    Scarlet Brotherhood agent disguise

    Assuming a Scarlet Brotherhood agent is a pure Suloise and has blond hairs and blue eyes, what are the practical ways to avoid suspicion? In my ongoing campaign, PCs are already at L11. A wizard PC has Arcane Sight always on via permanency and thus illusion or transformation spells cast on the...

    Magic Item "as if"

    Thank you all for opinions. I can give the outsider some psionic item based on Expansion power instead.

    Magic Item "as if"

    Belt of Growth (Magic Item Compendium P.73) says, In such a case, should an item affects on a non-humanoid (say, an outsider)?

    Dracolich and healing?

    Usual lich has touch attack which inflicts negative energy damage. So it can heal itself. But Dracolich lacks that attack. Other than using potion/scroll/staff/wand (either via UMD or he is blue/red), is there any good way (such as item) for a dracolich to heal himself?

    Give me some build idea for Scarlet Brotherhood villains

    My current campaign will involve some encounter with Scarlet Brotherhood agents, though the Brotherhood is not the main opponent of the campaign. Anyway, I want to let appear 2-3 distinctive Scarlet Brotherhood monk NPCs. The problem is, monk class is rather weak. I guess single class monk will...

    Eldritch Disciple/Hellfire Warlock

    One of my player has created a Cleric/Warlock/Eldritch Disciple/Hellfire Warlock. So I want to clarify some rules related to Healing Blast (Eldritch Disciple) and Hellfire Blast (Hellfire Warlock). 1) Hellfire Damage Should the entire damage from a Hellfire Blast is Hellfire Damage? Or only the...

    Using Shadow Walk spell ON the plane of shadow?

    The description of the Shadow Walk spell is assuming that the caster is on the material plane. But what will happen if someone tries to cast Shadow Walk when the caster is on the Plane of Shadow? Should the spell simply fail? Or should the caster travel faster on the Plane of Shadow? Or else?

    Divine Ward feat (PHB2)

    As the party of my current campaign (I am the DM) need a NPC healer, I am toying with an idea of a cleric who can save a dead friend from distance. Can dead characters still be the subject of Divine Ward feat? Can they still considered to be characters? The spells in my mind are Gentle Repose...

    Just for curiosity. Why there is no Neutral Good or Neutral Evil dragon?

    Wow! I was not expecting to see a reply to such an old thread. Thank you very much! So, the alignment of the 10 traditional true dragons are the remnant of 5 alignment system.

    MM4: Voor (Yugoloth)

    When reading MM4 today, I found that Voor is blind but only has blindsense, not blindsight. It does not have Blind-Fight feat either. Does that mean Voor always suffer 50% miss-chance when attacking? Does that also mean Voor is always denied it's Dex bonus to AC? Am I missing something? As one...

    Social status in Suel Imperium?

    I have just started a new campaign which involves the remnant Suel Imperium. They are the descendants of Suloise whom escaped into the Plane of Shadow just before the cataclysm (now they are turned into Shades and Dark Creatures). I am wondering how non-mages, especially clerics and other...

    D&D 3.x 3.5e : Mirror Image and Concealment

    A short question. When a character has Mirror Image spell active and also has concealment (and similar miss-chance giver such as Displacement), should the mirrored images also have concealment?

    Chainmail

    There are a lot of cool minis which are wearing chainmail. But in 3.5e, chainmail is simply inferior to breastplate. What is worse, medium armor is not popular at all. When someone want a really nice medium armor, one tend to buy a suit of mithral full-plate. Anyway, I am looking for some...

    Hexblade, Dark Companion & Knowledge check

    Do you allow PCs (and NPCs) to make knowledge check for recognizing Hesblade's Dark Companion (PHB2) to be not a real creature but an effect created by the class feature? I guess Knowledge (Arcana) should work but am not sure how much DC should be appropriate.

    The Plane of Shadow: Dimly Lit?

    From SRD, emphasis added by me, So, the plane of shadow is a dimly lit dimension without light source like the sun and such. Does that mean everywhere is dimly lit 24 hours per day? Including inside the buildings and underground area? That makes some sense as complete darkness does not make...

    Area dispel and area spells/SLAs centered on the caster

    From SRD "Dispel Magic", Assuming a spell/SLA's area is centered on a caster/user (like Magic Circle), and that area overlaps the area of dispel magic spell and the dispel check is successful. What will happen? Will the effect's area become something like, say, a crescent? What will happen if...

    Caltrops and Mirror Image?

    Thanks. I have overlooked that part. I was thinking about using Caltrops spell and it seems that the spell ignores the images either, as the cltrops created by the spell attacks, not the caster. Is there any good spells to erase (not just ignore) Mirror Image?

    D&D 3.x Newer/3.5e version of Shade template?

    Thanks. It seems that both Low-Light and Shield of Shadows are coming from that class.

    Shadow Mastif as a familiar?

    Does any of the official books allow a wizard to take a Shadow Mastiff as a familiar? If not, assuming the wizard takes Improved Familiar feat, what kind of requirement (say, caster level, BAB and such) will be appropriate?
