    What minor worldbuilding details have you added to your campaign world?

    elves are not born as others are. An elf begins life as a plant which spruots a single blossom which blooms into a pixie; after ~80 years, the pixie forms a coccoon which gives rise to the fully-formed elf. Thus: -there are no elven children -half-elves can only be born to a male elf and a...

    Sentient dungeon?

    The Manual of the Planes(3.0, but as far as crunch goes I see no pertinent differences) has the living plane called Neth.

    Inspiring Picture

    I'm going to have to agree with Umbran.

    Long campaigns

    A PC in my last game went from 1st to 12th ... that campaign seems to have died, but may just be on hiatus. I blame christmas and the new season of 24. No, I've never played or DMed a game from 1-20; I'd like to.

    Prestige class with full mainfester progression

    Yeah ... the Illithid Slayer only misses a single level of it though. Wait ... why the hell doesn't metamind have full progression?

    Grappling: Actions while pinned

    That's the entire entry for being pinned right there; the bold part implies to me that the attack is possible. You're right, about the autohit, however. I think it is a house rule I've played with so long(since 2nd actually) that I mistakenly thought it was RAW. The attack can be made as per...

    Touch Spells and missed attacks

    Yes. Holding the charge doesn't take an action; it's the 'consequence' of missing with that attack. Just don't touch any allies before Shocking that guy next round(or casting another spell and thus dissipating it).

    Grappling: Actions while pinned

    In the scenario described, I would rule that not only does the spell affect the grappler, but no attack roll is needed because it's a touch attack. The spell is already cast (if I understand your meaning of 'active' correctly) so there's no concern over 'casting while grappled'. All that remains...

    Use Magic Device -- Scrolls

    I would say that the spell is cast at that point because if the rogue is deemed to have the spell on his list AND is considered of sufficient caster level(UMD check = 33+) then a roll would not be required just as one is not for a 13+ level caster with said spell on his list. The rogue's...

    How Often Does Your Group Cast Stoneskin?

    I've only seen two spellcasters IMG get high enough to cast it. One was a wizard, the other a sorc. The wizard took it and cast it a fair amount. It tended to be one of his typical battle prep spells.

    Flukes!

    I'd let the disnitegration happen; but the BBEG is so B and so E that he's able to hang on long enough to deliver some dramatic last words as his body separates into small glowing dust motes around him.

    Wolverine type char

    I think the King of Smack build on the WoTC CharOpt boards was supposed to be similar to wolverine. So Psychic Warrior may be a good class to model wolverine; add the feral template for the fast healing. On a side note, anyone remember Psylocke? I always thought she was a main inspiration for...

    Help to CR/LA this thing?

    Okay, I've created a separate monster entry for the creature without any class levels. It's quite a weak little beastie, but I mean these things to be the antagonists in my current game and will most likely use the original write-up for the standard one encountered. The real entry I can use in...

    Help to CR/LA this thing?

    Thanks, demiurge 1138. Your'e right; those class levels are where the abilities come from. I wanted the creature to have the 'scorn earth' ability yet for some reason felt it needed to meet the prereqs for becoming an elocator to have it. Sorry for such a confusing document. I think I should...

    Help to CR/LA this thing?

    This is one of my first attempts to create a monster; I was hoping for some help on what sort of CR and LA this creature would warrant? Also any suggestions on improving the design would be appreciated. Thanks. Edit: a couple things I missed in the .doc.

    What's Wrong with Virtual Tabletop Play?

    This thread has made me curious about trying some gaming through VoIP; really the only thing I need is a headset and I might have one somewhere around here. I am one who can't even talk fast enough top convey my ideas, let alone type; but a headseyt with webRPG ... hmm.

    Evaluation of 3.5 Rule Changes.

    Buff spells. I never liked the shorter durations of the buff spells, just because it leads to more bookkeeping; but then, for that reason I've never really liked them. A temporary stat-change can be a big pain in the bum; shorter durations just exacerbate it.

    Experience tables?

    That one is more simple as it is formulaic: at each level, you need to gain 1000 x level XP eg. a level 1 char needs 1000 xp to advance; level 2 needs 2000 more(3000 total) to advance; level 3 needs 3000 more(6000 total) to advance, etc.

    How do you define "power creep", and why do you think it's bad?

    That's not so much a 3.5e ability as a 'Forgotten Realms' ability; not to mention a good example of the main reason I don't play in the realms.
