    Gnomes and Item Creation

    Doesn't that have a prereq of Int < 6? :D

    Firing into Melee

    Your confusion might have something to do with that arcane ruling about the equal chance of hitting any given grappler when firing into a grapple. Only place that rule is mentioned is in one of the tables...

    Cool Spell Combo's

    Grease + Forcewave (MoF) Nice because they're both 1st level- certainly not a smackdown, but they do go well together...

    Identify... this!

    Goggles of Object Loresight So, those of you who have S&SoP, how much would you price Goggles of Object Loresight? Essentially allowing free casting of that first level spell all day long? It is a first level spell, but an unlimited item that casts it has to cost more than 2kgp...

    Magic Clothes

    Nice use of obdurate! Have to add this one to my from-the-hip vocab!

    Off the wall combat- on the wall

    So I'm curious- how do you all adjudicate combat for those under the influence of spiderclimb?

    ... of striding, springing, speed and spider climb!

    Re: another thought It wouldn't be quite a smple addition, because there wouldn't be the need to change horseshoes when you wanted to shift from fast-on-the-floor to slow-up-the-wall. I'd price it a bit above a simple addition, but not as much as if they were unrelated powers you could use...

    Flying Donkey ?

    I'd consider making it a Saddle of Flying, since the Wings cause actual wings to sprout, and if you're basing it on that item, you might want to stick as close to it as possible. I think the Wings are cheaper due to the fact that you have to have some room to fly in and it's not just an...

    Dragons' Initiative

    I looked. I looked again. I checked the errata of the MM. WHERE is the initiative bonus of a dragon listed in the MM? I'm quite prepared to say "Oh, gosh, am I dumb! How could I have missed it?"

    Does being invis stop AoO?

    And yet the attacker must choose to take the AoO. As has been mentioned, there's only one allowed per round and if the attacker didn't have the choice of letting an AoO slip by, you could force him to waste it on the first chance to come by. It's an action the ATTACKER makes based on their...

    Wizards Stealing Weapons

    How about stealing a weapon from range? Greater Mage Hand, anyone?

    Need rule on ranged attacks against mounted opponents

    The rule you're looking for is one of the most poorly placed in the PH. Page 132, Table 8-8: Attack Roll Modifiers. Ranged attacks against a grappling defender require one to roll randomly to see which one you hit. As far as I know, that's the only place it's mentioned...

    1st level wizard design

    My wizard started out specializing, but didn't end up using the extra spells (illusiong) and I eventually asked my DM if I could go back to generalist. You'll find yourself missing the spells you've made prohibited. If you miss those extra spells, pick up some Pearls of Power later on and...

    Minimum time between prepping spells

    Twice now while being sarcastic and rude, you've said you didn't mean to be that way. If even your own perceptions indicate your words might be interpreted in a less-than-kind manner, perhaps they are worth a second glance before hitting Submit. What does a day mean to me? Well, if my...

    Minimum time between prepping spells

    I have my doubts for all the reasons Saeviomagy mentioned and the fact that no explicit mention is made of the daily requirement in game rule terms. They go into quite a bit of detail about rest needed- not sleep, just rest, doesn't matter if you're bored- and about the recent casting limit...

    2 new spells vs Max Spell Level * 2 in spell levels

    Tried to express it succinctly in the subject, but has anyone tried a house rule allowing an arcane caster to, when receiving new spells upon gaining a level, instead of taking, say, two new 4th level spells, takes a 4th and a 3rd and a 1st? Or four 2nd's? Get my drift? Now, since a fourth...

    Ring of Mystery magic item help

    Start near, then adjust I'd start with a ring of invisibility and head up from there, and fast. Look at the DC's to spot invisible creatures and compare them with yours. Since you're not fading from sight, it's mind affecting- you're making them not notice you. So there are certain types...

    Best choices for a 9HD Polymorph Other

    quicklings Still too low. Maybe I shouldn't get hung up on being large... The quickling is rather nice- no natural armor, but +9 for size & dex. Unmagical speeds tops out at 60', but still- that's 60'. I used to think you got the feats of the form and was looking forward to spring attack...

    Minimum time between prepping spells

    I thought of that, too, but upon delving deeper into the preparation sections of the PH, I discovered this on p154: "If the character does not need to sleep for some reason, she still must have 8 hours of restful calm before preparing any spells." It then goes on to talk about elves and their...
