    Spell for Getting Past Damage Reduction

    Er, doesn't Magic Weapon/ Magic Fang make attacks magical? I don't see that anyone has mentioned it. I know it's not a spell, but there's a feat in the draconomicon that lets you punch through the first 5 points of any DR and hardness, called sense weakness.

    How do you do item identification?

    I bring up this topic because as a player and DM, item identification really has only ever been pay the standard fee to learn the crunch. In general we're all wary of new items and never touch them beyond stowing them in the pack and having them properly identified later. Every new item costs...

    Cool mysterious names of places (desert)

    I'm lame and usually look up real maps from the middle east and cannibalize names for places from there. That may or may not be the type of names you're looking for. I'm curious what other people use to come up with names though.

    Missing Spells in Complete Divine

    I hope this is the right place. In complete divine, the creation domain gets two spells Minor Creation and Major Creation at 4th and 5th level. But I can't find those spells anywhere in the book, nor in the phb, or in deities and demigods. Funny enough, the same problem exists in deities and...

    Deities & Demigods!

    Don't hang me but I kinda like deities and demigods. I don't have any idea what the previous version books are like, but i wish they'd perhaps consider updating it to 3.5. I recently designed my own pantheon and got a lot of use out of it. Without the book I don't know if it would have gone so...

    Dragon tactics for PC wyrmling

    Bleh, that progression kind of stinks. Dragons really should have blindsense right from the beginning since that's determined by keen senses not something magical. oh well. Alter form at 4th will give you lots of infiltration options, like i mentioned earlier. You dont have any claw attacks...

    Celestial Chainmail

    If celestial armor isn't already mithral, wouldn't mithral celestial chainmail armor be a max dex bonus of +10, 0 Armorcheck penalty, and 5% ASF, and provide a total bonus of 8ac? It'd only really add 4k to the price. A mithral chain celestial shirt would have then max dex bonus of +12, 0...

    Celestial Chainmail

    You could ask maybe for mithril celestial chainmail, or have Celestial Chainmail with the nimbleness enchantment.

    Dragon tactics for PC wyrmling

    If you have access to it, get ahold of the Draconomicon. There's tons of useful stuff in there, from tactics, to gear and new spells specifically for dragons. And besides, it has pretty pictures too. All i can say is that in a straight up fight, stay with your bite attacks, since that's the...

    DMG 2: yay or nay

    We already have Unearthed Arcana as a group and that book is indeed wonderful. I'm running a group of gestalt characters with weapongroups if that says anything. Looks like I may indeed pick up the DMG 2 in a bit, thanks guys.

    DMG 2: yay or nay

    Is the DMG 2 worth buying? I saw it today on the shelf at Barnes and Noble and hadnt really previously looked at it. There seemed to be some pretty nifty information in it but the $40 pricetag was far too high for me to just buy it on the spot. I read the review for it and the author spoke...

    What forms do you use while DMing?

    Hi, I'm a lurker who's working on fleshing out his campaing world and that campaign planner thingy sounds useful. Is it an online thing or a paper thing? Does anyone happen to have any info on it? Thanks, and sorry for the ninja thread jacking.

    Help me tag level adjustment for asperi

    I've always liked the Asperi from the MM2. Unfortunately this is 3.0 and kind of out of date for use as special mounts or companions. The asperi have some abilities that make them nice mounts and very special rewards to those who can tame them. The question I pose to you is thus: What level...

    Reverse of Power Attack, Would this be balanced?

    Hrm, good point. If you gave up bonus damage, up to a max of bab/2 would that be better? If not, what would you suggest to make it balanced?

    Defending weapon property

    Yes, I'd say so since like the others have noted, the blade is still sharp, and that can't be taken away from it when you swing it (or poke with it).

    Divine Haste?

    I'm the dm in question in this game, and I have reservations on allowing this kind of feat. +1 atk to all attacks, and 1 extra at highest bab seems pretty good compared to divine might. Perhaps I'm being paranoid but I'm not sure. Consider a 2 weapon fighting paladin with this versus a sword...

    Reverse of Power Attack, Would this be balanced?

    I'm not sure if this should be house rules or not, but I hope that here is fine since it's a mechanics question. There's a prestige class on the wizards website, the arcane duelist, that gains an ability that somewhat functions in the reverse of power attack, and I thought it would be a...

    Hitting friends in meelee with missle weapons

    Shouldnt you just insist the scout take the -4 for firing into melee so that when he does miss his enemy he cant hurt you with it because he's being careful? It'll make it hard for the scout to hit, but then it wont be a problem if he misses.
