    D&D 3.5 Carry Bag?!?!?!

    They were giving them out if you bought all three books, while supplies lasted. The only reason I got one is some other guy hadn't gotten his PH yet, and was willing to go in with me and let me have the bag. I paid his sales tax for him, which was a pretty paltry sum, so again, thanks to...

    [3.5] Significant Improvements?

    Actually, no, The rule is that a spell can be changed every time they get a new spell level. Basically, at 4th level, then every even numbered level afterwords.

    Blind Drow Guards?

    My question is this: how do you know their job is guard? That's their current duty, but that doesn't mean that they normally do this day in and day out. Perhaps it's punishment. Perhaps the "normal" guards are being rewarded for catching the last group of adventurers who tried to sneak in...

    D&D 3.x [3.5] Darkness spell is not dark...

    If you can see 2X area as shadowy illumination, you're doing better than the person who only sees X...because if the person doing the attacking is doing so from 2X distance, you'll be able to attack them with only 20% chance of missing, vs the 50% chance that the victime would have...I'd say...

    Things that have bugged you since 1E

    Not true. The Forgotten Realms elves have been human sized since the game worlds inception, and the Realms predates DS by several years (even as a game product).

    MageKnight 3d Dungeon Tiles in D&D

    I'm lucky. My girlfriend is as eager to use the molds we got at GenCon as I am, so I've got help. :)

    Adkison's Gen Con report

    I'm thinking of running a game or two next year. My one real reservation about it is that I tend to have a soft voice. When I ran a game in the open gaming room this year for some friends, I had to repeat myself several times so that they could hear me. I can see that happening again, and...

    Open Complaint to Peter Adkison

    The place was. The event staff and registration, wasn't. Don't get them confused. IMO, this was the best GenCon, from a location point of view, that I've been to. I've been to the last six, including this one. The convention center itself was better, the organization was better, the sheer...

    D&D 3.x [3.5] Hydra CR undervalued now?

    As I began working on updating my current adventure to 3.5 levels, I started working on the climactic beast of the adventure, a Monster of Legend 8 headed hydra. An 8 headed hydra has, according to both 3.0 & 3.5 MM's, a CR of7. Now, the monster of legend template adds +2 to the CR of a...

    Has anyone NOT received Dragon #310?

    I haven't received mine yet. I'm starting to get a little worried/annoyed. I usually have mine around the 15th, so it's possible I'll get it tonight or tomorrow...

    D&D 3.x [3.5] What Cleric Domain abilities changed and question on Paladin's summoned mount.

    Animal: Use speak/wanimal 1/day as a spell like ability, knowledge (nature) as a class skill. Elemental domains seem to allow for bolstering of the elemental types. SRD doesn't indicate that it used to, but that might be an SRD peculiarity. Strength states the bonus is equal to cleric level...

    D&D 3.x [3.5] Rogue's Sneak Attack

    No change. However, on the table that indicated Armor Class modifiers for different situations, it does specify which ones count for sneak attack; for example, Cowering is listed as causing the defender to lose any Dex bonus to AC as are Grappled opponents, while kneeling or sitting opponents...

    D&D 3.x [3.5]Divine spellcasters no longer able to prepare at a later time?

    On p 178, under Spell Selection and Preparation for the wizard, it says: "When preparing spells for the day, a wizard can leave some of these spell slots open. Later during theat day, she can repeat the preparatin process as often as she likes, time and circumstances permitting, During these...

    A quick question about horses.

    Horses (light or heavy) and pony are both on the starting druid list. Warhorses aren't, so technically, you can't use them. (as a house rule, I'd probably allow them on the 4th level + chart...). You could still fite with the, I don't see why not though I haven't gotten to a thorough reading...
