Hello Everyone, Today I picked up the new Magic Item Compendium (MIC) from WotC, and so far it looks pretty darn cool and useful. I did notice something, though, that prompted me to ask a question to all y'all. Is WotC's intent that the MIC and the DMG be the sole standard sources of magic...

I'd like to chime in as being one of those who has read Ptolus from cover to cover. It look a long time...I had a long break during the city district section...but I eventually made it through. It's funny, I used to read every RPG book I bought cover-to-cover, but I don't anymore. I usually...

Eye-Patch Dude Hey All, Is the actor that plays the eye-patch dude the same actor who played the djinn in the movie Wishmaster? Later, Atavar ----- "If a man walks alone in the woods, talking to himself, and there is no woman there to hear him, is he still wrong?"

By changing elevation you ARE often changing direction. Yes, your bird's-eye-view illustrations do show what appears to be a straight line despite the change in elevation. However, the fact is that the attacker is NOT moving in a straight line; your side-view illustrations show this clearly...

Those are pretty handy illustrations! I think they also confirm my original opinions that a) The fighter couldn't charge attack the beholder and b) you often can NOT charge on stairs. Here is what I mean: a) In all of your illustrations with the beholder, the attacker is changing direction...

That's what I was thinking as well, LostSoul. It also would make someone with the spring attack feat better able to do the maneuver since he can move before and after his attack. That all assumes, however, that the action is legal to begin with. The way I picture it, he is not moving in a...

I know you can jump during a charge. I know it's in the FAQ. My original post states this clearly. I am asking more specific details on what can be accomplished during a jump/charge combo. For these details, please refer to my original post. Thanks, Atavar

Hello Everyone, I read what the FAQ has to say on this, but I am still confused on one point. The jump rules say that a jumper attains some amount of vertical height during the process of performing a long jump (like the peak of their arching through the air). I also understand from the FAQ...

The "Official" Answer Hello again, It looks like the "official" answer is found on p. 75 of the FAQ. In summary, I believe it says the following for my situation: - The grappled dragon can make ONE attack with ANY of its natural weapons at a -4 penalty for regular damage. - The grappled...

Thanks for the info! A follow up question: If I go the "can attack with only one of his weapons" ruling, then which of the dragon's attacks can he use? Can he choose, or is he restricted to his primary weapon (bite, I believe)? Thanks, Atavar

Hey there, Last session saw a grapple occur between a tiger (the mount of one of my players) and a large-sized black dragon. I became confused as to how many attacks my dragon could get during a grapple. The grapple rules say that a grappled combatant can use an attack action to attack with a...

Hello Everyone, How should I handle the case of a wild mage (prestige class from Complete Arcane) who has the practiced spellcaster feat (also from Complete Arcane)? The prestige class reduces your base caster level by three, but the feat increase your caster level by up to four (not to exceed...

Last session I made an embarrassingly bad tactical mistake in the Shackled City campaign I run. The party was fighting a black dragon in close quarters. The fight was pretty exciting and sapped a lot of the party's resources. However, I forgot to make any use of one of this dragon's key...

I believe the three reveals for next week are: 1. The meaning of Jack's tattoos 2. Cindy's fate 3. Why the Others took the children/what happened to the children Later, Atavar

The Isle Files "Will Michael and Walt return? When will we get the Others' backstory? Just in time for the show's Feb. 7 return, 'Lost' producers Carlton Cuse and Damon Lindelof tackle the best of the many tough questions you sent in." http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,20010504,00.html?cnn=yes

I ran the whole thing for my players several years back. We had a great time overall. I converted it, though, for a Planescape campaign. Instead of the pieces being scattered across a world, they were scattered across the planes. The giant wedding, for example, took place somewhere on...

I DM'ed the whole module with three PC's. We all had a lot of fun. Here are two of the memorable highlights (although my memory's a bit fuzzy on the details): 1. During their time on Yggdrasil the party meets some smart squirrels (ratatosk?) that are drunk on tree sap. For some reason that...

Hello Everyone, I RARELY use music in the D&D sessions I DM. The one time I did, though, was pretty cool (although I doubt I'm the first to use it this way). At the end of the Rod of Seven Parts I played a loop of the music that plays during the award ceremony at the end of Star Wars Episode...

Hello Everyone, Is there any sort of game mechanic (i.e. attack roll, etc.) required to use the Deflect Arrows feat? The wording of the feat (e.g. "Attempting to deflect a ranged weapon...") seems to imply that some sort of die roll should be involved, but it does not describe such a roll. I...
