My thoughts... Why sorcerers shouldn't be able to quicken The big mechanical difference between wizards and sorcerers with quicken (as a free action) is that - if wizards want to use it - they have to prepare the spell in advance and take a slot out of commission. If it turns out that the...

I'm interested in adding a planar theme to my campaign. Not so much as a long term campaign on the planes, but more of planar being attempting to influence the material plane and maybe short trips to the planes as a result. (as a side note with 3.5e the planes are now OGC, which is interesting)...

In The Sunless Citadel there's a tree at the end. If anyone out there has the module to hand, does this have a con score and, if so, what? I'm just interested what precident there is, and this is the only 3e example of a stat'ed tree I can think of. nikolai.

Double post, Sorry.

Sorry, I didn't express myself as clearly as I should have. At the moment there are two facets to the mag. Dungeon (adventures) and Poly (minigames etc.) and this happened because they merged two originally seperate magazines together. Hence the flipped gimmick, two covers, etc. Now - given...

Fantastic, this is all a step in the right direction. This is the best of the lot as the flipped format was just horrid. On an similar note: is there any good reason for the 2 magazines in one gimmick? Is it just there for historical reasons? Why not scrap it totally, the "poly" content can be...

I realise this is a old topic, I just had no idea of the shear extent of borrowing from other sources. Vance is on my list for reading (http://www.sfsite.com/10b/tde91.htm) what caught my attention was the spell: Sound familiar to anyone... nikolai.

I've been reading a lot of classic Sword and Sorcery literature recently and have finished all the Conan stuff (Robert E. Howard), am starting on Elric (Michael Moorcock) and am also working my way through Clark Ashton Smith. I'm also keeping a close eye on other Sword and Sorcery literature...

Well I'm not making any solid promises on the timing, we'll see how it goes. I hope to build up a selection of balanced weapons which rounds out those available in the SRD. I realise WotC and many other people don't think this is necessary - and that similar things are all over the net - but I...

Horrible vague question - sorry... Can you look at offensive conjuration spells: ray of frost glitterdust Melf's acid arrow flame arrow stinking cloud sepia snake sigil etc. do they allow spell resistance? nikolai.

Folks, this is all so 3e... You're all completely ignoring the links that have been posted to FireLance's post, for the record here's it in full: Link: http://enworld.cyberstreet.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=57662. There's a whole bunch of offensive spells which ignore SR. Golems have a...

I just want to bring attention to Firelance's post, and directions to the Conjuration & SR thread: http://enworld.cyberstreet.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=57662. It seems like the above no longer applies. This is a major change, SR is no longer the spell stopper it was, it seems that there's...

Thanks for pointing this out FireLance, you've very sharp eyes. And Wow. Golems have just got easier... Flesh CR 7: Fort +3, Ref +2, Will +3. Clay CR 10: Fort +3, Ref +2, Will +3. Stone CR 11: Fort +4, Ref +3, Will +4. Iron CR 13: Fort +6, Ref +5, Will +6. These are the 3e figures, but if...

Just thought this would be an interesting topic for discussion. There's a lot of d20 stuff out there, lots of it falls into familiar catagories - there are tons of monster books and splatbooks. What hasn't been done, or hasn't been done well enough to warrant doing it again? Frankly, I don't...

Re: Re: Campaign Creation Secrets [linked adventures from 1st-20th level] A year in real life - the (hypothetical) calculation is, if I recall correctly, a session a week, a just over 4 combats (EL=level) a session, 3 sessions a level, which makes just over a year to 20th. Of course, this is...

3e was with the idea of PCs going from 1-20th level in about a year. Does anyone have any idea about how to go about designing a cohesive campaign that goes about building up series of adventures running from 1st level to 20th and some important accomplishment? By this I don't mean the losely...

My take: I don't buy this (but there again I don't buy Dungeon any more either). The people who are desperately inventing reasons to ignore it completely should give up. The poll provides support for the notion that most people want Poly out. I does this just because the poll went the way it...

I agree. I just can't see a way around it for the skeleton's example, so I think this is where the "almost" comes in. I guess the balancing factor for the surprise round is that: a) They have to put themselves at a disadvantage to get it (i.e. prone). b) If there's more than one, they have to...

I think the problem is that this differs from the standard - kick the door down combat model in the DMG, where you just check for surprise, roll initiative etc. I'm not bothered about whether undead look different from real bodies, for the moment. Assume they're zombies and identical to...

I though we could do with a thread discussing the hidden motivations and bias that lead Monte Cook to write what he did in his review of 3.5e (http://www.montecook.com/review.html). He wrote part of 3.0e and Arcana Unearthed is coming out soon, there's obviously a lot of stuff going on in his...
