I am looking for a good source for running a kingdom or city. PCs need to evaluate; the loyalty of nobles, resources available, treaties and trade agreements, where taxes come from and go, how many troops to keep, and how to replace those that have fallen in battle. I am looking for something...

In 2nd edition, there was a magic item called the anything item. It could transform into any item 3 times, it also was very expensive considering the payoff. My idea for 3.5 is to have a magic item that can transform and take on any enchantment within a predetermined limit. The trade off...

One of our characters recently became a weretiger. His normal class is scout. I see no reason his speed bonus should not apply to his other forms. 1) Can he use skirmish when he pounces? 2) Are there any sources regarding the use of magic items in hybrid or animal form? In the MM...

What abilities are lost when using alternate form or change shape? For example if an astral deva uses change shape to become human what would it lose or not have access to while in that form? If a silver dragon uses alternate form to become human, what would it lose or not have access to...

I don't have the Magic Item Compendium but I was wondering if they changed the price of mithral armor. A friend said he did not think it changed. Adamantium is priced 5,000-10,000 and 15,000. Normal armor weighs 25 lbs for light (chain shirt), 30-40 lbs for medium (breastplate and chainmail)...

I don't mean the craft skill. Magic items have a formula to calculate sale value. If the DM wishes to introduce a poison that has similar damage but a higher DC how would this affect the cost? If one wishes to have a poison be contact instead of injury how would this affect the cost? I don't...

I have a rogue with improved feint. Two party members have uncanny dodge. If one of them was dominated and forced to fight against us, would I be able to feint and gain sneak attack damage with an unarmed strike?

Not long ago I saw a thread along this vein. Now I cannot find it. But recently I was looking to convert an NPC from 2nd edition to 3.5 and the character is said to have killed a frost giant with one arrow. Now frost giants did not have the benefit of their high constitution in 2nd edition...

After reading the enervation thread, I began to wonder. If an undead uses enervation to gain temporary hps, how many can it get? The spell states that undead gain 1d4*5 hps for one hour. Since the spell stacks, how many temporary hps could a vampire for example receive, given enough warning?

I am thinking of pursuing the master thrower prestige class (p.58 Complete Warrior) I was wondering if some of their abilities are usable with sneak attack damage. The two with one blow ability and the weak spot ability are in question, it would seem as if they do. Then again I could see...

I am playing an artificer in a homebrewed campaign. I don't have access to dragonshards and we don't use action points. I only have access to the infusions in Eberron Campaign Setting and Magic of Eberron. I am looking for spells to add to his infusion list; such as rusting grasp or minor...

I am trying to find the upkeep costs for buildings; castles, businesses, and private homes. I expect it to be a % of the total value. So far I have found conflicting sources. In the 1st edition DMG it is listed at 1%/month or 12% annually. That seems high. In The Stronghold Builders...

Why is the death giant considered to be size huge? It is listed as 15' tall and 2000 lbs. Frost giants are large and 15' tall and 2800 lbs. For 3 more feet the death giant could be considered huge as the cloud giant is 18 ft tall. Also a MM III question why were the yugoloths neutered? The...

The persistent spell is quite costly, +6 spell slot. I was wondering why the cost is not variable based on the duration of the spell to be adjusted. Magic items are adjusted according to the spell in question, and if its duration is in rounds,minutes,or hours. I was thinking of a feat that...

In previous editions I have read liturature regarding spell mishaps. The most notable is when summoning spells go wrong and a different creature is summoned. In 3.x edition there does not seem to be very much of this, everything happens as planned. Has anyone added similar elements of...
