3.5e DMG has a table for the total gp amount of NPC gear. But when you add PC class levels to a monster with racial HDs and/or LA, how much gp worth of equipment do you give it? #Example 1: Drow Sorcerer 10. He is a, CR 11 monster (PC class level 10 +1 CR) 10th-level sorcerer ECL 13 NPC...

I am planning to run some adventure or two (or maybe more) involves the remnant of ancient Suel Empire. So I am looking for information regarding it. Q1) Suloise and Ancient Suloise Several sauces say the language of the Suel Empire was Suloise. Also, in the 3.5e book Complete Arcane, in Suel...

I guess that is the RAI. But I was not 100% sure from RAW point of view, as all the rules are written under the sections named "Invisible" or "Invisibility".

Assuming you can only use 3 core books, Mithral Chain Shirt could be a way to go. 10% spell failure chance can be while sometimes painful, within practical range. You can also buy some Mithral Buckler. Better if you can buy an Animated one. But frankly speaking, such a gish (warrior/mage)...

How about using Unseen Seer prestige class from Complete Mage? This is a rogue/mage class which specializes in divinations. If you need a divine class rather than to be an arcane class, Shadowbane Stalker (and Shadowbane Inquisitor) prestige class in Complete Adventurer will do, possibly with...

Strictly speaking, what are the mechanic differences between being invisible and just having total concealment (such as Shadow Dragon in somewhat dark environment)? I know that invisible creatures can be seen via See Invisibility or similar abilities but something just have total concealment...

Hi! I am trying to run a campaign which involves the Shadow Plane. So as the first step, I am trying to pick up creatures living (or unliving) in the Shadow Plane. I started from the list shown in the Manual of Planes and then picked up some creatures from other WotC books. Would you please let...

Unfortunately, I need CL 13 to create the CL+1 tattoo..

Unlikely. A mount can carry only a rider plus CL x 10 lbs. of equipment. As far as I know all the PCs are medium-sized male humanoids.

I am going to join in a ongoing game, which is now at 9th level and have 5 PCs. So, including my PC, the party will be composed of 6 PCs. And I am planning to play a Fighter/Mage type PC (Wizard/Duskblade/Spellsword/Abjurant Champion) who can cast Ethereal Mount spell (SPC) for accelerating...

Yes, but it also says And PHB version of the spell description is longer and has more suggestion and example about this. IMHO, the cultist wishes something too great and meeting terrible end will be far much interesting than the Wish simply copying a L8 spell. Maybe, instead of a powerful...

Well, if you think about that kind of change, you should better think about opponents' tactical decisions, too, IMHO. Unlike 4e defenders, 3.5e tanks do not have real way to keep melee opponents in one place. At lower level, AoO is enough threat. But at higher level, most opponents, especially...

Many of the monsters can be PCs. And monsters (not only monster PCs) can have PC class levels and then combine BAB from their racial HDs and Class levels. Thus, "PC melee class only" does not work within the framework of 3.Xe system.

At higher level games (I mean, 15+), save nagates spells become really weak. Save half may work. But making ray (or other ranged touch spells) into save nagates will make encounters against higher level monsters (especially outsiders and dragons) really hard.

Yep. Fighters may not learn how to cast spells. But learn how to RESIST magics (base save bonus and HDs) for surviving 100 magically enhanced fights. Up to 3.5e D&D, most spellcasters don't have at-will magic. So there are times when they have to use physical or near-physical attacks. But...

Just a random thought but .. Maybe you can make a totally non-adventuring NPC caster class, who gains XPs not from adventuring but from researching/trading magic items only, who can cast as strong spells as an adventuring wizard but has no BAB.

The same logic can be applied to other type of characters and abilities. Why a melee warrior should be more mentally stronger? Why a priest must be more reflexive than usual people? etc., etc. But my understanding is, all the higher level PCs of D&D are great heroes and they are somewhat...

Thanks I found it. But strictly speaking, that is 3.0e book. Does somebody know if it is re-written in some 3.5e book or not?

Actually, specialized wizards gains extra spell slots only. They do not gain extra spells known.

I am standing on "Sorcerer needs no more fixing" side. In my experience, both wizard and sorcerer have their own edge. Wizard has much better at learning and using skills. But having high Cha has it's own reward. Regarding the use of metamagic feats, except for Quicken spell, sorcerer simply...
