Earth elementals and xorn aren't strictly allowed as cohorts, since they don't have a level adjustment, (cohort) or not. I'm not looking to go outside the rules themselves -- I was curious if anyone recalled any [earth] cohort critters from MM2, MM3, or Fiend Folio ...

Hey all, Aside from Mephits and Gargoyles, can anyone think of any good earth subtype critter cohorts? I haven't got my monster books available, but I'm looking to find an earth critter that doesn't fly ...

I certainly hope my Earth elemental won't be destroyed! The penalties for losing it are harsh! (1d4 damage to Str, Dex, Con). Of course, that's why I will have cast mage armor, and false life on good 'ol Rocky, and be ready to jump in with a bull's strength, heroics, shield, or fist of stone...

Ok, let me put this in perspective... here's a rough list I've put together of fighter bonus feats ... Awesome Blow MM 303 Str 25, Power Attack, Improved Bull Rush, Large Blindfight PHB 89 -- Bowslinger FRUD 24 BAB +1 Brutal Throw CV 106 Cavalry Charger CW 108 Mounted Combat, Spirited Charge...

No, I'm the player. I DM, and I'm not sure how I would feel about one of my players doing this... I'm playing a sorcerer with herocis, so I could grant myself with multiple castings (5 2nd level spells a day) Combat Expertise, Improved Disarm, Ranged Disarm, etc... that seems a bit much, even...

Hey all, Quick question -- the spell Heroics allows a caster to give the recipient a fighter bonus feat for 10/min per level, assuming the recipient meets the base requirements. Will multiple castings allow multiple feats for the duration?

Hey all, I've been dared to build an effective 6th level sorcerer -- I've decided to build a sorcerer 5 / bonded summoner 1 with a pet earth elemental. I'm trying to build a sorcerer who is more of a buffer / combat support character than mobile artillery. With the apprentice feat, I've got...

Hi guys, I should have been clearer -- I wasn't asking for input on whether these player magic item requests should or should not be allowed -- I had already decided (and given previous precedent) to allow it. I need help costing it out. Piratecat, thanks! Now, would you allow a magic item...

My players hurt my brain ... 15th level hurts my brain ... some input would be appreciated ... 1) ONe of my players has created a magic item (a belt buckle) that is a wondrous item that can be activated to create the shield spell effect 1/day. If the creator goes and upgrades the item to...

Hey all, One of my players wants to play a Paladin of Selune, since they have an Order (Order of the Crescent Blade) mentioned in the new Champions of Valor. I thought Sune was the only CG deity to allow paladins. Has this changed? Thanks!

Yes, but could I have some advice on whether I should allow it? ;) So, collective friends, if you were the DM, would you allow this bard PC to use Shadow Conjuration to replicate all sorts of random, obscure spells ... it *is* an illusion spell, so it should only be limited by the caster's...

Hey all, I've got a PC bard who's coming up on being able to take the spell Shadow Conjuration, and he's asked me a fairly good question -- with Shadow Conjuration, you can recreate Sor/Wiz conjuration spells -- can he use the spell to recreate conjurations from the PHB, or any spell resource...

Hi all, One of my PCs wants to create a magic item - A shirt that can be activated on command 3 times per day to grant false life. The cost seems to work out to (5th level caster x 2nd level spell x 1,800 x 3/5) = 10,800 gp. Does this strike you all as a reasonable magic item?

So, I picked up the Spell Compendium this weekend -- very nice! But I have some questions/observations having gone once through the book ... 1) All the 'named' spells have had their creators names removed. Mordenkainen, Elminster, Ghorus Toth, Bigby, etc are no longer named in some pretty...

Hey all, One of my players came to me with the newest Dragon magazine asking if he could use the rules for the Imbued Staff (sans Familiar) rules. I read them over, and they don't seem too unbalanced ... getting a magical double weapon at +1 at third level is a little much, but hey, when is...

Hi guys, I'm looking for more of a story-driven line for the player to follow -- obviously in the Realms, if you kill a god you can take his portfolio, but if someone wants to become a deity with a portfolio in mind (magic item creation), what sort of herculean tasks should he be set to...

Hi all, What book deals with the rules for larvae, either as monsters or petitioners? Thanks!

Hey all, So one of my group's players wants his character to become a god ... specifically, he has the goal of becoming a demigod in the FR with the portfolio of magic items and their creation. This is an interesting idea, and I'm curious how you would handle this sort of goal? He's a 9th...

Hi all, Looking in depth over my Heroes of Valor sourcebook, there are a number of Initiate feats that require you to have the patron deity X, and offer the option of having ranger levels. In the FR, you *have* to worship a deity if you receive divine spells, and they've listed the nature...

I just got it, and gave it the once over, and it's got some interesting stuff. This is what struck me as personally interesting... - background regions in addition to the standard FR geographic regions - more initiate feats, now available for rangers and paladins, etc. - substitution levels...
