Also, any spells you've cast in the last 8 hours can't be regained. So at the absolute least, arcane casters can only prepare spells every eight hours minimum. They've got it better than divine casters though- they only get to prepare their spells once per day. They don't need sleep or rest to...

Keep in mind that the prerequisite for Sudden Maximize is another Metamagic Feat, so you're actually spending TWO feats, one of which you can't even use yet, and the other of which is pointless.

Whether I see it as a bad thing doesn't matter. The rules are the way they are, and if you grant one player a bonus for willingly hindering himself, everybody else is going to want a bonus as well. Sometimes you have to accept the fact that it's a game, and if everyone is enjoying themselves...

Look, the fact of the matter is that Mage Armor isn't on a Duskblade's spell list because they don't need it. They can wear Light Armor and not suffer Arcane Spell Failure, which Wizards cannot do (which is the entire point Wizards get Mage Armor to begin with). They don't need it. Sure, it...

Alright. Thanks for your input, everyone!

I agree that it wouldn't be overpowered, but, as written, the class doesn't need it, and therefore doesn't have it. That's not to say that it's out of the class' reach- as I and others said, you can just get potions of it. Sure, it might make sense for them to have access to it, but they don't...

Would it mess with balance at all if a Warlock wanted to take a Fire version of Vitriolic Blast? That is, it deals full damage to objects, ignores SR and deals a little extra damage the following rounds, but it deals Fire damage instead of Acid damage. Considering how Fire is often regarded the...

If Identify is all you're using to check for curses, I'm afraid you're going to be a very cursed individual. A 20th-level caster casting Identify on a cursed item has an 80% chance to NOT notice the curse. (I've been looking in the SRD for the relevant passage, and I don't think it's there. And...

Don't you think Rogues would love to have Mage Armor too? Lots of Clerics and Druids would love Mage Armor as well. You know, every Fighter would love to be able to heal himself. Oh, and Mages would love to be invisible without spending a spell slot. Wouldn't that be great? But since when are...

...No offense, but that is a HORRIBLE idea. Not only are there no guidelines on how to do that, there's a reason why you aren't supposed to be able to make multiple items like that. How would the game be improved if suddenly everybody had +36 to their relevant stats? (+6 Enhancement, +6 Insight...

I'm unfamiliar with the wording of the feat- do you have to be in Wild Shape to use the feat? If so, you can't use it when not in Wild Shape. If you don't have to be in Wild Shape, then wht's the confusion? It replaces your Natural Armor bonus (as a humanoid, your Natural Armor bonus is +0) with +4.

.....Uh.... But what's THAT?! *Runs away*

Since I simply ranted with my last post, I might as well add something with this one. :-P I don't think Heighten Spell is worth it (in my opinion, anyway), and there's only so much you can do to beef up DCs beyond increasing the stat and taking Spell Focus and such. Of course an obvious option...

Although this isn't exactly answering your question (and I apologize for that), I must say, their first mistake is playing a Wu Jen. The Wu Jen has amazing flavor, like you said- I even played one myself because of it- but their spells are horrendous. They get half of the Wizards' spells, plus...

In my experience, if you fail a save, there aren't many cases where you'd voluntarily undergo that save again in hopes of making it ("Darn, I failed the save vs. Disintegrate, and now I'm down to 4 hit points. Cast it on me again, and maybe I'll make the save this time!"), so I don't think it's...

Whoa, whoa, quick clarification. Just because something has charges does NOT mean that you can use Metamagic Spell Trigger with it. Metamagic Spell Trigger works only with (big surprise) Spell Trigger items- that is, wands and staves. (Look up the definition of Spell Trigger in the DMG, or the...

It's duct tape, not duck tape. It was designed to tape ducts. It has nothing to do with ducks.

Keep in mind, of course, that you cannot have a Stilled scroll. At least, you could, but it would be pointless, as you still have to take the scroll out and manipulate it. Its only use would be to make it harder to identify what spell you're casting, but the +1 spell level would hardly be worth...

Whether it was a typo or an oversight, the Bladed Gauntlet (last printed in Sword & Fist) was errata'd to be a 19-20 crit, and in all printings since then (my copy, for example) has it listed correctly as a 19-20. But, to my knowledge, it has not beeno fficially converted to 3.5. But the stats...

Except that, in the FAQ, this exact question is raised, and the FAQ specifically states that a Feat IS an effect. Honestly, this entire debate wouldn't exist if people just read the FAQ. It's right there, plain and simple. You can choose to not allow it, which is fine- just be aware that you're...
