If two PCs ready actions that trigger at the same time, how do you determine which action goes first?

Many consider multiclassing (particularly paragon multiclassing) to be a rather weak choice. I'm considering suggesting the following house rules for multiclassing & paragon multiclassing. I'm curious if anyone has tried anything similar. Any comments about balance in general are also...

Do you, as DMs, allow used wands to be purchased in your games? They're found as treasure often enough, but how do you handle the used wand market?

We were fighting a large skeleton last night and at one point one of the players had got his rope & grappling hook to effect an escape. His turn came up again and, rather than setting the line for climbing, he decided he wanted to throw it at the skeleton and try to pull him down. Our...

I've an item in mind that I'd like opinions on when it comes to market value. 1) +1 longspear 2) tip can shed light as the spell on command 3) tip can fire magically conjured sunrods 3/day which last 1 round per caster level of the user 4) if someone has the apropriate feat, the spear can...

According to the staff creation rules, "The caster level of all spells in a staff must be the same, and no staff can have a caster level of less than 8th, even if all the spells in the staff are low-level spells." My DM has already agreed to allow custom staffs in the game. I'm asking my DM if...

I'm running a fey-based warlock who just hit third level. I've been agonizing over what to pick for his feat and thought the hive-mind might be of some aid. We use a house rule which allows the selection of a feat which one does not qualify for, it lying dormant until such time as you meet the...

If a warlock is hiding in an area of shadowy illumination and uses a spell-like ability (which require only somatic components) which has no visible origin (unlike the beam of an eldritch blast), what effect does that have on the status of the warlock as hidden? Is his location automatically...

If my warlock readies an action to destroy the first weapon used to attack an ally within 30', and the weapon is indeed destroyed, does the target get to choose another action instead of the attack, or is the standard action wasted, as the attack was made, but rendered ineffectual? This is all...

Would you consider a hand that is free enough to carry items free enough to allow you to spiderclimb? I'm guessing no, but thought I'd get a 2nd opinion.

I've a high CHA warlock and am considrering picking up Beguiling Influence, which would have me at +19 to bluff by 4th level. Aside from the feint action, what are some of the more memorable uses for Bluff that you've seen in play? I'm as interested in creative as I am in effective.

While walking walls or the ceiling using the spell (and not the slippers which don't req hands to be free) are you considered prone, with the combat modifiers that that entails? If not, is it possible become prone?

I'm playing a high-charisma warlock and have been giving consideration on how best to take advantage of the 12th level ability, imbue item- it allows the warlock to substitute a UMD check for a spell prerequisite when crafting items. Since 'locks can be feat-hungry and down time may be scarce...

Fell Flight is based upon your base land speed. Expeditious Retreat increases your base land speed by 30'. As long as you activated Fell Flight after you cast Expeditious Retreat, would you fly faster? Expeditious Retreat specifically says it doesn't increase fly speeds, but it's not- Fell...

Are there rules for how fast you can pull an object that's got a line on it. Say you shoot a magic strand at a disarmed wand and want to reel it in before the enemy can retrieve it, that sort of thing. Of course, if the object has any real mass, it's going to slow things down, but for things...

Having just levelled my warlock to 2nd, I'm thinking about creative uses for detect magic. The fact that it can penetrate stone and wood and even some metal can make it useful for scouting. I was looking at the rules for lingering auras and was considering how it might be used to track...

Are there any rules for making a wand out of somthing more useful than a stick? Staffs can be made into quarterstaffs or cudgels- would there be anything unbalancing about allowing a wand to be made out of a nonmagical masterwork weapon? Are there any variant rules published regarding it?

Your spiderwalking warlock is perched on the side of a building (b) facing an alley (a) and wants to hit someone below with his eldritch blast (c). His blast has a range of 60ft. How far down the alley can he reach? Depends on how far up the building he is (assuming it's vertical). a^2 + b^2...

I just picked up spiderwalk for my warlock and can't wait to pick up my first wand of web. Got me thinking, though, that it could sure be fun to play a Spider-Man type of warlock. Dark One's Luck for reflex saves, spiderwalk and... I'd like suggestions for a web-shooting warlock invocation...

I'm playing in a Ptolus campaign- city-based in a metropolis huge enough that we'll likely never leave it during the entire campaign. Given that environment, I'm wondering if Gather Information could be used to find a criminal or evil-doer who just happens to be equipped with gear you want...
