    Protections for a high level wizard?

    There's no such reference, because there's no rule like that. Sounds like it's common House Rule (in the same vein as arbitrary magic item invention via Variant: New Magic Items in DMG).

    Protections for a high level wizard?

    Yeah, at 15th level I really wouldn't want to commit my one-and-only 8th level slot to mind blank all the time. Furthermore, detect scrying helps if your allies/party members are being scried on. :)

    How long to scribe a scroll?

    Biggest treasure scroll in the DMG is 6 spells, so I use that as a limit.

    Protections for a high level wizard?

    I personally think that detect scrying is a must (on all the time).

    Clerics, races, and domains

    Personally, I follow the line in the PHB that says: The bit about choosing domains for a cleric without a deity comes later. I've always assumed this is a variant, requiring a DM House Rule to actually become an option, because it contradicts the previous line above. Assuming the DM actually...

    Clerics, races, and domains

    Well, here's a blurb from the 3rd Edition Living Greyhawk Gazetteer (p. 169), which has more extensive writeups for the Greyhawk gods & their followers:

    Space and AOO's

    Oh, those poor Colossal dragons: how they wish they could escape from combat more effectively! (sniff)

    Blatant abuse of the five foot step?

    Completely academic point -- I suppose this is really less about "abusing the 5 ft. step" than it is "abusing the (ambiguous) falling rules". Even if there was no 5 ft. step in the game, you could construct a similar problem with someone doing a full-move that takes them just over the edge of a...

    Robe of Stars

    I agree with Shilsen. There's nothing in the description about them coming back. It's true that in AD&D 1st Ed. one star was replenished per day (but if you depleted them all, then that stopped). But that ability has been deleted.

    Contagion victim can pass disease on?

    SRD says this: Now, just hanging around with a diseased person doesn't actually count for any of these criteria. My instinct would be that if you'd need to be around a diseased person for at least a day to encounter a signficant chance of getting infected. (Mostly springing off the 1st Ed...

    Can you target a magic missile at an object?

    Actually, that's nice to know where that comes from. Thanks!

    Can you target a magic missile at an object?

    I'll chime in on this one, because I've been thinking about it recently. I definitely think the proper and intended ruling is "A". Note that there is no reference to "fizzle" anywhere in the core rules, that's something that people have created after-the-fact. Look very closely at what it says...

    Stats for Zuggtmoy?

    Frankly, that's what I'm trying to replace.

    Invisibility and Mind Blank vs True Seeing or See Invisibility?

    For what it's worth, my reading of the spells is that the Improved Invisibility & Mind Blank combination is in fact proof against See Invisibility & True Seeing. I used this this to effect with a sorcerer in a recent high-level game. It is a reasonable target for House Ruling by the DM in a...

    Blatant abuse of the five foot step?

    No! If you're serious, just stop formatting it at all.

    Unarmed, two-weapon, and natural attacks question.

    As I said in the Warforged slam thread: Personally I rule "no" on this issue. It's not explicit one way or the other in official rules or FAQ. However, my sense of the intent is that you've got one "off-hand" opportunity to potentially add one attack. If your left hand is being used for a second...

    Sweet! Thanks for that.

    Can you target a magic missile at an object?

    I was pretty happy to find that. :)
