I think I agree with ExploderWizard. I mean, there isn't any text about what happens when you combine vials of alchemist's fire into one massive container, right?* So why would a DM allow a low-level tool to become a high-level bomb? For me, I would want to reward players for sinking all that...

I'll tell you what the next tool is that I'm going to pay for, dingle. In fact, I will probably buy it 5x so that my whole group can use it. I am waiting for an iPhone application that communicates with the other iPhones at the table. Each player's iPhone application will hold the PC's stats...

Actually, I might be wrong. :) I spent an hour to find it, but on page 294 of the Monster Manual it says that a "monster's levels in the spellcasting class stack with its innate spellcasting ability. A rakshasa, for example, casts spells as a 7th-level sorcerer. If it picks up a level of...

I noticed that the spirit naga in the free adventure, "Treasure of the Black Veils," has an added level of sorcerer. I thought that monsters with innate spells were not actual spellcasters (for example, the spirit naga may be able to cast sorcerer spells, but the spirit naga doesn't get a...

Wow, you're going to try to make a living at this? Can you live off of cheap noodles in your mom's basement? That seems to be the only way to live off of D&D tools. However, I wish you well. I'd love more tools, so I hope it works. Having said that, I don't know why you can't do both. In...

Hmm. It seems you came here to get resounding vindication, not information. And when you didn't get what you wanted, it appears you now wish to debate everyone into submission to your viewpoint. Look, you asked a rules question on the rules forum. You got the answer. If you don't like it...

That made absolutely no sense.

Just to add fuel to the fire, I thought I'd bring in the Phantasmal Killer spell. It's an illusion that can be turned against the spellcaster. When the illusion is turned on the spellcaster, he must use a Will save to disbelieve his own illusion. If he fails, he believes it so much that he...

I agree that the players sound hopelessly dense. However, let's assume the opposite. Let's assume krupintupple portrayed the stories in a way that minimizes his culpability. Maybe some critique from that perspective will help krupintupple to see ways to aid the players in future...

My suggestion would just be to add more monsters. Last time I looked, it was only about half the alphabet. Maybe that's fixed now....

I don't know why we need books. The site d20srd.org has all the material you need to play D&D 3.5, and it's legal. I play in one D&D 3.5 game, and I DM another. In my game, at least 3 of the players use d20srd.org instead of books. Personally, I think that means that D&D 3.5 will live a nice...

Actually, I prefer carmachu's bluntness. I don't think people need to be evenhanded or even courteous to business entities. Having said that, here is my maybe mean spirited comment (which I don't intend to be mean spirited so much as just stating what I believe to be the truth). That is, I do...

The Camouflage feat is what supposedly allows someone to hide big objects. However, even the feat itself knows it is stupid to need a feat for this, so it says that the DM may optionally allow this mechanism for everyone. I do. Sounds like you probably would, too.

Actually, Witching Season and Last Breaths came from the free Dungeon magazine adventures page. (As a possibly useful bit of info, of all the modules listed there by date, the module "City of Blood" from 05/09/2008 is D&D 3.5 edition, and so is everything earlier.) Of the three modules you...

:eek: I missed that part. My campaign has a game every other week, and we've only been playing for 6 months. Yet we're at level 5. The leveling system is part of the fun of the game, and withholding it from the players for long periods is going to sap some of the fun away.

I don't think you're overreacting in one sense. That is, they're lazy, so it's perfectly reasonable for them to be dead. That's how it goes. Having said that, it may be less about laziness and more about being uninspired. In other words, I was never compelled to try a spell just because the...

OK, I have it up to a d12 now. I tried to incorporate feedback. 1. Nobody shows up 2. This becomes like a soup kitchen 3-4. This becomes a mob that overruns the smithy 5. This is uneventful (the blacksmith shutters his shop, people come, take food, leave) 6-7. This becomes a mob that is...

Doug, I like your quest idea. Thanks!

Thanks Nifft. I'm going to bypass the teaching moment and just let the cards fall where they may, whether it's appropriate for the kid or not. For all I know, this will turn out wonderfully. I'm trying to not have a vested interest in an outcome, and be equally open to a wonderful or horrible...

This really isn't a D&D 3.5 edition question, despite the title. I'm looking for an answer that would be appropriate for any fantasy world that is steeped in medieval culture. I have a player who has got it in his mind that he must have an AWESOME sword, even though he's far too low-level to...
