Unless Yusdrawl acquires a (True) Resurrection, Meepo'll never show up. Calcryx killed him, of course :( I should have killed a PC instead.

Skillpoint-wise and BAB-wise, its best to get the 4th level of rogue, because you'll need every skill point you can get. These 14 not-that-useful-skill ranks (Decipher Script, Escape Artist) are quite hard, at least for your rogueish abilities. BTW, why is Use Magic Device not on the AT's skill...

Would you mind suggesting me a good Prestige Class, suitable for Erky Timbers (CG male gnome Ftr5/Clr5)? He is currently involved in Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil. Erky would like to improve his spellcasting abilities. With him are Ciao (LN male elf Mnk10, unhitable melee machine), Kor...

You are right, because Bluff gives a synergy bonus to Disguise, when you know you're being observed and try to act in character.

As far as I understood the DMG, the following applies: - One character must have the appropriate item creation feat. This charakter can do nothing else while working. - This character is considered the creator. He sets the caster level of the item (within his boundaries). He pays the XP cost. -...

A 20th level Geomancer (e.g. Wiz7/Clr3/Geo10) casts arcane spells as a 17th-level wizard and divine spells as a 3rd-level cleric. He can convert all of his 1st- and 2nd-level spells, including arcane spells, to cure spells. While wearing full plate and shield. He adds his Int bonus to his saving...

Thank you all for the clarification.

I wondered again after reading Dragon #92 (superb!) what exactly is a Cambion. A Human/Half-Fiend? I meant Dungeon, of course.

But we allow touch sneak attacks with spells, for example Ray of Frost. The same rogue could use a wand, or have one level of sorcerer. There is a very fine line between a ranged touch attack to hit with a spell and a ranged touch attack to hit with a grenadelike weapon. The first one is a...

Any opinions?

I agree. In open terrain, when you can see all your allies/enemies, Firebrand is absolutely superior to Fireball, Cone of Cold or Chain Lightning. In typical dungeons, a wizard standing in front of a door, has not much use of Firebrand (Chain Lightning, too), because he has to have a line of...

A wizard in my campaign also wanted Firebrand (Wiz/Sor 5). At first, I said "Too powerful, up to level 6." After some thoughts, I compared the spell to Empowered Fireball. Level: 5 vs 5 Damage cap: 15d6 vs 15d6 Save: +2 DC for Firebrand Components: 50gp (Alchemists Fire) vs no cost Effect...

Yes. PHB, pg. 156, Preparing divine spells: "A divine spellcaster chooses and prepares spells ahead of time, just as a wizard does. ... A divine spellcaster does not have to prepare all his spells at once." Yes. PHB, pg. 148, Casting a spell: "You always have the option to fill a higher-level...

My interpretation is slightly different. As a standard ghaele, Shamira can prepare any spell in any number from the cleric list and from the Air, Animal, Chaos, Good and Plant domains. She could, for example prepare Chain Lightning (x2) and Greater Dispelling in her 6th-level spell slots. This...

Quote from the PHB, pg 73 "Search: You can find secret doors, simple traps, hidden compartments, amd other details not readily apparent. The Spot skill lets you notice something, such as a hiding rogue. The search skill lets a character discern some small detail or irregularity through active...

There are a few examples of adding spellcasting classes to spellcasting monsters. Wyrms of the North: Arauthator, Old White Death, old white Dragon Sor5 Zharunkumar, Rakshasa Sor7 In both cases, their spellcasting abilities stack. Arauthator casts spells as a 10th-level Sorcerer, Zharunkumar...

Concentration skill, PHB pg 65: DC ... 10 + spell level Vigorous motion (on a moving mount, bouncy wagon ride, small boat in rough water, belowdecks in a storm-tossed ship). 15 + spell level Violent motion...

There are some spells and psionic powers, which can duplicate other spells: Emulate Power (Psi [Clasen] 7), 300 XP Limited Wish (Sor/Wiz 7, Spell 7), 300 XP Greater Emulation (Psi [Clasen] 9), 5,000 XP Wish (Sor/Wiz 9), 5,000 XP Miracle (Clr 9), 0 XP Because the emulation of spells is very...

A Rog3/Brd7 makes a nice Arcane Trickster, too. BTW, why is Use Magic Device not on the Trickster's skill list?

IMO, no. First: A light doesn't end immediately. It fades away. Outside of the light radius is no darkness, thus no darkvision. Second: Your "darkvision radar" has 60' range, centered on you.
