You don't have to use every single class. I probably wouldn't allow every class in my games. If someone had a 3rd-party book they found in the back of a rare books store, and wanted to use a class from it, I'd probably look at it, but strongly urge them to play a different class. The standard...

I'm not sure what kind of level adjustment you want on that, and I haven't made many templates myself. It's really awesome that you're listening to lots of 70's music though. ;) Anyway, I might make Noble a +1 LA. +2 Cha because they're cultured nobility-types. Double starting gold - not...

You've only had 59 posts. I've been here for a few days, and in a few more, I'll challenge that number. You've been here since September. Just speak out more, and you'll get more responses. It's a numbers game. The more that goes in, the more that comes out.

Ah yes, Pratchett. I really do need to read more of his books. ;)

While I like Razz0putin's method, I wouldn't employ it. Someone jumping and screaming would fail their stealth roll and add +2 to the rogue's roll, and a good rogue will probably make their roll anyway. The thing is, having a good rogue can't make the rest of the party move silently. For...

I've toyed with the idea quite a bit. Death would spend quite a bit of time in the Negative Energy Plane, of course. I was thinking of having Death manifest as a largely shapeless form - if people were at the scene of a great slaughter, they might feel a dark, chilling breeze as if some...

I guess that's probably true. I started thinking of the definition of 'spellcasting class', and I'm not sure that Mystic Theurge fits it, because you don't get any new spells/day for that class, you get spells/day for two other classes. It would be interesting if someone took the other side of...

If a prestige class has a spell progression that gives, say +1 level of existing class, can this apply to the Mystic Theurge prestige class? i.e. A Cleric 3/Wizard 3/Mystic Theurge 3/Celestial Mystic 3 who increases his/her Celestial Mystic level could have the spells per day increase the spell...

Player's Handbook 3.5 says it doesn't work on someone who has died of old age. I looked in Masters of the Wild and found True Reincarnate. Unlike other dead-raising spells (including Last Breath, a few pages earlier), it doesn't have an old-age clause. However, it does say that it functions...

Anyone ever read the book description of 3.5 Spell Turning (not in the SRD)? The first paragraph explains that while charm person could be turned, fireball and inflict critical wounds could not be. The fourth paragraph gives an example of spell turning. What spell is turned in the example...

350,000.

It seems unusual that the spell True Resurrection wouldn't need a body unless the body existed, but it is based on Raise Dead, which is a touch spell, so maybe that is correct. As for killing someone who you really don't want to see return, it says in the description of True Resurrection that...

From the SRD: You can revive someone killed by a death effect or someone who has been turned into an undead creature and then destroyed. This spell can also resurrect elementals or outsiders, but it can’t resurrect constructs or undead creatures. I'd have to say no. If you kill the undead...

I didn't see where this has been discussed before, but I can't seem to search the fora for any previous threads. Firstly, the Shadowdancer's Shadow Jump ability says that it functions like the spell Dimension Door. I had only previously thought of this ability as affecting only the Shadowdancer...

I've had parties with Favored Souls instead of Clerics, and that works fine.

If you don't have use for d12's, you're not playing with enough undead in your campaign. :( Just be glad you have them - I've played D&D with all d6's before. d2 and d3 rolls are easy enough to simulate, and d6's can obviously be done, but d4's need two simulated d2 rolls (if you get 4,5,6 on...

For the visual, having two planes to put minis on will work (as previously suggested by others), probably one for the x-y plane and one for the x-z plane. For actually computing distance for the range of flying creatures and other uses, you might consider making a table of possible lengths and...

Not only would Dire Hamster be a tougher creature, but it would be a great name for a rock band.

How far does an object fall in one round in D&D? I figure acceleration=velocity/time, so velocity=acceleration*time, and integrating both sides w/respect to time gives distance=(acceleration/2)time^2, if acceleration is constant. If we assume D&D gravity is 32 feet/second^2 (like in real...

My most recent D&D experience was with a party of only three characters, and out of those, two were clerics. I don't think playing with that high of percentage of the party being clerics is a good idea, but having one cleric is nice, largely because of their healing spells. Undead turning is...
