Maybe my players are more suspicious than yours but mine usually proceed at the mind-blowing speed of 30 feet per 10 minutes or slower. A small dungeon (2 hallways and 4 rooms) usually takes 3-4 days to explore. But that is beyond the point. Saves are reactionary. How long does it take for a...

What about using the Profession skill (like bartender, waitress, messenger, etc.) to gain new contacts? And not just contacts of people you can sell to, but all kinds of contacts: everybody has to eat, most everybody in mid-evil times drinks, anybody can get or send a message, etc. Such...

If you can take a week off for Craft, you can also take a week off for Perform or Profession. Ciao Dave

A craft makes something physical. A profession provides a service. While opening a lock is a service, a locksmith also makes something physical for sale. I tend to think of craft as a higher priority than profession. In other words, ask if something is made first, if so it is a craft. If not...

Profession (herbalist) should also give +2 to Craft (apothecary). Craft (locksmith) should give +2 to Open Locks There are many more. Ciao Dave

Animate Dead has an upper limit on the HD of skeletons and zombies. You can't make any skeleton or zombie with more than 20 HD. No matter your caster level. Ciao Dave

Thank you. Intro to Monsters, why didn't I think of that? Ciao Dave

In preparing for tonight's game, I noticed something I had not seen before. Constructs are —Proficient with no armor. And Nonproficient with Armor Worn: A character who wears armor and/or uses a shield with which he or she is not proficient takes the armor’s (and/or shield’s) armor check...

The visual effects of Mirage Arcana would have to allow for the reduced speed of victims, making distances seem twice as far and steps of all creatures move twice as far as they actually do. (This is supposing that all creatures have enough weight to walk on the bottom (16 pounds for Medium...

Most doors nowadays are hollow core, thus lighter. Here in the south, even front and back doors are sometimes hollow. In older homes (60 years or more), all doors are solid but are also usually thinner, maybe 3/4 inch thick. Instead of the normal 7-8' x 3'2" or 2'6", you'll find 6-7' x 2'8" to...

I was going to link to this article but I could neither find nor remember where I found it, so I am copy/pasting it instead: Weights for a Few Unusual Items The equipment tables in the Player's Handbook don't quite cover everything a character might decide to pick up and carry. Here are weight...

But the sorceress would still lose (suggestive) control after the spell expired, when control would revert back to the evil cleric. Another question: Would the wight count against the evil cleric's number of undead commanded while under the suggestive control of the sorceress? Ciao Dave

Normally you make a Hide check as part of movement=Normally, you have to move. The exception for that is listed after that (this is the part where usually does not apply): However, hiding immediately after a ranged attack (see Sniping, above) is a move action. Usually, none: except for...

Since HIPS is just using the Hide skill and the Hide skill either requires a move action or can be done as part of movement to activate; I don't see how a Shadowdancer can hide after a Shadow Jump, which, like Dimension Door allows no actions after the jump. No actions = no movement = no HIPS...

I agree Nifft, the use of feats to modify the first casting should have no effect on the second casting. Ciao Dave

What about a crystaline creature with Magic Fang? Ciao Dave

I would think it would not be maxed. Once a day means once a day. Repeat Spell is not a way around that rule else it should have more levels attached to it. Ciao Dave

If you pull a post from before 3.5, there are likely to be several differences. Ciao Dave

The first line in the spell description disallows magical objects. Boldface added by me for clairification. Ciao Dave
