I don't have a rules citation handy, but I can't believe the bonuses would stack. They'd only overlap.

Suppose that, as a DM, I were to offer a negative LA in exchange for a low point buy. I.e. instead of generating a 3rd level character with a 32 point buy, a player could make a 4th level character with a lower point buy. Or even a 5th level character with a still lower point buy. What...

There are also various powers tied to an ability bonus. The amount of healing a paladin does; the number of extra AoOs you can take with Combat reflexes. The number of turnings per day a cleric has (which strongly affects how good the cleric's turning feats are). Stuff like that. I think it...

Nope. I just went through it- no Medusas at all, let alone an illithid/medusa pairing.

I agree. I think that 5d6 for a 5th level spell would be all right (average 17.5). 15d2 for a 4th level spell (average 22.5) might be OK, but I'd hesitate to allow it to set that precedent.

True, but it seems that the designers of the orbs disagreed with this perspective. The option they provided (single target direct damage that replaces an SR check with a ranged touch attack) is unsatisfactory to some people; I just want to point out that there are potential fixes besides making...

It would be nice if arcanists could make some kind of direct magical attack against golems. Sure the orbs might be too good as written, but I can't help but feel that making them SR (yes) nerfs them too much. How about a compromise? Say that yes, the energy collected by the orb spells is...

Ok. Basically I have a problem with the classification of Ranger favored enemies. How is it possible that griffons and hydras have more in common than humans and elves? Here's the basic data about the Ranger's favored enemy. It includes the material from the SRD, a paraphrased version of the...

It seems clear that an abjurant champion is supposed to be able to benefit twice; once from an abjuration spell that gives an armor bonus, and again from an abjuration spell that gives a shield bonus. But I don't know of any abjuration spell that gives an armor bonus. If I were DM I'd allow...

Doesn't the text of it give you a favored enemy at +1? The favored enemy mechanic was revised from 3.0 => 3.5, so the feat should be adapted too. There is the Living Greyhawk conversion document, but it seems to have been overlooked by the WotC page, so I'm not sure it counts. It just seems...

Regarding Whin Z. Roe... Does Abjurant Champion's Abjurant Armor class ability enhance greater mage armor? AFAIK it's a conjuration (creation) spell, not an abjuration, and should only give a +6 AC. Mind you, the folks who gave the sample NPC in CM 153 apparently thought the ability should...

According to this page the feat had not been revised as of 01/13/2005. But the absence of information to the contrary makes me think that no, it hasn't been published in a 3.5 book.

Thread Necromancy This is a 2003 thread! Has a 3.5 version of this feat been published yet? Or is the 3.0 one still the default?

Thanks Klaus!

Note that the previous post has been edited. The discussion in the OotS 439 thread made me realize that the xp mechanic in the first post is not what is given by the DMG. I was treating a multi-creature encounter as if it were a creature whose CR was the EL of the whole encounter. And it...

I could have sworn I read about an alternative class feature for the Ranger that allowed him to take arcanists (including warlocks) as a favored enemy. But now I can't find it. Anyone know where something like this can be found? Or am I just dreaming it?

It's very odd, but I remember this thread as having a link to this article which talks about skill DCs and their meaning in relation to character level. One of the startling things about the article is its claim that folks like Albert Einstein and Aragorn are only 5th level characters. So...

It's a fifth level spell, so you'd think it would work like prismatic spray, but for only one target. The question was asked over at the wizards boards: Prismatic Ray clarification please? There's another link that is not coming through for me, but google has a cached version: here...

I think this was mentioned before, but mind blank prevents morale bonuses from working, right? It's a pity that a character optimized for inspire courage will find their ability useless at high and epic levels, when the other party members get this particular protection. Is it quite definite...

Could a moderator please close this thread? People seem intent on thread-crapping it, so I think I'll wait until another time to revisit the issue.
