There are two parts in this question. Firstly I'm wondering if anyone could calculate the price of a particular item. And secondly if they could do this in such a way I can learn from it so I can do it myself. The item is a staff that allows the casting of Entangle 1/day and increases the DC of...

It does have reach when wielded by a collossal creature.

So what is the difference between a small longbow and a medium shortbow that justifies all of the following: A small longbow weighs 1.5 lbs., deals 1d6 damage using arrows weighing 0.075 lbs. each, and has a range increment of 100 ft. A medium shortbow weighs 2 lbs., deals 1d6 damage using...

Considering the range of weaponry available in D&D it could make sense. If you wanted to make it historically accurate you would have to remove weapons first since armor is a response to weapons. You'd also have to remove magic, and all the various magical creatures, so that battle tactics...

As long as your DM is fine with it you could acquire an item that absorbs damage and heals it, probably some kind of armour, maybe an amulet or belt. I found the Mechanatrix in the Fiend Folio, +2 Con, +2 Int, -2 Dex, -2 Cha, could make an interesting Wizard build if your DM allows it. I wonder...

So Armor of Cooling would protect you from the cold as well, interesting....

You should check out the books Sandstorm and Frostburn, but even the DMG has some info on the effects of heat I believe. And at certain temperatures characters wearing armor are affected as though heat or chill metal has been cast on them.

True I guess, although I don't thinkg a rogue would wear mith full plate even if it was light. It still has a large CP and low Max Dex.

Removing the speed penalty from medium armor, would make mithril full plate equal in statistics to removing the medium armor altogether. Except for maybe proficiency. As for Celestial Armor, even if not made of mithril, I wouldn't say it can be made of mithril, since it's a specific item...

During medieval re-enactment, we called the mace the medieval can-opener. It was invented as response to full-plate. If we are going to realistically we'd also have to go points where certain helms protect against weapons like flails while others don't. And have certain helms give penalties on...

There is no game mechanic that allows you to be Sharakim and Illumian at once, but let's assume you can. Both races are humanoids with the human subtype, which means they qualify for prerequisites as if they were human. Again there is no game mechanic for creating Elans, just a description of...

Why would anyone pay the extra 50sp? Also, I like to think the partial armor sets are somehow an explanation of lower AC despite being just the same type of material, when comparing breastplate to fullplate for example. You can assume that when you hit someone you would not have hit when...

Each gemstone just has a value, set my the DM. Example values are given in a table in the DMG. If a player pays more for it because he's generous or made a bad appraise check that doesn't change its actual value. At least that's how I understand it, just like paying 300gp extra for a longsword...

Only the DC has to be secret, not the roll. Unless the player rolls a natural 1, but still, I prefer to assume players that play fair and don't cheat by using outgame information ingame. If none of the player's characters has ever heard about a troll, then they don't know they need fire or acid...

Misinformation could be a possible result for a failed check. Maybe success = information Failure within 5 of DC = no information Failure by 5 or more = misinformation

Considering D&D a game, a class feature meant to be an advantage to the character shouldn't suddenly have the possibility to become a disadvantage. That's like having a Paladin who accidentally smites a non-evil character have his smite bonus subtracted instead of added, because the positive...

The limit of the amount of free actions per round is set by the DM and common sense. Talking is normally a free action but it makes sense that a conversation would take multiple rounds. It's up to the DM to set the exact limit depending on how important it really is for what's going on. Swift...

I cast Detect Neutral, oh no, the aura is so overwhelmingly neutral it stunned me. It's basically the warrior-priest in service of his faith, but a little less on the priest part (no spellcasting). Since just stripping the Cleric of spellcasting makes him underpowered I looked at the closest...

I don't think it's possible. I still argue that it is not 100% clear that "objects in the area" excludes attended objects, but it does indeed get complicated when they don't. There would be a huge amount of objects and SRD doesn't use the shared faith houserule so this would per SRD require a...
