    Manyshot & True Strike

    This should work. As DR and any resistances apply separately against each arrow, why shouldn´t each arrow benefit from the spell? The same goes for hunter´s mercy. Both count as one attack. Orm

    Multiple flamings on a weapon???

    Didn´t knew that.

    Multiple flamings on a weapon???

    Well then, let the magic happen. I still am of the opinion that there are better ways to spend money on a weapon than multiple energy enhancements. YMMV. But it might be usefull when you a) know what monster you have to kill, b) this monster has vulnerability against the energy type you use and...

    Raven familiar can speak!?

    Good explanation

    Multiple flamings on a weapon???

    I suppose there are at least two opinions on this point. We could debate for quite a while. So, as the RAW are not clear, let´s call it houserule or DM´s call. I´m not saying that it´s not possible to have more than one energy type on one weapon. It should be possible to make weapons like...

    Raven familiar can speak!?

    Nice trick, but: emphasis mine.

    Multiple flamings on a weapon???

    And we all know that keen effects don´t stack. But you can put two different energy forms on a weapon. So what´s the problem with one energy form twice? As long as you have to activate them separately! But wait So as soon as you activate the second power, the first ceases to work. So still only...

    A bluff/knife fighter combo...

    Flick of the Wrist (S&S, CW): Quick draw a light weapon and make a melee attack in the same round. You can catch your opponent flatfooted. Disadvantage: Only once per round per opponent and per single combat Advantages: No bluff check required = auto success, possible for all classes (mind the...

    Breaking potentially dangerous magic items

    First, it might be dangerous to break magic stuff. Check the staff of power for it´s retributive strike. Beside of that you may want to check some fumble charts for some interesting side effects. Orm

    D&D 3.x 3.5 Rogue PC building help

    From those feats you mentioned Iron Will is your best friend. Have you ever considered some other feats? Like Imroved Initiative (possible extra sneak damage in the surprise round) or Quick Draw+Flick Of The Wrist (one extra sneak attack per opponent/combat without the need to feint) or Weapon...

    Spell durations - who knows?

    A caster should be able to estimate the duration of any given spell. After all you need lots of experience and training to cast spells. For medium/long duration spells that are about to end in the nearest future -like what you mentioned- it´s up to the DM to flip a coin or roll % or whatever...

    Small units of time - in game

    There´s the water clock in the PHB. So, there is a concept of small time units in DnD. Maybe they know about sundials as well. There are lots of rather simple ways to measure time known for ages. Concerning spells I don´t know. Maybe it´s kind of experience that you more or less know how long...

    Why would you ever get Burst weapons?

    Fine then. So that´s just the way we play it. Anyway, I would never like to carry a burning weapon with me for a prolonged period of time. Right now I´m playing a rogue10/fighter4/deepwoodsniper5 with a frost burst bow and a ring of spellstoring (hunter´s mercy). As a sidenote, in our group...

    Why would you ever get Burst weapons?

    As soon as you put down your sword the flaming -or whatever- stops. Or am I missing something? The burst is always on. That rocks. We have two of those in our group. Scary :)

    Magic Item Weights for Small Characters?

    Since the weight for normal clothing, armor and other stuff is halved for small characters, it should be possible for magical clothing as well. On the other hand, a cloak that can be worn by small and medium (or large) characters might have a fixed weight of 1 lb. House rule alert: A custom...

    Magical Items Inspired by Cartoons

    A stuffed doll in tiger form that springs to life by pure force of phantasy to become a tiger familiar: Hobbes from Wattersons Calvin and Hobbes :)

    Magical Items Inspired by Cartoons

    Is it from the Beatles movie Yellow Submarine? One item I think is really cool and absolutely necessary for 0 level wizards -as Rincewind- is luggage from Pratchetts Discworld novels. Not exactly a comic but there are a few comic adaptions.

    Does the Trapsense ability, for a Rogue, come into play in this situation?

    Traps are meant to protect. The contents of a chest, a doorway or whatever. As I´m playing the party´s rogue (lvl 18, total search bonus +25, disable device bonus +20) I tell the DM that I want to search a door or chest whenever I suspect it to be trapped. Well, sometimes I forget about that but...

    So far we´ve seen an Aasimar, a small Brass Dragon and a Pixie.
