And items for the spell brilliant blade (confirs the brilliant energy ability for about 9 rounds) from spell compendium I believe.

COC aside, you can't choose to act like you are in melee any more than you can choose to act like your target is not in melee. I don't see anything dumb about it.

I agree with UltimaGabe. The -4 for firing into melee isn't because of not wanting to hit allies, it's because the person involved with melee will be reacting irregularly because of said melee. No, I don't think this is right. In this case if both the goblin and orc are in melee (with each...

We usually ignore the standard action by leaving the power active all the time. 1) it doesn't harm the wielder (or presumably, the equipment held by the wielder) 2) it only does damage on a hit (which there is no 'hit' setting in a quiver). Either that or we never thought to ask. Come to...

I agree the spontanious metamagic takes a full round + arcane channeling = ????DM's choice. I wouldn't allow it even assuming you get around the hands free issue. I would say that the arcane channeling doesn't require a free hand (since they get large shield prof), but doesn't matter so far...

Plenty of replies here: Tome of Battle: Book of 9 Swords - Things to watch out for? (aforementioned thread from two days ago)

I was mistakenly referencing move equivalent actions that can be stacked with actual movement. Only drawing a weapon and equipping a shield have the superscript indicating such stacking. The improved feint (not on the table) and other actions on the table like opening a door are a move action...

It looks to me that Spring attack is a standard action that allows you to make an attack action. It is independent of the move action that must occur before and after this standard action. In this case, it looks like you can move and take a move equivilant action (improved feint or draw a...

I work on the low end, assuming that they achieve the 9th level wealth the day they level up to 10th. Of course I don't track precicely or micromanage wealth distribution, but that's what I shoot for. I think most use the suggested wealth by level tables as that's the starting gold when...

Runestaffs are one MIC option to broaden spell access. On top of that with high Charisma and Intelligence, you don't have to be the character who is better of if he keeps his mouth shut in role play encounters. Depending on cleric and rogue's focus, you might even be the front man. I consider...

I like the warmage, if you have good stats, The intelligence bonus to damage (and feat that advances it) are really nice and make it worth sticking with the warmage over prestige classes. The other reason I like it is there isn't any optimization required. I like taking the sudden metamagics...

It seems you have it. 3.5 Permanancy lost some oomph, exp comes more constantly (2e gamesI recall really slowed down around level 8 to level 12) 3.5 you keep on trucking. This does make the exp donation relatively smaller but characters are loathe to do that when you can buy/make an item that...

Pelor's Light! Animate Dead at will, Create Undead 5/day? I'm afraid I don't know where to begin. I assume you need to provide the material components for these spells? If not, I'd assume the most expensive version capable from 15th level caster. So a 60HD undead from animate dead (in...

I don't think there is a 'good' dragon shamon combo. I also tossed around the idea of dragon shamon 3, bard 2. I think you have about 2 first level spells known.... Make them swift something and truestrike?

I think this reply points out that it's not explicit. It would be up to your DM. Technically it doesn't say it does open up all fighter only feats, so I don't think it does. Whether it's reasonable or if I'd allow it is another.

Fortunatly there isn't an infinite range of sizes, small is a halfling, tiny is a cat, diminutive is anything smaller than a cat. For objects the terms apply to smaller items (ie, longsword is a medium object, shortsword small, dagger tiny, smaller than dagger diminutive). I see a problem with...

I think that was Plane Sailing's point. (except he mentioned before you move into a threatened square where he should have said Out of). I would also not have a problem with someone deciding late in their move that they will use a feat. It wouldn't undo AoO's though.

The special part of the Snatch/Deflect Arrows feats are they let you catch (and return) them without readying an action (though you do need free hands). Go right ahead and use the same mechanic on other flying things, that's what the feat is for (daggers, frying pans etc...). Without a feat...

The down side is the Dragon Disciple gets second-tier BAB progression. So Duskblade would be good for the DD, but DD isn't particular a good addition to the Duskblade. Come to think of it DD isn't a good addition to just about anything before level 20. All that said, I am currently considering...

I agree with The Man, we are over-thinking it (at least for the rules forum). Fireball doesn't need an attack roll on normal circumstances, and this isn't an exception. To a lesser extent I agree with intentionally stopping the fireball. He needs some way of acting out of initiative (readied...
