    Need help: elf sorcerer 1

    Forgive me for de-railing. You said Kid sister? She last played back in '84. So unless she was born on Feb 29, she would have aged 21 years, and would have to been near 8 years old to have played. So you call your sister in her late 20's your kid sister, or did I miss something? Aside from...

    Evil Weapon Qualities

    You are on your own on that one. By RAW if it doesn't have the [Evil] descriptor it's not evil. The same with poision, by core rules it's not evil 'but probably illegal'. The spell and magic item enhancement don't have [Chaotic] or [Evil] descriptors though. The BoVD does state that they...

    Advice for Transmuter/Cleric

    http://www.enworld.org/archive/index.php/f-3.html is a good way to skan through old boards quickly, but I don't think you will find much of use there. Most of the suggestions involve outsiders, which is only valid if you are already an outsider. The rest involve huge creatures (mostly the...

    What's a critical hit with a net do?

    Double the damage! Heck, I'm feeling generous, make it x4. :p p.s. way to spoil the fun with a serious answer Hyp.

    Can a spell with no components and no saving throw be detected?

    I had the same question in a discussion about touch spells. Does the held charge of Cure light or Heal glow a golded or bluish white light, does harm and vampiric touch make a shadowy aura around the hand, and poision green? Delivering a touch spell doesn't draw an attack of opportunity...

    Lazy DMs doing stupid things

    That was my first thought. My second was you have a 14th level character that can turn etherial an unlimited number of times a day? It sounds like you are taking advantage of a new dm. I'm not suprised someone who has been playing for one year would know how over the top crazy that is. I...

    Is this an Attack of Opportunity?

    I agree with you, It is fuzzy, but I lean towards it drawing an AoO. I disagree that reaching into an occupied square doesn't draw an AoO. There are more cases where doing so does draw an AoO, like grappling, tripping, disarming. I suspect that a touch spell does not draw an AoO because the...

    epic feats question

    I think the FAQ states that magic items will allow you to qualify for feat reqirements. The question was about the epic level feats that required 25 ablility scores in 2 or 3 different stats. These feats would otherwise be unavailable until after 40th level. Just remember that losing the...

    Costs for hiring npc as advenutres

    to complile the prices given in this thread for a 1st level classed character (Sharn .4gp, Arms and Equipment 2gp, 1st edition 3.5gp). I would vary the cost depending on setting and situation. Not to complicate things, but I would also not use 'x level'. Character wealth is not linear, and...

    Purified Explosive Fireball

    Well the transmute spell the target is the mud not the character, so it only affects evil (I think it would affect neutral also) rock. Once the rock is turned to mud it's free to smother anyone it likes. Purified meteor swarm would do no damage... against logic. Spells with secondary effects...

    Purified Explosive Fireball

    Good point, they are supposed to be handled separatly each applied to the base spell. If I recall, a purified spell not only does no damage to good creatures, it does a higher die damage to evil creatures. So neutral would take 10d6, evil would take 10d8. So the purified empowered fireball...

    Is this an Attack of Opportunity?

    They do, but it also says that attacking with a touch attack spell does not provoke an AoO. They feel that you can avoid the AoO from touching friends, by calling them enemies and making an offensive touch attack that does not draw an AoO. IF that's how you rule it... Do melee attacks into...

    Empowered Mirror Image

    So you are implying that a metamagic that adds 1d6 (sanctify spell maybe) or even doubles the d6 (energy admixture) max out at 10d6 when applied to a fireball? They don't explicitly modify the 10d6 max. I'll stick with the metamagic being applied to the base spell, the base spell has the...

    Need help figuring out the ring creation rules

    Yes and probably moreso. I'd suggest a good 25% price increase for usefulness. As mentioned, even the title of the table is Estimating Magic Item Gold Piece Values.

    Need help figuring out the ring creation rules

    Looks like you have the formula right. If I were creating the ring of invisibility for the first time, I would even put in a cost adjustment because it's so usefull, likely to be used several times per day, every day. I would guess the spell duration went from 10 min to 1 min per level from 3...

    Cursespewing Weapon ability is badly broken... fix ?

    The problem I have with it is that it's about the same as a spell storing sword (depending on interpretation on what the DC of the stored spell is deterimined) with the HUGE advantage that it's usable every hit, instead of once, until recharged. Sure the spell storing weapon has more...

    Using Wish to increase effective caster level

    In my opinion the safest bet with wish is to duplicate spells. First shot is if there is or even could be a spell that would so something similar. If you are looking for a permanant boost, you are out of luck there. The second choice is to see what magic items are available, or could be...

    Time Stop + Delayed Blast Fireball - Timing?

    Sorry to be picky, but I believe the word you were looking for is integer, a whole number. Whereas integral, would mean sum of all concievable numbers between 0 and 5, or the area of your equation between 0 and 5. It's early so I'm not sure if it's the same if you use a step funtion to define...

    Looking for alternatives to divine healing

    There are two kinds of clerics. Those that worship dieties, and chose domains that are granted by the diety. Then there are the clerics that follow an ethos. So in a world without dieties there isn't a reason to not have clerics. Given that 75% of DM's don't like the idea of dietyless...

    Automatic Quicken Spell and metamagic

    SRD still shows Automatic Quicken as 0-3. I also looked through Complete Arcane and the Errata files. Where has it been updated?
