Entirely aside from the overarching social considerations of economics, the Profession rules have something to say about commoner income. Joe Farmer, a 1st-level commoner who has an average Wis and max ranks in Profession (Farmer), can take 10 to make 7 gp per week. If he has a family of, say...

Again, going by SR inheritance, "A creature’s spell resistance never interferes with its own spells, items, or abilities." Oh, it's up there. Or did you forget about this:

That's not quite true. As Ranes noted, the example given in the PHB is of a polymorph effect, but the SRD changed the wording a bit; if you look at the whole example in the PHB, the context becomes a bit more clear: When this section is talking about one spell "trumping" others, it's...

If you read the full description of SR, you find this: Assuming Magic Immunity works the same way (a logical assumption), the demilich can use harm, astral projection, and so forth with no problem.

Nope. If you want the lower half to be a monster of legend, spellwarped, [insert templates here] monstrosity, that's perfectly legal. Of course, if you try that as a player your DM will likely bludgeon you over the head with the DMG, and if you do that to your players as a DM you should...

This wouldn't happen to be the d20 Legend RPG, would it?

That's an absolutely terrible test. First of all, I'm the most rules-savvy person in my gaming groups (three of them), I optimize all of my characters and help all of the new players optimize as well, and all of our games tend to be higher-powered than the norm. By your standards, I'm sure I'd...

If Dandu's answer doesn't convince you, think of it this way: The gestalt rules say that if both classes being advanced have the same ability progression at different rates, use only the better progression. So think of the monk as having the class ability "If you take Stunning Fist, add 1 use...

Question: Why don't you want to just flat-out give the monk full BAB? An attack routine of +20/+20/+20/+15/+10/+5 for 2d10+Str at 20th level isn't going to break anything at all; in fact, it's fairly underwhelming. An archer-spec fighter at 20th can already trivially get the same attack...

The same reason barbarians get an AC, DR, HP, and a Fort save. You can try to hit the object (barbarian) and deal damage to it (him), in which case damage you deal is reduced by the object's hardness (barbarian's DR), or you can try to take it (him) out in one hit with a good smash (death spell).

1) Dragon Magazine is just as RAW and official as any WotC 3e sourcebook. And it's got just about the same awesome:meh:crap ratios as most official products--better than some, actually, like Complete "completely ruined the psionics flavor and mechanics" Psionic and Tome of "only 1/3 of the book...

It's in Dragon #280, page 62:

Each familiar would get the full benefits, just as the Extra Familiar feat states. Multi-touching chill touch isn't nearly abusive enough to require changing that.

The person I was quoting was talking about the "average commoner in a medieval borderlands setting"--I was clarifying medieval commoner on Earth vs. medieval commoner in D&D, not medieval human vs. modern human or the like. I didn't say they were familiar, I said they could be found anywhere...

Would they be, though? Sure, in the medieval period on Earth, most peasants would probably be racist and afraid out outsiders...but in D&D, the other races are common and can be found pretty much everywhere unless you have a setting that specifically sets out to make them rare--heck, a human...

I've honestly never seen a reason for humanoid monsters like ogres and hobgoblins to be shunned in society. Seriously, when you have things that look like this guy around: why would you care whether someone looks more or less goblinoid? As Terry Pratchett said about his Discworld books...

They didn't just change it for simplicity; they wanted space to make sense given the lack of facing. A 10x10 space doesn't mean the creature takes up a 10x10 space physically, it means that creature needs that space to fight effectively. A paladin can fit his legs around his mount just fine...

Note that this only applies to spells and effects requiring willing targets: "Willing" doesn't mean you waive your Will save, it just means that you can be healed or teleported away or whatever by your allies if you're knocked out.

It's 3e-exclusive, because multiclassing as we know it didn't exist in 2e. "Multiclassing" was a pseudo-gestalt limited to certain combinations for demihumans, and "dual-classing" was for humans only, required high stats, and had stiff penalties.

Response to Arkhandus, spoilered for off-topic-ness. I saw that part of your post, and am simply contesting the assertion that ToB is "anime" in general, and that one has to work to make a S&S-style warrior; my point was that ToB is plenty mundane by default unless you choose maneuvers from...
