    Put a Symbol on a shield?

    I'm certain this has been addressed before in these forums. I tried the search function here but it it wouldn't let me use it. Ah well. My players did it this last week. I can see no real reason why not in 3.5. What say you all: Can you put a symbol on a shield? Walk around with it? I got that...

    Any suggestions for Wee Jas weapon relic?

    Our hero, a 13 th level sword sage from book of nine swords, was nice enough to take a True Believer feat for Wee Jas. I want to reward that sort of role playing with a religious relic. The Ruby Blade from Magic Item Compendium makes it an Axiomatic weapon to those lawful and, with True...

    Massive Damage and temporary HP's

    So, Hit Points are hit points, right? The Massive Damage rules say: Have 50+ pts of damage in one hit, make a Fort save or die. But my players contested since the top HP's are temporary, those don't count towards the total for the Massive Damage rule. Some supported, some contested, I said...

    Voidmind hydra

    Our heroes are about to go up against a voidmind (m3, pg 187) hydra (m pg 155) Can you have cut off all the heads but one, void mind that one, and it controls the others? Or, do each of the heads have to be void minded? If you do void mind all the heads, to they each get a spray, do they each...

    Should constructs get xp's?

    The party has a flesh golem around. It participates in fights, helps in opening doors, tricks traps, etc. Should Victor (the golem) have gotten XP's? NPC XP's at least? (Should constructs?) He was around. He participated. Can they get stronger, more powerful that way? The Monster Manual...

    Anybody do "Expedition to the Ruins of Greyhawk"?

    I'm about to start it for my heroes in about 2-3 weeks. If anyone has any suggestions, experiences, feedback, what to do or not do, etc, note me here or email me: Vahktang@hotmail.com For example, the text seems to suggest our heroes go from the 'orcs attacking the caravan' to the Tower of...

    Items trump spells, right?

    So, the item requires dancing lights to make (the watch lamp) Because it is an item, does it make darkness, a 2nd level spell, wholly ineffective? Or, since it is made with a 0 level spell, and darkness is 2nd, does the darkness prevail? Your thoughts, please.

    How much damage from going along a wall of fire?

    Rather than just going through, what if our heroes have to go along the length of a Wall of Fire spell? Would it be damge per 10' section? (ouch) Damage again only if their movement ends before getting out? Other? It's a minimum of 140' long, so, doing cold damage to eliminate a 5' section may...

    How many people in a cohort?

    The leadership feat, DMG pg 106, but I'm more interested in pg 104. Right hand column, 2nd paragraph under Cohort [cut] And pg 106, left hand column, under Benifits: [cut] From dictionary.com: Which seems to me to mean multiples of both. My budy says that you get one cohort per taking...

    Use a feat to make a sword a flurry weapon?

    So, I'm watching the wu shu movies and they're using swords in their martial arts. So, I'm thinking that just like Bastard sword is an exotic weapon for full use, a monk can use an exotic weapon feat to make a special sword useable in a flurry. Give a D8 base damage and go to town. What say you...

    Anybody using Benign Transposition?

    Seems like a great spell for the quick monk and the slow heavily armored fighter. Or for the bad guys, Invisible transpoitor, healer in reserve, pop out wounded fighter, heal her, pop out other wounded fighter, continue until spells are out. Anybody have any good or bad experiences with this...

    Items to create expensive material components

    So, if you make an item for a spell that has an expensive material compenent, one is to multiply the cost times 50 and add it to the item. How about an item that just produces the expensive material? An incense creator for legend lore, once/day, or an ointment dispenser for true seeing...

    Can I have my golem accept boosty spells?

    They have no mind, but my character is the creator of the creature. So, can I order them to accept Haste, Bull's Strength, etc? Those spells do allow Saving Throws and Spell Resistance. But one can voluntarily miss a saving throw and lower their spell resistance. But a construct has no will, so...

    How can my 12th sorcerer get acid for his Acid Rain Spell?

    So, we're in the middle of the world's largest dungeon and my sorcerer is about to go up to 12th and get a 6th level spell. I'd like to get Acid Rain but the material component is a flask of acid. Which is in short supply down here. I'll be able to change a 4th or lower spell, and we have a kind...

    Hallow/Unhallow: after you leave the area

    The spells Hallow/Unhallow allow one to fix a spell to the site. The list is long, but the question is: Once you leave the site, the spell goes down, right. It doesn't last after you leave. If you have tongues, you can only speak and be understood while in the area. Once you leave, it's gone...

    Can I just put my Simulacrum in my Bag of Holding?

    And just leave it there? Kind of a 'cleric in a bag'? It's 'partially real', so, I imagine, it doesn't eat/sleep/excrete. Right? More later, Vahktang

    Anybody have any good guidelines for a Tsunami?

    Our heroes are on the beach with a bunch of tribesmen buddies clamming, when the tide goes _way_ out all of a sudden. Somebody made their knowledge nature roll and know a Tidal Surge is occuring. Our heroes have to make it safe ground, hopefully with a couple of kids under an arm ("I put the kid...

    Kicking out a player: share your stories/advice

    It's gone too far. He doesn't fit in the group. His behaviour is objectionable. He's disruptive to the game. We'd have more fun without him. Others have mentioned leaving and I'd have have him leave than them. We are having a vote and if it is unanimous, he's out. So, how should I do it? Have...
