There's some stuff in the Book of Exalted Deeds about using Diplomacy over time to change an Evil character to Good by showing them the error of their ways. There's even a 1st level spell in there that gives them a look at heaven and they get a penalty on the save or skill check or whatever to...

Races of Destiny: Chameleon It, literally, can be a Fighter, Cleric, Wizard, Rogue ... Barbarian, Fighter/Wizard, Mystic Theurge ... Basically in the morning you get to choose 1-2 ability sets for the day, choosing from a pretty wide range, and get abilities similar to (but not as good as)...

TANSTAAFL Go for Archmage. Not every character needs a PRC. If the storm-themed PrC in Stormwrack doesn't do it, then just ... call it a storm-themed wizard and follow pure Wizard. --fje

I don't allow Swarms to overlap, but I do allow larger creatures than Medium get eaten by multiple swarms at once. Seems to me this is a Sacred Bovine type spell that they made internally consistent rules for the new edition that turned it into a crap spell. Sho' does look cool when you're...

Basically, my Eberron GT Drow are exactly the same as regular elves but: Get - Darkvision 60', +2 to Saves vs. Spells/SLAs, Hand Crossbow and Rapier Prof Suffer - Light Blindness That's it. --fje

I'm currently playing a Barbarian1/Cleric13 character ... buffed to the gillies and using Strength Domain I have a reasonable chance of landing a full three-strike full-attack, if I don't dump too much to Power Attack. And, then, I think I topped out around 200 damage. Which, at this level...

I think most people feel that Tome of Battle was a significant moment of power-creep. Though that may be because I'm in their number. We're in the middle of an Age of Worms campaign, so I haven't had a chance to playtest it thoroughly, but I can't really see somebody playing a Monk or Fighter...

Well it's just got a delay of one round. You pump up the jam the first round with regular Inspiration, the next round they get that Inspiration while you pump up Greater Inspiration and the next round after that they get the GI bonus ... so they stack. Basically the fight has to be three...

Yea, I've always read that as they must be able to hear the Charismatic hero for one entire round before the effect kicks in. I.E. Charismo's initiative is 13 and he begins inspiring. Strongy and Smartypants go next and continue beating up on an unusually small Volkswagen. NEXT round, not...

Well, in my pulp heroes campaign I introduced the PCs to their headquarters just by describing it to them. They came together because of letters each of them recieved instructing them to come to the building. The butler delivered their missions on notecards carried on a silver serving tray. I...

Hrm ... where's the RAW on that? Just seems sort of odd to me ... why do magic creatures strike as /magic at all? I mean, I know THAT is in there, but is there anything that goes toward intent? It's sort of a bizarre rule if no other DR / Creature type interactions function that way. --fje

Looks about right. My wife is nuts for Honor so she was very excited when the news came down that T20 would have an Honorverse sourcebook. Then it sort of just turned into vaporware. I don't know anybody that would be terribly needing to play an Honorverse RPG other than my wife. The group...

I run my games with DMGenie, so I usually have a good idea of what their common loadout is. I build characters when I'm playing in DMGenie as well, so when I'm playing I have a good idea. Luckily my character has a high strength. He's got a weapon of legacy that he uses 99% of the time, but...

I would say: A corrupt and dissipated cleric from Breland would be GOLDEN ... find him somewhere in a back alley, guided there by shady characters and asking uncomfortable questions near rough looking folks. "The Father" or something like that ... "The Doctor", "The Priest" ... something with...

By resetting your inertia I mean placing the character auto-magically where it was he wanted to be with no attempt to even bring fundamental physical laws into play ... you're traveling a bazillion mega-miles per second, cast Teleport, and land perfectly safely in Bangalore at a stand-still with...

I always thought Redcloak was a hobgoblin ... huh. --fje

Juvenile? Sorc is pretty good for non-humanoids, I've found, and fits the dragon theme. Swashbuckler? --fje

I dunno if an Efreet could actually cast a Wish to create a magical item ... hrm. The cost for creating a magical item is 2x the XP cost + 5,000xp ... the 5,000xp is waived for the SLA, but would any additional XP costs be associated with it? Heck, I'd be summoning up genies all day to pop out...

You're right, the other guy is wrong. You can activate items like you have the spells on your list, but you don't, actually, have them on your list. Other than the Domain spells granted by magic you cannot learn or cast wiz/sorc spells. You can, say, use a Scroll of Magic Missile, but not...

Oh, I would assume that the Efreeti is more than glad to grant even the oddest Wishes of the characters ... it's his "in". Remember, these are evil outsiders. IIRC, in Arabic mythology, the evil genies are pretty much what the judeo-christian mythological elements in D&D are the...
