I allow arcane casters in my game to use the Master Wand feat from the Epic Level Handbook. As far as I am concerned, Psions cas do it with a regular feat, I see no reason why arcane casters can't too. The ability is of some use to a wizard but it is invaluable to sorcerers. I also allow...

Try the Eunuch Warlock prestige class in Oriental Adventures. (Just file off the "eunuch" part and the requirement that the character must be male since those are setting-specific requirements.) The class gives bonus spells known like the Eldrich Master but you can take those spells at any...

You forgot the Oil of Slipperyness. :D . . . I apologize in advance but it was too inviting to pass it up. Tzarevitch

I must say that I am VERY, VERY happy with the changes to haste. I had house-ruled haste to not allow a second spell the minute I first read it in my 3e PHB, but I am happy to see WoTC admit what I had been telling my group, that they couldn't possibly have meant that as written. Tzarevitch

Let my just clarify the points I was trying to make. I am not saying in any way that is is better for good casters to summon evil beings, I am saying that yanking a creature across the planes to your doorstep is not something that that creature is going to be kindly disposed to regardless of...

Well see this is exactly my question. the spell doesnt create the trap...you can cast it without that. So I dont see why a good caster calling a celestial would need to do the trap for that purpose If its a wizard or sorcerer who follows the same deity or even is the same alignment...

So if I summon a max HD trumpet archon to clean my toilets that increases the amount of lawfulness and goodness in the universe? Tzarevitch

I played in it, I didn't run it myself. Personally, I didn't think it was that good. I also didn't like some presumptions it used about the way the universe worked. It felt like it tried to be another "Return to the Tomb of Horrors" but didn't make it. Tzarevitch

I have something similar in my Rokugan game. I modified the original plague zombies the setting has to something more virulent because 3e disease rules suck. The zombies attack with their claws and disease or by flicling their blood at targets. Striking one or even passing within 5' of one has a...

I tend to run celestials Planescape-style in that they spend their time serving their deity's interests and the interests of the forces of good and light. I also tend to role-play them biblical-style in that they are not neceassarily nice people. While they won't kill a good caster for summoning...

Also, remember that the spell does not politely ask the celestial to come. Nor does it grab a celestial that is presumed friendly to your cause. It yanks the specified being out of whatever it was doing and dumps it in front of the caster. I would think that good or no the celestial would be MAD...

I largely agree but I prefer to decrease the casting time to 1 Action rather than increase duration. Personally I think the 10 or so rounds you get at mid levels is more than enough duration. My problem is more with the slow casting time and the fact most of the stuff you can summon is too weak...

The Lady of Pain has no problem with priests or other servants of deities, or even the deities themselves as far as any one knows. She only has two real rules that she enforces on penalty of death or the Mazes: 1) No deities are permitted to enter Sigil. 2) No one is permitted to worship the...

Cultural norms for the setting can take care of this problem. I run a Rokugan game where is is cultural tabboo to touch the dead much less steal from them. Society shuns you for doing it and the ghosts of the ancestors DO return to haunt those responsible. The PCs in my game have never done it...

If the monk isn't keeping up in damage it is no one's fault but his own. A barebones fighter with a greatsword does not significantly out damage the monk unless the monk isn't acquiring similar equipment for some reason or you are talking about a low-level fighter and monk. The area the fighter...

Monks cap out at d20 damage. How is that "so little damage"? Rogues tend to be the ones with the greatest difficulty bypassing DR because they can't always be guaranteed to be able to sheak attack their foes and they frequently don't have much strength. Elementals, outsiders, undead and...

I think the Bracers of Striking are in the Magic of Faerun book. Tzarevitch

Yesterday I picked up my copy of the Fiend Folio. So far I have been quite pleased with the book, but when I came to the golems section I noticed something odd - all of them seemed to have bonus hit points from an unknown source. I then checked all of the other constructs in the book and they...

Part of my objection to the class is that I don't see this "problem" that some are alleging exists. I read Andy Collins' statements on this and personally I think his argument is poor. If multiclassing causes a character to get "kicked in the groin" then don't do it. I fail to see why...
