    New servers + ICS = no connection?

    Alas! The servers have moved and the problem persists. I really think it's got something to do with Internet Connection Sharing- I've got the same problem with other sites and have been unable to find a solution out there anywhere. Any techs out there heard of this problem with ICS before...

    Aberration Attack Bonuses

    In the advancement section of the MM, it states that an aberration's attack bonus = 3/4 it's total HD. And yet, scanning through, all the aberrations I've checked have one less. A 6HD aberration should have an attack bonus of 4.25, rounded to four, but I'm seeing bonuses of 3. Same for other...

    New servers + ICS = no connection?

    I've had trouble with Internet Connection Sharing under XP interfering with certain sites on the computers that share from the one that's sharing. Never had that problem with EN until after it resurfaced from the downtime. Any idea what might be causing this and how it might be resolved? If...

    Dragon Breath Recharge Question

    If "Wait" were a defined action, then I'd be more inclined to agree that "must wait 1 round" meant that no breath action could be taken- or any other action, really- while the dragon was "waiting". I'm with those who think a roll of 1 means consecutive breath attacks. Simply saying "simple...

    Wall of Ice as an Ice Raft/Floatation Device ???

    Of course, that's not to say that the giants might not catch up to them downriver and capture them anyway. :D

    Spiritual Weapon vs. The Ethereal

    That's sorta what I reckoned, insofar as the redirection goes. If the weapon can continue to detect a target even if the target goes invisible or ethereal, though, that makes Spiritual Weapon quite useful in helping to target such foes. You might not be able to see them, but you can sure...

    Spiritual Weapon vs. The Ethereal

    Tonight we had a sneaky ol' phase spider pop in, sink its teeth into a member of the party, then pop back into the ethereal plane. The party cleric readied Spiritual Weapon for the next time it appeared. Here's the question: after the phase spider jaunts back into the ethereal plane, the...

    Pricing a Magic Item

    I would point out, though he already made mention of it, that an item usable five times a day costs as much as one usable all day long. According to the guidelines, that is. The only time it would make sense to me to limit an item to 5/day would be for balance reasons- that it'd be too...

    Precise Sneak Attacks into a Grapple

    Saw this issue come up in another thread which inspired me to devise a new house rule. As it stands, a grappled opponent loses his Dex bonus to AC, thus rendering him succeptible to sneak attacks. Thing is, if a sneak attacker fires into the grapple, they've got an equal chance of hitting a...

    Opponent grappled, using a bow, and sneak attack…

    <HOUSE RULE TERRITORY> I'd consider rule-0'ing Precise Shot to remove the % chance of hitting the wrong grappler. Off the top of my head it seems reasonable... </HOUSE RULE TERRITORY>

    Can I meet the requirements for a PrC on the level I take it?

    Nope The first thing that happens when you level is choosing the class. If you don't qualify, then you can't proceed in levelling.

    Wizard's new spells each level

    Re: Re: Wizard's new spells each level Thanks, mate. I didn't think there were, either, but don't have the elephantine memory that some denizens of this board are purported to have. Scribing costs are probably my biggest pet peeve, too- partly due to the fact that the first PC I played in 3E...

    Wizard's new spells each level

    So.... I take it this means there are no established variant rules for allowing a wizard more flexibility in choosing his spells when he takes another level in wizard? Sorry. Couldn't help it. This is not a real post- you just failed your Will save, is all.

    Wizard's new spells each level

    :confused: Well, I'll be. It doesn't. I don't know where I got that idea from, but I've always thought it said that. Oh well. So much for compromise. This'll teach me not to get involved- even when I started the thread. Granted, it's been somewhat hijacked into Boccob's Blasted Battle. I...

    Wizard's new spells each level

    Hate to come between the two of you, but doesn't the compromise of only having to pay the cost of scribing one page per spell sort of suit both camps? By the letter of the rules, you're paying scribing costs- and the Book explicitly states that it can take a spell on a single page. Scribing...

    Is there a Magic Amulet that gives off light in the DMG?

    Now we know why Stitch is so ill-tempered!

    Wizard's new spells each level

    I think that feat is more meant for sorcerers than for wizards. This could be interpreted as either the item being too powerful or the scribing costs being too nerfy. Personally, I've always considered the scribing costs for wizards to be far too expensive and the issue has been beat to...

    Wizard's new spells each level

    I see your point. The value of the spells (what it would cost to scribe them) would be the same, but it would afford a greater amount of fliexibility when wizards are flexible enough as it is...

    Wizard's new spells each level

    Are there any arcane rules (FR or somesuch) that allow a wizard to, instead of getting two spells of whatever level they like when they level, get a number of spell levels equal to two times the highest level they know? I know this would be easy enough to house rule, but wondered if it'd been...
