Re: both...well i did until the incident I am surprised people even want to play with you after you killed your players ;) The last couple of months are actually the first time I get a chance to play now and then. Before that time I was the only person who my fellow players wanted as a DM...

The NPC classes were designed with the idea that they are NOT on an equal footing with PCs when the adventuring bussiness is concerned. These classes are very good though in what they are made for. The high level commoner though is rediculous and I never use it. The adept is also a bit silly and...

On the long run luck is not a factor with dice. In that regard I firmly believe in the influence of observation. Somehow my players tend to complain that I roll so good as a DM. What they fail to realize is that I roll a lot more as a DM, so obviously I will roll criticals more often then them...

Well, when polymorph self is dispelled it is instantly removed. This would mean a nasty fall. When fly is dispelled, you are at least protected for 1d6 rounds with feather fall. Further then that fly is a 3rd lvl spell for a reason. Of course, in my campaigns I did reduce the duration of...

The other changes are due to becoming a half-dragon and gaining the benefits of that template. Unlike the template though, characters with this prestige class also increase their size. Without all the benefits of the growth in size, the class should gain better spellcasting abilities. After all...

Jump, climb, balance, ride and swim come to mind.

While I do not know if the sage made a ruling on the size part, Monte Cook did. On his message board he stated that the PC would gain all benefits and hindrances associeted with a size increase. So that would be an other +8 strength, +3 con, -2 dex, +3 natural AC and so on. I agree that the...

The use of persistent spell is more limited then the use of extend spell. The first can only be used on spells that have a range of personal. The second can be used on any spells with a longer duration then instanteous. This means that spells like bull's strength, mage armour, greater magic...

Events are the best way to form a name for a group of adventurers. Of course, when adventuring in a beaurocrat area you might be forced to find a name. Most of the time my players do not seem to bother with names though. The only one I can think of they used is: "Thor's Hammer". This refers to...

Then imagine how useful your party fighter would have been with those boost spells ;)

People worry about an 8th lvl spell that changes the BAB into that of a fighter and create a solid strength of 18 (due to enhancement bonusses) for 24 hours? By those leves an empowered Bull's strength is much more effective and the warrior classes are much more then their BAB.

Those who say that the Summon Monster string of spell suck, clearly never used that spell to their fullest potential. Besides combat, in which they can be very useful, if only to distract opponents, you can also use them outside of combat. My favourite use to let them set of traps and trigger...

Actually, gaze attacks are detailed in the MM, just not at the description of the monster. In the introductionary chapter many general monster abilities are described and things as turn resistance, gaze attacks and so on are treated with more details. Basically, everybody fighting the basilisk...

If you carefully read the quote you will notice that it talks about 'passing into/through an area' and 'opening an object'. I interpret this as it either can be placed on an area, in which case passing near the glyph sets it of, but it is NOT mobile. Or it can be cast on an object, in which case...

I don't have the elemental templates at hand, but if they give the same CR modification as the celestial/fiendish templates there should be no problem at all.

As far as I know the official rules state that you cannot move into a square occupied by an enemy and only through an area of an ally. So I would have treated the situation differently. When an ogre would be moving through an area occupied by the invisible PC, I would have asked for a reflex...

But why should they go for an area dispel? It is much more efficient to go for a target dispel. Since a targetted dispel has got the chance to dispel all spells on the PCs it becomes a lot more effective. Especially when you target clerics and the fighting types who somehow tend to use boosting...

I did not say that you could not compare the spell with the bardic ability because of the difference in preperation. I said you could not compare them and then gave one main difference between the two. On a side note, this spell is practically useless with that skill that is so good when you...

Remember the assist other option, this is especially useful when a large group of low CR creatures are facing the PCs. IME that option is forgotten very often both by DM and players. This can be especially dangerous with reach weapons. It just is a shame that goblins are too small to use reach...

Are Snow Owls white during summer time? Considering many animals that turn white during winter are not white during the summer, it would not surprise me if the same was the case with those owls.
