Dear Player, I apologize that I cannot provide you with compensation for your lack of desire to utilize the opportunities available to you. ----------------------------------- Its the worst form of munchkinizing. "Hi, I'd like you to alter this rule, and that rule, and maybe this other rule...

Yes, that is one way of viewing it. I would certainly agree, in general, if the MMM doorway were "open" and Dispel Magic went off (targeted via See the Invisible or True Seeing, or an area dispel that happened to hit the mark). If the MMM doorway were open and then was dispelled, it stands to...

Magic Missile doesn't fit into this definition. My call: The feat Exceptional Deflection cannot stop Magic Missiles. EDIT----------------- Update: Allow me to expand that to say: Exceptional Deflection doesn't work on the vast majority of spells because virtually none of them can be...

I've always though of the MMM as being in another dimension, as per the text of the spell, and as such, it is completely immune to anything occuring in the Prime Material Plane:

I will just throw in a general thank you for those links. I had a player running an Invisible Blade in a 3.0 campaign a few years ago, and I think he will get a kick out of reading the "original" version. Micro-Rant: I'm generally unhappy with 5-level prestige classes. No, make that...

I also recall the 1st Ed. AD&D rules about magic armor alloys. I would have extended that to weapons, and would have allowed the spell to work. Now, if the hammer had been pure Adamantite (somehow), that would have been a different story. I'm not sure at all what the technical canon is for...

Allowing all simple weapons would be a good idea. The Dragoon may, philosophically, use them only rarely, but on many occasions (such as stripped in a cavern, ala In the Dungeons of the Slave Lords), they're going to want to be able to use other weapons. Worse than fighter. 12 class skills...

Follow the TableSmith link in my Sig, below. Join the group. Download and install the software. There are lots of excellent name generators already available that are fully tweakable, and tweaking them (or creating your own) is super-easy. --------------------------- Aside from that, I do...

Aha! Thus two age-old questions shall be answered. 1) What tapioca is like when it flows in the streets? 2) What adventuring with Cerebrus is like?

I take it that the whip is used in step 1 or 4, because otherwise it doesn't appear in this list of actions.

Do tell.

That goes pretty well, right up until you use the word "If". The rod is granting the feat's effect upon the spell when cast, not when prepared. That's "can cast". A scimitar isn't one of the weapons that can be used to do that. General melee touch attacks do not suffer from non-proficiency...

What do you consider the sentence "The wielder can cast up to three spells per day that are empowered as though using the Empower Spell feat." to mean, if not "The wielder can cast up to three spells per day that are empowered as though using the Empower Spell feat."? (This sentence is repeated...

The spell, Flame Blade, states "Attacks with the flame blade are melee touch attacks." This specifies what to do in combat with this magical creation that looks like a scimitar (but actually isn't a scimitar). No need for a Feat is mentioned, and so attempting to assume that a Feat is...

The Hells Articles, Ed Greenwood (Ok, so a lot has been reprinted now, but they're still the best ever.) The Nine Hells, Part 1, Issue 75 The Nine Hells, Part 2, Issue 76 The Nine Hells Revisited, Issue 91 The following are my favorite world-building articles from Dragon's long history. The...

When I look at it, the FAQ is just spelling out what the entire item description already says. That makes it a clarification. No rules are broken. It is a case of a magic item granting an ability/function/feature that is normally not available, just as many other magic items grant.

The Elixir of Youth removed 1d4+1 years of aging, and had no drawbacks.

In Fred Saberhagen's, Empire of the East, a magic user summons an elemental. It appears to be a near-verbatim casting of a 1E Conjure Elemental spell. There was also a magic user with a toad familiar. I was always convinced that is how it got on the list of familiars...
