    Oddest builds...

    I had a human monk/ranger/wizard/fleshwarper with a bunch of the Lords of Madness aberrant feats. He buffed strong, hit hard, but had a glass jaw. We didn't bother raising him.

    Is it ok to hate cats and still be a gamer?

    No one of the ~dozen players in my extended gaming family has a cat. Two each have a dog. Cats lose. Hell, I would get a poodle before getting a cat.

    Death, Reincarnation and Familiars...

    Our rule is that the familiar remains a magical beast for one day per level of master's class. So a Wiz14 has two weeks, but a Wiz2/Fig12 has two days. I also applied this to animal companions, in a way. When the druid was killed, her wolf shadowed the party keeping a close eye on the corpse...

    give me your over-arching plots NOW!!! please :)

    Piratecat's players keep out There's a British scifi author named Richard K Morgan (who I believe recently dropped the K for some reason). His books include Altered Carbon, Broken Angels, and Woken Furies. The political setup of your suggestion is a bit similar to the Envoys in these books...

    Help me find a Cleric spell, please.

    Don't have my books anywhere nearby, but isn't there a spell Barghest's Feast that does this?

    Wounds from Eldritch Blasts

    yeah, I doubt two warlocks have the same flavored blast. You may decide that this guy's blasts shred, or blenderize, or melt, or invert, or ... hmm. Did you see that remake of the Fly with Goldblum? Remember how meat always came out wrong, and the monkey was turned inside out? yeah, do...

    Is this an appropriate challenge for 6-7 level 2s? (My players stay out!)

    Yeah, I was thinking of an environmental hazard, too. Are you set on a mummy? Why not a ghast and a few ghouls?

    What's the best thread you've started?

    There is something magical about threads that get people so angry that the mods have to apply the Death Attack: Can you coup de grace with an Inflict Wounds spell? Sage A[d]vice's ruling on staves (not quite what I named it, but Hypersmurf helped me out with the, uh, spelling)

    Are the alternate base classes becoming core?

    My most recently generated character is a half-orc barbarian. Soooo non-core. ;) That party has a monk/rogue, a cleric, and a warmage. I don't think the warmage is going to drop into the core rules any time soon. My campaign has a cleric, a fighter/wizard, a ranger/rogue, a druid, and a...

    Appropriate use of Spot check

    At best he could have been told that "there is movement on the roof," depending on the contrast between monster and roof. If the monsters are tiny black cats on a black roof, then he gets nothing. If they are gargantuan blue dragons, then I might toss him a bone.

    Is this legal? (Shrewsconners stay out)

    No. Multiple shape-changing effects do not stack. I would have the enlarge person actually cancel the wildshape.

    Are there any planar traits that restrict Teleport?

    Yes, the limited magic planar trait works. Also, two other things come to mind:The Outlands, or Concordant Opposition, or whatever the heck they call it these days, limits high-level magic the closer you get to the center of the plane. The party in my campaign plane shifted there and wound up...

    Mods modding their own threads

    Might I point out that ENWorld is not a popularly governed body or similar organization that owes anything to its users? I ran a BBS for a couple of years, and sysopped a couple others, and I'm all for pointing out that you exist at the whim of the mods. And I'm OK with that, because the...

    Best First Level Module for New Players

    Unless your new players are children, I disagree. The plots and roleplaying are what hook adults into playing a game that is otherwise just DnD Minis. What's important is to show them that you leave off one session...and pick up right there at the next session...and this game goes on for a...

    Are Druids regarded as the most powerful class in 3.5?

    I have DMed a druid from level 1 to 16, so far. She has enough XP for 17, now, so when she wakes up I have a bigger headache on my hands. Not that the goal of any DM should be to kill his players, but the only times I have managed to kill this druid were when I have caught her out of...

    Help with Feats for a Cleric

    My Shackled City cleric of Boccob (magic, trickery) has Silent Spell, Divine Metamagic (Silent Spell), and Lightning Reflexes. Hey, he's only third level. I haven't really gone too far down the planning road with this feller. Maybe...Arcane Insight? That with Power Attack (he wields a...

    Should I Ban Tanglefoot Bags?

    wha? What's wrong with FtP? Also, I am thinking that maybe what tanglefoot bags need is an expiration date. Like, if you don't use it within three days of manufacture, it becomes less effective (DC drops by 2, duration halves), and then in another three days it is just a medicine ball.

    Favored class after Reincarnate?

    no. Favored class is a cultural trait. Your mind has not changed.

    Price a +4 con, +2 str, +2 dex belt

    39,000gp. 4 (con bonus), squared plus 50% for wrong body slot plus 2 (str bonus) squared plus 50% for secondary ability plus 2 (dex bonus) squared plus 50% for secondary ability plus 50% for wrong body slot equals 39. Times one thousand. The question here is whether the dex bonus's...

    Flesh mechanics?

    For added creep factor, pick up Alienist and slap that Pseudonatural template on top of your already aberrant familiar.
