Here's something to put it in perspective. Everyone can pinpoint the location of someone with partial concealment (20% miss chance). If pinpointing bypasses concealment, what's the point of the 20% miss chance?

Well, in my case the DM had the planar invasion from another world. A dire thing indeed. An invasion that was halted when my character studied the language and culture of the invaders and realized that they simply wanted land. Since they come from a Suckworld (imagine Krypton from the Superman...

I will say this: some of those traits in Shackled City do a little more than what they say they do. All have a thematic connection to the setting and adventure.

Undead do pop up here and there. Shackled City does a good job in providing a wide variety of opponents. And who else is going to pwn the incorporeal undead that spring attacks in and out of the floor or wall?

To build a list, read the first chapter of the Book of Exalted Deeds, then build the specific examples that they provide on how to be good into a list of questions.

Before I game with a DM that I don't know, one of the questions I ask is: Are orcs and other evil humanoids people or monsters? If they are monsters, then it's like destroying undead and evil outsiders. Always a good act. If they are people, then killing orc babies are murder. When in doubt...

First, you can verify the scry sensor by making an intelligence check of DC 20. You can take 20 on this. Second, if you use the message spell you can communicate using whispers to each other. It would take a DC 25 Listen check to hear and understand the whispers. If you cover your mouths when...

Actually, he's being political.

My cleric of Denier introduced the printing press to the Forgotten Realms. What has your cleric done to advance their god's goals lately? :) My cleric doesn't know it, but several hundred years from now she will be regarded as one of the top five most influential people of the millenia in...

I do recommend the Radiant Servant of Pelor. Although Shackled City isn't an undead-heavy game, the prestige class also increases your ability to heal damage quite a bit. Also, the Shrine of Pelor in Shackled City is declining into oblivion and needs the visionary hand of a dynamic cleric such...

This is my system: Knowdedge([monster]): the DC to identify a monster with the relevant Knowledge skill is 10 + it’s CR. You recall a fact about the monster if you make it, and additional facts for every five points you make the roll. If you are successful, you can continue making knowledge...

I can see everyone is having fun with the results of this effect. But normally magic that changes size doesn't stack with itself.

I thought that iCon was a book about Steve Jobs.

Unearthed Arcana introduced Craft Points. Check it out.

The umber hulk did take its attack of opportunity. It wasn't a grab.

Inside the skull of a celestial baby.

Roy's opening move should have been to sunder the katana. "But beware. Anger, fear, aggression. The dark side are they. Once you start down the dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny"

Chargers should also focus on Jump. According to the FAQ if you can jump over an obstacle, it won't break your charge. Heh, my dwarven barbarian/spirit shaman jumped over a large umber hulk to charge the neogi that was behind it. That was fun. I needed a DC 40 jump check, I rolled a 3 and made...

If you want to avoid the annoying limitations of contingency, then make friends with the Craft Contingency feat from the Complete Arcane. It's brokenly good!

There's no vacuum of space in fantasy! You can fly to the moon if you want! Fantasy physics: if it wasn't known about or even imagined back in the middle ages, then it doesn't exist.
