Except that spells with a range touch cannot be made persistant, which was further clarified in the errata of the FRC (or at least I think it was there, it might have been the Magic of Fearun errata). The spell descriptions of fox's cunning, owl's wisdom and eagles splendor are quite clear that...

To be honest, as of yet I have only seen certain parts of the Masters of the Wild due to living in Europe. It surprises me how much the opinion on this book differs between people. On the one hand I hear people describing it as a well-done balanced book, but on the other hand people are...

A truely devious dragon would go to some measures to keep his true colours hidden from the general public or to at least make sure the public is not sure about his colours. An intelligent dragon hunter would never trust on any information he gains, because he might actually get the information...

Extra turning is almost a prerequisite when you use those other turning options, especially when the cleric has got only an average charisma. One of my current PCs has got a charisma of 17 and he can use a turning attempt to gain his charisma bonus to damage. He can turn 6 times a day, and he...

Remember, the +2 bonus on save vs. poison is also a racial bonus. So dwarves do NOT have a +4 bonus vs. spells like poison.

Don't dragons have blindsight 150 ft or something? Considering their sense of smell, the dragon might also realize he is dealing with an undead. Further then that, I would also have the dragon prepare for the eventuallity of an other silence spell. On a side note: how arrogant and intelligent...

Giving out the DMG amount of gold for starting at higher levels is IMO a bad idea under most circumstances. Most of the time the body of the previous PC was accessible to the other PCs, so they tend to have the magical equipment of the old PC. Allowing the other PC some nice starting equipment...

Actually, an arcane trickster need to be at least a 4th lvl rogue. They have the requirement of decipher script 7, which is class exclusive for rogues and bards.

In my games I allow people to heal their level in hit points after 8 hours sleep. If they use a full day of rest, I allow the people with ranks in healing to try and double the amount of hit points healed by the PCs by making a heal check DC 15 (as per the healing skill rules). As of yet I have...

Why is a 1st lvl wizard in a 1st lvl party dead weight? Their BAB is only slightly worst then that of the warriors and the same as that of rogues and clerics. They can also fight with light crossbows. So except for their hit points they are just as bad in combat as for instance clerics (who face...

The way I handle buying magical items depends entirely on the campaign world. One campaign I was running in Birthright setting. There are few high level wizards and clerics in that world and even the biggest city in the area my PCs were in had about 4000 inhabitants. With some difficulties they...

::stares at the above remark for some time before deciding to react - realizing it probably was a joke, but having seen a similar remark seconds earlier on Monte Cook's message board cannot keep his mouth shut:: If you as a DM allow a PC that opted for the retreat action let do anything besides...

In my experience the problems with a cleric has got nothing to do with being the party medic. The problem has to do with serving a higher power and through that being somewhat limited in their freedom. Of course, this is nothing but an illusion since you should select the deity that fits your...

It is standard tactic in my group, though most of the time it reserved for the fighter to provoke an AOO so that the cleric can quitely cast a cure spell or a wounded fellow can run away and do something else. Of course, now and then they meet somebody with combat reflexes and get a nasty...

Simple, roll a d4 or d6 and devide the result by 2, rounded up. So a roll of d6 would be: 1-2 = 1, 3-4 = 2, and 5-6 = 3.

Your assumptions are wrong with this so called dungeon. It used to be a mine, not to mention that a large part of those dungeons were naturally formed. Since ore never follows a straight line, so will corridors not form a straight line. As for the moathouse, those curving corridors where...

As has been said, basically we are talking about two problems and one of those has got little to with a difference between DMing or playing. A DM should know the rules and if the DM does not know the rules he should not mind a player politely pointing out what the rules are. A much bigger...

::mumbles something about half-dragon trolls under protection from fire spells::

Remember that a fireball and any other instant fire spells will not lit most things (it is somewhere in the DMG). So it depends on what plants create the entangling effects. Trees will definitely survive a fireball, unless it is a REAL dry season and even then only the dry underbrush will catch...

As I said, I already realized the rules probably did not support my stance. Which IMO is rather strange, because it is actually a logical deduction from other rules. O well, I will remember it as a houserule then. Else curing will become way too easy.
