    Do baby kobolds detect as evil?

    AFAIK, if you are using the 'detect evil' spell (or paladin ability), only creatures that are inherently evil show up. For example, devils have (Evil, Lawful) as part of their type, so these would be detected as evil, but a human or kobold with an evil alignment would not detect as evil. This...

    Proposed Solutions to "problem" Spells

    The word doc at the beginning is still the most updated. I've been too busy to update it again, but I'll try to get it updated this week. Some brief responses: Enlarge/Reduce: It is suggested the optimal solution would be to use the size rules, but I don't go into detail. Detect Evil: Good...

    Been busy, so can't update as often. Bump.

    How to counter Mordenkainen's Disjunction

    For artifacts, I would do something like this. The artifact gets a Will save DC as per the character, just like any magic item, *then* the percentage chance is rolled. It doesn't make much sense for a mage to be pretty much immune to a disjunction (via high will save) and for an artifact on...

    D&D 3.x What are the "problem" spells in 3E?

    Re: Enlage/Reduce. Hence the reason I say most people won't have a problem with the spell as is. Just pointing out it doesn't really follow the size rules too closely (cast it on an ancient dragon for example...)

    If Harm is broken, what's the best house rule for it?

    How about disintegration, finger of death, or phantasmal killer? They are save or die spells, bu you'll take damage (potentially more) if you make your save. Not exactly what you are looking for, but that's what I thought of.

    Even with a lower weight limit, can't someone still take a barrel of arrows and hurl them?

    Proposed Solutions to "problem" Spells

    I wasn't aware of the Sage and Reynolds suggested that Cleave work against Mirror Image. It did not appear in the FAQ, so I didn't list it.

    Proposed Solutions to "problem" Spells

    Oops. My mind went straight to double empower as opposed to empower.... Consider the document edited (see above). Still need to work on my list of spells....

    I lumped shapechange under polymorph self. The polymorph series and shapechange have similar warnings.

    You could have spared me some pain and not told me! :mad: Bad Thanee. Bad! :p

    Proposed Solutions to "problem" Spells

    I don't have a copy of tome and blood. I stayed away from the splat books after reading about Sword and Fist and Defenders of the Faith. My write up on the spell(s) is brief for that reason. I say you can use a newer "Version" of the spell, or create your own set of rules (which you did)...

    Proposed Solutions to "problem" Spells

    Thanks for all the good info everyone. I've added the additional house rules to haste, but I haven't reposted it above yet. Here's my current "list" of spells to do write ups for: Animate Objects Divine Power Divine Favor Freedom of Movement Forcecage – (again) Greater Magic Weapon...

    Ah, there it is. That's much clearer then, eh? I was going to look it up in the PHB, but hadn't gotten around to it.

    Proposed Solutions to "problem" Spells

    I can see how shrink item might be abused. Throw a small rock at your enemy, say a command word, and now its a boulder.... After reading animate objects, at least in the SRD, it appears there are not any guidelines about how the "objects" attack, their AC, hit points, attack bonus, damage...

    How to counter Mordenkainen's Disjunction

    I played with Disjunction as is and I have no qualms about opening with it. Alternatively, MD could be a "super dispelling". Mass Greater Dispelling one could say. Each is targetted with a "target uncapped greater dispelling". Then again, I guess that would be an entirely different spell...

    How long are your combats?

    Typically, 3-5 rounds. In bigger battles I've it go 10+ rounds. These are rare instances, usually with lots of healing and high defenses.

    How to counter Mordenkainen's Disjunction

    (Scream in background) I went back 10 pages looking for this before I thought, "you know, I bet it got bumped to the first page." Sure enough, here it is... Thanks Thanee.

    Proposed Solutions to "problem" Spells

    Yeah, I've been working around that one for a bit. The longer I think about a problem, the better my solutions. I'll also need to find your thread about it, there were some good suggestions in there, IIRC. I'll trade you. Review my write up on Creeping Doom and I'll write up Disjunction...

    Epic Level Character Class Thoughts

    Monk - I really think this class got the shaft at epic levels. He has the worst bonus feat progression (1 bonus feat/5 levels) while only gaining SR, Speed, and AC bonuses at his same slow rate. Honestly, 1 bonus feat/4 levels should be what the monk gets. Rogue - I must disagree about this...
