My DM is thinking of switching rulesets to Pathfinder, and might be restricting things to Pathfinder, Advanced Player's Guide, and the Bestiaries. So I am playing a human crusader reincarnated as a treant with an Ancestral Relic intelligent sword. So far, the treant works out, I can take a...

I thought the title was a reference to the TV show "saved by the bell", but maybe I am missing something.

I laughed. And Thog is still raging, so doesn't need to make sense in his rage. Heck, think of how irrational people can sound when they are in a full on rage. I hope Mr. Scruffy gets to keep the belt. :)

Assuming a GM allows it and would remember to activate it, what would it be like to have a character with 450 points of Serendipity (IIRC that is 30 lucky breaks a session, or 15 very lucky breaks!). Perhaps like Gladstone Gander, as described in the advantage flavour text. I was wondering if...

So assume that the entire universe (multi-verse? all planes, anyhow) is all an anti-magic zone, but otherwise it is 3.5 D&D. What follows? What would a DM need to do to adjust? What would players need to do to adjust? Could the game still be fun? Could it still have its "D&Dness"? I assume that...

1) I kinda like each class having its "niche". 2) I worry that somehow someone will find a "whole is far greater than the sum of its parts" multi-class exploit. That said, it was suggested on another thread that I need an archer niche. Do I? Is there any class that would fill that niche or...

Contrariwise, if there is a particular special ability or condition that a monster or trap has that the OP party would find impossible to circumvent, I could simply not have that monster or trap, or remove the particular special ability or condition from that monster or trap. Are there...

That would be interesting, but my response would simply be to present the level 10 party with (say) CR 8 monsters while giving them experience points as if they faced CR 10 monsters. I already know that the characters are weak, after all. :)

3.5 has so many options that sometimes you can get something interesting by carving off some of them. Imagine a world with only the following classes and no multi-classing: Warmage, Healer, Knight, Ninja, Swashbuckler, Monk, Soul Knife, Aristocrat, Expert, Warrior, and Commoner. Also, no UMD...

Isn't Kingdoms of Kalamar meant to be realtively low fantasy?

Talk to the other player and the other DM. There is nothing set in stone here, so it really depends on the individuals in question, which in this case is you three. Talk also about what level of inter-party conflict is desirable and not desirable to the three of you (and to the other players)...

You probably got it covered but make sure you have at least one rank in Knowledge: (architecture and engineering).

Are you going to mention choice of followers at all? Because "warlock followers" is a pretty good way to get at least some combat use out of them (and it is easy to keep the paperwork down to a minimum too).

Hmmm . . . the practiced spellcaster feat would be good to take, once I hit the cosmic descryer class (it has half-advancement as a caster, which isn't too bad once I hit 20th caster level but still). Level 24 feat I guess. :) Anyhow, here is the spell list (I am assuming that the sorcerer...

Not optimized primarily. I am taking fiendish heritage feats for all non-epic-level, non-prerequisites to the various prestige classes, and they are not the optimizing choice for the character (I am not even taking the feat that gives you a permanent elemental buddy, and that one is in the same...

I am looking at the Cosmic Descryer class, and it gives HD boosts to summoned creatures, and later on a temporary caster level boost, but mainly it is a half-caster class. On the other hand, once one has gotten a caster class to 20, then caster level does not determine how many spell slots one...

The spell Abyssal Rift (in Fiendish Codex I) gives victims reflex saves to avoid falling in the rift and to avoid the fiery tentacles. Also, "anything still trapped inside the rift when it closes plane shifts (as the spell) to a random layer of the Abyss". So do trapped beings get a will save...

What does it mean, in mechanical terms, to become more and more dehydrated? Aside from being fatigued and having non-lethal "weather" damage turn into lethal damage, what does it mean to be dehydrated, in mechanical terms?

Alas the feats that I know of that can do that require the caster to be evil too, and I want to stay CN.

A Malconvoker can cast evil conjuration spells without becoming evil thereby. Aside from summoning spells, there are a few others I have come across. I was wondering what the fertile imaginations of various folk could do with the following sor/wiz spells (for a non-evil caster that wants to...
