    spells you think are the wrong level

    Because, in d20, Conjuration spells work with matter? http://www.d20srd.org/srd/magicOverview/spellDescriptions.htm#conjuration While the first paragraph does mention summoning energy none of the descriptions of the subschools mention pure energy. They all mention matter and/or creatures...

    Laptops at the table - Do you use them?

    I use one when I DM, at a stand off to the side from the table. I use it for quick reference to status conditions, monster stats, looking up spells/psionics that I don't remember details on. I try not to have it on the table, because I dislike the feeling of "barrier" that it makes between...

    "Behind the Spells" print compilation

    I've always liked "power components". You know, thinks like "Powdered amber, from a gem valued at 100gp or more, has a 1% chance per 10gp value of the gem (maximum 20%) of empowering the spell as per the metamagic feat. "

    spells you think are the wrong level

    QFT. That's how I run them in my games. The force Orb spell doesn't exist, nor does the sonic. The others conjure or create elemental effects (elemental fire or magma, paraelemental cold, creates acid) which is no longer effective after the initial attack...

    Essential Adventuring Equipment

    Bag of flour. Poor man's glitterdust , great for getting invisible foes to leave footprints in the flour, too.

    New DM Problem: Describing Attacks.

    Cumulative damage. "The creature, weakened by the damage already done to it, falls victim to your final thrust." "You apparently nick an artery, judging by the blood the sprays. Your foe falls, suddenly lifeless."

    Emmanuel - where is the artist?

    It looks like the artists name is cut off, just under the imps' bowl

    Please Help Me With Cleric Spell Choice

    Light of Lumia, 1st level. You glow with a silvery light (30ft radius) , and during the duratino of the spell you can release the light in 2 bolts, each doing 1d6 damage (double to undead), with a 30ft range. Not a lot of damage, but it's a 1st level spell, of which you get quite a few, and...

    Expedition to Castle Ravenloft: Strahd’s new look… [Guessing at Spoilers]

    Because they didn't write this version of the adventure. I'm sure they'll attribute them in the credits on the first page "Based on the original adventure I6 written by Tracy and Laura Hickman" or something to that effect. Cover credits are for the author of the current material, not for the...

    Location of Swarm Template?

    I'm still trying to figure out how many hp to give them. :-P

    Warmage's 3rd-level Advanced Learning = Craptastic?

    I'm rather fond of Light of Lunia - dur 10 minutes/level; you emit a 30 ft silvery radiance, and during the spell's duration you can release the energy in 2 bolts that do 1d6 good/light damage on a ranged touch (double dmage against undead or evil outsiders), within 30 ft. the first bolt...

    Gust of wind (Sorc/wiz 2) creates a 50mph blast of wind, but it only lasts one round.

    Stacking +1 ammo with +1 Weapons

    They are created in batches of 50, so technically, they are cheaper. A single +1 arrow costs 40 gp (1x1x2000gp, /50 = 40gp).

    HELP!! Demons, objects & Banishment!

    I'd say decide what's best for your story: If your PC's are at a point where they could possibly research the home location of the fiend, and get there, and retrieve the artifact, and it wouldn't disrupt what's going on in the campaign world too much, I'd say go for that option. If you don't...

    Those Compiled Lists

    On a related note, I pulled all the druid spells out of there and separated them out by level & school, since for whatever reason WOTC didn't bother doing that when they gave us 3.x Druids Spells by Spell Level and School

    Monte Cook's Design Thoughts On Spellcasters

    Esp. since wands and the like are consumable resources. You've shelled out 11k for that wand of (for example) Ice Storm. Yet, unlike a fighters +1 shocking sword, which he shelled out 8k+ for, you don't have unlimited use of the wand. Possibly that indicates that support items need to be...
