"...a Huge Number of scrolls and casting them ad nauseum during combat?" How many rounds does your combat last? Aside from the time, money and experience noted above, It also requres combat time and extreme luck if a save is requred. If you are crafting scrolls, you can probably cast spells...

I would think that unless you are using the (PHII?) variant facing or some house rule, this wouldn't apply. Even if you are, it still wouldn't as it doesn't overrule the explicit limitation of only being able to focus three eyes in any given direction no matter what your facing is. At best...

Unless there is some source that says otherwise, you do gain bonus spells and acess to the higher level spells. The spell, fox cunning, doesn't last long enough for the I recall reading that the 3.0 epic level handbook assumed you were using magic items to get those feats that requried 25 str...

My vote is for idiot player(s). You don't need remove disease, just make two checks in a row. *Hint, use the heal skill*, you mentioned the cleric had it aside from outrageous point buy and being gestalt. One half is mage (wizard?) what's your other half? Heal is a class skill for just about...

Sweet! Standard action and all exept the weapon you grab fall to the ground (if more than one stored that way). Or strength check to just pull one weapon free. Better yet, Magnetic armor on your sword-bearer. or Magnetic ability on a shield?

Hmm, I like this idea. It could be a haunted mansion with trap door slides into the basement, (silence spell and obscuring mist so other partymembers don't know where the other group went). You could also have a long hall full of doors that have portals to other doors, so you have a zany...

All of the arguments why clerics are overpowered sound really good on paper (pixels), but I haven't seen them as overpowering in campaigns. The Divine Favor/Righeous Might/Divine Power combo can add up some nice bonuses... if you have time to cast them all... if you only need to do it once or...

Fortunatly, Core Mechanics prevent this from happening. You occupy a 5x5 square, the AMF effects that square or not. To stick your hand out, you need to move into the next square in which you are no longer in the AMF. Now, if you favor more 'logic' applied to your D&D magic. :\ then the AMF...

The thing I find funny in thread after thread of 'Clerics of the Coast' comments. It's still the last class chosen, the last person to declare thier class grumbles, 'well I guess I'll play the cleric so our party is balanced'. Aside from a one shot campaign where the BBEG was declared to be a...

Well, "not find anything more", was just not find anything fore out of the SpC. There will be 'magic shops' but they won't be fully stocked with every SRD spell for adventurers with cash. They won't have any (let alone all) of the sor/wiz spells out of Complete Divine, Book of Exalted Deeds...

Well, that's part of the reasoning behind naming one additional book, instead of everything goes. The problem is partly that there IS a spell compendium, combined with the learned spell rules for Clerics VS Wizards. It seems to be an issue with RAW spells learned that is magnified by the...

So I'm DM'ing a new campaign and to keep things simple, I'm keeping it core rules (PhB, DMG prestige classes) Plus one acessory book. Complete whatever for feat and prestige class selection. Not only for keeping it simple, I thought it would provide something special that your character can...

Has anyone used the companion spirit (DMGII p195)? If so, which one? I was starting a game, and we thought we were going to be short a cleric. So as the DM, I was going to offer a salve companion spirit in lieu of the Wizard's familiar. Then, I thought a good defense like Rampart, Shadow or...

It would be the same as casting cure light wounds and holding the charge. The duration is instantaneous, yet you can hold the charge indefinitely or until you discharge it or cast another spell which dismisses held charges. Since it's not a single charge but 1/level then the charges remain...

The orb spells have saves, but only against the secondary effects. What other exceptions are there, do they involve partail saves for secondary effects?

Edit: After reading Ferrix's post his guidlines seem to be more reliable than mine. They seem to be consistent that extra damage is additional dice/variable damage. Anything that adds an unnamed or enhancement bonus of a fixed amount is carried over and is included in critical hit...

I wouls second that. My suggestion would be for the slotless effect of the: Even at slotless the value is 18,000. And will continue to be usefull for the resistance to noxious clouds. You might want to do something for movement, a LOW 10' or 15' swim speed, or just let them manage that...

I was curious if people had used the grasping hand spells, and how satisfied they were. I was looking into taking them for a spellcaster I am playing but ruled them out becaused they seemed weak. With all the complaints about Grapple not scaling, the (Bigby's) grasping hand spells don't...

I believe as it is worded, cast in a 5' wide by 50' long hallway it would create a 5' diameter circle. That's using the geometry definition of diametric. I suspect the designers intended for it to be able to fill up to a 40' (is that the diameter?) wide room, or 40' of a 5' wide hallway. Even...

Agreed, If you can see the images, you can't use listen to identify the caster. If you can't see the images the spell imposes no penalties. It is magic so it doesn't have to be a logical division on do they make sound or not. It's a moot point with the common house ruling (suggested by FAQ)...
