    Anti-Magic Field

    How is the Fighter/Ranger casting antimagic field on himself? (It is centered on the caster.) WotC says "no". The official 3.0 FAQ: Rules of the Game: Magical Oddities (Part Three): http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/rg/20050503a No. "Two or more antimagic fields sharing any of the...

    Best way to distribute free adventure

    You want to share files on the net? How about publishing them on a file sharing network like eMule ? Contrary to popular belief, file sharing is not just for copyright infringement. ;) (BTW, I've been toying with the idea of "shareware" RPG supplements or adventures. Have you considered...

    Logistics of staking a vampire?

    Where in the books does it say that? Is there any reason why players won't make a called shot on all attacks? On higher levels this means that pretty much every blow will result in a "crippled" opponent.

    Logistics of staking a vampire?

    Pretty hard. Like I said a few posts ago in this thread: Staking a vampire in combat should be very difficult. If the players insisted on going for the perfect strike I'd give the vampire increased AC and/or a miss chance to hit to reflect the added difficulty of hitting the heart. Not really...

    Protection From Targeted Dispell

    I used to think so as well until just now, when Artoomis pointed out that it can't absorb more than 50 spell levels. Ever. (I'd somehow gotten the idea that you could absorb/cast as much as you wanted, with an upper limit of 50 for "saved" energy. :( :o ) IMO the cost is too great unless you're...

    Protection From Targeted Dispell

    Using 2 rings of counterspells with the same spell is kind of tricky, rules wise, as there's really no reason (that I can see) why they wouldn't trigger simultaneously. What you want is the spellblade weapon ability from Player's Guide to Faerun (+6000 gp). You choose one spell, and when...

    Logistics of staking a vampire?

    pawsplay, exactly what is it you're arguing here? I can't make sense of it. Are you objecting to the idea that one could make a house rule to cover staking a vampire in combat? On account of how you can't imagine it happening?! :confused:

    Logistics of staking a vampire?

    Vampires are immune because they are undead. Thus the "as if it had been alive" note. (If it makes you feel any better, feel free to replace the game terms used with new words without changing the mechanics.)

    Logistics of staking a vampire?

    There are no official rules. My solution would be to call an attack with a wooden weapon that would have killed the vampire had it still been alive a successful staking. (With reservations - see below.) The "would have killed it" part is important, as it prevents any oddities when players try...

    Dragon themed fighter

    Dragon Devotee (Races of the Dragon, 5 level PrC) looks like a perfect match. It's easy to qualify for and it gives you fighter feats, sorcerer spellcasting and some minor "dragony" abilities. Beyond that the Platinum Knight PrC from Draconomicon would work out well I think. The spellcasting and...

    Stargate Altantis Season 3 *Discussion Thread* 9/08

    Call me Mr Cranky Pants, but... I did not like it. I hate alternate universes almost as much as I hate time travel. Drawing attention to how nothing that happens have any real signifacance (there are an infinite number of alternate universes, and everything that can happen, will), does not...

    Best Archer Build?

    It's in Spell Compendium. It's been changed so that your first hit in the next round is an automatic critical hit. As for other spells, Champions of Ruin has some rather nifty immediate (swift?) action ranger spells for archers.

    Effigy Master

    The effigy looses all spell-like abilities. (It's under "special attacks" in the template.) Constructs are creatures and valid targets for any spell that affects creatures. (Unless there are additional restrictions such as "living creature touched", like the barkskin spell.) To see if a spell...

    Best Marshal Build?

    Holy liberator (CD) will get him some nice abilities (like divine grace) and spellcasting ability from the paladin spell list. Legendary leader (HoB) fits thematically. A sorcerer/marshall could make an interesting war weaver (HoB), using spells as well as auras to aid his allies. If he...
