hehe...looks like there is a misprints someplace. In the SRD, right after the box Connection Modifiers, the opening line is (and I think this is also the line you are referring to): I'd be willing to bet that the Handbook has a typo in it and that the typo was corrected in the SRD (I've never...

Actually, its right in the spell description that Scrying does allow the caster to hear.

I agree with you there. If anything, the PC's might want to say that they put their money into banks and only put a portion of it into there. The rest of it they could hide under their mattress (figuratively) or perhaps invest it into some business or such under the table. If you want an...

That comment of mine about Quicken Spell at third level was a joke. Its absolutely useless at that level. However, it is an excellent Feat for Mages and Priests at those mid-level (approximately 10th).

In the medieval world taxes were much higher then they are today. And when a government is in a state of war, those taxes will be even higher. I say go for it and make sure to spring it on them just after they get a decent haul from an adventure (and find themselves paying all their coin just...

I don't remember the issue, but I remember a few years back in Dragon they had some articles on what I'd call Dirty Couples. Namely they suggest Tag Teams of non-humanoid baddies who's abilities complimented each other. This isn't quite what you're looking for, but I think it might help...

As mentioned, it depends on your character idea. One Feat I have noticed that is very handy at high levels is the Spell Penetration to get through that nasty Spell Resistance. Of course, this again depends on the campaign, but most higher level heroes always seem to run up against outsiders...

For the first part, it might be possible by the raw. Looking at Minor Image it depends on if you consider darkness to be an "object, creature, or force" (from SRD for Minor Image) and I think that argument could be made. However, I don't think I'd allow it. Let us compare Minor Image as a...

I don't think its weird that you're going in depth with the research. Concerning your example, I might look around for about 10-15 minutes for a warehouse fire that actually occured that long ago. If I didn't find anything, then so be it. If I did, then great. However, one thing I would make...

Hey Scribble, I was actually living in Philly not long ago and now live a little outside of the city, but had plans to run a d20 Modern game in Philly. Unfortunately the PCs decided to go a different direction with the game. So now I have it sitting off to the side and constantly add things...

In my campaign, I've arranged for the Titans to be beings of a former Time. By Time (with a capital 'T') I mean before this Time began. I got this Time idea from some board here before and ran with it, integrating the Hindu notion of death and rebirth (and they believe that the universe itself...

It definately makes a certain degree of logical sense to me. I can understand your method and I can also understand the RAW method. Just a little note, you'll be making those lightly armed fighters slightly less powerful...assuming they were aiming for such an enchantment even if on their...

Not so much a rules thing and I realize you might have already done this very thing, but something I think that will cut down on PC death is to make your stance on combat/death very clear at the onset. Let them know that their PCs can die and will not be able to be brought back. Better then...

As the DM, I wouldn't compensate anything. I'd take the cleric casting the Righteous Might aside and tell her precisely what you've said here: you did not, at first, realize the power that the spell possessed when coupled with Divine Power and that, due to an unbalancing factor, you cannot...

I'm not a real FR fan, however I do remember an older thread from probably one to two months ago when someone (I can't remember her name, just remember her little picture...err!) was starting a very similar, if a lower level, campaign in the Stonelands. You might want to check out there for...

I remember reading once how a gentleman (or lady) on the boards here once kept needing to look up the chart especially when he was at work (and not near his DMG). To resolve the issue, he hand printed the chart on a business card-sized piece of paper and then laminated it to keep in his wallet...

You may want to consider the character entangled in terms of his feet getting tangled up in the body while trying to move, etc. This of course also incurs a -4 Dex penalty, but I think it makes sense since it would make movement to avoid blows difficult. To house rule that, might just consider...

I was looking over a character for a friend of mine (participating in a campaign that I am not currently participating within) and something just keeps nagging me about her that I can't quite put my finger on. I think she's missing something but just don't know what. I was hoping someone here...

I had a DM, who was also a good friend of mine, be somewhat like this. We both had the same interests in games, movies, TV shows, books, etc. We'd often times recommend one to the other with the usual result of both of us enjoying it and being able to talk about it. Cool... However, whenever...

Firstly, let me just say that plotwise it sounds like you're off to a great start. You have only a handful of factions but a great deal of opportunities. Well done! Now, unfolding the plot. LostSoul gave a nice idea to get things rolling. If you'd like to try to get the PCs involved, make...
