    Magical items for children?

    how much trouble could a brat cause with an item enchanted with prestidigitation or unseen servant?? :) IRC there's a zero-level healing spell that cures a single hit point ... perfect for those daily childhood aches, bumps, bruises, and setting broken limbs. (if an entire commoner has 4 hp...

    CONTROVERSIAL QUESTION: Difficult Subject Matter.

    It would depend upon your campaign, but dwarves are stereotyped as being rock-rigid traditionists who strive to ensure their Clan’s survival over their own. Combined with the generally accepted exceedingly-low dwarven birth-rate, would certainly ensure ANY potential offspring would be carried to...

    android apps?

    Just upgraded my cell-phone to one running Android 2.x so am seeking any and all advice regarding applications, esp RPG Games and related. Having come from 11yrs with WinCE, two very surprising discoveries was 1) google contacts/calendar apparently don't interact (ie make new appointment for...

    Can a Lawful Good character be flexible and fun to play?

    While it varies by DM, the LG alignment is as straight forward as any other ... namely, the character is: * Lawful - - they sincerely believe and follow their religion's stated dogma - they follow the stated laws of the land (unless superseded by dogma) - they expect others to do...

    Shaping a Flesh to Stone statue

    Under 1e, you'd roll your system_shock% for survival ... so now days, I'd suggest rolling your Fort save for survival. If so, the result would have the permanent non-magical appearance of its new form, but none of the inherent knowledge/skills. Likewise feat(s)/training would need earned to...

    Sentient weapons

    Apparently Azuth knows how Torth originally bound Miirym and thus theoretically could redo the ritual should it ever become necessary, resulting in restoring her existing state either within Candlekeep asis or perhaps "freeing" her somewhat by tying her location to a specific portable object.

    D&D 3.x [3.5] Anti-Magic Universe

    it sounds essentially like Earth! The absence of spells reduces "wizards" to travelling carnivals practicing slight-of-hands and similar stage-craft and eliminates all but +1 masterwork items without properties as ALL true magical items because the underlying spells required during crafting...

    White Wolf licensed d20 stuff gone on rpgnow?

    publishers repeatedly refuse to sell PDFs to customers and/or pull what they DO offer without warning then wonder why piracy seems to be a growing(?) solution to the problem THEY willingly create??

    The need to kill

    perhaps the warlord has the tribe(s) doing a daily ritual whose side-effect is a mass-geas effect requiring they shed blood that day to avoid the cumulative -2 penalty??

    Antimagic Field vs. See Invisibility

    Concerro is correct ... the only person being affected by the AMF is the PC in the middle, unless your campaign previously stated AMF causes some sort of hindrance to NORMAL vision by being blurry, semi-transparent, or the like.

    Fantasy Gun Control

    while I dont have a problem mixing tech/magic, the biggest problem I see with guns in fantasy is WHY would the kingdoms bother?? as others have pointed out, early models where expensive, heavy, and highly inaccurate prototypes requiring equally expensive and dangerous to carry/store ammo, not to...

    Setting Caster Level Question

    the other thing to consider is ANY spell can be included in the trap, so you don't necessarily need to inflict damage ... entanglements, illusions, obstructions, and even buffs/healing are fair game.

    Alignment, Magic, and Style

    What color is a hammer? a bow? Magic, like ANY other tool, is colorless by default ... or rather colored by the intent of the one employing it. A hammer for instance can be beneficial for cracking nuts, constructing items, or smashing skulls. Likewise the bow, which while initially intended...

    Timestop+Otiluke's Resilient Sphere

    Think I agree with Ranger19k on this one ... ORS's description is of an area-of-effect centered around a particular creature so you're not actually targeting the creature per-se, but rather the space its standing/flying/etc at. however further on it states "Nothing can pass through the sphere...

    Different types of Superhero settings/universes and themes

    hmmm People, including the PCs, awake to find themselves among others in a small town, which none recall travelling to. The first few days prove interesting as some develop super-powers, others mutations, while some remain mundane or simply die. Over the course of exploring, they gradually...

    Paper size: what is the deal?

    untested, but 8x10 would be a 8x10 picture frame for artwork/maps and while also providing enough extra border for ring-punch binders without affecting the text??

    Selling Spellcasting During Downtime

    IMO the various good-n-services tables works in either direction on the presumption the NPCs are essentially "other" players working during their own downtime, with the tables representing the base market value established by the local guilds for the items in question who expects a predetermined...

    Craft Glass?

    ::shrug:: AFB but it should be a viable option since it was (is?) part of TSR/WOTC published Core rules; although might be considered "forgotten lore" needing either discovered in some ancient ruin/tome or researched if it wasn't reprinted in 3.x; the same as an other earlier/variant spell.
