My players just don't upgrade their weapons. Not intentionally, just that they all are incredibly impatient. They Whine and Moan about how long it takes to enchant something. But the PCs put up with it for about a week of game time. Then 2 or 3 of the fighting types go off on a side quest. Not...

I have no idea how people get the idea into their heads that specializing increases the DC of the spells cast from that school. Perhaps its the +2 on Spellcraft checks that make people confused. But I see it all the time. I even have to correct my own players once in a while. And now the debate...

49. Take a trip into the underdark wearing nothing but a loincloth and the words "Lolth's mother was a pixie, and her father was a dust mite" tattooed across your chest. 50. Kill the good-aligned NPC that is holding the campaign story together. Then inform the DM that you saw through his/her...

I have been uneasy on 3.5e from the beginning. When I first heard of it i thought: "Whoo hoo! WotC is going to finally fix the three H's, and put all of the other errata into a new printing of the book". A few weeks later I learned of other rules changes, things that have never struck me as...

This was answered already. Forcecage has no save. It was confimed a while ago that Read Lips is part of spot and sense motive.

No one has said specialization improved the DC of the specialist's school.

103) What is the Duration of Greater Magic Weapon? (I figure if the Animal buff spells changed, this probably did too)

I always thought that specializing in 3e was pretty balanced. Not only did you lose a school (or Three), but you also are very limted in what spells you get for free when you level up. Most people forget that When choosing the 2 new spells at level time, 1 of them must be from your specialized...

While I have had many character names, my favorite is: Jack Ash A wisecracking Fatespinner with a gambling problem. A combination of two of my favorite TV characters: Jack O'Neill (From Stargate SG-1) and Ash (Evil Dead).

I have my own system that seems to work pretty well. The New PC loses a level and is at 1/2 the XP towards the old level (just like Raise Dead). However. The PC also gets to retain all XP from that day's session, including XP gained from the (now dead) character. If the Newly dead character...

Hmm, still no word from Roy. I suspect a black helicopter came to his house in the night, Landed on the roof, and goons dressed in black with WotC logos on their hats came and abducted him in the night. Each of these goons were wielding +1 Clubs of Silencing.

I think starting as a rogue is an excellent idea. Just a couple of ideas to think about: You might not want to use a campaign setting at all. They have a lot of details that are easy to get caught up in, and many have too much of a focus on fantastic creatures, magic, etc. Just place your...

He might not be able to answer all of these questions, but if he does, he will be elevated to godhood on these boards.

I was focusing on low-level casters and 3e Haste's usefulness at those levels. Haste can be cast by a 5th level wizard, so it is best to compare it with characters at the minimum levels to cast the spell. The new haste is better for parties at lower levels than the old one. Imagine Haste being...

I would like to boost Scion of Vyshaan's ego a bit more by saying I agree wholeheartedly. I get more than a little annoyed with posters on this board who view dissenting opinion as the "wrong" opinion.

In an effort to avoid taking sides in the Mages stronger/weaker in 3.5 debate, I am just going to point out some Thoughts: It is not a handful of people complaining. While I am too lazy to search the boards and write down names, I am certain there are more unique usernames unhappy with the...

I prefer to have magic items so exceedingly rare that when the party runs into an NPC with a magic item, someone immediately suggests killing him and taking the item in question. This gives me (the DM) great control over the game. The first advantage of such a system is that it gives evil...

31. Fixed.

22. Any spell beginning with "H". 23. errata 24. 4e 25. 1 Min/Level 26. Abidexterity

Well, first of all, If you have 1/2 or better cover, you dont get attacks of opportunity against you. Its very clear on page 132 of the PHB. Not alot of room open to "DM Interpretation". It is my understanding that 3.5 shield is only getting clarifications, not a total rewrite. I believe (but...
