Not sure exactly what you mean by powers ... however if you want something spooky that has been affected by the Barrens area, you can look at the Corruption/Taint rules in Heroes of Horror. So the companion will be corrupted/tainted and perhap use some of the special feats/rules in that book.

Really surprised that other Mac users didn't answer this one. But glad to be of help :)

I think your issue is that iTunes copies any music you play across depending on your settings. You are after: iTunes>Preferences>Advanced>General check if you have the box checked that says "Copy files to iTunes Music Folder when adding to library" This should be unchecked. What will...

Greetings, normally when a spell caster manufactures a magic item etc, they may have a "guest" cast the required spells for them. Would this also hold true for Craft Contingent Spell? For example can a Wizard with the feat have a cleric cast a spell for him? TIA

DR/Magic indicates that to overcome the DR one must be wielding some kind of magic weapon (note that DR doesn't affect spell damage). This does not include a the masterwork bonus which is not magical but based on weapon quality. Spells that grant enhancement bonuses make the weapon magical as...

Having more than the norm does accelerate learning of certain combat trees, or allow a truly munchkin character to develop. However if your group are decent enough you won't see much abuse. The concept of only learning a few feats in 20 levels is pretty valid, though. As you get higher in...

IMC I use the "you're not dead at -10 until the next round" method. I have found that it adds to the dramatic flavour ... the tension actually increases when the cleric (or other healer) must get to the character and heal them, sometimes sucking up AOOs to get there. I leave the decision to...

SWARM Template ... have you ever aggravated an ant's nest? Just watch out! And take the term Soldier Ant to the next level ... fighter levels, organised tactics, etc. What about a Fire Ant who does fire damage. Just some silly ideas.

It would depend on the group I am running. You can quickly assess a group's desire for exacting description after a session or two. I've had groups that really liked to roleplay things like checking out doors and sneaking around furniture. This gave me the impetus to place traps and so forth in...

Actually Robin D. Laws makes a good point in his Gming booklet ... that all types can fit into a group without a problem as long as the DM is ready for them. From posts thus far he doesn't seem to be a meta-gamer, more like a user of the rules. The d20 system allows all sorts of players...

I was under the impression that the class allows you to build things without the craft skill requirements and you can also do it with anything (any size). For example the demo-character has a lion.

There's a prestige class in Complete Arcane that lets you build constructs - Effigy Master I think.

I ran a Ravenloft campaign back in 2ed where I did away with all dice rolling by players. Even their character sheets didn't look like a standard character (no numbers just words). It was a lot of work on my part, but the narrative was decent and they really got into the roleplaying aspects of...

Actually some of the actors have popped up in other things as well ... since I loved Hawk The Slayer as a child I watched it a lot and the actors' faces stuck in my head. So I see them everywhere. Obviously Jack Palance is recognisable anywhere. The ruffian Hawk slays at the start is now a...

One reason I find alignment silly in certain situations. So a Paladin born into a society that fosters suicide bombers ... believes in protecting the innocents who cannot defend themselves against the enemy. They see the enemy as the evil people destroying their way of life for fun/profit...

My major change to druids is giving them Domains every 5 levels. At every 5 levels, a druid can choose a Domain from a limited list (Plants, Earth, Water, Air, etc) and they gain the domain ability and the spells are added to their spell list. I've experimented with giving them the domain spell...

Actually if I remember my Al-Quadim ... they had the equivalent of a holy fanatic didn't they? In fact if you ask most of those suicide bombers (before the act of course) they believe 100% that they are doing their god's will and that they are martyrs. Actually sounds like a Paladin to me. Just...

Hawk Slayer is a great movie ... very Sword and Sandals. Sword and the Sorcerer was a better production but it still had the same bad feel with a Sword that shoots blades out of the hilt. But to be honest ... my early forays into writing my own modules devolved into Hawk the Slayer style plots...

I know about milsims and the best time to buy from them is when something is just about to come out. They run some crazy specials sometimes. However overall I've found Amazon to be cheaper on average.

I'm in Australia and I've found the same situation with purchasing roleplaying books. In fact half of the time it is cheaper to order from Amazon with shipping than buying direct in Australia (even though WOTC has direct distribution here). The biggest savings come in the form of Amazon's "Buy...
