Good day to all, I'm working on some variant caster rules for my campaign that use the spellcraft and concentration skills. (These will eventually be posted in the House Rules forum) Here's my question: Has someone cataloged existing magic items that provide bonuses to these skills? Obviously...

Good day to all! I'm trying to stat out a new NPC for my campaign. His purpose is to be somewhat competitive with the PCs - not a minion or an ally, but worthy of respect. The NPC has an odd background ... a human (born on the Material Plane) but reared in Mephistopheles' realm. He has a...

The PH2 immediate magic alternate class feature for (specialist) wizards cites the character's "Wizard Level" being used in DC calculations as well as some comparisons. Since it doesn't say "Wizard Caster Level", it pretty much gimps most of the abilities if an early prestige class is chosen...

From the SRD: The damage a bearded devil deals with its glaive causes a persistent wound. An injured creature loses 2 additional hit points each round. My Questions: How do other DMs rule this? Two points come to mind ... 1) It sounds like an injured creature might lose only 2hp per round no...

Hi all, Apologies in advance for (temporarily) preempting the Bo9S discussion with a few Abyssal inquiries .... It is my understanding that: 1. Outsiders (and I'm thinking of the Demons of the Abyss) have the extraplanar subtype when visiting the Material type, but lose the subtype when...

Hails to all, This is my understanding of RAW in 3.5. I respectfully request correction and advice. 1. Specialist wizards, when gaining a level of wizard (and learning two* new spells) are not required to pick spells of their chosen school. Of course, it makes sense to pick at least one when...

Hiyas all, This is my interpretation, please correct my errors: Martial Study (p31) A non-martial adept takes this feat. The character must qualify for the prerequisites of the selected maneuver. The character lacks any martial adept levels, so Initiator Level = 1/2 Character Level...

Hiyas all, I have a player who is interested in starting a human illusionist in an existing FR campaign. She'll be starting at level 1 - the rest of the party isn't that far ahead. We're currently in Waterdeep and will be journeying toward Silverymoon and Citadel Adbar pretty soon. The...

from SRD: (D) Dismissible You must ... speak words of dismissal ... If the spell has no verbal component, you can dismiss the effect with a gesture. Silence ... Components: V, S the situation: The party cleric or bard casts Silence; targeting an enemy caster. The enemy either fails the saving...

These questions are based on a recent shadow encounter. Since a creature can't move through an opponent's square and can't end movement in an occupied square (I have yet to find an exception for incorporeals) it seems a party could align itself in a 5' corridor where only the characters at the...

This spell seems to have some ambiguous points. I wonder how other folks handle it? As written, this "5-ft.-diameter sphere" only has a chance of damaging when "If it enters a space with a creature" Nothing I can see makes a sphere allow partial cover (+4 AC) or prohibit movement though the...
