Easy and no house-ruling involved: the trap remains an independent agent per normal. Most would simply be zero-damage “thrown splash weapons” placed using a ranged touch attack roll vs AC5 to hit a specific grid intersection, rolling 1d8 for misses per the SRD (Special Attacks :: d20srd.org)...

oops forgot the burninghands example was triggered by Alarm .... so the creator likely used the spell's Touch option since otherwise the object triggers every round a creature of Tiny or larger size besides the caster comes within 20' radius of the trapped object making it extremely dangerous to...

Its true traditional mundane mechanical traps (arrow traps, falling blocks, pits, &etc) are fixed to a particular location, however the Trap section's next paragraph indicates "Magic traps are further divided into spell traps and magic device traps. Magic device traps initiate spell effects when...

Not only is it possible/feasible, the SRD provides a number of examples in the Trap section. Your desired spell grenade is simply the Burning Hands trap applied to rock -- although personally, I recommend using a crossbow bolt with a trailing rope for increased range and easy retrieval. Its...

The Obtain Familiar Feat makes the Sor/Wiz class feature available to anyone because "familiars can be useful allies for characters of any class. Rogues can use a clever raccoon or crow familiars as an extra pair of hands or eyes in their work (to say nothing of having an ally to help them get...

Nope.

Coupla ideas for the remaining slots: Greater Spell Immunity - Your preferred role is buffing/debuffing so chances are you often risk having your defenses debuffed in which case this allows you to quickly restore/change your immunity to 1 spell of upto 8th level for every 4 levels you have...

I'm sure WOTC/Pazio provide plenty of example classed undead if you dig thru the books/magazines but convincing your GM should be easy enough if he accepts RAW. "Characters who take levels in an undead monster class retain all their normal class abilities, with one exception: A cleric who...

Granted you cant do much with a Trex, but you could use this 6th level spell to provide access to a Xth level ghastly humanoid cohort. One way: scout the local tavern for potential "recruits" then trigger a bar-fight and have a hireling kidnap your selection from the local jail to a...

Evil/Neutral clerics can attempt to rebuke/control whereas Good clerics typically just want to turn/destroy them. Gm/Pc agreement could change this for a particular case/deity of course. Animate Undead creates cannon fodder/programmable servants whereas Create Undead creates intelligent...

*. Prior editions focused on coherent stories with overall maps and even occasionally included details where that particular dungeon fits into the overall campaign world ... creating a detailed framework upon which to build. This is what originally brought me into RPGs and why I continue to...

Although the first pic is definitely a good render, driders were considered a punishment for failed worshipers thus it seems ignorant to depict Her as such - therefore I always pictured her natural form to be a shapely six-armed female drow with eight spider eyes set above a pair of fanged...

Given this cross-thread a look as it describes several of the better chronomancy works to date. http://www.enworld.org/forum/rpg-industry-forum/228838-charke-publishing-chronomancer-time-travel-everyone.html Also...

I'vn't picked up the module yet - but would think Improvements would be per-city on the presumption frontier towns/farming communities generally begin with the intentions of being self-sufficient so should have sufficient resources/manpower to undertake the improvements independently from the...

I'll concede your preference and leave it to the numerous Min-Maxers to point out just how unbalanced WOTC's own writings can be. Being solely focused on a particular school implies he'd be far more familiar with all of the available spells/etc for that subset and thus justified in selecting...

The brief reviews I've found regarding "Slaves of the Moon: The Essential Guide to Lycanthropes" imply its an excellent source book specific to lycanthropes, making it a useful starting point for a general animal-shaping class? Can anybody confirm?

I sense a July-4th joke in there ... lol Back on topic, I agree it might be wise to keep the General/Other forum bc as mentioned, the 4e folk tend to gather together, the Legacy DND forum is mostly d20/v3 discussions so leaving here as-is provides a convenient place for discussions NOT...

Exactly. WOTC seems to follow an unwritten(?) policy to ignore ALL third-party/OGL material as a matter of course to avoid providing the competition free advertising and/or the appearance of showing favoritism, a limitation you and your GM need not adhere to.

Based upon Dannyalcatraz's link, Im picturing someone finding an old motorcycle key with a name scratched into it - which a bit of research reveals to be a WW2 soldier killed during a particularly brave act. He ends up keeping it unsure how to find the deceased's next of kin, and rightfully...
