Does a ranger 2/druid X get to add half his ranger levels to his druid level when calculating his effective level for ananimal companion? Or does he have to wait until he's 4th-level ranger before his ranger levels kick in for this ability? Thanks in advance. Panask Servitar to Baldur

And the familiar gets the skill ranks and base save bonuses of its master (when the master's are better), so they'll be improving too. Panask Servitar to Baldur

Much thanks, one and all. Panask Servitar to Baldur

Can anybody point me to a collection or repository of alternative fighting-style chains for rangers? (That is, besides the archery style and the two-handed fighting style.) Somehow I feel sure there's a lot out there, both from WotC and elsewhere. Thanks in advance. Panask Servitar to Baldur

I am looking for character builds, feats, and PrCs that make good use of high ranks in Climb, Use Rope, or both. All suggestions welcome. Thanks! Panask Servitar of Baldur

If you're going to do that, it's probably easier to interpret Wisdom as usual, and say something like: For each level the Dementist suffers a -1 penalty to all Wis checks,Wis-based skill checks, and Will saves. Wisdom's effect on the ability to cast higher-level spells, bonus spells, and the...

My players' characters in Gärd (our standard D&D world) have, on two or three occasions, travelled to another world that looks like modern-day Earth with superheroes (a world I designed for a superhero campaign that I've yet to run). Generally they're trying to find some item or person who they...

Did they? He must have found a better job, then, because DC characters' abilities still differ depending on what comic they appear in, and DC's continuity is a mess. Panask Servitar to Baldur

This is what I've been trying out - still somewhat tentatively - IMC, for a less combat-oriented, more skill-oriented and social cleric: THE WAYPRIEST The waypriest class is identical to the cleric class except for the following: Hit Die: d6 BAB: As rogue Class Skills: As cleric, plus...

You know what's scary? Smart ettercaps. IMC some ettercaps have discovered an edible plant that raises their intelligence to average human levels, and are going around like Johnny Applespider introducing it to ettercap communities. They can be very dangerous. Panask Servitar of Baldur

IMC I had an alternative feat where a character, using a Dex-based weapon (ranged weapons, or weapons with Weapon Finesse applied) could shift Dex bonus points from "to hit" to damage. So, for example, a character with an 18 Dex could take up to a -4 penalty on his attack roll with a bow in...

Thank you, Scharlata, for your extremely detailed (and well-edited) response! And thanks to everyone else as well. Panask Servitar to Baldur

Is there a spell (in the PHB or elsewhere) that causes a weapon to be treated as magical, silver, cold iron, aligned, etc. (probably just one, chosen when the spell is cast) for the purposes of getting past a creature's damage reduction? I seem to remember it, but I can't find it. Thanks in...

That's something I never heard before. And it has interesting implications - for example, if the invisible opponent's ally is under the effect of a see invisible spell, then flanking would be restored. However, earlier somebody said, on this subject, that you can't flank a blind opponent...

Well, the Rules Folks tell me there is no official rule for this. So how about house rules? Is it possible for a character to simply ignore a specific opponent, so that the opponent's ally wouldn't flank? If so, what advantages would the ignored opponent have against the character, and what...

Is there an "official" rule for ignoring an opponent so that his ally doesn't get to flank you? What advantages would he ignored opponent have against you? My thanks, Panask Servitar of Baldur

Thanks for your comments. If the half-dryad's AC bonus seems too broad for a given campaign, you can either (a) drop it to +1, or (b) restrict it to plant creatures, as you suggested. I sort of like the idea that even inanimate plant material doesn't "want" to harm the half-dryad - it seemed...

Much thanks. There's some very interesting stuff there. Panask Servitar to Baldur

Does anyone know of a source for spells that are related to memory? Or do you happen to have a few of your own hanging around? I'm designing an organization that (mainly a bard's college) that makes use of memory-related magic, but the PHB gives mevery little to choose from. Thanks. Panask...

I did it slightly differently in my campaign. I have a feat that allows characters to learn spells, but after the first one they have to spend Skill Points to learn them. And both their casting level and the levels of the spell depend on how many ranks of the skill they have. For example...
