! Of course the ultimate home-away-from-home would also include an ample laboratory and forge for late night bouts of inspiration and crafting. With the advent of the Unseen Crafter spell (lvl 2, Races of Eberron), each night presents a days worth of...

    Layout for Secure Shelter

    Thanks for the spell! But Chronus needs an non-extradimensional space owing to the diversty of extra dimensional doo-dads carried by the party. Hander haversacks, scroll tubes of holding, etc.

    Layout for Secure Shelter

    Awesome thanks for the layout. I wonder I could get away with a partition so that Chronus can have his own room. The indignity of the wilds!

    Layout for Secure Shelter

    I might, I was thinking more an Underdark theme. Also, since Chronus Timekeeper is not very nature-oriented (city-slicker flaw), he'd be more likely to have clockwork flowers. I doubt the spell provides for that. ;) A dark elf has to sleep in comfort when he is out in the wilds, you...

    Layout for Secure Shelter

    I knew I'd blow it on the math. Ok, 16 squares is a lot better. What a nifty little spell. I'm gonna ask my GM to let me put a dark elven flavor to the architecture (no effect on spell other than looks and roleplaying).

    Layout for Secure Shelter

    Thanks. Wow. That is TINY. How do you get "eight bunks, a trestle table, eight stools, and a writing desk" into four squares? A hut for eight people with only four squares? That seems rather odd, no? Is that pysically possible? I thought it was one square per Medium person.

    Layout for Secure Shelter

    Is there an official layout for Leomonds Secure Shelter. It says it's 20 foot square structure. I'm bad with math; how many squares is that? it's only four squares, that's pretty tiny for all those bunks, tables and stools. Also, does the caster get to choose the style of the house and its...

    Is there an official LA+0 Drow?

    In my game, the GM allowed my drow to essentially be a LA +0 character. I took the daylight blindness penalty in exchange for +2 Intelligence. Not a bad trade off since I mostly wanted to roleplay a drow. Also, if you think expansively, there can me many types of drow with differing special...

    How would you make a fantasy Ironclad "go?"

    Or animate skeletons and put them to rowing the boat or like hamsters in the paddle wheel! ;)

    How would you make a fantasy Ironclad "go?"

    Here are some really simple ideas: You need Knowledge (engineering) to understand and develop steam technology. Use SIMPLE spells to facilitate the hardware. These my have to be researched: 1. A variant of the Mending spell: Rather than mend broken items it welds or seals them. This will...

    Key, Door, Portal-related Spells

    Woooot! I was just asking about that spell! To think I had it in one of my really old books! Thanks!

    Key, Door, Portal-related Spells

    Any one know of any other spells that fortify doors or other items (add to hardness, etc.)?

    How far can you see...or Where the @$&# did THAT shot come from?

    I don't think you need a specific rule to make this determination. It will depend on cover. In a flat open space with no fog or brush, of course the sniper will be easy to spot. Wearing green, hiding up in a tree, at great distance etc., will make the Spot check to find the sniper very high...

    Difference Between Use-Activated, Command Activated and Continuous Items

    Actually, come to think of it, it would also be cool to introduce arcane spell failure for command-activated items with a somatic component.

    Difference Between Use-Activated, Command Activated and Continuous Items

    Thanks again. I'm gonna see if my GM will let me do the command-activated component as a somatic, rather than verbal component. Before everyone has a heart attack and goes to their grave cursing my name and clutching the DMG, I realize that's not in the Rules as Written, but it will be for my...

    How far can you see...or Where the @$&# did THAT shot come from?

    One the worst convention games I ever played in involved the most of party being killed by an unseen archer. This was in AD&D days before the advent of the Spot skill, etc. The thing that pissed me of is that this smart @ss smikring "GM" wouldn't even tell us the direction the arrows were coming...

    Key, Door, Portal-related Spells

    My toon is working on a series of Wonderous Items that are door/portal related. I'm trying to get collect door/portal/lock-related spells. Here is my initial list: Knock (lvl 2, PHB) Arcane Lock (lvl 2, PHB) Detect Secret Doors (lvl 1, PHB) Open/Close (Cantrip, PHB) Silent Portal (cantrip...
