    Gaining the Death Domain

    The cleric doesn't have to choose a deity, he can simply choose two domains! Edit: oops, missed the part about not being able to change deities. Hmmm... As a DM, I would never let the rules get in the way of having fun, so, errr... in light of the above SRD quote I don't think it's too far a...

    Ranger with a Wand

    I'm pretty sure that the qualification is simply that the spell is on their spell list, and not that they're able to cast the spell. So a ranger or paladin with a "healing stick" makes a decent backup cleric after a fight. Cheers, Vurt

    Gestalting and LA

    In my current campaign, we apply the LA against both gestalt classes, mostly to keep the bookkeeping simple. Since you have to rebalance the opposition anyway to deal with your particular group of gestalt characters, it's not too bad. That said, there's also another rule we use from Unearthed...

    A bevy of monk-related feat questions...

    How odd... I see that by the RAW, your dexterity bonus doesn't enter into the grapple check. Mind you, by the same token, per the SRD it's your strength bonus (only) that affects a melee attack roll, and the weapon finesse feat was written specifically to get around that. Which begs the...

    A bevy of monk-related feat questions...

    No, I'm not going anywhere near improved natural attack, so don't worry! Rather, I need some simple rules clarifications on the following: 1) If a monk has the weapon finesse feat, are his unarmed attacks considered light weapons for purposes of the feat, thus allowing the feat's benefit? 2)...

    Name that Pirate Ship!

    This works best if you have a recognizable flagship or something similar that the PC's have encountered repeatedly in the past: Under New Ownership Cheers, Vurt

    Thanks for clearing that up for me. Cheers, Vurt

    Soulknives and Attacks of Opportunity

    Do soulknives who manifest their blades within a threatened area provoke attacks of opportunity? Also, do soulknives who prep their blades for a psychic strike provoke attacks of opportunity? I can't seem to find any rules for this yea or nay. Can anyone point me in the right direction...

    Blood red metal, what would you make it?

    Errr... Iron from the ancient demons' home plane? Or is that too obvious? My first suggestion was simply going to be rust! Cheers, Vurt

    Feat for using reach weapon up close?

    I haven't seen any feats in any of the official books to do this. However, even without a feat you should be able to use the shaft of the glaive as an improvised weapon, at a -4 penalty to hit as per the SRD, and doing quarterstaff damage. It probably wouldn't be too far a stretch to get...

    Xtrm Xplorer and APs

    One of the prerequisites for the Extreme Explorer class is the Action Boost feat, which changes your Action dice from d6's to d8's. Cheers, Vurt

    Gestalt Characters from a DM point of View

    Fighter-fighter wouldn't work, you apply the normal stacking rules for abilities and features per level. You'd just end up with a regular fighter, not a fighter with twice the feats. A fighter-barbarian would be interesting, however. One drawback I've encountered as a DM is that generating...

    Characters defined by "their stuff"

    Why, the Head of Vecna, of course! ;) EDIT: But if nothing else, I think the story only serves to prove the point. Cheers, Vurt

    Burial Rights for Adventurers

    Well, in climbing circles, there is the half-joke "If you die, we split your gear." But mostly that's because the gear is so specialized, it would be a shame to waste it (not unlike D&D adventuring). And it would be nice to keep something of a friend to remember them by, potentially even...

    Find the Path

    If you are trying to find a specific person, the spell Find the Path doesn't work, because it is keyed to objects. But could you use it to find the person's home, or prison, or other some such locale? Vurt

    Protection from Evil curiosity

    Incidentally, I was shocked to discover just the other day that skeletons are now "always neutral evil" in the 3.5 MM and SRD! Cheers, Vurt
