A) What is a VoP? B) What kind of spellcaster does it's magical abilities function as, arcane or divine? I'd use the version for whichever it's considered.

Unless I'm misremembering completely, the 3.5 revamp of Persistent Spell keeps the requirement that it be a non-touch spell; this spell (and it's variants) are all touch spells, and thus not eligible for Persistent status.

Sure it does. It's a reflection of the force of your throw. Unlike a sling or an arrow, the bola has heavy weights on the end that would add to the force of the blow, keeping the momentum going. I'd just use the normal check. It's simplistic, and doesn't require any exotic mechanics.

Yes. :) It depends on the company. Some schedule events, some have demos going on at their booths (most notably the large companies) and some have them running in other rooms but you sign up for it at their booths.

Have you tried to simply steam them off? I'm presuming, of course, that they're glued to the inside of the covers, not simply drawn on the inside cover (like they do for modules).

My players (and co-dms) have always felt that, while they add flavor to a characte, they're worthless. They're really too frail to add anything in combat (even the barbarian/sorcerer/fighters raven, with it's "as many hp as the party cleric" hp), they don't attack very well, and while sometimes...

Party is down pretty low in HP, but the two surviving enemies are still fairly decent in the HP range. Party cleric drops a sound burst on the two enemies, one of whom fails her save, dropping her double bladed sword. Party rogue was close enough to adjust, pick up the sword, and strike...and...

Which makes sense, if you think about it. You can arc a shot a lot higher outside (sky's the limit) vs inside (where most dungeons have 10' high ceilings...). Of course you'll be able to go farther....

IMC, one of the things that the bad guys are looking for is the Gatekeeper's Crystal, the artifact responsible for destroying the wards around Hellgate keep...and the keep itself. See, Silverymoon is so nicely warded.... Or Khannyr Vhok's Scoured Legion, mostly made up of tanarruk soldiers...

This is what my campaign is currently doing. Obould is actually courting Khannyr Vhok to add to his forces, but in the meantime has managed to prod the orcs in the mountains to come out. Of course, no one (yet) realizes it's not Obould. In about two tendays they'll figure it out, but not...

You are presuming that mithral is easily available in game. Just because your PC's can afford it doesn't mean that it's available.

Thanks all. I wasn't able to find a free/shareware verision of it, but I've come across a few things that were similar. Thanks for the help.

I've got plans for my backup fighter to have it; starts out the attack with an improved trip attempt with his flail-if he has to drop the flail, out comes the longsword to continue...

Does anyone know what the font used for the titles in the FR Web Enhancements is, and if there is a shareware/freeware font available that is somewhat similar?

I've got mine on order at Media Play, who tells me that it should be in tomorrow, though the street date is the 19th...

I'm going to be in Chicago this Saturday for the Gaelic Storm concert at the House of Blues, and I'm going to have plenty of free time that afternoon and Sunday, so I was hoping that the fine netizens here could point me to a few "don't miss" stores, both gaming and book stores, that I should...

I was under the impression that you were supposed to turn them in and get paid for 'em...*shrug*

When Mystra wills, pretty much. Some of them, like the Sisters, were groomed since literally since birth; most were Chosen later (Elminster, Khelben, Noumea) and have managed to survive, others (Sammaster, an elven princess from the realm of Ardeep who's name I don't recall offhand) couldn't...

If it's unlimited uses per day, I'd say that's good for an effective cost doubling...

One thing that I think you're overlooking in relation to new spells of your own is that you can then turn around and sell that spell to other wizards. So what if it costs you 2000gp to research it, if you can turn around and recoup that cost in sales to other groups. Say, a college of...
