#1 Above = NO. There is a difference between "the forest where the green dragon Kizarvexius lives" and the Forest of Kizarevexius, where the green dragon lives. The first is asking the spell to locate where the dragon is, the second is asking to locate the specific definite location, i.e. the...

The problem with this is you are trying to prove your point using an extreme case as an example. Most creatures do not do nearly as much melee damage or hit as often as a giant does. Giants have cleric BAB and some of the highest average strengths and overall physical damage outputs in the game...

"Majority" of the kits my foot. Most of the kits gave you a small advantage in return for a small disadvantage. A small number of the kits (bladesinger being the oft cited one) gave significant bonuses in return for small disadvantages. In my opinion, they were a decent attempt (as decent as...

It is. There is no reason not to take it unless you just want something else. It is far and away the best sorcerer prestige class I have seen (athough bards can enter it too). Tzarevitch

That is the problem. There aren't many good sorcerer prestige classes and there are even fewer goor bard prestige classes. The best sorcerer prestige class I have seen by far is the Academy Sorcerer in the the "Age of Heroes" book for Dragonlance. It is outstanding and second to none. It...

Ok here we go: From "Faces of Evil: The Fiends" Alvarez: "the Purging Duke", is the inquisitor of the tanar'ri. He was once a mortal who was so perfect in his cruelty and brutality and so clever in his hate that he was rewarded by the nalfeshnee who judged him and he reached abyssal lord status...

Sorry. Actually I started to give you props too the first draft of my post (before I actually posted it), but then I saw that you had posted already. You are the other one who I figured would know the answer, but I also figured that if you knew the answer off of the top of your head you'd have...

The names come from one of the Planescape products on fiends and denizens of the lower planes. I think the title was "Faces of Evil" or something. I don't have my copy here at work so I can't give a quick answer. If you can, go to the WotC site and post on the post your question on the "Manual...

Personally, I dislike the barbarian and I have never been fond of monks outside of an Oriental Adventures setting. First of all, the name "Barbarian" is derogatory (the class should properly be called "berserker") and I think the 1st edition holdover of all of them being illiterate savages is...

The issue had to do with whether or not the paladin broke his oath not whether or not he is making a deal with the devil (or evil dragon). The paladin may not have broken the letter of his oath but he most certainly broke the intent which was clearly explained to him when the arrow was given to...

Excellent. I'll have to look for it again. Tzarevitch

Does anyone know if the Secrets of the Shadowlands has come out yet? Tzarevitch

Not really. It just had a favorable location. This was a Birthright campaign. The PHB mentions that areas of strong energy can block teleportation and this facility was sitting right on top of a magical Ley Line (sort of a magical river). Also, technically nothing stops you from generating...

I don't recall saying anything about it being well guarded. It was a ruin we were excavating. Besides we had 40 4th-8th level ogre fighters in our employ. The ogres (led by their 10th level fighter commander) erected the base camp and guarded the area while the wizard cast Mordenkainen's...

That is not much help for comparison because anyone with enough Use Magic Device can buy and use scrolls/wands/staves. Tzarevitch

I agree 100%. As has been said, the wizard can take the time to make scrolls and wands of spells he doesn't need often thereby obviating one of his weaknesses. The sorcerer can't even do that to help himself out because as you said he can already cast spells he knows a lot of times. If he knows...

After it reflected the first one back at the caster no one really wanted to try it again. We suspected that it was Wondrous Architecture that had a recycling spell-turning effect on it. It could reflect targeted spells but not touch spells. Tzarevitch

Not necessarily. A wizard could back off and take 15 minutes to slot in the correct spells to take apart the sphere. If the bad guy comes out after you, so much the better because he has left his protection. The fireball was just an example. Make it D-B Fireball to make the levels closer and the...

It is basically the same as all the previous versions before 3e. A creature has a certain fixed value which is equated to a CR rating. Take the creatures CR rating to the nice simple table provided and you can figure out how much XP that creature is worth. No more variable tables or...

Here is a better example: Party is attacked by a legion of ghouls while fleeing the necromancer's sanctum. Sorcerer: I'll fireball 'em. After blowing away the ghouls, that same sorcerer when later confronted with a held door while trying to flee the same samctum. Sorcerer: Uhhhh...
