I'd say +1 spell level for purposes of not radiating magic...That would only apply to basic magic sensing abilities. Analyze dweomer, arcane sight and other higher level divinations should still work. This would be a good trick to keep illusions from being detected in cities etc...who walks...

If you award xp for the PCs defeating foes (not necessarily killing them), then they should get XP twice. He knows what to expect, and he will probably have a slight upper hand the next time around...ie he knows to send his minions after the mage, or to ignore the guy who took too many...

He didn't seem monkly at all to me....Did he ever hit anyone with his fists? I thought he always stabbed or shot things? I'd have to say he was a swordsage with a focus on diamond mind and shadowblade maneuvers. Good agility and lightly armored. Good at using his knives with deadly...

I don't think the Bo9S shadowblade ability should be counted as a possible 'strength' of a dex-monk That sole feat makes a 1-level dip into swordsage a no-brainer for any dex-based character you'd play. And also, any strength based monk could also benefit greatly from the very same feat....if...

Gygax! Ahhhhh! -runs screaming in terror!-

If my DMs told he 'hey this is a plot device, I need you to all go along with it' then I would do exactly that, and I'd do my best to come up with creative ways to escape, because I'd know there was a way to escape. If my DM says throws some impossible to resist sleep effect, or 10,000 guards...

Was this post supposed to be funny? Or were you just trying to illustrate the horrible graphics they've shown sofar? Or were you just trying to be snarky? Regardless, you need to get your terminology straight. A transvestite is not the same thing as someone who is transgendered. Most of the...

It's true that prisons have the ability to control/deny certain rights, in order to facilitate punishment/deterrance. However they have rules in place to control what/when/where they can excercise such options. They can't just decide to put someone in solitary because they feel like it, for...

We did the against the giants conversion to....but we started at 16th level, lol. Given what I remember, I can't imagine level 7 PCs making it very far in. We used the giants track as sort of a warm up for the actual campaign we were playing. I joined the game after 3 years of real time...

Our group: cleric6 (me, specialized in healing for huge amounts) scout5/thieffacrobat 1 ranged damage, and lots of it Wizard2/priest2/something else 2....he is our um...knowlege guy Knight6 the heavy hitter/tank bard4/warblade2 support melee with white raven maneuvers. We're only in chapter 4...

I can see banning dice because of gambling concerns....but then again, I was pretty sure most long-term inmates have access to sports on Television, and to decks of playing cards. So there are already plenty of ways to gamble in prisons. I would also bet money that(tee-hee) the habitual...

With the PhB2 feats like 2-weapon rend and bounding assault chain, I would think you could play a strong fighter/dervish/tempest. 4 levels of fighter for the bonus feats + access to melee weapon mastery, then max out dervish then go for 5 levels of tempest. It's pretty feat starved, but I...

Now I am wondering how sweeping strikes would interact with the Pharoah's Fist feat, and Pain touch. I can see it now...the Huge sized Psi-warrior with improved trip, a trip polearm, pole master, stunning master, pain touch, pharoahs fist, and sweeping strikes. Not sure if pain touch works on...

"Uh, Expanded Psionics Handbook isn't core. So wouldn't that have to be your 1 other book?" I am thinking that the DM was including the XPH as a 'core' choice. Now I'll have to ask him, because I'm not sure. I thought since eberron has naturally psionic races that the psionics book was also...

So I have been reading various monk optimization boards, and decided to put together a psionic monk. Or at least something that resembles one :) I have a few questions though for the more mathematically apt. I'm thinking the best build would monk/Psionic warrior, possibly with warmind levels...

Forgotten realms had items called Third Eyes that took up the head slot...One of them gave +10 circumstance bonus to concentration checks. It was printed in both 3.0 and 3.5 with an updated(more expensive) price. But I do not recall which books they were in. The basic item creation guidelines...

You are confusing an item's prerequisites with an items functions. A magic item only uses the spell-based costs if they actually generate the spells as part of their use. And even this only comes into play after you do the 'compare with similar items' method. An item that casts shield at...

I won't go to gleemax sites because of their rediculously abusive user agreement. Sorry, but I look at the possible worst case scenarios involved with that agreement and tend to believe that given enough time, and enough use eventually a worst case scenario will come to pass. I Won't do...

If the PCs know they will be facing a dragon and have time to prepare, they will fare well, and probably win. If they encounter a dragon with no warning, and no pre-buffing, they wiill most likely all be killed. This is going with CR equivalent encounters. Something was probably off with...

No one can convince me that torturing someone who is helpless and at your mercy could ever ever be construed to be anything other than heinously evil. If the king says it's legal, then he is an evil king. To me this applies to any sentient creature, not just to humans. Even in a game where...
