I've tried it. Works decently well (however, combats have not been long enough to take full advantage). It's best used with reach weapons: you have full concealment, instead of just half while your opponent has none. Moreover, almost all reach weapons (save for lances) are two handed further...

I am trying to deviate as little from published material as possible. If you follow the different sources, gods belong to different realms with some gods even sharing the same plane (just having subsections of that plane of their own). I like to use Shar because she really embodies why one...

I am attempting to make a grand adventure encompassing all worlds, all dimensions, all planes, etc. (Darksun, Ravenloft, Greyhawk, Forgotten Realms, Final Fantasy settings, Shanarra, Rokugan, etc.). I will use d20 to do so but am having trouble meshing the different cosmologies. For example...

I am unaware of alternate druids - where is there info on switching spells and getting spontaneous casting?

Can a PrC granting +1 caster level (of any type) be used to gain the bonus caster level of a mystic theurge thus granting both +1 divine and +1 arcane spellcaster levels? From my reading, the ability: "+1 caster level" means you add those levels granting that ability to whatever spellcasting...

I really enjoy your integration of all of the different fantasy worlds and genres. I have caught everything from Forgotten Realms to Shadowrun and I am sure I am missing some. I am actually attempting to make a game that does something similar: it all begins with a multidimensional/planar...

I know some "guilds" (a.k.a. dojos) in Rokugan that might disagree. In fact real life martial arts history mimics this "no one else knos their secrets" precisely.

Ignoring SR seems to be the concensus here. Given the shadow adept's affinity for enchantment, illusion, and necromancy, are there any spells from those schools that ignore SR (that are attack spells) and if not, should I just nix the whole shadow magic route. I am trying to capture the flavor...

Going to have side with James on this one. It seems an oversight - either with the naming, or with the prereq's that toughness was not included as the prereq. While perusing CW I wondered the same thing. :) Of course, my first thought was - oh look, another terrible feat to fill space or give...

Ok I just checked all sources as thoroughly as I could, and managed to only find two quotes that apply to this question: PG 172 - "A bonus that isn't named (just a "+2 bonus" rather than a "+2 resistance bonus") stacks with any bonus PG 172 - In cases when two or more identical spells are...

sigh - another rule I have not been following - I thought that when you get hit with an area spell everything has to make a save and that the only difference form an unattend object is that it actually gets to make a save (if mundane) and can use your save bonus.

An ioun stone has 10 hit points and is unprotected (although attended). Any area effect spell threatens the integrity of that stone. I have not found stacking defending weapons to be a problem IME. Of course I rule that the defending bonus can only be drawn from the enhancement that is...

Thanks for the feedback Seule. I agree with you about avoiding SR. I did not know that the spells you mentioned weren't affected by SR. IIRC, the majority of spells that ignore SR are those that create something or some effect that then effects a creature or summons something directly. Most...

The site at to date (3rd post) is completely unhelpful in this matter. General rules on stacking are not at issue here. I presume everyone knows that mage armor and chain male do not stack and that dodge and mobility do. It is the fine detail of whether or not two unnamed bonuses stack with...

bump

Don't the RAW just mention spells in terms of the same source. Don't multiple defending weapons stack with each other, for example?

I am building a Forgotten Realms Shadovar Arcanist (Wizard 5, Shadow Adept 4) and want to optimize him to kill phaerimm. The back story behind this guy is that he has been sent to Myth Drannor to survey the number of phaerimm there and their threat level. A secondary goal is gain information...

I was going to start a thread with this exact topic. I am building a shadovar arcanist (FRCS - city of shade) who works for Hadrune. His current objectives are to learn about the dalelands and also to infiltrate Myth Drannor and assess the threat of the phaerimm there. So far, the only magic...

the spell would fail.

To use the imagery, when I imagine tank, I imagine...well a tank - something that is big and tough and nigh indestructable. As Darklone points out, this requires HP's, AC, and SAVES. As I have seen time and time again, a buffed fighter or barbarian is great at dealing damage, but one hold...
