Some of the weathers created via Control Weather spell, such as fog, obscures sight and give some degree of concealment to creatures. But non of the weather conditions listed in DMG or SRD specifically says that it diminishes illumination level to dim or darkness. Should a creature in, say...

Is there any effective feat or prestige class for a Rogue/Cleric (or other divine class) or Rogue Bard villains? Fochlucan lyrist may work but it does need both Bard and Druid levels and a character must be at least 10th-level before entering this prestige class. Skullclan Hunter, Daggerspell...

Usually, simply banning that feat is the most trouble-free way to go. That feat is not written in the "Arcane Feats" section but in a separate column in Chapter 7. And that column specifically mentions that "If the DM wants the abilities of 1st-level wizards to reflect their training ..."

OK, let's assume that a dragon and the partner do at least date in town, not just making children. Hmm, possibly, If a magic item polymorphs the user only into a certain race or creature type, it can be cheaper. That can be another good option. Ah, I see. Yeah in 3.0e polymorph was often...

Some of the true dragons have Alternate Form ability and can take the shape of a member of PC races, without any time limit. Other sources suggesting that true dragons, especially those without Alternate Form ability, use Polymorph or similar spells. But Alter Self can only change them into...

Thanks. It seems that I can use it as a pure adventure hook without much restriction. On the other hand, I have to make up everything. But that is fun:D

3.0e Living Greyhawk Gazetteer and other books mentions that a tunnel which lead to the Sea of Dust, supposedly the Passage of Slerotin, used by the Suel during the Great Migrations, was found in a part pf Yeomanry. And a town called Dark Gate was established near the Yeomanry side of the...

Well, actually, according to Tome of Magic P.117, a mystery user can be benefited from "+1 level of existing spellcasting class" or "+1 level of existing casting class". And a shadowcaster qualify a character for prestige classes if the requirement does not specify type (arcane or divine). In...

One of my friend found this map somewhere on the web, it has the notion of the Oerth Journal on the corner. I have downloaded the Oerth Jounal #1-#26, but could not found this or similar map on them. Do somebody know from where this map came from?

There are some good psionic/rogue prestige classes such as Shadowmind (Complete Adventurer) and Mindspy (Complete Warrior). You may use such classes if you want. But as long as you use the default rule in 3.5e Psionics Handbook, psionics can be countered by spells and vise versa. So, even if...

I started to read that issue of Oerth Jounal but the south and west of the Sea of Dust is ...... East Asian like? That is not what a I was expecting to see. Hmmm ..... maybe I should stick to Flanaess after all.

Wow, that is a big work. Who are those authors?

Is it possible to make a Warrior Mage (Gish) build using Shadow Caster (Tome of Magic)? Shadowsmith prestige class is a kind or warrir/mystery caster, but not based on Shadow Caster class and can use only 3 mysteries at best. At this moment, the only "Gish" prestige class I could find for a...

Maybe there are some words or movements which, if used by someone with a talent of magic, cause really minor effects such as slightly worming up nearby air for a short time, or create a small spark. Those words or movements themselves may be insignificant to be called a spell. But if a sorcerer...

Though innate, a Sorcerer is still using "spells". He naturally aware that, say, he can create a big fireball using bat guano. It is like a talented caveman re-invent how to make up a fire by using flint and steel, without being taught about it by someone else. But that sorcerer still needs some...

A DM can prevent scry and teleport tactics in various way. A villain may be using nondetection, or may just have high enough will save. Or, always moving, invisible, in dark places and such. But how a DM can prevent PCs from using Scry Location (Complete Scoundrel) and Teleport to an enemy's...

Thank you all for replying. So, at least there is no countermeasures easily available to various characters and creatures. Hmm ... it seems that just banning the spell (and the lessor one) is the way to go

+2 Attack roll modifier is in P.151 Table 8-5. And that table says when the attacker is "Invisible". "Listen Check DCs to Detect Invisible Creatures" Table and related rules are in DMG P.295 under "Invisibility" entry. And the entry does not say if that is applicable to a creature who has total...

Shivering Touch is widely known to be one of the most broken spell in 3.5e. But before simply banning this (and the lessor one) in my next game, I want to re-check if PCs and villains can take reasonable countermeasures or not. What kind of spells, items, abilities and such are known to be...
