Okay, okay - oligopoly profits then :D

The problem IMHO with this change is that it will tilt the playing field even more toward two-handed-weapon-wielding-Str-monster fighting types. Not that I think such a choice should not be viable (I myself play a longspear-wielding Barbarian) but I don't want to see "sword-and-board" or...

I'm currently playing a high-level Bard in a PbP. As well as being the information-moster (Gather Information, Knowledge(any), Scry, Greaetr Scry, Legend Lore.....) I am the diplomat (Diplomacy, Sense Motive) In combat, I can not only support the party (through mass haste, songs, greater...

The problem with no-holds-barred market capitalism is that, doing the sums, it is generally more profitable to discount heavily for just as long as you need for your small competitors to go out of business, or take just enough of the manufacturer's product that you can stitch up exclusive...

But these are 'enchanted or magically manipulated' areas - so the druid doesn't have that ability within a Wall of Thorns - or am I missing something?

I agree completely! I definitely prefer starting a game between 3rd-6th level so that you can try some combinations. I generally only go with standard races, but allowing flexible multiclassing is IMHO the strength of such a system.

Certainly as noted there are Prestige Classes that allow extra domains; but there are no official Feats allowing either regular or prestige domains. I would agree that a Domain is probably worth two Feats; there are previous House Rules threads on exactly this topic if you have access to...

I just lost half my mouthful of tea to imagining the fighter chopping a hole in the side of the king's helmet.....

This has been a really interesting thread to read. For me, I live in a city of 400,000 or so. There is one game store that stocks DnD products - on one bookshelf of a huge store almost entirely dedicated to modelling (with a small concession to WWII wargamers, else mostly model...

Woodland Stride: Starting at 2nd level, a druid may move through natural thorns, briars, overgrown areas, and similar terrain at his or her normal speed and without suffering damage or other impairment. However, thorns, briars, and overgrown areas that are enchanted or magically manipulated to...

I think that the problem with the Spell Focus Feats is that they don't make the caster better with spells of the chosen school; they make the caster better with spells of that chosen school which happen to have a save. So for some schools (abjuration, divination) where the proportion of 'save'...

This is one I use a fair bit so will offer what I have culled from various discussions. If you are touching as 'part of' the Standard action of casting a touch spell or invoking a supernatural ability (like Death Touch) then you cannot fight defensively. If because you missed, because you...

Still familiar brainstorming - what granted ability would be most appropriate for a cockroach (survive anything up to and including a nuclear winter...) familiar? +1 natural armour +1 to Fort and Reflex saves DR 1/- +4 to save vs poison and disease Other?

Namfoodle, when it is his turn again, will cast cure serious wounds, but not touch anyone, holding the healing charge on his hand and watching to see on whom the next major blunt trauma is inflicted.

Ray of Enfeeblement gives an enhancement penalty to ST. "The subject's Strength score cannot drop below 1." (from the SRD description.) If a character with, for example, ST 10 and a -10 enhancement penalty to ST, and also suffers 1 point of temporary (or permanent!) ST damage (e.g. poison, a...

I play a longspear-wielding Barbarian, and every time I considered taking Power Attack I ended up deciding it wasn't worth it, because for the high-ST 2H weapon wielder the relative increase in damage is too small to make PA worth the hit penalty. 1 1/2x damage would have been enough to make it...

Special: A butterfly familiar grants its owner a +1 to all of his or her spell DCs. Together with fine size and 30ft movement I think that version may be a little overpowered? (Although it has no attack, it will deliver touch spells at base +10 (before master's AB) due to the size, and has AC...

Much better! In the 'current' incarnation it would probably be better named 'Meat Grinder' or 'Lawnmower without Casing' - Vertical Only makes it much more of a Barrier. There are probably still good combinations (Bull RUsh, Ring of the Ram, Gust of Wind, etc) to use it offensively, but it...

Is there any Feat (WotC or third-party) out there that does allow Force substitution?

Really? I always thought that a flaming sphere dealt damage to anyone who was in its square at the end of the caster's turn - so if there was already someone there the caster didn't have to move it.... If a blade barrier deals damage each time a creature passes through it, can a nasty wizard...
