    Shooting arrows through a Wall of Fire

    When using a "common sense" argument here, keep in mind exactly how much faster an arrow is moving than a person. According to this, arrows travel at about 56.7 m/s. (That's 127 mph.) I'm not so sure a heat source will ignite even the fletching on the arrow with such a fleeting time of...

    Psionically powered non psionic classed characters?

    Or you can take a warlock with already great staying power, and add Greater Psionic Shot to his eldritch blast. ;) Yes, that's really the only point of the feat. It even states in the feat description that: As a psionic character, you gain a reserve of 2 power points and can take psionic...

    Book of Nine Swords Eternal Blade half-elf?

    That's true. There wasn't much debate about this line, after all: T.T

    Can you dispel Power Word, Stun?

    It has a listed duration, so it's possible to dispel it. Power word kill seems to be the only one which isn't (having a duration of instantaneous.)

    Weapon Augment Crystals are wrong and dirty

    I think the armor ones can be applied to bracers of armor, actually.

    MIC - Healing Belt errata?

    I'd agree with this. A cleric character of mine bought it, but has only used it so far to lay the smack down on undead. 4d8 damage no save is pretty nice. On the other hand, I'm not really clear on whether you'd be able to hold the charge on a miss, which possibly offsets the no save. And in...

    What are the rules for re-stringing a bow or xbow after snapped string?

    Apparently, it's really easy. I've never strung a bow, but I imagine it does depend on how complicated the bow is. In contrast with the other page I linked to, this makes it seem more complicated. Perhaps make it something simple like a DC 12-13 Dex check which provokes an AoO. (So a...

    Assay spell resistance and wands?

    Presumably it work's through staves, though, since they use your own CL.

    Too powerful? What am I missing... (please help)

    Hmm, your local gaming store has an ...interesting... selection of dice. :P If you want to compare arcane vs. psionic blasting power, better to use the warmage or sorceror as the basis, not the wizard, wizards hardly being the optimal choice for blasting.

    The "Price That Magic Item" Game!

    Two things: The number of dice rolled is irrelevant. 4d8 is average healing of 18hp, and you could get that with Cure Mod at 9th level, or (out of combat) vigor at 5th level. (Wands of vigor are literally twice as good as wands of CLW for out of combat healing.)) So you're overestimating the...

    Does detect magic detect everything???

    3 rounds is also the magic number for an assassin's death attack. ^_^

    Is there a 'theurge'-class for druid/clerics?

    Why would you want to? Chances are the druid wouldn't get any Wild Shape progression... and lagging X levels behind in clerical spells means that the feared CoDzilla wouldn't really be as powerful.

    Hydras and AoO

    It is very simple: the rules for a hydra are badly written, and it's impossible to determine what was intended. Hopefully they put it in the FAQ soon, but in the meantime just rule however you want.

    The "Price That Magic Item" Game!

    Well, anyone who has 5 ranks of balance. Given that it's not even a class skill for fighters... (And besides, what if you're Str is higher than your Dex? Does this item then penalize you?)

    Dark Blessing

    Actually, restricting it to a spellcasting class (cleric) makes it not quite as obscene. The LA is a big hit to casters. It's pretty easy to adjudicate. If the DM notices that the drow cleric is really suffering from his LA, they can allow this feat to be taken, working it into the story as...

    Shadow Creature Balanced?

    Pixie is one of the most potent PC creatures out there at high levels, they get: –4 Str, +8 Dex, +6 Int, +4 Wis, +6 Cha. Dodge and Weapon Finesse as bonus feats permanent invisibility 60' flight (good) SR 15+level DR 10/cold iron If you think that this is "nothing of note"...

    MIC: Ironward Diamond....Overpowered?

    Have you ever known anyone to buy one of these items? And keep in mind that the 10 uses per day is going to make a difference, especially at the level where this thing is likely to be bought.

    D&D 3.x Monk 3.5

    With those stats, then yes, you are. The str monk is doing about 40% more damage. There's plenty of other bonuses to damage which do make the difference more negligible, but it's worth actually looking at the numbers instead of making false assumptions.

    Augment Summoning Question

    I think you need it for the feat in PHB2 which lets you bring in monsters with a low level buff (Invisibility, Bull's Strength etc.) already active.
