    Do Curses Stack?

    No; this is my understanding as well.

    Any brilliant tactical suggestions?

    I'm still scratching my head at all the air elementals - I realize that whirlwind form is neat, but underground, earth elementals are where it's at. You could seriously undermine the foundations of the ziggeraut without even needing to fight all the defenders, as long as you send dozens of...

    Book of 9 Sword Questions

    I cannot recall, but remember that the principle is to disallow multiple effects that increase size from stacking. Though that might not apply if the benefit does not actually increase your size. For example, Powerful Build still works even if a character increases in size.

    Ranger PrC questions

    Sorry, the name is actually Sun School. It's this tactical feat. (C. War, p 112 according to a google search.) It predates ToB. Whenever you move via a dimension door-like class ability you may make one attack at your highest BAB after. Originally it was designed for monks closing in on...

    Killing Deities

    Yes. Specifically, Mask's aspect of Intrigue, which at the time was part of his portfolio. None of which changes the main point of my statement, which is that it equaled hand-waving by the DM. There is no way in the rules to guarantee you get something like that; the DM would have to set it up...

    The City Arcana [3.5][Mature][Dark]

    My problems have ended (USA) and I presume that the site is working for everyone again.

    The City Arcana [3.5][mature][dark]

    Eliza looks at Dzax. "Oh, I couldn't possibly go with you into the cave - I don't exactly know where it is, and I'd only get in the way. I can show you to where we were washing, though. You'll be there to protect me, so I'm sure that will be fine. Just let me get my things and tell the...

    Science in Dungeons and Dragons

    Physical science is really, really weird in DnD. For example, fireballs explode with light, heat, and sound but cause no pressure changes. The fact that this is at all possible means the laws of thermodynamics are dramatically different. Chemistry is unrecognizable, as there are only the four...

    Steal Spell Ability

    If you're asking about the class feature for Spellthieves from C. Adv, go back and read the entry in its entirety - it has a general statement on how long spell energy can be held. Spells can be stolen with a touch if the target is willing, so I presume that spell-like abilities work the same...

    Killing Deities

    As DM it's a nonissue, so I assume you mean as a player. Well, unless your DM sets things up so that you can find a pre-weakened deity and off it (as Finder did with Moander,) or unless you find an artifact weapon capable of killing even a deity (as Cyric did) you're basically out of luck. The...

    Silent Image of a Fireball

    Sky is right; my first response would be to tell the player that he can do that only once he takes levels in Shadowcraft Mage, as otherwise he is trying to appropriate powers that he does not have. Paws, nice catch. Really I could see the use of a silent image of a fireball going either way...

    Ranger PrC questions

    The horizon walker is available in the SRD. The main thing to get is dimension door every 1d4 rounds (and then possibly Sun Style for an attack at your highest BAB after you dimension-door next to a target.) Fighters are better at fighting, but the Tempest requires some things that might be...

    Stalker of Kharash - Code of Conduct

    Didn't you say earlier that you let him avoid taking a Vow because it would mess up his feat chain build? Your problem here is that you need to fix the mentality of not the character, but the player, and the player is viewing all this through a screen of detachment. Say you have a bunch of...

    The City Arcana [3.5][Mature][Dark]

    The site appears to be undergoing difficulties. I'm not sure if it's at all geography-related (that is, some people might have an easier time logging in and posting than others) but I'm going to allow everyone extra time to phrase their responses to this last development.

    The City Arcana [3.5][mature][dark]

    Eliza blinks. "I . . . don't really know about . . . maps and such. I mean I've never used them before. I could probably take you near there, though! She said it was near where we were washing that day."

    The City Arcana [3.5][Mature][Dark]

    Right. If I review your post and don't contradict anything it's safe to assume I'm okay with you taking the stated action :)

    The City Arcana [3.5][Mature][Dark]

    Huh. I seem to have written us into a corner. Other characters may not have noticed the serving girl's desire to talk, but once she's talking they should feel free to join in the conversation. :D I'm assuming posting is slow due to the weekend. However, in general, I don't want to take...

    "Oh! Well . . . " the serving girl flushes. "I am not supposed to be bothering the guests. It's just, I go by that river too sometimes to wash clothing! It's bothered me terribly that people are disappearing. The other day I was out with some washerwomen and one of them said there was this...
