    DMs against the Magical Wal-Mart

    Forgotten Realms has specific magic shops set up. One chain of them, employs a central storage location, with nodes that sell said items through what amounts to teleportation. Then there are the Red Wizards, who make it their 'business' to mass produce magic items in order to aid their goals...

    Is it just me or do any of you think Speed Factor on weapons should be brought back?

    Wee finished adjusting the spreadsheet for my little needs. Would it be ok if I posted it for others to see Darklone? [ Edit/Add Fun Summary ] Without accounting for the 20 'all-hit' (tilts in advantage of the slower weapon, but not significantly), the Greatsword/Dagger conflict appears to...

    Is it just me or do any of you think Speed Factor on weapons should be brought back?

    Damage does result in some interesting results, and it does necessitate changing/acknowledging that weapon damage needs to be accounted for, thankfully most of them aredone for ya with the EQRPG :). EQRPG does acknowledge the problem of the light weapon duel wielders resulting in changes to at...

    Is it just me or do any of you think Speed Factor on weapons should be brought back?

    I personally like the EQRPG method of weapon speed determining the rate of iteratives. SKR's arguments tend to falter if you aren't using the initiative method of weapon speed. Changing mid-stream doesn't result in much of a problem (Except as mentioned below), it simply changes the rate at...

    DMs against the Magical Wal-Mart

    I find it odd that people assume that the 3.5 ruleset allows for this 'magical wal-mart' type idea. In fact, if you read over the rules for city wealth and the like, it almost certainly not the case. Unless you happen to live in a Planar Metropolis. The answer is simple, when your players...

    Epic - Wish

    This should probably be in the House Rules forum, but anyway :). At a glance, I have to agree with James McMurray about it. It does make spontaneous (or other limited spell knowledge) spellcasters a bit more powerful on their relative scale. Also, if you're having trouble with XP Burn spells...

    Traps with location/proximity triggers = Rogue killers?

    Remember, Dwarves and Elves get incidental Search Checks as well.

    OFFICAL ERRATA: Hit points *DO NOT* change in polymorph

    Sidenote, Italics are not a good idea (I thought it was italiziced to desiginate at first), since those are difficult to distinquish :).

    Question About Epic Spell Slots

    Also incorrect. You gain epic bonus slots from all appropiate knowledge skills. There is a specific example of a Wizard/Cleric with Epic Spellcasting getting 2 Arcane epic-spell slots (from Knowledge (Arcane)) and 3 Divine epic-spell slots (from Knowledge (religion)). I believe there was...

    Silence counterspell?

    Ya know, after reading Otiluke's Dispelling Screen... However, it should be noted, that Otiluke's Dispelling Screen would actually only stop the attempt to throw a stone that has had silence cast upon it into the area, not the Ground-Target Area Effect of casting the silence spell.

    Is this Legit? (Yahoo Broadband promotion thingy)

    Interesting note that you may want to look into. There is a software option that can actually do a good deal to increase 'actual' speed (still limited by the modem medium however). It mostly helps out handling latency issues. My isp used to do that with it's cable service actually. Anycase...

    Question About Epic Spell Slots

    Correction, he can only make USE of the feat (to cast Epic Spells) with the feat. Read the epic spell section... The only contingent for gaining epic spell slots are your ranks in the appropiate knowledge skill. You have read the epic spell section I hope too? Again, given that there is NO...

    Silence counterspell?

    Hmm, I think in part, the argument is that it isn't an Universal Counter. It can only counter one Silent spell, and that is Silence. And even then it would have to be used in a different manner. Although I happen to agree with the idea that a 2nd spell counters 'most' (all of the core spells)...

    Question About Epic Spell Slots

    Again, as I said, it actually conflicts within the text of the rules :). The feat description implies that, but the definition of epic spell slots (given in that section) neglects that requirement, and as such, I typically see as a redundant statement in the Special text for the feat (rule's...

    Question About Epic Spell Slots

    I'd say no. After all, do you want to effectively give your spellcasters a free Spell Slot of their highest level once they reach 7th level? Epic Spell Slots are defined as obtained for every 10 ranks in the appropiate Knowledge skill (although Epic Spellcastings does conflict slightly with...

    OFFICAL ERRATA: Hit points *DO NOT* change in polymorph

    Hmm just had an odd thought. The ability damage/ability drain effects would be limited by the minimum of 1hp/hit die rule. His constitution modifier in this example goes from +5 to 0. And therefore, he would lose an amount of damage equal to 40 hit points (8 hit dice, lost 5 modifier points)...

    Shapechange - Too powerful?

    9th level spells are that. Remember that SLAs don't get transfered over. I didn't realize that undead/outsiders were allowed by Shapechange. Honestly, the worst potential is changing yourself into a gnat/flea, flying inside someone's mouth, and then changing to a Colossal creature...

    OFFICAL ERRATA: Hit points *DO NOT* change in polymorph

    Yes for wildshape in Complete Warrior, (Nature's Warrior section). Con changes from 14 to 17, the stat block does not mention any hitpoint changes. However, it does result in an improvement to Fort Saves, and pretty much the other derivative stats are affected normally.

    D&D 3.x 3.5 DMG Errata has been posted at WOTC

    Actually, I think for any of the items it's caster level is important; and part of why I'm hoping that there is an increased cost for boosting the caster level of some wonderous items such as the belts, although I'm unaware of any such in the RAW. It -should- have a result (even if minor) on...

    Mad Mad House

    Not necessarily, they accept each other's "different beliefs" and will participate in some of the trials as well. Of course, it's also a matter of them being the hosts :p and it "being their house", and we are not quite likly to see more mainstream ideals being 'pushed' towards the alts. I...
