And as an aside, the SBG also states that 30% of the cost of a structure is from labor.

I've never actually done this before, but it could work in theory. Get a co-DM and make plots that necessitate splitting up into two (or more) "parties" that work together. Make sure that the adventures require achieving two or more objectives simultaneously, which forces the 10 PCs to split...

The problem being that the Caster Shield can't accommodate scrolls of higher than 3rd level.

There are Weapon Crystals in the MIC that help, but are probably prohibitively expensive. You have to get separate crystals to sneak attack Undead and Constructs (And one doesn't exist for sneak attacking Plants), and each costs something like 10,000gp and can only be used on +3 or better...

This. Mechanically I'm sure I'd have no problem with them. They just fill needed roles. I just think that Dragonborn are ridiculous. Even in DnD where the threshold for ridiculousness is really low, I think Dragonborn somehow cross the line. The pictures of them in Races and Classes just...

Infinite Scrollcase: page 162 of the MIC. This is where the Belt of Battle comes in handy. Just blow as many charges as you need to do it in time.

Or the cost to create is wrong. Given that everywhere else the Healing Belt appears (i.e. in the tables in the back) it is listed as 750gp, it is more likely that the intended price was indeed 750gp.

Obviously a party of 7th level can't take out a hobgoblin army in one day. But the party has a lot of advantages. 1) They have time on their side. Who cares if it takes them 2 months to kill them all? The hobgoblins are just sitting there waiting for you to attack them. 2) They're more...

I was in the same sort of boat, but I ended up creating something that is pretty good by my standards. One thing I did that helped enormously was to flat out copy coastlines from the real world. I'd fire up Google Earth, search for coastlines with interesting topography, and then trace that...

You know what I think would be pure gold? And would be relatively simple to boot? A Handy Card Generator. A drag-and-drop program with pre-made slots to fit a template of a page. There is a handy, searchable database with all sorts of things on it that would be good to have, like spells...

Voluntarily? As a player? Never. Not once. Number of times I've been forced into an unwinnable grapple due to Improved Grab? Only about 100 times.

Then why even bother taking any loot? There are non-magical solutions, however. Like buying a cart and Mounting in a horse to pull it back to town.

I extend the rule even further and say that a one handed longspear is an exotic weapon. I mean jeez, the phalanx was a dominant fighting style for hundreds of years and it isn't even possible under the rules?

Take everything you can carry. If it's weighing you down, donate it to a church or something to gain favor. If you can't physically carry it all, then use some of the money you just grabbed to buy another bag of holding so you never have the problem again.

I'd go for something deep underground that can't be accessed except through teleport. Make it out of permanent Walls of Force so Earthquakes don't effect it. If you're allowing things from the stronghold builder's guide, then make sure the area is always 70 degrees and has access to fresh air...

May I take the time to point out that I hate, hate, hate the switch from writing distances in squares instead of feet? (By the way, major rant warning) Squares are an artificial game concept in order to enable some order to the combat simulation. They don't actually exist in the game world...

Erm, hate to break it to you, but 3e killed the Tolkein halflings. 3e Gnomes adopted a lot of Hobbit characteristics (live in holes underground, good Constitution, bard favored class), but now those are gone too.

For a duskblade, the killer prereq is the ability cast level 3 arcane spells, which a Duskblade doesn't get until level 9.

Have the characters get chased by something big and dangerous, but slow. Something that they won't want to fight, like a dragon, giant, or behol... ok, scratch that. Have them be chased by a rust monster or a vampire or something that characters will actually run from instead of fight (losing...

Another thing to consider is that since races are getting more important in the new edition (new racial traits and racially themed feats, etc), it's very likely that because the gnome is relegated to the MM, he won't get any of that special love that the PHB races are getting, and very possibly...
