    Polymorph into a Girallon- use equip?

    Would you consider a girallon close enough in shape to a humanoid to allow items and weapons to be used? Speech? I don't think I'd allow speech, but the form has hands, stands upright, etc. On a side note- anyone got a favorite 8HD creature to poly into?

    Feat to combine caster levels?

    People are screeching about the Theurge due to the insane number of spells you'd get. I understand such a feat would be powerful- it'd need some serious prereq's. But since multiclassed spellcasters are considered a poor choice due to the whole seperate caster level thing, I wondered if any...

    Feat to combine caster levels?

    Is there a feat- pretty sure there's no WotC one- that will allow you to combine spellcasting caster levels for the purpose of overcoming spell resistance? Or even further, for the purpose of determining level-dependent effects of spells? It seems one of the most common complaints about...

    A clever use of bluff?

    HIJACK!!!! Okay, buddy, you asked for it. How many of you play with women in your games, and what have you found the differences in play style to be? Our group has one woman in it- hopefully to have another soon- and I've noticed that she prefers roleplay over tactics. Hardly a surprise...

    "I barf on the troll..."

    starve and suffocate While starving the troll might take some time, burying the blighter should do the trick. Suffocation damage doesn't regenerate.

    D&D 3.x 3.5 - Bbb?

    From the SRD 3.5: So, yeah. Sorta. But 25gp/page? I thought it was 100gp/page with spells taking 1 page/lvl. Also note that instead of allowing X spells of any level, that it's got 1000 pages to use as you see fit.

    Charged per day magic item creation

    Minor hijack here... What if you've got an item that has more than one ability, each ability draining a certain number of charges, with a certain number of charges renewing each day? Haven't seen an item like it and wonder what a good estimation would be. Here's an example of what I mean...

    Can Oozes be Stunned?

    of all the blankity blank so n so n .. sigh I read that section of Ooze descriptions in the MM three times last night. Looks like I need to read slower. Thanks!

    Can Oozes be Stunned?

    Sound burst cast on an ooze. They're immune to mind affecting effects- would sound burst's stunning be considered one?

    Invisible and holding one end of a rope

    Heh. Er. Yeah! It IS right in the spell description!

    Invisible and holding one end of a rope

    So, you're invisible, right? And you grab one end of a 50' rope. Does any of the rope go invisible? All of it? Some of it? I doubt all of it would, and lean towards none. Opinions? Sources to back them up?

    Spider Climb

    I've usually allowed spiderclimbers to use their hands for attacking and spellcasting. The fact that they need to be facing the wall, though, seems to be a bit of an impediment- even aside from the four-limbs-on-the-surface issue. I think in the future I'll rule that with a MEA you can turn...

    reducing Book keeping for Wizards and Clerics

    I use electronic sources, too- copy & paste from Acrobat into Word and you've got yourself a spellbook. Easier to do if you're arcane and only have so many choices, but is worthwhile for divine casters to put their most frequently casted spells onto a single sheet.

    Scroll Scribing time

    I don't think there's a hard ruling on this, but many people (myself included) play that you can create a single scroll with multiple spells on it in a single day as long as the price doesn't exceed 1kgp. Scrolls with multiple spells on them are often found in "official" treasures, yet are...

    Need Help with Invisibility Rulings

    I also wouldn't allow AoO's against an invisible opponent- UNLESS there were some way of the attacker to know they have a chance to hit while the invisible thing is distracted. Some obscenely high Listen check, maybe. Or maybe if an ally who could see invisible shouted "Now, swing NOW!" uh...

    Is the Sorceror as bad as I think?

    Haven't read all the thread (seems to be a bit bickerish here & there) so I'm not sure if it's been mentioned that: In 3.5e the cost & time of scribing new spells for a wizard is going to go WAY down. Seemed germaine.

    Disarming a Holy Symbol

    The more I look into this, the harder I'm finding it to adjuticate. Since it's not a proper disarm- there can't be an opposed attack roll with a non-weapon- and it's not really a strike object- not trying to damage the object- I'm trying to mix the rules for both somehow. An opposed roll makes...

    Disarming a Holy Symbol

    Since it's not a weapon, a disarm attempt vs. a holy symbol would use the Strike Object rules, right? (weilder's dex bonus, +5 to ac for being in hand) How have you played this out? Often the symbol is attached to a chain or something, and the goal is not to destroy, just to unhand...

    Aberration Attack Bonuses

    D'oh! I'd forgotten- I'd thought the size penalty only applied to AC. Thanks! Still doesn't answer the question about the saves, though. (edit) Though looking at pg 22 of the PHB does. Don't mind me. Nothing to see here...
