No, but it should.

Clearly his players are assuming something else. Such as: every encounter can be defeated with melee combat. Thus the explicitness.

Inform the player that out-of-reach opponets is a tactical scenario that their characters should be prepared for. This is a problem solving excercize with many solutions available. The player can choose to pursue the solutions, or the player can choose to lose. There are going to be situations...

I have created a "microartifact" fullblade intended for the barbarian player that included the following special ability: I have no idea how much this would be worth in gp.

Can you give examples why? I don't want to drive my DM up a wall. Sometimes I just don't know what to do.

If your party has a mage with a familiar, the familiar has two free ring slots for more Rings of Counterspeling. Casting your buffs while under the effect of the Bead of Karma, that feat that lets you use a turn attempt to boost your caster level, and the +1 caster level ioun stone will make...

Although golems are immune to magic and have high DR, they are suseptable to alchemical fire and acid. If you aren't playing a power hitter or a spellcater with SR-bypassing spells, then loading up on alchemical fire is the thing to do. You only need to hit their touch AC, which is low.

By the book, no. But something that most DMs are quick to house rule to: yes.

Sometimes there comes a situation where I don't know how my character would react, despite detailing their personality and drives. When that occurs I pull out a d10 and roll it to answer the question "on a scale from one to ten, what does my character think about [noun or adjective]?" A one...

If you are concerned about having to represent the base class in your campaign when a player starts playing a class that has never appeared, just have the PC be the first one ever to appear in your game world. After all, someone had to be the first one. Why not the PC?

It's not just to increase power. I have been lucky enough to have played a lot of D&D in the last twenty years, particularly 3e. I have played the base classes and races repeatedly, in many varied combinations. The fact is I have been feeling...sated and would like to play some other RPGs just...

I have seen a house rule where sorcerers gets Use Magic Device & Intimidate as class skills and four skill points per level, but lose the ability to cast scrolls, wands, and staffs like they do now. Instead they can only automatically use spell trigger and spell completion magic items of spells...

Have an ally pull you along with a rope. An animated skeleton will do. :)

In 1st edition my character wished that her fly spell had a permanent duration and she got it, although she lost a CON point for it which mirrored how the permanancy spell worked. I was cool with that. So, what I would recommend is that the character would receive a swim spell (from the...

Consider taking Warlock as your "archer" class. Ninja/Warlock would rawk! Would the Practiced Spellcaster feat upkeep the damage done by the eldrich blast?

I'm looking forward to playing a kobold beguiler in an upcoming campagn. Small size arcane caster with 30 move and three more points of AC than a human? I'm there! And these bonuse racial abilities is icing on the cake.
