Need help with a game decision. A player in my D&D 3.5 game wants to buy a ring that gives a plus to hit with ranged attack spells; is that ok by the core set of rules? I know that he could buy an item that increases his dexterity, but he wants a +4 bonus exclusively to his ranged attack spells...

Have a couple of questions that I hope one of the mods can help me with. 1. How can I change my screen name? 2. How do I go about running a play by post campaign here on the boards? Where is the most appropriate forum to request for players, saw a couple of items on the player request forums...

The scenario is this, a paladin has been wrongfully convicted of a crime and the punishment is brutual but not life threatening. The Kingdom isn't evil most likely this case could be a case of misidentification or a frame-up by someone within the justice system. Still, the paladin will serve...

Hi all, A simple question, could a monk, with a low strength, gain the bonuses that is normally granted with weapon finesse for their unarmed attacks? It's not listed in the PhB when I was reading the feat, but what could be more of a "light weapon" than no weapon at all. Thanks in advance to...

Hi all, Hope some of you can help me determine if I made an error in my ruling. A player (position P) was caught in a right angle between two enemies (Position X). He tried to use his five foot step to move between the two enemies (position 1). As the DM i ruled that because he attempted to...

A few weeks ago I just ended my campaign, and now I am slowly working on ideas for a new one which I hope to start sometime in July. I know the mood I want to conjure, as well as most of the people and the politics in the region, but I'd like to get some ideas from the masters here at ENW. This...

Here's a homebrew rule I've started using for when spellcasters attempt to break, negate or dispel a permanent magical spell effect. Please let me know what you all think and if it's too hard or pointless. -------------------------------------------- Magic vs Permanent Magic When magic is...

Hi all, Had a small rule problem during today's game, and I could not determine what the best resolution was. Hope the experts here at ENWorld can help. A 12th level Psion dimension doored under water to manifest a disintegration effect agaisnt the bow of a boat. Can he do this? Does water...

Hi all, Are there specific mechanics to switch a psionic discipline? One of my players wants to switch their disicpline, and is leaving it up to me in regards to the penalty to impose if he does this. Any suggestions as to what could be an appropriate price to pay? Thanks everyone!

Do competence bonuses from magical items stack? Armor with the shadow special ability plus an cloak of elvenkind both grant +5 competence bonuses to their hide skill. Do these "unnamed" competence bonuses stack? Thanks everyone for your help.

Heeeey there, I use wandering monsters in my game, but while creatures are easy I need low to mid level npcs that are fully stated (or close to it) which I can copy and paste into my WM tables. But, I've pretty much scanned and copied everything from the storyhours on ENW. Are there any good or...

ok, here is the scenario that I face, and tell me what an impartial DM should do. At the end of the last game, while the adventurers are travelling to their destination, they passed by a sandy desert in the equivalent of a forest. It grabbed their attention, and as they passed by, the wizard...

Hi everyone, I'm trying to come up with a historical example of barbarians living on the sea to use as the basis for a new culture in my campaign. The only thing that jumps to mind are vikings, but, they are more beserkers than actual barbarians. The vikings had their eddas and sagas, so they...

Someone, please help me with this. A 7th level soul-knife has the Psychic strike ability (+2d8 dmg) as a move action. As long as they haven't expended their focus; they can also use psionic weapon and inflict (+2d6) damage. Does this seem a little overpowered to anyone else?

Hi All, For psionic creatures such as Caller-in-Darkness, Gray Glutton and Intellect Devourer (among others) how set in stone are their powers. For example, when facing 2 or 3 or 4 gray gluttons, is it reasonable to assume all of the gluttons have all of the exact same powers? Can there be, or...

Hi everyone, I am slowly converting my psionic creatures to 3.5 rules, but I am having trouble deciding if they should be of an unlimited powers (most creatures found in the xph) or if they should be assigned a set amount of PP, like the mind flayer. For example, I have a powerful (12 HD)...

Hi everyone, I am creating a powerful monster and I was hoping that some of posters could help me determine some of it's attributes. I am unsure of what HD, CR and type this thing should be. I pretty sure that I won't be assigning skills or feats. Everything marked with an asterisk (*) are the...
