Force a cat to do anything, and they'll act funky. :P

Here's a reasonably streamlined version of sleep deprivation rules: If you don't get proper sleep, you need to make a Con check in the morning, DC 10. (For each hour of sleep you miss, you get a -1 on the Con check.) If you fail it, you're fatigued, and get a -2 penalty to your Con. Every time...

I have to say, I've never seen cats take much interest in mirrors.

Hmm, rats rely on smell quite a lot, I think. The best I can see it doing is slowing their movement rate as they are momentarily confused, but they'll figure out the illusion almost instantaneously. I'd agree that deciding ahead of time to let it work once isn't that good of an idea. Ruling...

Yes, but metagaming leads to anger. The GM's anger, and your suffering.

Dispel Magic and Glitterdust both have a range of 100 ft. + 10/CL, and so would have a hard time reaching an archer more than 1 range increment away.

A flying archer can just go outside of the range of invisibility purge. He probably doesn't need to use many shot either, since he can just stand still and shoot with rapid shot. Of course, if he's relying on sneak attack that won't work. :) But an invisible fighter specializing in the bow...

What does reliable even mean in this context? Is the PHB reliable? That's a pointless question. The PHB is authoritative; and to a lesser extent, so is the FAQ.

Working in the Society Mind (which is in Untapped Potential) would be good. Perhaps replacing the Divine Mind? (Both being psionic classes and all...)

You mean 10080gp, right? I'm not quite sure why you think the duration isn't taken into account; that's presumably taken care of by the level of the spell. (If an item duplicates the spell, then it has the same duration. A ring of invisibility, for example, only has a duration of 3 minutes...

This isn't an intrinsic part of being small; it's just something that both the small PHB races happen to have in common. I wouldn't call goblin (or kobold) a crazy race just because they get 30' movement.

A portable ram is useful regardless of which way the door opens. You're trying to break the door to pieces. It's only 10lbs, too, so most parties should have one.

This is kind of amusing. There's a psionic prestige class which has exactly the same mistake: it's clearly intended for wilders, the sample PC is a wilder, and yet it requires 8 ranks in Knowledge(The Planes), which is a cross-class skill for wilders.

There's also the fact that Cha should have almost nothing to do with physical appearance. (Look at what charisma modifies, and there are a lot of uses which have nothing to do with physical appearance.) You could solve both problems at once by making it a penalty to specific checks, rather...

lol! I haven't played that game in maybe 10 years, and yet sadly, I think I can picture that exact room... (It had a door at both the N and S ends.)

Eh, obviously it's open to interpretation, but when I read the phrase "smite evil with one normal melee attack" that identifies making the smite evil attempt with making a normal melee attack. You're not making a melee attack as part of smiting evil, the melee attack is the smite evil attempt...

Well, the description of supernatural abilities states that Using a supernatural ability is a standard action unless noted otherwise. And smite evil tells us that a paladin may attempt to smite evil with one normal melee attack. . As far as I'm concerned, that counts as "stating otherwise."...

A Crusader/Dragon Shaman could make a pretty decent tank/healer.

Note that you've also got a weapon in your off-hand when wielding a bastard sword in two hands. I'm pretty sure no one would even think of asking a DM to allow TWF with that setup.

I have fond memories of slaying masses of kenku in the old Eye of the Beholder computer game. They gave great XP, respawned quickly, and were easy to kill with spells. Eventually I found a bug which gave quite a lot of XP for simply passing over the same square of ground multiple times...
