    Vecna

    I'd picture a Death Knight Fighter Rogue that moves into either. I assume a martial champion simply by the word champion, and as such would probly go Blackguard. If it helps your concept, come up with this villain's backstory. How did he get chosen by Vecna? Was he made from the ground up or...

    How much do FLGS owners make?

    Most FLGS owners become HLGS when you even hint at becoming a FLGS owner yourself (and the H is for Hostile) and this is because if you're talking to him, you probably live in an area he considers his turf, or within about 40 miles, which invariably also is his turf. This is indicative of two...

    Clone: OUCH!

    I envision the grand council of mages, having finished the Clone Initiative, all gathered around the table of their great hall sitting on tall, regal chairs with those inflatable donut cushions for padding.

    Which 3.5 changes are you NOT using?

    My gaming group has gotten one session of 3.5 under their belts. I have no real intentions of changing any of the 3.5 rules back to 3.0, because it will take a good amount of time for me to grasp the meta, the overarching rules and how all these seemingly minor changes impact play. The only...

    D&D 3.0 Core books worth keeping?

    Old 3.0 books make excellent corner and cover protectors for 3.5 books if you use backpacks to transport them to games. Corebook sandwich!

    Ending Combat Diplomatically?

    Just be ready to rapid diplomacy those same NPCs to your defense when players who have been craving a good combat finally pounce your diplomat for ending every encounter. ^_^

    Is cannibalism (or rather, eating the flesh of sentient beings) inherently evil?

    Cannibals rise from the dead as Ghouls and Ghasts.. so they must be evil! Everyone knows that! Erm, well that's at least one way to interpret it. Without any kind of campaign reinforcement of it being evil, it isn't necessarily- although it definitely isn't in the good category to kill...

    Miss GenCon, Miss the Memories

    Nevermind Miss Gencon, I'm intrigued by who Miss the Memories could possibly be.

    Only Lawful Monks?

    Most monk abilities aren't tied to their alignment.. that's made clear in the paragraph regarding Ex-monks that clearly states that non-lawful monks retain their earned abilities but are unable to advance further. The lawful aspect is the adherence to tradition and the following of specific...

    "I barf on the troll..."

    Being on fire or doused in acid does not prevent a troll from regenerating. However, Damage that is caused by fire or acid is not regenerated by a troll. Damage must be caused by the fire or acid source in order to hinder a troll's regeneration. Without a unique interpretation on the part of...

    Another alignment question & Animate Dead

    Neutral clerics can cast evil spells and good spells just if they do it enough they commit sufficient evil or good acts to warrant an alignment shift (check with the DM to see how much it would take.) The danger is really getting too many steps from the alignment of your faith.. go too far and...

    Is it better to do good or to stop evil?

    Giving it some extra thought, does it really matter if it is what a "good" person would do or what a monk would do? If your character is motivated by it, it's a good motivation pure and simple- even if it's more of a character flaw. If he fights with his desires for vengence, it'll be great...

    Is it better to do good or to stop evil?

    I've always understood Illmater to focus upon suffering for the benefit of others. A simplification perhaps to say the best, but well- simple answers are all I can offer. heh I'd put Illmater followers more along the lines of defending people without concern to the physical dangers of doing...

    How do you fight a god? Four gods?

    I've heard tale that Piratecat had an interesting method of bumping ecls for stats well beyond the norm. I never found out exactly how it works, but I'm sure someone knows / can search a link..

    Help a guy out - Magic to find stolen objects

    Also contacting all jewelers in the town and the neighboring ones would help. Putting up posts asking for its return with a reward.. just a few mundane options.

    Flame Blade abuse/legality?

    Ahh I getcha. The "like a scimitar" thing is mostly so druids can do it without being all "ew it's a sword, get it off me!" when they cast it. As for my inaccuracies, sorry- was going from memory =)

    Flame Blade abuse/legality?

    The only explicit differences between a Flame Blade and a Scimitar are: 1) it's a force-like beam 2) it's damage is fire damage 3) it gains no benefit of strength 4) it is 1d8 + X damage. Beyond this, it functions as a scimitar- that means crit range and multiplier. The spell, as I read it...
