    Inherent Bonus to AC

    The only limit on the number of times it can be taken being that your BAB be less than 0. Though too much repitition of this feat will make a rather boring character. Definitely a fighter bonus feat. This could be changed to a dodge bonus if inherent makes it too strong. The only difference...

    Inherent Bonus to AC

    Thanks for your comment. I think that even if this feat is taken a few times it would at most bring AC to par with to-hit. The idea that we could make a reasonable character who was unhittable seems unlikely. Also, forgot to add to the feat that: inherent bonus to AC protects against touch...

    Inherent Bonus to AC

    Feat suggestion. Permanently sacrifice 1 point of BAB to gain a +2 Inherent bonus to AC. Special: This feat may be taken more than once. Thoughts? Too strong? Too weak? My reason for trying to write this is that I think that AC doesn't scale nearly as easily as offense as the game...

    Nondetection / True Seeing /

    And I would suggest that the Obscure Object spell exactly supports my point. When the authors wanted us to know that there was a more specific limit than simply "divination" they told us what it was by adding the parenthetical "(scrying)" to their discription. Lacking similar limitor...

    Nondetection / True Seeing /

    The Sage has been consulted, and his response was: for those who value such things.

    Nondetection / True Seeing /

    So your interpretation is the the authors wanted us to imagine a common theme/limitation using only the three listed items (which in your estimation are different enough from all other divination spells so that we can see the commonality) and then just didn't bother to mention explicitly what...

    Are Poison Dusk Lizardfolk too powerful for only LA+1?

    I agree. Most of the LAs are too high. Comparing what you get for an LA to what you get for a class level makes me think--stay core, every time. Or they should standardize and make official one of the alternate buy-off/fall-off systems so that at higher levels (where the LA really starts to...

    D&D 3.x 3.5 Druids - what to do about them?

    i don't believe that this is accurate. ROUND 1: move: fly standard: begin casting Call Lightning (or SNA) ROUND 2: standard: compete casting Call Lightning (or SNA) move: fly

    Anyone want to help adjudicate a Wish spell?

    I think DMs often look at wishes as an excuse to show how they can twist the english language, even when laywered up, to mean something different from what is obviously intended. I personally find this neither clever nor interesting (usually). My own opinion on this particular wish is that it...

    Nondetection / True Seeing /

    I believe that if the Non-detection spell intended the "such as" list to be representative of a certain type of divination spell (as opposed to simply being a quick list of common divinations) then Non-detection would have given us more guidance as to what the sub-set of divination was meant to...

    How terrible is the multiclass XP penalty?

    die again In the long run it is probably better to die again soon and lose your remaining fighter level (if your DM will let you choose which class to lose that is). Reincarnate: the only bring them back from the dead spell that will make your friends hate you.

    Horrid Wilting

    You're evading the point of the posted (invented) Vacuum creature. If you don't like the Elemental type, change it to Aberration. Now there's a "living creature" (aberrations are living as far as I can tell) which explicitly has no moisture in it. Is it effected or not? The point of this, in...

    Horrid Wilting

    To those who believe that the Fire Elemental should be affected, would this creature be affected as well? Vacuum Medium Elemental Hit Dice: 4d8 (26 hp) Initiative: +5 Speed: Fly 60 ft (perfect) Armor Class: 15 Base Attack/Grapple: +3/+7 Attack: Slam +8 melee Full Attack: +8 melee Space/Reach...

    Deadly, Undetectable Traps

    I generally try NOT to think about the details of how traps work too much. I think it ends up in the same very messy territory as evaluating how magic works. There is a game mechanic in place which allows rogue's to detect (magical) traps. It is difficult for us (or at least me) to imagine...

    Horrid Wilting

    My opinion is no damage to the fire elemental. I do see the point of the target=living creature=fire elemental logic chain, but I personally believe the "moisture" text to be more than just "flavor" but an actual part of the spell. This is supported by the explicit mention of plant and water...

    Mirror Image and Combat Reflexes

    Viewed from above a 5ft square appears as a surface area of 25 sq ft. An average person might be 2ft x 1.5ft, or 3 sq ft. Up to 7 Mirror Images could appear in the same square before any overlap had to occur. It always seemed, to me, that placing the images in different squares created problems.

    Gaseous Form/Alternate Form/Vampire Question

    I think it has been "decided" on these boards previously that Dominate does not end because it is an effect on the victim, but that the Vampire cannot exercise control while in Gaseous Form. I think that the consensus previously was that Su effects are simply suppressed, as in an anti-magic...

    Gaseous Form/Alternate Form/Vampire Question

    Gaseous Form: "The subject loses supernatural abilities while in gaseous form." If I, as a vampire, choose to take Gaseous Form while I am using my Alternate Form (Su) ability, let's say I'm a wolf, do I revert to my normal humanoid form while I am Gaseous? Or I am just a Gaseous Wolf?

    Overland movement (my players stay out)

    We have always played that you can take two move actions of 60ft each when under the effect of a Fly spell, granting 120ft movement if that's all one does in a round. Is this not allowed by the RAW?
