    Encounter with a good aligned vampire, what do you do?

    I suspect the grief the Religious crowd gave TSR/WOTC during the 1980s simply for having demons and devils in the game was more than sufficient incentive for them to avoid openly raising the issue of questionable morality, with confidence any group sufficiently capable of discussing such Mature...

    Transumuting weapons and the DR/xEpic

    IMO it would work ... provided the weapon in question had been crafted with the Epic creation feat to overcome the normal +5 enhancement bonus limitations.

    Dragon Bloodline

    yes, once the feat becomes available once you meet the prereq just like any other (in this case, +4 bab and some form of natural attack) and once taken would apply to any instance you use that attack form ... so taking INA(Claws) would apply to your bloodline claws, those via dragon form, and...

    First timer's First Question

    I believe his point was its far more beneficial to simply purchase/commission "routine" magic items and spend the corresponding time accomplishing the group's primary goal(s) instead of forcing the group to lay around while you "waste time" crafting for the insignificant discount. Granted, your...

    Need help solving a question

    dont have my sources handy, but IRC the yugoloths are LN Outsiders so perchance summoning one of their Baenloths (cr Semeska's(sp) storyhour) might be a viable option, albeit a costly one given their mercenary natures.

    WotC Announces New Chapter for D&D

    and the sad thing is ..... is this a joke or a humorously-veiled prophecy of WOTC's ultimate intent to blend their two major brands (D&D, MtG) to make the game even easier and user-friendly than ever??

    Panicing D&D 3.5 DM!

    bottom line: he can min/max to his heart's content, but ultimately his choice of undead minions is limited to the selection, you as dm, decide to provide ... so while he may WANT a flight of undead dragon minions to further his concept, they tend to be solitary creatures to begin with and quite...

    Item Creation rules

    While I agree the #days,gp were established in RAW as a means of game balance and fully agree they should be applied accordingly for CUSTOM items, feel it only reasonable to question the logic of maintaining those particular limits on Crafters when they might otherwise simply travel to one of...

    Item Creation rules

    the other thing to consider is while RAW bases the time on a single 8-hour work shift per day, MANY people routinely do double-shifts in real-life without magic -- so doing so in-game should be just as plausible. accordingly, I'd rule the aforementioned ring of sustenance/similar magic would...

    Review of the New Online Version of Monster Builder by WotC

    In other words WOTC considered this "improvement" to be a vital module for the pending VTT so provided its development team with the necessary resources to ensure it met/exceeded those requirements. Therefore, we (as end-users), should expect VTT to be a complete and udder flop of similar...

    Giant Owl Familiar

    True Greenfield, purchasing a trained owl would be far cheaper/efficient if all he's looking for is a simple aerial mount -- however if he wants it to have the familiar features then he'll need whatever combination of feats/items/spells his GM approves. If allowed, a single use of Mongoose's...

    Can an inherent bonus be greater than +5?

    Agreed, I always interpreted the Wish as self-limiting to five castings per Instant to prevent creative self-replicating effects from infinite-looping to Pun-Pun levels.

    Can an inherent bonus be greater than +5?

    Guess the follow-up question (likely answered someplace): The Wish's inherent bonus is an Instantaneousness permanent adjustment to the base ability score and thus not subject to dispelling/etc. As such, the "inherent bonus" rules would only apply during the instant the spell is cast, since...

    Unusual Magic Weapons

    sounds like a kobold creation to assist with underground hit-n-run trap tactics ... set the trip-weight higher than normal on pressure plates so you're side wont trigger but the hammered foe WILL for the 30sec duration (and take bonus damage from resulting fall like a reversed feather-fall)...

    Help with a summoner build

    "In addition, magic items interfere with the summoner’s connection to his eidolon. As a result, the summoner and his eidolon share magic item slots. For example, if the summoner is wearing a ring, his eidolon can wear no more than one ring. In case of a conflict, the items worn by the summoner...

    Create Water... Too Powerful?

    its one of those spells that looks "dangerous" at face value but is already well-nerfed because while they CAN cast it at-will, the resulting water drains away like normal water unless cast into a container and even then vanishes after 24hrs. secondly, google implies a standard swimming pool...

    Owod Expanded and rebuilt

    Biggest "change" is the VAs infiltrated both Apple and Google then somehow convinced the $yndicate into helping its plans on equipping the Sleepers with smartphones for the believability needed so their mages could openly carry/operate far more advanced gear without Paradox. Likewise the...
