The "magic item slot" restriction is a good idea. We have skill-increasing items, but as another poster also did, they are limited to a few uses a day, or even charges. Manuals aren't banned in our games, because the cost is appropriate. Anyway, thanks for all the replies.

We don't ban the spells, as they have a duration of roughly one combat or one specific situation, but the gloves etc. work all day long. Skill-boosting spells we have removed like Glibness etc. I should say that the entire group felt this way, it's not like I am making all the rules of the...

Well, I've banned all stat and skill-increasing items from the game. Actually I did this a few years ago, but now a couple of new players are joining the game, new to 3.5 and the first thing they bought when generating characters were these kinds of items, because they are just that good. I...

SentryBox out of Canada has been very helpful to me, although I haven't ordered yet. http://www.sentrybox.com/ Otherwise I mostly use Amazon.com and Amazon.co.uk (although I am regretting having ordered Castles & Crusades now that you guys say it will take ½ a year to get it!)

Every game group has problems such as these. Sometimes you need to just take it and keep playing. Continually arguing with the GM about rules issues and telling other people they need to consider this and that can also contribute to a degenerating gaming session, I know because I have seen it...

$25 for a .pdf?! No way in hell, I just ordered Advanced Player's Guide off amazon for $23. Thanks for the explanations though ;-)

If anyone is interested in my improved spells in the "Nystul's" style, I can email them to you. Just drop me a line at sbkREMOVE@DELETEimage.dk

Great response! I will be looking into Book of the Immortal and Advanced Player's Option for sure. Quickleaf: I love your ideas! Consider them copied and saved ;) Man-thing: What is DRM and DTRPG?

Nystul's Undetectable Aura is an illusion spell that can easily be used to bypass Detect Magic. We use it all the time in campaigns, it's great! We also have a 2nd and 4th level version of the spell, with better duration.

Sounds like a computer game end-boss. Make sure the players have an idea that this guy will respawn several times, it could really make people lose their tempers if they are not forewarned "oh no, not AGAIN!" But several options is always a good idea, and it sounds kinda cool for sure!

Frankly, I don't like the Epic Level Handbook a whole lot. My campaign is nearing 20th level, and I was hoping that someone knew of alternate rules, or maybe even books devoted to this. It has to be D20-friendly, and preferably useful in a fantasy setting.

Thanks guys, quick and good replies as always! I think the DM forgot that option, but as I said we played it as only one hit back, even though the fight would have been easier if the 68 damage had gone in ;-)

This came up last night.. I was attacked by a dragon, and hit five times. Does the damage from Fire Shield work per attack, or per round, because the spell doesn't really specify this. We used per attack, and the dragon sustained 68 points of damage.. That seemed a bit much, so we ruled it...

My alternate paladin I thought this might be worth linking too (tooting my own horn) http://www.enworld.org/forums/showthread.php?t=109401

Thanks for your comments, and thanks for that great link! Regarding the above, we have playtested it with a core paladin, and made some combats with fiends, and the core paladin actually does better every single time, mainly because of the spells (Divine Favour, Bull's Strength, Prayer and...

Okay, here's the final class build, we are currently playtesting it.. If anyone wants a more detailed (and nicer looking) Word-document with it, please email me at sbk AT image DOT dk ALTERNATE PALADIN Alignment: Lawful good. Hit Die: d10. Class Skills The paladin's class skills (and the key...

True Death: No, but he must have participated in the given combat. Remove etc.: Caster level is the Paladins level, and yes he has to specify the use. Turning: Yes, there will be added resistance in the form of Cha or similar (GM's call) Thanks for the feedback.. Over- or underpowered?

So would you say over- or underpowered all in all? How does this table look in comparison. I included Divine Might and Circle of Pro. vs. Demons, put Final Stand a level up, and removed Gift of Grace. I also made it 1/day for the abilities, although I really think that skews the power...

Hi, I posted my Alternate Paladin in the House Rules forum, but am in fact looking for more general feedback on the class, as it is a tweak from the core class. I am hoping that some of the resident rules people here on EN World would give me a few suggestions and see if it is balanced or not...

I am re-doing the Paladin core class, and making him less of a divine spellcaster/undead hunter and more of a demon hunter. I think the Core Rules Paladin is a bit boring after level 5, and decided to change him quite drastically. This guy basically doesn't like fiends, that's demons and...
