And you'd be part of the very few. I never said NO ONE plays them, I said very few still play them. How many 1E/2E boards or websites are there out there? Not very many at all (especially compared to the number of 3E).

I think we won't know if 3.5 was/is a failure or not until 4E comes out. If WotC puts it out too soon, they'll face a real backlash (IMO). But if they wait, say another 5 years, then I think everyone will move on and forget about the 3.0 to 3.5 revisions. How many people still play 1E? 2E? Not...

When grappling, does a creature need to make a Concentration check to use a spell-like ability? Can it use the ability at all? The only reference in the PH or DMG I could find indicated a Concentration check was needed for spells, but there was no mention of spell-like abilities. Also, does...

I totally agree with BFG. It's not so much a case of can it be done as opposed to would the character take it? IMO, no. I think the potions exception is in there to allow characters to still use curing potions.

I remember reading that feat (Shaft Fighting?). But I think it only worked with a certain polearm (glaive/trident?). I remember thinking, "wow! that's a cool feat!", and then seeing that it was only with a certain polearm...

After reading the Sneak Attack post on the WotC site, it got me thinking about throwing flour (or some other substance) on an invisible creature. Are there any rules for this?

I think you mean "role-playing." "Roll-playing" is the opposite of what you're talking about.

When someone is pinned during a grapple, does that mean they are on the ground? It sounds obvious but I can't find it stated anywhere. I can envision dealing damage or holding someone immobile w/o putting them down on the ground. This situation came up when a monk grappled and pinned an enemy...

As a longtime DM myself, it sounds like your DM spent a considerable amount of time on his BBEG and really wanted your party to fight it. I can sympathize since I've created really cool NPCs (IMO) and then had the party say, "No thanks, we don't want that mission." My solution would be a...

Thanks for the replies! I've got a much clearer picture now.

Although it seems less powerful than command (b/c it only disarms), I'd still leave it a 1st-lvl spell. Otherwise, next thing you know everyone will be spending all their 0-lvl spells on Disarm and every BBEG with a bad Will save will be fumbling their weapons constantly. Someone just needs to...

I'm having trouble conceptualizing the Ethereal Plane. The DMG states that denizens "watch the Material Plane as though viewing it through distorted and frosted glass." Ok, but where is the Material (MP) in relation to the Ethereal (EP)? The Manual of the Planes states that the EP is like the...

Thanks! One last thing. That post on the WotC board doesn't address Magic Vestment. I understand it provides an enhancement bonus to armour. So does chainmail +3 with Magic Vestment +2 provide a total enhancement bonus of +5, and a total overall AC bonus of +10?

OK, what about this. Custom magic item called Robes of Protection. No armour bonus (+0) but provides a deflection bonus of +1 to +5 to AC (sort of like the 2E cloak of protection). Would Magic Vestment stack in this case?

An attended item gets a save refers to when someone targets your item with a spell (i.e. disintegrate). If you roll a 1 on your save, you consult the chart, determine the item, and then make an item saving throw. If the item is "attended" (in the character's possession) it uses the character's...

That's when you tell him that the prestige class he wants is on the other side of the world and it will take him 6 months to get there. Assure him not to worry and that you'll call him when his character gets there ;)

There are detailed rules for lycanthropes wearing armour and changing forms in the 2E book, Van Richten's Guide to Lycanthropes (Ravenloft). The werebeast suffers damage if changing into a larger form and wearing armour and there is a chance, IIRC, that the armour is destroyed. You could use...

Magic Vestment can be cast on normal clothing and its effects will stack with bracers of armour, correct? I just want to make sure...

I thought the DL adventures were based off the novels, not the other way around...

Wow. Thanks a bunch!
