    Control Undead - How?

    Oops - to make it clearer; when a cleric channels negative energy to rebuke and her level is twice the HD of the undead, she 'controls' the undead. How is that control exercised?

    D&D 3.x 3.5E Barbarian Changes

    I'm sure this has been discussed, but I couldn't find anything on a search. I've heard Barbarians will get DR earlier and possibly other changes to make gaining Barbarian levels more attractive. Can anyone confirm this? What sort of level would they start gaining DR at?

    Control Undead - How?

    How are undead controlled? I'm assuming it's not verbal (as unintelligent undead don't speak any languages, and there's no mention of needing a common langugage to control intelligent undead....) If mental, is there any range to the control? Is it blocked by a protection spell like a...

    The proper Fireball

    Just make sure you don't call that horse a mare just because it happens to be female and start DreamChaser off on another rant.... ;)

    Large vs small bull rush

    By the rules it's a flat 25%. I'd agree that as a House rule you might modify that up or down - maybe 10% per size category difference?

    The Scattered Ones

    OOC: Whoops! I didn't actually list any of Namfoodle's languages (3 bonus for high INT) on the Char Sheet. They were supposed to be Elf, Dwarf, Draconic. If it's an issue Namfoodle will use his Scroll of Comprehend Languages.

    Can a Phantom Steed wear horseshoes?

    LOL Not exactly....helpful, but amusing nonetheless.

    Horrid Wilting...

    Yep, it's like slow, confusion and other multiple-target spells. Advantage that you can be selective amongst friends and enemies - disadvantage that unlike area effect spells you actually have to target them (so you're SOL if they're invisible, misled or otherwise hidden from you and you have...

    Can a Phantom Steed wear horseshoes?

    As per the title - can a phantom steed (Brd3, Sor/Wiz 3) have horseshoes (in particular, magical horseshoes like horseshoes of the zephyr) affixed? And if so, does anyone have any RL experience - how long would it take a moderately skilled person to shoe a horse?

    Piratecat's Updated Story Hour! (update 4/03 and 4/06)

    I prefer dactylic anapestometer myself (I wonder if Piratecat knows he's a dactyl? :D ) Down through the Underdark Go the Defenders while Piratecat keeps up his Half Mona-Lisa smile Only the foolish would Venture to guess what he Has up his sleeve to sow Discord and misery.... As the party go...

    Using "Turning" slots to power PrC

    What sort of benefits do you intend to have powered by Turning attempts (ones that are thematically tied to positive energy are possibly most appropriate....) It's a good general idea; as a cleric player I like Feats that make Turning more versatile. One word of warning though - if you give a...

    [OT] Finally.. the evil of SPAM is being defeated!

    I don't think we should blame spammers for the problem - they're acting on a market imperative. We should blame the 0.01% of recipients who do sign up for the organ enlargement/reduction/refinancing programs offered (after all, if it was 0.00%, even the spammers wouldn't bother....)

    Public info about the private?

    This is a joke, right? I mean - surely? Please tell me this is a joke....!

    Request for an Epic Spell design

    Consider the effects on NPCs. Powerful spellcasters from 10,000 years ago would still be around (and probably pushing 121st level or so :-P ) rather than facing the one inescapable limitation on their power - time. It would change the dynamics of the world incredibly.

    Shifter munchkininess

    SR, like DR, is actually (Su) rather than (Ex) IIRC That solves half your problem. The Shifter class is, even taking that into account, quite breakable by creative players (if not inherently broken) and should be removed if your players show the slightest hint of Munchkin's Disease. That...

    Those who can't find the time to game anymore, is PBEM a valid option?

    I would second the thoughts expressed so far - when they're good they can be excellent, but the drop-out rate for players AND DMs can be high (and the number of games whch start quite quickly, then sl-o-o-o-o-o-w d-o-o-o-o-w-n then die is depressing.) Try www.pbem.com, they list a wide range of...

    Request for an Epic Spell design

    Of course, a sane DM would probably suggest that extension of lifespan without drawback or sacrifice was unbalancing and thus rule that such a spell cannot be researched...
