I think I'm going to complicate things a bit :] I'm going to rule that while the vampire is helpless recuperating in his coffin, the dominated character is no longer under his direct control. Instead, the vampire can use suggestion as a supernatural ability (DC 10 + 1/2 vampire's HD + his Cha...

What happens when a character who has two (or more) different smiting abilities (say, multiclass paladin/cleric with the Destruction domain) takes Extra Smiting feat (from Complete Warrior)? I can see three options here: The character picks one smiting ability and gets extra uses for that...

Say a vampire has been rendered helpless by inflicting enough damage to force him in his gaseous form. So, when he reaches his coffin, he's helpless for an hour until he can start recuperating from his injuries. Can he still take purely mental actions (such as controlling a dominated minion)...

It's gnomes. They're just trying to keep it all under wraps till the Races and Classes book. The negative connotations the race is associated with mentioned earlier are due to the eyebrow-raising change to the mystery race (which is gnome) that one of the designers mentioned in his blog. The...

Well, IME, a typical combat in which my aasimar cleric of Amaunator takes part frequently looks like this: Round 1: I cast bless! Round 2: I cast cure light wounds on the soulknife! Round 3: I cast shield of faith on the soulknife! Round 4: I cast cure light wounds on the crusader! Round...

The rule is burried deep within the WotC site... :P It's covered in part 4 of the retired Rules of the Game: Going Metric article (by Skip Williams) from back in 2004. A backpack can carry one cubic foot or 60 Lbs. of gear. Regards.

Am I just blind, or is it really not explained in the book (ToB)? What happens to a martial adept character who suffers negative levels? Is it like with spellcasters (lose access to one of his highest-level manoeuvres per negative level) or is there some other mechanic? Thanks in advance...

Thanks for the replies, folks! :) Yeah, I don't really like reserve feats, and having seen them in use in another game, I don't really allow them in my games, so that's not a problem. Regards.

Of course. I haven't even considered that as a serious possibility. Thanks!

This, indeed, is the case. The character is choke-full of dump "stats" (Str 8, Dex 9, Con 16, Int 18, Wis 8, Cha 9 before any racial modifiers, which are standard elf modifiers: +2 Dex, -2 Con), but it fits the character's story. Besides, it's point buy, and the player know minimums and...

Actually, the player's dumping Illusion, Enchantment, and Necromancy. The character, as a Focused Transmuter 5 with Int 21 would have (from 0 to 3rd level spells): 3+3/4+3/2+3/1+3 spells per day (with DC 15 + spell level). Duly noted ;) Thanks!

A player in my Eberron game wants to introduce a new character to the party, an elf wizard (transmuter). I'm generally a pretty lenient DM (well, I like to think I am :P), and although I gave the players a list of books that are OK to use in the game, I still allow bits from other books, but on...

Has there been any errata or designer comments on the said feat (from Complete Mage)? The feat basically reduces the spell level increase associated with metamagic feats by one, but only for spells of a certain school of magic. It does this a fixed number of times per day. However, it does not...

What he said. Except it would be psion (presumably) and teurg ;)

Don't have anything official... but here's what I'd do: Goat N Medium Animal Init +2, Senses Listen +5, Spot +5, low-light vision, scent --------------------- AC 13 (+2 Dex, +1 natural), touch 12, flat-footed 11 hp 5 (1d8+1 HD) Fort +3, Refl +4, Will +1 --------------------- Speed 40 ft. Melee...

If it'll help you, "jugo" (also pronounced "yugo", with basically the same meaning -- "jug" means the South in Croatian, Serbian, and probably a bunch of other Slavic languages -- Yugoslavia means "Land of the South Slavs") is a southern, humid wind blowing in the Adriatic. It brings clouds and...

You're right, I suppose. Unless they were trying to discreetly inform us that elves will be of greater then human height in 4e :D Here's the line-up I did with faces scaled to match the human one. Regards.

One thing I noticed, in the human/half-elf/elf line-up pic -- the "grid" on which the faces are drown remains of constant (or nearly so) width, yet the faces grow, i.e. half-elf face is larger than the human one, and the elf is larger than the half-elf. I'm probably reading a bit too much from...

I agree. Besides, to me, those long ears are just plain ugly, and make the rest of the elf, regardless of how good the actual picture is, utterly ridiculous. Besides, they remind me of hairless donkey ears, and that's not something I want my elves running about with. It's like old-edition FR...
