Apparent, I double-clicked originally.

Catch: You don't have Line of Effect to the roots, unless they're exposed. Even if there are a bunch of roots running through the ceiling, unless they breach the dungeon ceiling, the ceiling itself blocks Line of Effect for the Spread, so they remain unaffected.

Oh, now that's interesting. Summon Elemental specifies that the elemental "acts as if summoned by a summon monster spell" - and it's also treated as a Summoning effect. So if you have Augment Summoning, Augment Elemental, and the Summon Elemental Reserve Feat, your Summoned Elementals get: +4...

As I recall, crusaders have to be any extreme alignment (LG, CG, LE, CE); Warblades and Swordsages need to be any Neutral (TN, LN, NG, CN, NE).

Battle Sorcerer, and buy Wands of the spells you want. Wands take no Somatic components, and thus aren't subject to spell failure. Works well for anything without a save.

Well, if you've got the Vow of Poverty, and you don't have your own spells of significance, you're in for a world of hurt. If the only problem is your mount getting Dismissed, what you do is convince someone to cast Dimensional Anchor on it once, and then have it take the Naturalized Denizen...

Ah, there's the mistake - you dealt. You needed to convince someone else to deal - because dealing, in "standard" poker with four people means drawing 20 cards and laying them out on the table... Why would I mess around with something that random?

Let's see... Due to the double-save, the Shadow line of spells is mostly useful when you can do one of: 1) Pump the DC to insane levels, so it doesn't matter that they get two saves 2) When you can use them in such a way that the save doesn't matter (anything where you're casting it on...

Considering that the older elementals get it?

I know of a few ways not yet mentioned: 1) The Wall of Iron spell a) Iron is a trade good, valued by weight (1 sp/pound), which means it's usable as cash. b) The Wall of Iron spell makes a very large amount of iron, all at once (you'll need to look up the density of iron, and do some math to...

They do one of two basic things: 1) A triangular prism, with the "small ends" pointed or rounded such that the die will never land on them if they're placed on a reasonably level surface in earth-normal gravity. 2) The sides are curved slightly rather than flat, and it comes to points on either...

There's a couple of problems with that... 1) Any creature without DR, Incorporeality, or a way to avoid detection can't deal with massed fire. Slings are simple weapons, and with regular rocks, they cost exactly nothing. How many Commoner-1's can you get shooting at the same target, do you...

There's almost no PrC of significance that is based on just caster level - almost everything asks for spell levels, instead, and Practiced Spellcaster does not affect those. Or to cut back on it, at least. Has possibilities. But one does not currently exist, so for that, you'd technically...

Nope. Prestige class requirements is the biggest reason - many of them are based on BAB. If you have a "practiced combatant" feat that increases your BAB by some amount to a maximum of your hit dice, then you can get full casters qualifying for full advancement gish PrC's much earlier.

Hit Dice are by type - so Animal hit dice, in the case of the Dire Wolf. You can get the specifics on what each hit die does Here, although do note that Dire animals have all good saves, unlike most animals.

A couple of things.... 1) If you incorporate it into the campaign more than once or twice with anything that has a reasonable potential to cause them to lose the castle, your players will get the impression that you hate player strongholds ("because you keep trying to take it away from them"...

Possibly play an Elan Lurk, and use that nifty Elan Resilience?

There's a feat to boost that by one category... but with the Beguiler's stealth skills, you probably won't want to go with medium armor anyway, just due to the ACP.

Beguiler or Rogue, then. Both are skillmonkeys. You've got a Paladin tank, two divine casters (who can likely also tank), a Wizard, and an uncertain class. A beguiler has the advantage of also being a social caster (enchantments - unlike your current Wizard), and having a lot of buff spells...

You're thinking in terms of simulationism, and not in terms of game balance. Most things in D&D scale by something ^ 2. What combat-capable critters can you purchase in Core? Gaurd Dog (25 gp) Riding Dog (150 gp) Light Warhorse (150 gp) Heavy Warhorse (400 gp) Do note that these all come...
