    Spell-Like Ability and Spell Level

    Shade in Races of Faerune has several SP abilities. Some of them does not mimic existing spells. From RoF P.149 It is somewhat strange that persistent ability such as Shadesight is classified as SP. Anyway, equivalent spell level does matter when a shade is affected by Globe of Invulnerability...

    Spell-Like Ability and Spell Level

    Thanks but what I am looking for is Spell level (equivalent spell level), not Caster level.

    Spell-Like Ability and Spell Level

    When a Spell-Like ability does not duplicate a specific spell and no spell-level is written, how much should be the effective spell-level of that ability? I think I saw some guideline in somewhere but cannot find it now.

    Shade Questions

    Shade template in "Races of Farune" puzzles me. It says, Then it has the following ability, Assume a shade was dark or dim-lit area at the start and then used this ability, now a 10+ level shade can automatically diminish all the light within 100 ft. by 100% and can become a "moving sphere...

    Looking for a Feat - Bow Sniper

    There is Able Sniper feat in Races of Wild and Crossbow Sniper feat in PHB2. But it seems that a feat called Bow Sniper is not in 3.5e WotC books. http://archive.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/lists/feats

    D&D 3.x 3.0e/3.5e Elemental Prince stats? (Other than Imix)

    There is the stats block of Imix in Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil adventure. Does any of the 3e/3.5e books have the stats for other Elemental Princes? I am not trying to use a certain Elemental Prince but instead trying to make an Elemental Prince of Shadow (Shadow Elemental) for my...

    Orog (Deep Orc) - CR?

    Actually, CR modifier and LA are different beasts. Usually, CR modifier is 1-2 or even much lower than one's LA. For example, Drow is LA +2 as a PC/NPC but CR is PC class level +1. Though, it is widely considered to be overestimated (a Drow NPC tend to be weak for it's CR or EL). A Hound...

    Orog (Deep Orc) - CR?

    Yes. LA is +2. I think with this value most of the players will either choose a usual Orc (LA +0) or Half-Ogre (same LA +2, but Large sized), instead.

    Duergar mob (DMG2)

    Shouldn't the fighter be allowed to make an AoO for preventing grab? In most cases, a mob does not have Improved Grapple nor Improved Grab. Edit: Also, a mob can only grab a foe only when the mob has already moved over the opponent's space. A mob's reach is 0 ft.

    Duergar mob (DMG2)

    I am thinking about using mob rule (in DMG2, P.59) for representing army units in med-teen level campaign. Anyway, DMG2 says a mob is composed of 48 small/medium creatures or 12 large creatures. Well, what should happen when a mob of Duergar warriors use their Enlarge Person ability? Should I...

    A quick draw/sneak attack feat

    It is neither feat nor skill trick but there is an entry in Complete Warrior P.122 which expands the usage of Sleight of Hand skill. You can quick draw a dagger palmed in your hand and make your opponent flat-footed (only for one attack, though).

    Orog (Deep Orc) - CR?

    Races of Faerun has the stats for Orog as a PC race. But it does not show the CR for Orogs as monsters. Comparing to the usual Orcs, Orogs have +2 higher Str but -2 lower Dex. Orogs have better mental stats but those are not so important in most cases, as they tend to be warriors than to be...

    D&D 3.x Using chariots in 3.5e?

    That's an idea! I do not need to re-base or make some socket-base.

    D&D 3.x Using chariots in 3.5e?

    3.0e Arms and Equipment Guide had rules for vehicles, including chariots. Now I have several of this Orc Boar Chariot from Warhammer Fantasy battle (already assembled and painted) and thinking about using in my D&D 3.5e game. When assembled the chariot and two boars fits on roughly 2" by 4"...

    True Seeing, two questions

    From SRD "True Seeing" Emphasis added by me. Q1) "fog and the like" Should "fog and the like" include fogs created by spells or magical abilities, such as solid fog or stinking cloud? or not? Q2) Hide in plain sight Now, some classes and creatures have "Hide in Plain Sight" ability. How...

    Romancing some true dragons

    Maybe I can restrict the item so that the user can turn into one exact race, say, circlet of human form? It may lower the price, depending on how physically strong the race is.

    How do you introduce technology into a fantasy game?

    Aside from Pathfinder world, Eberron world is a good example of a fantasy world with a bit of technology added. Many of the "machines" there are fueled by magic and elementals, but that is just a flavor. You can always change that background and say those machines are the result of some...
