More information would be helpful. Specifically: Do you know if it will be a high magic or low magic world? What kind of stats do/will you have? Can you play a monster template, like lycanthropes? You've only played 3.0, but what books are available for this campaign? Do you care if you are the...

No, that's not what I'm thinking of. Man, this is bugging me now. I remember I had just leveled, and a player was talking about casting the spell that allows one to link everyone together at the cost of xp. When I was looking it up I ran across something that said you couldn't voluntarily lose a...

First, I can't remember where it says it, but you cannot voluntarily fail the save since you can't purposely do anything that causes you to lose a level. I know I've read that, but I don't know the exact wording. Second, you may be technically right. However, GR "reverses level drains" and...

In a D&D thread, somebody mentioned how they were being 'harassed' by another player (constantly charming him, or such). We've all seen this, players who want to screw with other players PCs or the players themselves. The idiot who thinks chaotic evil means he has to kill all the party members...

I don't know how 'cool' people might think this is, but ... I've run one world several times. In one story arc, the players are infused with temporal energy. When they arrive back at the town they discover that they are repeating the same day (ala Groundhog Day). However, the temporal energy...

Perhaps for newbies playing a new game. For experienced players trying a new game, man up. I'm not a mean DM/GM, but I am fair (some say it's the same thing). One world that I've run several times damn near requires a few characters to be arrested just to get them started. I like the idea, if...

From the D&D Glossary: "A creature with spell immunity avoids the effects of spells and spell-like abilities that directly affect it. This works exactly like spell resistance, except that it cannot be overcome. Sometimes spell immunity is conditional or applies to only spells of a certain kind...

I'm assuming you're talking ability score increases? My understanding is that any creature that is modified to a PC still retains his level dependent benefits. Of course, I don't have anything with me right now, so I can't confirm that. Otherwise, the creature would get the HD growth benefit of...

Well, in simo, it would depend on their actual moves. If C2 were moving away from C1, C1 would not get an AoO, or even a melee attack, depending on how far from C1, C2 is. That's where initiative comes into play. If C1 has a high enough initiative, he may get an attack. If C1 had to charge to...

Ad hoc? No, my rules have been well defined for 20 years now. And that's the problem. Back in the 90's, due to a special movement circumstance, I was forced to create the equivalent of an AoO based on movement. Unfortunately, when recently rewriting the rules, I realized that, in addition to the...

I was rewriting my 3.5 house rules, when I realized I had been inconsistent. I use simultaneous initiative as I find it more realistic, quicker and easier. Essentially, all it means is that everything occurs in a round's "real-time". The only time you roll initiative is to determine the order...

I'm sure he would agree that they work since, AFAIK, they are not dependent on an aura. See, this is where I think you could 'gotcha' him (if he didn't have his usual Globe of Invulnerability vs. Common Sense on). AFAIK, there is nowhere that it says an 'evil' descriptor means you have an aura...

AFAIK, there is no official definition of a corpse as an object. This falls under the category of "how does your DM define a word?" Corpse used to mean 'body', but that definition is obsolete; now it means a "dead body." A lich is a type of undead, which the D&D Glossary defines as being...

Interesting, I think that's one of those rules that people tend to read and then gloss over. I've seen a lot of people auto-draw as long as they have +1 BAB. I've actually had to point out that it was part of a move. Now, though, I see it's part of a regular move. That begs a question for the...

Stupid question time. I don't do/allow Psionics because of the scars from 1e, so I really don't know. When a psion 'casts' is there anything verbal, somatic? I'm guessing no. If there was, the PC could always say, "why is it when you gesture I start agreeing with you?" EDIT: really, if the...

I agree with dandu. I seem to remember finding it somewhere but realizing it didn't work and scrapping it for my own experiences. The standard Encounter Level is based on the standard four characters with four encounters. Thus it doesn't translate well into large parities, and, yes, the CR...

I thought you might want to check out this thread: Complete Arcane - Hideous Blow and AoO

Ah, but what if your god specifically tells you to do so? Which rule/concept has precedence? Your silly little code of conduct or a message from GOD?

I did say technically. There are differences all over the place, so are you asking about wording (like ex vs. ex) or the actual rules? I know for a fact that there are some, if not many, who will not use the d20 SRD for rules but will use the SRD. Um, no, even a strict reading doesn't say that...

Right now, I can't give you any answer to your questions. However, you might want to post this in the D&D Legacy section, not house rules threads. I'm under the impression not too many people view here.
