After a long hiatus our group has begun playing again. We play 3.5E and never explored 4E, let alone 5E. My renewed interest in playing has prompted me to explore 5E and how the game has evolved. I get the majority of the mechanics in this newest version, however I am a bit perplexed about how...

A question for those of you who use the Gestalt Character build. Do you use XP penalties if the character's classes (excluding favored class, of course) are more than a level apart from one another?

I just stumbled across this the other day and thought I would share it with you. An adaptation of Monty Python's The Holy Grail opens on Broadway in March. It's called Spamalot. I realize that this may have been posted on the boards by now, but in the off chance that someone missed it I am...

This is not a grouse, more just a head-scratcher. I would think that Spell Resistance would be an Arcane spell as well. Your thoughts?

As far as i can tell the only time you're denied an AoO is when you're flat-footed, paralyzed/held, unconscious or dead. What about when you're attacked by an invisible attacker? What if someone sneaks up on you? I ask this because one of my players wants to know if he can sneak up on someone...

I'm looking for a little guidance about this plane. I don't own Manual of the Planes, but have access to it. Is there info in there or is it somewhere else? Also, any brief synopsis about this place would be helpful to me this morning. Thanks. F4

This came up the other day in another thread: source of question I asked the Sage and he responded earlier this morning. Thought you might like to see his ruling. Q: I have found nothing in the core rules that states a creature under the effects of a Slow spell cannot takes AoOs. However, it...

I've searched through old posts and it seems no one has a steadfast ruling. That Ask the Sage post still has my head throbbing........ Perhaps I missed the thread that would give me the answer or perhaps there is no steadfast rule. Also, assuming that Dominate Person (Su) CANNOT be dispelled...

Anyone come up with a mechanic for expiditing this process? It's just so damn cumbersome most times. I had thought about a general 5 round buffing "round," but something tells me that it's not a good idea. Any ideas would be most welcome.

Heroes' Feast description, from the SRD (emphasis mine): Does this include ongoing poison? I would guess that it does, but I am not sure.

Just looking for first hand expeience and/or comments on this PrC. Also, I have read somewhere that this PrC was published with errata, is this true? Cheers, F4

When a creature Pounces (Ex) does it merely need to hit with ANY of its attacks to Rake (Ex)? If so, doesn't it seem useless to have Improved Grab (Ex) which only allows a Rake if the bite attack hits? Also, under Rake it says that a creature can rake attack a held opponent. Does that mean only...

Reading the DMG I came across the sidebar about summoned creatures, specifically the finer points of personalizing them. Toward the end of the sidebar it talked about how to give your creatures arms or magical items, making explicit distinctions between summoned vs. called (planar ally spells)...

Okay, it's been some time since I've visited the boards on a regular basis, so don'y crucify me, but I am genuinely curious to see how the amended 3.5 version of Harm is working in other people's campaigns. Well.......? :cool:

Anyone have a link? Cheers, F4

his prankster gnome friend decides to give him a hotfoot with a tindertwig. What skills would you use to determine success/failure of this action?

It's more for plot than actual game mechanics, but I was just curious. Also, what if the familiar's master is raised/resurrected at a later time?

Players reach the entrance to a natural cavern hundreds of feet above a glacier. Beginning at the entranceway and continuing some 300' into the cavern is a Forbiddance spell . The rogue attempts to enter the cavern and fails his one time saving throw. He sustains damage and is denied entry. The...

from the SRD: Spider Climb Transmutation Level: Sor/Wiz 1 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 action Range: Touch Target: Creature touched Duration: 10 minutes/level Saving Throw: Will negates (harmless) Spell Resistance: Yes (harmless) The subject can climb and travel on vertical surfaces or...

Tomorrow we're going to implement a dilluted version of Haste. Instead of bumping it to a higher level or adopting the alleged 3.5 fix (move actions only with the extra partial action) we are merely going to drop the duration from 1 round/level to 2 rounds + 1 round/3 levels. I am curious if...
