In most fiction I've read, Thieves Cant really is a language of its own, even when it is based on an existing language. I would go with the Language option, but use an Innuendo/Bluff check to get a message across (vs Perform). Since the message is communicated in a different language, someone...

I'd like to throw one other alternative out there. What if we remove the spell failure portion originally suggested and replace a different penalty: There are 10 magical skills, and by spending skill ranks in those skills, basically characters of any class can gain the ability to cast spells...

I know there is a disclaimer in the description: distorting apparent time can be confusing to explain. Distorting space I get ... but it seems to me that any time distortion would result in massive combat penalties, especially since its an /illusion/ of time moving faster/slower and not the real...

While it doesn't say explicitly, I would say the save for a Divination targeted on another person would be Will (Harmless) and Spell Resistance does apply. It's an odd spell that doesn't grant a saving throw and SR, and Will makes the most sense as far as the save is concerned. In the absense of...

We actually decided to reduce magical damage (damage as in raw # of dice) in our campaign as well. We didn't change any of the existing mechanics. We simply capped the number of d6's a spell effect could produce to 1/2 caster level. We rounded up, not down, so I am only now, at level 3, able to...

Well, for out and out immunity, Abjure with an MP cost of 8 grants immunity to a particular elemental type, so I would say you have to spend at least 8 to gain immunity to Evoke Death effects. Seems powerful, but consider most of the Evoke Death effects can be replicated by low level core...

Since Evoke Death can cause paralysis by trading out damage dice, I would say Abjure Death 8 (Energy Resistance) should be able to grant immunity against it.

Given the FAQ entry, I'd say "yes".

From the FAQ When you jump farther than you’re allowed to move, you can just jump a shorter distance, or you can just finish your turn in midair and finish your jump on the next turn. There’s no rule that says your jumping distance is limited by your speed. There is a rule that says any jump...

I was under the impression that the weapon only included the BAB and any bonuses on the weapon itself when determining attack/damage rolls; any additional bonuses coming from the wielder (strength, feats, etc) would be excluded. It fights for 4 rounds using the base attack bonus of the one who...

We came across a similar situation early on in our group and we decided to treat that as a Charge attempt (+2 Hit/-2 AC for 1 round). Its simple and has worked well for us. Slander

Why is this ignored? I tried looking through the other thread for a reason that this passage from the FAQ was ignored but couldn't find one: I’m basically wondering what conditions can cause you to lose the benefits of uncanny dodge. Uncanny dodge allows you to keep your Dexterity bonus to...

Well, technically yes it can. However, since detect spells need to focus 3 rounds before pinpointing a person location, its a highly ineffective method when compared to See Invisibility (not Detect Invisibility). If the invisible evil guy moved out of the Paladins current spell arc, your...

Hey all, Sorry if I've missed this, but does an ECL adjustment exist anywhere for the presented races in the book? Specifically, one of my players has an interest in the Shaturug. After looking at it, I'm thinking +3 or +4, but I haven't done much with adding races with ECL, so I don't know...

Yes. <<Missed the specific reference to monk weapon>> Slander

Hey all, I originally posted this in the "Elements of Magic Comments" thread, since you have other outstanding products, I thought this may be useful to the company as a whole on it's own. http://www.hanmen.com/patchwise/pwfre.htm It's free software (even for commercial use) that allows you...

Patch Utility First, lemme give a heartfelt "Thanks" for this book. I'd been attempting to create a Tal-like magic system ever since I downloaded a copy of the 4th Edition preview, and even if it wasn't your intention, you blended the openness of the Tal system with d20 masterfully. My group...

Thanks for the update, everyone. It's a shame we've (temporarily?) lost such a great fan writer. I really enjoyed his writings. Hopefully he'll find time to come back after he settles in his new job. Thanks again for the links. Slander

Does anyone know where this site has moved to or if it's even still in existance? www.sleepingimperium.rpghost.com no longer seems to work. Thanks. Slander

Someone already mentioned that the returning weapon comes back the initiative one before yours and will return before the free action part of that round, but can you make a free action in some else's round? Free actions can only be done on your turn, so no. Example: Player init 16, last round...
