Anything vulnerable to mind-affecting effects is susceptible to Hold Monster.

You seem to have it down pretty good. As far as XP is concerned, though, he starts off at 0 XP. So to advance his class level to 2, he's gotta get 6,000 more xp. So the rest of the group will be levelling up and gaining HP and saves and whatnot, and he'll stay just the way he is (crappy hit...

Note that HiPS doesn't require you to be in the dark, or even be obscured by darkness at all. All it requires is for you to be within 10 feet of a shadow. Therefore, it's reasonable to assume that Darkvision would do nothing, since there's no mention of being in the dark, and Darkvision doesn't...

With the exception of not being able to get extra skill points from an Intelligence-boosting item (which is specifically spelled out in the item's description), the rules make absolutely no distinction between a magically-boosted stat and a non-boosted stat. A Cleric with a 19 Wisdom is, in...

The only time that this PC tactic really bothers me is when the PCs just get cocky with it. I was playing in a (~5th level) game once where a PC went off on his own in the shadier part of town, and started asking some questions he shouldn't have asked. Next thing he knew, as he was walking into...

Sure- there's no reason why not. (If someone makes their save against Charm Person, there's nothing stopping you from casting it on them again, right?) However, the deceased can always choose to not come back, no matter how many times they try.

Eh? I could have sworn it was taken out... hmm...

Actually, the terms non-dimensional and extradimensional are used pretty much interchangeably, depending on the source. (I, for one, have never heard of a bag of holding referred to as a non-dimensional space, it's always the example of an extradimensional space in my mind.) Anyway, as far as...

So, hang on... it makes a direct reference to that damage dealt, yet it doesn't mention damage dealt? What feat is this again?

To add in some more ridiculousness, a lot of people rule that if you're under the effects of a Ray of Enfeeblement spell, you CAN'T have your Strength reduced below 1. So even if you're hit by a dozen Shadows all getting crits on you, supposedly it makes sense that you aren't affected whatsoever...

It's a bit far down the road, but Rings of Wizardry are amazing once you can afford to get them.

I'd just give him a Rod of Prestidigitation (900 gp for a held item of it), and write out 20 random things it could do beforehand, then roll 1d20 for it. Let's see if I can come up with a good on-the-spot list: 1. Create a small implement (fork, spoon, tuning fork). 2. Move an object weighing...

I actually thought of that after I posted it, but I decided to leave it the way it was. :-P

Because it emulates the Fireball spell, which allows a Reflex save for half damage?

There's always the Clockwork Horrors from the MM2. There's four of them, arranged in order of power, as well as by metal type (electrum horrors are the weakest, then gold horrors, platinum horrors, and then their leader, the adamantine horror). If I recall, they're all lower than CR 10 (is the...

Hmm... my suggestion would be to price it like a weapon, but, say, triple the cost. In other words, exactly the same as an Amulet of Mighty Fists. Because that is, after all, exactly what it does. Think of it this way. He's getting an enhancement bonus to his main weapon that can never be...

That is not at all the case. If it were, the second-to-last adventure of the Age of Worms adventure path would be completely pointless- the entire adventure is based around destroying a dracolich after finding its phylactery in the previous adventure. If they could kill him by destroying the...

This feat is WAY too good. Every single caster who ever lived would have this feat. Practically free way to almost double your save DCs? Sign me up! Not only is this spell amazing good, it doesn't even make sense. It's poorly worded. Does it provide a natural armor bonus, or DR? Because if it...

Here's what you do. Lure them onto a pocket Demiplane (created by a 20th-level Cleric with the Genesis spell [Complete Divine], or by a high-level Plane Shifter [Manual of the Planes]), and have the creator of said plane name it something like "Freeport" or "Waterdeep" or "Bob's House". Ambush...

Well, it's probably not exactly what you're looking for (since it's a homebrewed magic item, and has never been priced out or anything), but there's a magic item that keeps popping up in pretty much every campaign I run- it's a magical bow called Tharalar's Fist. A friend of mine DMed a game...
