    Good cleric spells, level 6, NOT from core/SRD?

    My level 11 cleric has an open slot for an extra 6th level spell. It's a D&D 3.5 edition game. I would like to look at spells that are not in the PHB, as I've been doing those for a while already. I have access to the Spell Compendium and the books that came out after it (PHB 2, Complete...

    Pathfinder 1E Pathfinder outselling D&D

    To assert that it's just as decent as 3rd in regards to sales, yeah, I might grant you that simply because it's hard to say. Although some other publishers have flat-out stated that 3rd was bigger than 4th, in their blogs. But truly, it's fuzzy, so if you think that 4th was bigger, fine...

    D&D 3.x Absract mass-combat system for 3.5?

    I must spread some Experience Points around before giving to Water Bob again.

    Pathfinder 1E Pathfinder outselling D&D

    Can you explain this to me? I seem to have missed what happened with Bill, and how it relates to competition now.

    D&D 3.x Absract mass-combat system for 3.5?

    There used to be a lovely PDF for 3.5 edition mass combat on DriveThruRPG.com. It was an excerpted chapter from a larger hardcover book. But you don't need the whole book or even the whole chapter to implement their system. It was very robust and clever, because it used the CR/EL system that is...

    HeroForge needs help

    I'm not sure if they even take donations. I've never seen a Paypal link or anything. Anyway, I hope they have success. I generally only make D&D 3.5 edition characters that can be made with Heroforge, so if it's not in there, I don't use it.

    HeroForge needs help

    The D&D 3.5 edition Excel-based character generator got stuck over the last few months -- a developer/leader spearheaded a lot of fixes, but sorta disappeared and left the product in a broken state. After waiting a while, the remaining developers have decided to roll back to the released...

    D&D 3.x Last minute one-time 3.5 game, Thursday night. Help?

    In the end, earlier today I sat my kids down at the table and said, "I have to run a D&D game in 3 hours. I want to invent a module, right now." We all brainstormed, covering a battlemat with an organic mind map, then voted on the best idea. From there we filled 3 battlemats with a...

    D&D 3.x Last minute one-time 3.5 game, Thursday night. Help?

    Ah, no, probably not. There are a few modules from Dungeon magazine that have been freely available, but if it's not one that is officially free, I'll keep looking for something else. So far The Alchemist's Eyrie sounds good, but probably too much to tackle in 4 hours. Also Ghosts of Aniel...

    D&D 3.x Last minute one-time 3.5 game, Thursday night. Help?

    They're all good players who know the rules and are familiar with splatbooks, so I think they're able to handle weirdness. I'm probably the least adaptable. All the pre-gens that I have for them are probably optimized for mostly combat and some talky encounters. They're not super great PCs...

    D&D 3.x Last minute one-time 3.5 game, Thursday night. Help?

    I need to find a short module -- something very fun, and which can be completed in about 4 hours. I'd like it to be for levels 6 to 10, somewhere in there. Anyone know of something free that I could download right away? Especially interested in something that you've actually played or DM'd...

    Abrupt Jaunt change;

    I've used Abrupt Jaunt in 3 ways. Note that when it comes to negating attacks, it's about as useful as a Mirror Image spell. So I'm not particularly bothered by its ability to make the enemy waste a few attacks. Other low-level spells will do that too, and better. What bothered me about it...

    D&D 3.x [3.5] What's a good wizard feat for level 6?

    My DM wanted everyone to start at age 16, regardless of profession. So he took 2 years to get up to age 18 and level 6. Correct. At your discretion. :) I doubt he would gain a wizard's tower unless he was very self-assured. Don't forget: he's aware of his mediocrity, and he runs from...

    D&D 3.x [3.5] What's a good wizard feat for level 6?

    Everything magical is custom, though I try to name them close to standard magical items if I can think of one. Here, I'll walk you through them. Wand of +2 caster level: Works like metamagic wands with a severe downgrade to 2x/week. It confers just what it says. For example, if my 6th level...

    Summoning X vs Y

    It's a 2nd level transmutation spell from the Spell Compendium. It grants the subject any single feat from the fighter’s bonus feat list for 10 minutes/level. All prerequisites for the feat must be met by the target of this spell. So you can't give a Fiendish Ape the Combat Expertise feat...

    Any GOOD one session aventure?

    A Dark & Stormy Night is a free 3.5 edition adventure on the wizards site. You can Google for it. I liked it. It's really short; it can be completed in 4 or 5 hours. The Burning Plague is another free one @ wizards, 1st level as well, but takes maybe 7 to 9 hours to complete. I like that...

    Summoning X vs Y

    If I were creating a summoner again, I would take the variant class abilities called Rapid Summoning & Enhanced Summoning. That would get me 2 feats and some bonus features for mostly free (well, I'd have to lose my familiar & scribe scroll, but I can get either back later). Then I'd take...

    D&D 3.x [3.5] What's a good wizard feat for level 6?

    Thanks Eman Resu! Something to consider. Much appreciated. So... finally, attached is my character sheet for level 6, and spells. The character is of course just as noted in the OP -- I had poor rolls for stats, so the PC took Abrupt Jaunt with immediate teleport to help cover for the lack...
