As a roleplayer I would say that the staves have nice flavor. What's cooler than to find an ancient wizard's staff with the power over fire magic. Anyway, giving a staff multiple powers makes you more able to handle different situations without switching items. A useful lower-level or higher...

From my experience in the army, I can say that you can go without sleep for about a week if you got something to do and if you don't do any prolonged hard physical activity like marching with 60 kg of gear (since after two days you'll be totally sore and have cramps etc if you don't rest though...

And dragonscale armor made with Dragoncraft feat from Draconomicon count as one step lighter armor, just like mithral. I can't remember the exact qualities ATM.

From Complete Arcane: Mageslayer - A caster is unable to cast defensively if you threaten him (i.e. he still provokes AoO even if casts def) but he knows it. Not so useful but you need it for Pierce Magical Protection (or something like that) - your attacks (melee?) ignore the AC bonus from...

I've been thinking about this Divine Rank 0 thing too and decided that I'd make an epic prestige class with 10 levels and spread the abilities. There's already one for dragons in Draconomicon. This would make an excellent prestige class for one of my players' character who's a wizard /...

OFF TOPIC Now who the heck carries a backpack with full plate armor? :) IMC even if you could carry ridicilous amounts of stuff, you don't. Nobody carries 50 healing potions or 100 javelins.

I'd say no since it's not an epic magic item, although I can't remember the definition of DR n/epic. An adventure @ wizards.com had a version of magebane enchantment before Complete Arcane. You could choose certain type of spellcaster against which the enchantment was, or two domains. So you...

SRD says that hobgobs have Str 11, Dex 13, Con 13, Int 10, Wis 10, Cha 10 (= +2 Dex/Con) -- EDIT: whoops, this was from a 3.0 SRD, it could've changed in 3.5 MM hobgolin probably has non-elite array (3x 11, 3x 10) with different emphasis (but with the same amount of points). It's something...

In 3.5 shurikens are ranged weapons that deal 1d2 damage but are treated as ammution. In 3rd edition you could throw three at a time. But yeah, sneak attack applies only to the first.

I'd rather cast empowered Enervation for that 6th level slot since negative levels stack and they're much worse in many ways.

This probably has come up earlier but I'm too lazy to search: 1 direbadger wizard 2 myconids 1 yuan-ti (half-blood or abomination) or wereserpent Tactics: the direbadger wizard casts mirror image => badger, badger, badger, badger, mushroom, mushroom, badger, badger, badger, badger, aaargh a...

Give some abilities that increase his existing abilities. Like better movement in rough terrain to make him more ranger-y. Ignore cover or concealment with ranged weapons in forests (for ranged weapon style, maybe something else for two-weapon style). Variant in CW gives Fast Movement at 6th...

Oi! I'm starting a Egypt themed campaign that's situated in Mulhorand in Forgotten Realms. The munchkin of our group whined about him having a boring character (a nomad, ranger/tempest) because there are three other fighter types in the group already. For the first time I got inspiration from...

Why Handle Animal and Ride if the paragon class boosts construct-like abilities?

Avast ye scurvy sea-dogs. I was somewhat unsatisfied with the ninja base class in Complete Adventurer. It didn't have enough cool abilites for my ninja taste. (Evasion at lvl 12 and they can't swim nor use rope)But then I figured out some awesome ninja multiclassing options. Monk 1 / Ninja x...

I'd say that Regional feats from Forgotten Realms are supposed to be a bit more powerful than normal feats. Revision in PGtF makes even more powerful but you must choose it at first level and cannot choose it unless you're from a certain region. It's all explained in Player's Guide to Faerûn...

I could drive my art roleplayers nuts with that slapstick routine :). Another nasty tactic is to have a wizard ready a Shatter spell to be cast at the disarmed weapon.

Why not? Btw, stone, bronze and renaissance weapons are handled officially in DMG

Usually IMC every character has spellcasting ability because it seems to be more fun to play a spellcaster. I agree with the public opinion that pure spellcasters are more powerful because of their 'one save or out of combat' spells, not because of their damage dealing spells. IMO it seems that...

Yeah, I just mixed losing your Dex to AC and being flat-footed.
