The one time I took a party into low-g realm I handled it by secretly imposing a severe range penalty that went down as they engaged in long range shooting--whether at real enemies or simple targets. It turned out moot--nobody ever tripped it.

While it makes a good description of how Arcane Sight reveals the world I think you learn more as I don't see that Arcane Sight takes away your normal vision. Thus you see the leafy green sheet but you also see the statue at the same time--you know there's second-level illusion magic where the...

Exactly. You can sight in the left-right direction but with up-down you must aim above the target. Not only that but it's not just a fixed increase in angle for a given distance but you have to get the bow pull just right, also.

In lower gravity you don't need to arc the projectile as much and thus it will be easier to hit a distant target. Eons ago I did a bit of archery at distant targets--the error margin in distance was a lot more than the error margin side to side. Admittedly, none of us were anything you could...

I wouldn't even require the save in a case like this. If you're immune to the failed-save effect I would say you're automatically immune to the made-save effect. It's obviously a lesser version of whatever you're immune to, you have to be immune to it.

And how is the Druid going to repay the XP that went into the items??

Yeah, that seems like a reasonable approach.

Even nastier: A symbol on the chest of an Iron or Stone Golem.

In the spirit of the ring of three washes: The sword of dragonsleighing: If this sword strikes a dragon a wooden vehicle using runners appears behind the dragon and connected to it by two ropes leading to a collar on the dragon. The sleigh will crumble to dust after 1 turn, while it is in...

I use it to bind the hands of a captive and tie the other end to my wrist.

Add another vote for the gestalt rules and watching out for the save-or-die situations.

The thing is at present multi-class casters are basically non-viable. You don't see them except in a few circumstances with PrCs. Thus something that boosts the power of a multi-class caster isn't inherently breaking.

Too powerful. I favor two fixes: 1) Practiced Spellcaster. It should also be stackable. 2) Your caster level should be the sum of your caster levels. +1 for full casters, + 1/2 for partial casters like Paladins. The results would be capped at your ECL and would have a privisio that you...

Two mechanical issues: 1) Can the ladder support the animal? Very few ladders are going to be strong enough for an elephant. Most will be marginal at best even with a horse. 2) To climb a ladder you must either grip the ladder (something no horse or elephant can do) or you must keep your...

What you are missing is that that Fortify seed is based around the stat buff spells. (Most of the seeds are explicitly based around existing spells.) Going from 3.0 to 3.5 that spell it's based on went from hour/level to minute/level. Shouldn't that mean the effect of the Fortify seed also...

Is that really much of an issue now with the stat boost spells having a shortened duration? With the duration at a hour/level it's easy for an epic spellcaster to keep a stat boost up 24/7 (and this also means they have the boosted stat when casting it) but with 3.5 and minute/level stat buffs...

It would certainly ease dealing with him. The party could get it's requests across much easier. The problem comes in carrying out the instructions in the future when he's dumb again. That's why I think it would fail.

I would say it fails.

Dumping the crate isn't going to be as accurate as throwing individual objects. Hitting the bear is going to be iffy. I'm inclined to say crits hit, everything else is treated as a ranged touch against the bear's square, probably at -4. Misses hit adjoining squares. Resolve splashes. Now...

Spring-load the lock. The lock remains unlocked only so long as you hold the key turned. Furthermore, make it so it can't unlock if there is any tension on the door. (Make the bolt with a head that's bigger than the shaft. This goes into a hole with a solid outer part and then an inner part...
