    PEACH- My alternate combat system

    Could a mod please move this? I'd hate to see the Rules forum become a PEACH tree.

    A One-Handed Wizard in Combat Needs Your Help!

    [edit] D'oh- I should read all of the posts before I add a redundant one.

    Traps activating on view

    Apology accepted and thanks for editing the top post. Though the post title really says it all. :D Don't bother changing it- the damage is done. Next time, don't put in a spoiler warning, just don't mention the context of the question and it's all good.

    Traps activating on view

    spoilers My players hate you now, because since I'm currently running RttToEE and since I know one of my players reads this board avidly... Those traps just got more deadly IMC. Not sure how, but they did, because now I have to change them. Please, remove the context from your questions or...

    Cheapest way for casters to improve their AC

    Shieldbearer, from SC. Sor/Wiz1, 1r/lvl, enchants a shield to float near ally. Not the ideal duration, but it's the shield other spell you were asking for and can provide a larger shield bonus than shield.

    Paladin Questions/Advice?

    I just looked up Power Attack in the SRD and didn't see any mention of this- can you cite the rule?

    Need an explaination of Double Wand Wielder feat...

    Warlock If I were you, I'd make your dual-wander a warlock. With their item crafting ability and with their ability to take 10 on UMD checks, a very wide range of wands can be made and used. I've always wanted to make a sort of gunmage warlock using this feat- quickdraw & dww? Smile when you...

    What level should Magic Missile be?

    This reassures me a great deal Thanks to everyone for registering their opinions- especially to those keeping count of the option I should have but didn't include. I'm Mistwell's DM and have long felt MM to be overpowered and felt somewhat frustrated about the lack of novelty it introduced to...

    What level should Magic Missile be?

    Apologies If I knew how to add an option to an existing poll, I would. I honestly never considered that anyone would think MM not near the top of the 1st level tier. Looking at the results thusfar, though, I can see that I was quite wrong and that most people consider MM to be balanced with...

    What level should Magic Missile be?

    The recent thread on whether magic missile is overpowered made me curious as to how folks would rate the power of the spell. I'm in the 'overpowered for its level' camp and, while I don't think it's equal to a 4th level spell, I'd say it belongs somewhere in the 2nd level. Though, personally...

    Throwing Adamantine Mace at a Trapped Door

    The trap is set to go off if someone touches it. Throwing a weapon that's not intended for throwing only affects the attack roll, the damage remains unchanged. Would hurling an adamantine weapon at a trapped door be an effective way of passing the challenge, or did I, as the DM, overlook...

    Wizard using a Cleric-type wand?

    It might be preferable for the player, but often DMs put in charged items for balance reasons- especially if they're in doubt as to the RAW legality of the use to which it is put. If it becomes a problem, at least it'll be a temporary problem without resorting to heavy-handed DM fiats such as...

    Wizard using a Cleric-type wand?

    Umd Since a wizard doesn't have any cure spells on his list, he can't use a wand with a cure spell in it. However, you can use the Use Magic Device skill to do it:

    Magically Enhanced Natural Attacks?

    Hands as Weapons Not exactly core, but in Arcana Unearthed there is a feat called 'Hands as Weapons' that allows you to enchant hands with weapon enhancements. Maybe consider house-ruling it into your game and letting it apply to horns.

    Variant Turning Rule in CD and Greater Turning

    Then how about subtracting a target's turn resistance from the dice rolled when turning and allowing an evil cleric, by bolstering, to replace the undead's current turn resistance with the cleric's level? This would allow two opposing, equal level clerics to cancel each other out. I just don't...

    Variant Turning Rule in CD and Greater Turning

    I had thought that to be the replacement for rebuking, as the ability itself is reffered to Turning/Rebuking. Bolstering is what an evil cleric can do ahead of time to make the undead more resistant to turning. Perhaps healing ahead of time in the form of temporary hit points? Or a bonus to...

    Variant Turning Rule in CD and Greater Turning

    Bolstering Do any of you have rules for bolstering undead with this variant? I don't think they're defined in the book.

    Druids And items - WildShape

    Alter Self The SRD says Wildshape is based on Polymorph, which is based on Alter Self. From Alter Self: "When the change occurs, your equipment, if any, either remains worn or held by the new form (if it is capable of wearing or holding the item), or melds into the new form and becomes...
