IMO the missing kama debunks any attempt to stop the PCs from casting detect magic, or searching the coffin furthur. Or the rest of the room thouroughly for that matter. Regardless of whether or not they failed their saves against the illusion. I would honestly expect ANY party to thouroughly...

From my perspective that's pretty darn optimized. In our Age of Wyrms campaign each character is only allowed to use Core + Ebberon CS + a single other sourcebook of our choice. We have neither a mage nor a priest, and 3 of our players prefer to do whatever they feel like tactics be damned...

Wraithstrike...nobody in any of my gaming groups has ever even asked the DM if they could find/learn it. Mutual non-nuclear proliferation pact I think. Kinda like how nobody has ever taken Black tentacles and the DM never used it again after a module where 1 casting of it almost caused a TPK...

If the giant threatens the person with the fire shield, then both him and the PC ARE in melee. You are not required to be able to reach your opponent to be in melee with them. For instance, if you are stunned and do not threaten, you are still in melee. So ranged attacks still suffer -4 to...

Evards menacing tentacles is extremely broken. 2 extra attacks with reach as FREE actions every round. That means you can use them as part of a charge or AoO. Our GM let a druid in our group take the spell, and he got to cast it about 3 times before it was taken away.

They are correct...there is no line of effect to anyone outside the sphere.

We're currently playing through the 3.5e Age of Wyrms campaign...We have access to all the Do-over spells and our characters are extremely powerful for their levels. We use a varient death rule though where we can go to -half max hitpoints, and we have Healing surges from 4E...We still get our...

The assumption is that anything under the GP limit is available to purchase. If a town has a GP limit of 3,000gp then you should be able to find nearly anything you want up to that value. You can even buy really cool stuff like light mithril armor etc... 'Magic item shops' are a DM created...

I thought that drow varient just broke the drow abilities down into 2 tiers... Isn't the 1st level Drow version still +1LA? There aren't any +0 PC races with that many bonuses are there? As far as build advice goes...I would recommend spell focus before Skill focus. The extra +1 DC on...

Deck of Many things is a surefire way to end your game.....all of the characters will either be completely screwed and lose all their stuff or die/be imprisoned, or they will end up lucky and get a :):):):) ton of wishes and end up about 5 levels too high for you to manage.

Take the Poison spell for example....Empowered it might still only deal 1 pt of constitution damage with only a 4 in 10 chance to deal 10 or more....Maximized it will always deal 10. It's a toss-up and really depends on play style. I have always liked empower more. But I know plenty of...

Simplest way to make money fairly is to become an ADVENTURER. It's the highest paid job in the world... A CR1 monster is supposed to have about 300g in treasure.

The total number is empowered in the example given. 1d6+1/4 caster levels. Say the caster level is 8. The final number would be (1d6+2)x1.5. Not (1d6x1.5)+2 As long as there is a die roll involved, the whole thing counts as an 'variable numeric effect'. This has been discussed many many...

Walls are a very good option... Or making illusions of people/monsters in order to lure out other monsters. Readying an action to cast put up a Wall of stone in between you and a bad guy that tries to attack you is a VERY good use of the 1st level illusion spell. He wastes his action on...

IMO, fun trumps reality in D&D. Swallow and run is something no PC will enjoy, and will probably think you are picking on them. Plus the obvious issues with what happens if they cut their way out while underground. You just turned an already powerful ability into a Save or die...Worse...

Maybe we should look at this a different way? Why exactly are the feats already mentioned not good enough? Does the PC already have them all and somehow wants more? Do you think they are to weak? If just gaining +s to hit is the issue, then there are tons magic items to accomplish this...

Biggest problem with that is the limited food supplies. Especially in the case of mind flayers. And the quasi-fact that they do not reproduce through sex. Any civilized community large enough to satisfy such a food requirement would likely be fairly large and advanced enough to NOTICE the...

Healing belt The point of the Healing Belt, as well as tons of the other cheap items in the MIC was to add depth, variety and choice to the game...Normally pretty much every D&D game ends up the same way...players all get the big 6 and they suck if they dont...It's better to sell everything...

Charging explicitly takes you in a straight line from where you are up to your opponent where you immediately stop and make a melee attack. The movement must be in as straight line and you are not allowed to move past them. So even if spring attack wasn't restricted to standard action at all...

Attempting to disarm/start grapple etc isn't really the same thing imo, although I can see why you picked it as an example. A regular AoO doesn't provoke unless you choose to substitute the normal melee attack with a special attack that provokes. The SRD says. You normally provoke if u...
