Hi all, Sorry I've been gone a bit, things have been interesting. Starting to think about next CDM (I see Iron DM going on, but probably be a few weeks before CDM gets going). Admin and evil judge types, want to join me in my office to discuss such things? If you are a CDM admin or evil judge...

How has Ceramic DM been getting on for the last xxx years? Anyone up for a round? Has the structure changed at all? Helle

While I have never particularly liked their half-sized state, the Cowboys have been my team since 1979. The same year I stopped liking football because I was supposed to, and started liking it because I just do. The same year I stopped rooting for the Chargers because my father happened to live...

So, using a spell-like ability takes a standard action. But what exactly is 'using' the ability, regarding long spells. For example, my friend is making a character who can control weather as a spell-like ability. Now, the spell normally takes 10 minutes to cast and then another 10 minutes to...

I am a crew member on the viking ship Thor, built by Captain Robert McDonald and thousands of children out of 15 million ice creams sticks. We will be attempting to cross the Atlantic Ocean in the Thor, a feat which has not been accomplished in a viking ship since the vikings did so. An attempt...

Can I mention/ask for sponsors here? On this forum, presumably, if allowed at all? For a rather, unusual undertaking. Moderators, please feel free to contact me for specifics if you need. Aaron

So, they have specialized wizards, which adds certain benefits for one school of magic but prohibits two others. One of my players was asking about making a conjurer, but even more specialized. He was asking about adding the summoning abilities from other classes as well, to one character. He...

OK, its that time again. Rising like a ghost, I will try to hound writers and judges into spending time they dont have. How's the scene been since last I was here. Any interest in a renewal? My wife is on the last few chapters of her masters thesis, to be defended in 2 weeks, her graduation...

I'm going to allow one of my players to have a dragon cohort, and he was asking me about dragons wearing armor. My initial reaction was no, but I can't find any rules on the subject and I've been considering it. Does anyone know any specific rules regarding dragons wearing armor? Anyone...

Does spell resistance stack? Such as from monks natural spell resistance and from armor with spell resistance? Aaron

I know I saw a thread about this but can't find it. Does monk damage stack with natural attacks? For example, can a dragon disciple/monk add their unarmed monk damage to their claw damage? Aaron

OK, I know a character has to willingly lower their magic resistance for other spells to affect them without needing to beat it. Do they have to do that on their turn? And it lasts 1 round right? And, do they have to lower their magic resistance for their own spells? For example, does a cleric...

OK, under assassins in the DMG, it states that they cast spells like bards. Bards cast arcane spells, spontaneously. Great. What about the bard ability to ignore ASFC in light armor? That is listed on bards under armor/weapons, and is not listed under assassin there. So, do assassins suffer...

Monks get abundant step (dmiension door ability) and the ability to go ethereal. Both of these state 'as if...' refering to the specific spells. Both spells allow for bringing other characters or gear along. Is this allowed for the monk? Or can the monk only bring himself and his normal gear...

So, one of my players - the cleric - was asking if he could get his holy symbol tattooed on his skin or implanted in his body somehow, so that he wouldn't be denied it if he was captured and his gear taken from him or some such. For turning I know the symbol has to be boldly displayed, but for...

I've been practicing some of the 3.x combat options with my players. With bull rush - do you need a running start at all? Can you bull rush an oppoent through a square with a friend (since you can move through squares with friends)? Through a square with an enemy? What happens if there is a wall...

A feint works for your next melee attack. Does that include a full round attack, or jsut the first attack of the full round attack? Aaron

So a cleric in my game is using a 2-handed axe. For somantic spells, he insists he just holds it one-handed while he casts the spell, then puts his other hand back on it. Which, logically, seems ok to me. I was just wondering if this had ever come up as an issue or was a normal thing? Aaron

One of my players is running the cleric, and was asking about spontaneous casting - it states anything with 'cure' in the name can be spontaneously cast by a good cleric/good-diety-worshipping cleric. And there is a cure spell of each level until 9th. Does that mean at 9th-spell level clerics...

I know this has been covered here, I just can't find it right now. One of my players, who is a cleric worshipping Pelor, is having relatively evil thoughts (mainly over killing a companion NPC so that he can use the spiffy armor that NPC got last session). I told him he can do what he wants...
