I've never been to GenCon (hopefully next year) but the folks who attended this year's Kubla Con generally had better hygiene and were better adjusted socially than many of gamers that visit my FLGS. :uhoh: [Edit] I couldn't figure out how to use th PM function (is it possible without being a...

The real problem with summoning is that summon nature's ally is way more powerful than summon monster. Preparing a Summon Monster spell, as written, is always a sub-optimal choice. If you do allow a spell that allows summoning as a standard action, IMO it should only apply to Summon Monster...

There is a wizard/sorcerer PRC that does exactly that, and it can be found in "Path of Magic" by FFG (although I can't recall the exact name of the class). However it becomes a very powerful class, so show it to your DM first (or take a close look if you're the DM).

http://pc.gamespy.com/articles/538/538848p1.html?fromint=1 In honor of D&D's 30th anniversary, Gamespy has a 25 page article detailing the history of the game and it's creators, as well as 25 pages on the history of D&D games, and all sorts of interviews. Enjoy :cool: P.S.: Make sure you...

I've always been a little confused by this. Does that mean that you have to deal damage equal to the troll's full hp with fire/acid, or just cauterize the wound once it's below -10?

You beat me to posting that link wrath. ;) That Ultimate Gaming Table looks great to me.

Thats a real waste of a 6th level spell. :uhoh: If you're trying to take out a tank (who likely a bad will save) why not just hit him with Dominate Person (5th level)? Now you can have him attack his own party at full strength.;) Or if you're worried he'll make the save just hit him with a...

As written it seems that you ruled correctly. However I don't think it would be unreasonable to allow a spell which would allow the caster to speak with the souls of the departed in the same manner as Speak with Dead (albeit, in a non-necromantic form). The idea of prying information from the...

I was really disappointed by this movie. I went in expecting a horror movie based on the trailers, and that isn't what I got at all. Its funny how in every thread about this movie at every board I visit someone has mentioned the resemblance to Scooby Doo, which is exactly what I was thinking...

You cannot take 20 on a knowledge skill. In both 3.0 and 3.5 it assumes that you try whatever you are attempting to do 19 times before you finally roll that 20. Therefore it cannot be used with a skill that does not allow retries. However, taking 10 does not seem to work the same way (i have...

1) What are the 3.5 affects of using Persistent spell, and how many spell slots higher does the new spell take? 2)Could someone who can use the search function please find the recent thread about the many uses of contingency, and link it here?

Allow your characters to rest often, with no interruptions during the night. Also, increase the speed of healing. Others have suggested basing it off of hit-die and con modifier, and that sounds like a good idea. Also, be aware that you cannot roleplay your way out of many encounters because...

I live about 10 minutes away from Scenario, so I would be interested in coming. The only problem is that I start school at UC Davis on the last week of September...

How is a Heward's Handy Haversack, Bag of Holding, or Portable Hole affected by entering an antimagic field?

Can you tell me where that rule is located? I can't seem to find any mention of it in 3.0 or 3.5. :\

My first suggestion would be improved invisibility, with or without fly or levitate (possible in combination with silent spell). If the players can't see the wizard, they can't grapple him or disrupt him. Or give your wizards high con, max concentration ranks, and combat casting so that if the...

Hi everyone, I just sent in my SIR to UC Davis, so that will be my new home for the next 4 years, starting in September. :) Unfortunately they don't allow you to have a car if you live on campus your first year, so I need to find some local games to play in (on campus or in the city of Davis)...

I'm interested in having another NCGD, and I joined your forums. Let us know what you dictate the next date to be. ;)

Can anyone tell me which sources those two spells are from? :\

No one who lives in northern california is interested in having another game day? Or is it just too early to be asking?
