    [REDACTED]

    thread necromancy but this was just posted to facebook today proving octopi CAN walk on land ... so presumably the aquarium myths of their extended walks are likewise true. Octopus Walks on Land at Fitzgerald Marine Reserve - YouTube

    D&D 3.x Crafting costs minus provided materials (3.5)

    Yes. RAW states/examples how to create and expand the magical capabilities of a magical blade, so logically the same approach should apply to other items as well thus while the chances of stumbling over Displacing Bracers of Archery as slim-to-none, theres little reason why YOUR mage couldn't...

    Cursed Armor of Comfort. Meets your desired theme without incurring the cumulative(?) sleeping penalty

    Wizard with a humanoid familiar/henchman dressed in robes

    Flat-footed, surprise and initative.

    Correct, however "combat" begins once one side decides to go offensive which does NOT require both sides to be either aware nor able to attack each other. In your examples, whomever stated they are attacking when the door/elevator opens has declared/begun "combat" leaving his allies...

    Dieties of Pain and Suffering

    Pain has many forms. Presumably the worst imaginable for an extroverted hedonist is complete unending isolation. Changing the aforementioned single-deity to paired lovers would be a simple. Removing the Ring mitigates the punishment from complete isolation, to one in which the Victim may only...

    Contruct/Golem: Elemental Driver or Item Familiar Driver.

    The basic problem as I see it is the familiarization process bonds the selected object to its Master without changing its Type as it normally does (ie: animal to magical beast) so the result remains an OBJECT incapable of directly Experiencing existence. Thus although it might have a variety of...

    God encased in armor

    perhaps a god of lust imprisoned within a permanent flesh-to-metal effect ... rendering him incapable of experiencing the carnal lust s/he is reknown for, while a cursed ring of mind shielding renders him unable to even sharing such feelings by others vicariously(sp) ... effectively cutoff from...

    "How many roads..." - Command word question

    yes, and while easy to recall and useful in some situations, makes it difficult to then limit WHICH items are thus triggered. the more interesting question is saying a word/sentence is a free-action per RAW except when it triggers a magical effect when it becomes a standard action.

    Nasty evil scheme

    ok - so now the rogue has an unarmed witness (you) to his theft needing "removed" lest you inform the local watch. His obvious solution, while reasonable/sound, unfortunately triggers your undead wave.

    "You Are a Horrible Person" RPG Think Tank

    Email/private envelope each of the players their personally assigned side-quest(s) so both PC/Player alike only know each HAS one, but not the exact details ... so even If/when they decide to cooperate, the question remains if anything exchanged is truthful just as IRL.

    Elven Double Bow

    since it has TWO strings ... would it not double your base-number of bow attacks, regardless of whatever feats/etc you might also have??

    Casting spells in Antimagic Fields

    Paragraph2 of your quoted text confirms spells CAN be cast within an AMF and that "Time spent within an antimagic field counts against the suppressed spell’s duration." So while it would pointless to cast Instant/short-lived spells, it IS possible to rebuff/etc while AMF is up and could be an...

    Druid vs Wizard Lich

    hmm item of Anti-magic to reduce BOTH spellcasters to their mundane selves at which point the Druid let his animal companion prove its more than sufficient to defeat an unarmored elf wielding a dagger or perhaps a staff? The truly difficult part will be KEEPING him defeated after the initial...

    Changeling Claws

    Since you're focusing on natural claw attacks, consider Monk1# so you can enchant your claws and attack twice each round (-2 bab; however negate penalty using weapon focus(claws) and magic fang) for 1d6/1d6; +Sneak Attack when opportunity allows. then use Improved Natural Weapon(claws) to boost...

    Hiring mercenaries?

    hmm looks like the enemy snuck into the ranks!

    Hiring mercenaries?

    While financially feasible, I suspect the Interview (diplomacy/etc) would incur a hefty modifier as its doubtful many mercs worth hiring would recklessly endanger themselves by following a less experienced leader without a significantly higher fee; barring special circumstances (orders from...

    Entitlement and "standard equipment"

    Ahh see the problem. PlayerA thinks he's IMC where adventuring bands tend to be semi-organized cooperatives with the mutual understanding all/most treasure belongs to the GROUP to cover the equipment, food, healing, shelter, etc utilized as part of the group with unsold "obsolete" gear used to...

    enlarge person vs fireballs

    The SIZE of the caster is irrelevant to the size of a spell's effects. However presumably a caster could modify his casting to inflict half-damage over twice the area (with GM approval after prolonged research/trial-n-error)
