I don't think 3.5 is making any assumptions about the alignment of the party. If they can't breach the alignment DR then they can't breach it. Its as simple as that. They made their alignment choices so they deal with the consequences. Personally I think you are badly underestimating PC...

Honestly I have no idea, but as I recall, epic escape artist somehow gets you out of a forcecube which is impervious to gaseous and incorporeal creatures. As for the subtypes, most of them don't apply (except for air elemental possibly being gasous). There are many creatures that don't have a...

1) The trap is a binding circle it is not a circle of protection. Circles of protection hedge things out. If you called something into a circle of proteciton you are forcing it against the creature you called and you break the circle. Traditionally, binding circles prevent what it inside from...

I added a subtype in my game called "non-solid". Non-solid creatures usually have gaseous or fluid forms. They automatically succeed at escape artist rolls to escape any form of grapple or physical containment unless the method of confinement is appropriately fluid-tight or air tight (in which...

We have had the same problem here in Washington. We've had about two days without rain in the last month and a half. When the rain lets up it reverts to hot and humid (like right now), and then the heavy rain comes back later in the day accompanied by thunder and lightning. I want the rain to...

If it is any consolation, that exact same section of the ELH confused me too. That particular passage is VERY badly written and seems to say the exact opposite of what it means. As has been pointed out in this thread, the ELH was sloppy about the difference between an epic character's level and...

As I recall, a 5' step is not technically a move. I don't think it actually says that anywhere in the DMG but the rules ragarding the 5' step are different than the rules regarding a "move". Tzarevitch

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: BoVD: Babau - CR7??? Memorize GMW? We never memorize GMW. There is this wonderful fewfangled invention called a "wand" which allows you to not have to keep memorizing spells that don't normally see that much use. As I said, the problem with the sample group of...

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: BoVD: Babau - CR7??? Actually, CR is for for EACH time you encounter it not just the first. And as I said, I do agree that the CR may be slightly low (perhaps 8 or 9 would be more accurate) because that acid slime will probably cause some difficulties the first time you...

Re: Re: Re: BoVD: Babau - CR7??? It is not META knowledge. It is called experienced and/or Knowledgeable PCs. If you have some form of bardic knowledge, or have someone who has enough sense to take some ranks in Knowledge (Planes) then they HAVE reason to know what babau can do. Their...

No offense. If two babau are ripping your 10th lvl party to shreds then I'd question your party's tactics. I remember someone posting nearly the same thing like 6 months ago and I'll give you the same response: they aren't that tough if you remember what you are dealing with. If run properly...

As I recall, you still need Extend Spell to get Persistant Spell which IS useful, particularly for Clerics. My Ran1, Pal1, Cleric16 uses it for a persistant Divine Favor Spell every day (+5 hit and damage). Honestly I never thought Extend Spell was all that useful except for 10 min/lvl spells...

I must agree. Most arcane casters in the games I play in love the spell because it is so hard to avoid. It is THE paramount arcane damage spell. Its damage is not all that earth-shaking compared to powered up versions of other spells but unlike the other spells you WILL take the damage because...

Actually, unless that is a magically treated wall of stone or is somehow attended by someone it doesn't get a save. Tzarevitch

Didn't this issue come up before? Oh well, it might have been on WotC's boards. Here is a simple solution that i use. If the PCs are operating in the territory of some nation or something then use inheritance/intestacy laws against them. If the PC dies have a relative start a legal proceeding...

Any chance you can let me know if they will cut the duration on Delay Poison too? Tzarevitch

If it is any consolation, I watched the show pretty regularly and I didn't get the reference either until Jeremy hit us with the clue-by-four. (Whoa . . . It is wierd saying that 'cause Jeremy is my name too.) But then again I am 31 and I thought it jumped the shark after the "Glory" story arc...

Perhaps this is left over from my Planescape days but one does not pop up on their god's doorstep and receive an audience just to shoot the breeze or something. Mortals NEVER receive a direct audience with their deity without the deity specifically requesting it. Also, if he "just got" the...

I must admit, as DM I am not sobbing too much about reducing the duraction of the buff spells. I would've used 10 minutes/lvl personallty though. T he correction I really want to see however is for 3.5 to de-power Delay Poison and Greater Magic weapon by reducing THEIR durations. The Buff...

You are over thinking it. Two overlapping anti-magic fields are simply two overlapping fields. No more, no less. They can't cancel each other or affect each other in any way. Tzarevitch
