calculate the cost of a magic item using bite of the wolf or bite of the bear, figure out the percentage of the wealth by level of what level it represents, that should give you an idea of a grafting cost / if it should be worth an LA or not. if you are sticking this on a human chassis as a...

had an occasion where one of my characters attracted an npc's attentions due to her actions regarding the death of his brother. in our case, the DM and i sat down out-of-session, worked out where things would likely go, how they would interact, and so forth. in-game, we made occasional...

1) saying any source material is not a problem, but i would stipulate that they have to bring it to you so that you can look it over in order to understand what is going to be used. even if you don't want to restrict options, you need to understand the options in play. 2) check their math and...

i believe epic level spells hold the top slot for most damage. being that they are uncapped, and all that.

there is a feat cosmopolitan in FR that makes any one skill a class skill for all your classes.

i would have it affect all pools of spell slots. if you are worried about it, i would use this opportunity to introduce the rule about curses / flaws in magic items that everyone seems to ignore (dmg 272). there is a 5% chance for all magic items to have something from a minor flaw up through...

yes, there was a rule along those lines. but not usually in combat - the potion miscibility table and the scroll mishap table. though, i've known a few enterprising groups attempt to get lucky by mix-n-chuck potion attacks on bad guys. i believe that it was from these that the idea of a...

actually, no. never heard of FR until matzica. we played greyhawk. mordenkainen was in the 30's, for example. or maybe that was just how my dm's statted the circle members out. i seem to recall that he was in the 20's early on, but his level kept creeping up higher and higher the more d&d...

huh, i had the completely different experience with 1e and 2e. looking at the level achieved by various significant npcs, both dms and players of my experiences had full expectation to reach an equal if not greater level. we may have started at 1st, but reaching 20-something or 30-something in...

however, waters of differing salinity can in fact create bubbles where such medium mix. the same thing happens with temperature gradients. you can have "bubbles" of hot water rising in otherwise cold water. at least until the temperature evens out.

check out the stronghold builders guidebook for some more ideas and fun possibilities. there is a section on walls and wall augmentations.

same thing happened with cortez in the americas. the native quilted armors were better adapted to the climate, and turned edged weapons just as well as the metal cuirasses they came with. quite a few of the troops adopted them.

ah, my bad. the piecemeal armor rules are in the Athasian_Emporium_beta_1.2.pdf, not the ds3-r7.pdf. page 16.

the 3.x version of dark sun is hosted on athas.org and has been decreed official material by wotc. they have a very handy partial and mixed armor type rules for calculating the AC of piecemeal armor. might be right about what you are looking for, or at least some good ideas worth reviewing...

oh, my apologies, i'll just have to go reread it then. i must have missed it.

azure talent + incarnum fusion + psionic meditation + high concentration skill + sangehirn prestige = heal every round, all day, all night.

starting simple, for example, the athas.org dark sun books. athas is the licensed source of 3.x dark sun materials as per WotC, which license has never been rescinded. birthright, spelljammer, and planescape all have similarly licensed sites and pdf releases. the mystara site has declined to...

i do not see the official content from athas, birthright, planescape, spelljammer, ravenloft, or mystara, on the 3.5 list. was there a particular reason for skipping these sources?

well thought and well analyzed. i'm glad to see the few points i declined to elaborate earlier embedded among the many. i was looking for a clapping icon, but there does not seem to be one. ^^

well, i think i can clearly see both sides now. and i see valid and invalid points have been made on both sides of this disagreement by various parties. i think the simplest way to say it all is this: the play styles and expectations are different. so long as groups and players who agree with...
