Is there something like potion bandoleer, which allows a PC to retrieve a potion or a similar item easily and/or quickly? Or was that an item in other editions of D&D?

IMHO, fort and will are more important than ref to be a tough tank. A failed ref save often mean higher damage. But with high HPs, you can withstand. But a failed fort or will often incapacitate you immediately. Taking a level of Dragonslayer (Draconomicon) is not a bad idea. It will give you...

As already noted, casting Fabricate will allow a dwarf to create a MWK item instantly, provided he can beat DC 20 with his Craft Weapon skill check. Also, with Wish spell you can immediately make or upgrade a magic item, provided you can spend enough XPs. So, if the clan has multiple magi who...

Thank you for a detailed answer. Sorry I must spread more XPs before giving it to you. It seems that training animals can indeed be interesting. The problem is, my play group rarely play campaigns with a lot of down time. The situation tend to be always tight. A PC tend to level-up several...

I have several questions regarding tricks and animals. #1. Can a usual Warhorse attack unnatural creatures? PHB P.74 "Handle Animal - Teach an Animal a Trick" says that an animal with an can learn maximum of six tricks. And "Attack" paragraph says Teaching an animal to attack all creatures...

I have never played higher epic level campaign with pencil and paper D&D. Only one of my 3.5e campaign hit 21st-level and that was the highest level game. From those experiences, I tend to agree with you that flight and pouncing become very common. Still, I do not agree with you that "the...

If the campaign is likely to hit Epic levels, keeping BAB and Base Saves as high as possible at character level 20th is ideal. Because, after hitting level 20th, your BAB and Base Saves start to gain bonuses based solely on your character level. After that, each class's BAB/SAVE progressions...

What is the starting level of your game? And how long will it likely to continue? At higher level, all the L1 spells can be easily usable via some kind of magic items. Anyway, assuming that is a lower level game, Alter Self (Could be really good if you are a Wyrmwrought) Golem Strike (If your...

In case of Greater Many Shot (Expanded Psionics Handbook) , precision-based damage applies to all the arrows. So, it could be a better option indeed, as Travel Devotion has limited use/day. With appropriate feats and skills, a scout just tumble away from an opponent and use Greater Many Shot...

Molten Strike spell in Heroes of Battle says, Now, assume I apply Energy Substitution (Cold) to this spell. It is obvious that the initial 2d6 fire damage is now 2d6 cold damage. But what will happen to catches fire part? A) The target will still catches fire and takes additional fire...

Because, in overall, Cleric, Sorcerer & Wizard are considered to be much better as pure caster.

Then feed them via Create Food and Water spells. Non-chaotic non-evil people will prefer not to commit war at least while they can live without risking their lives.

Maybe. But while there are a lot of spell-casting creatures which have alien vocal organs and/or different kind of (or no) limbs, I cannot find any rule in core books which suggests that spellcraft skill should be treated differently for, or by, such creatures. Non-intelligent foes do not...

By RAW, opponents with spellcraft skill can still understand which spell are you casting, by watching/hearing your modified Somatic/Verbal components. At level 15th, flying is quite a popular ability and not particularly a good defense. And You are staying in one place while casting a Summon...

Regarding World Peace. Let all the humanoids afflicted by werebear lycanthropy. All the citizens of humanoid countries will become LG. Also, even the weakest of those civilians can fight well against evil monsters. They can eventually defeat all the evils on the Earth.

What should be the reasonable limit on Warshaper's Morphic Weapons class feature? It says These morphic weapons need not be natural weapons that the creature already possesses. But, say, allowing a warshaper to spout multiple tentacles will be definitely too powerful.

If your play group uses only 3 core books, the main problem of fighting in wild shape form will be the low AC and relatively low saving throws. Regarding AC, either buy some barding and let your friends help wearing this after shaping. Or, let your party Sorcerer/Wizard cast Mage Armor spell on...

The SRD says, And the official update for Complete Champion says, Now, assume a 10th-level Wizard gains Magic Domain granted power. Does that mean he can use spell completion or spell trigger activation items as a 15th-level Wizard? If so, now he can activate a CL 15 scroll without making a...

Simplifying and giving many options are somewhat mutually exclusive. The current domain rules are somewhat complex. You can create tons of various with the combination of domains (and feats and such). Also, each domains are not equally powerful. Thus, I do not recommend to use the existing D&D...

Thanks. That is perfect for my need. So a Feycraft or Githcraft Mithral Full-Plate with Twilight property has arcane spell failure chance of only 10%. And thus a level dip in Spellsword allows a PC to wear it without any failure chance!
