Trying to make up a calendar for a home-brew setting, and in looking at other fantasy calendars this thought occurred to me. Starday is found in several fantasy calendars, but none describe exactly why or how it came to be called that.

Couple questions for the hive mind about Resilient Sphere. If you cast it under water, can you breathe normally, or is it filled with water? The spell description says you can breathe normally but I see room for interpretation. What if you fell into a lake of lava and casted it?

Are there any spells that give you or help you learn a creature's name?

I've been looking around for someone to make a character portrait. I found www.avatarart.com but it appears defunct, no updates since 2010 and the contact page is broken. Does anyone know where to go for professional character portraits these days? Scott

Today, July 27, is Gary Gygax's birthday! All of us owe a lot to him and the profound impact his life had on our lives. He's gone now, but we can still pay tribute to the first DM. So Happy birthday Gary! The world was made a better place by you being in it. Scott

Hi everyone, I know many gamers are also sword collectors and enthusiasts. I found this Kickstarter for a pretty cool looking documentary about swords you should check out and see if you'd like to support it. It's got a lot of celebrities from the sword making and movie industries. It's...

So I had a situation in my game where an ooze (a black pudding) was split a few times, but has an opportunity to re-form back into one "piece". So my question to the hive mind is this: how would you rule an ooze becoming one again after being split up in combat? No wrong answers, but I've...

Anyone know of a map of Keeper's Dale? (the valley outside Mithral Hall where Banak made his stand against Urlgen Three Fist)

Anyone have any advice for running an adventure in 3.5 for the PC's to revive a dead Lolth who was slain by a previous adventuring group? My campaign has self-baked a legitimate reason for a party of mostly neutral/goodish characters to want Lolth alive again. I'd be interested in any ideas you...

The spell description says it affects objects, and allows a will save instead of Fort. So could a wizard use it offensively against undead? I imagine a wizard using the Heighten Spell feat to make it a tough Will save or the undead gets made into a handy patch for his robes for a few days or...

One of my players is a bard. He cast a Charisma buff on himself and declared that he could now cast more spells because he gets more bonus spell slots for his new, temporary higher charisma. Now the Sorcerer in the party wants to take a Charisma buff to keep giving himself and the bard...

Does turn resistance have any effect on Rebuke attepts from evil clerics? Is there something that does?

Speaking of paladin or half-fiend smite abilities. Assuming the weapon used and the creature it's being used on would nornally allow DR, would the smite damage be affected by the DR like the weapon damage is?

So, if a druid wild shapes into a bear and gets a magic tattoo while in the form of a bear... 1. What happens to the tattoo when she reverts to her natural form? Is the tattoo still there? Does it function? 2. What happens when she wild shapes into a bear again? Is the tattoo...

Ok, so by RAW, a medium size dragon hide breastplate costs 900gp. Sounds pretty cheap. I think I'll go buy some at "Ye 'Ole Armour Shoppe". But "hold on" says you, "dragon hide armor doesn't grow on trees, it grows on dragons. You can't just go to the shop and buy some." So your PC's...

Ok, so in my campaign 2 characters drew this card, both druids. We already have a large group, so I want to do something different with this so as to keep the stress of playing multiple characters down for both me and the players. I personally like to let the players play their own...

Does anyone know of an item (magic or otherwise) that act like a gas mask, preventing one from ingesting gasseous poisons and such?

Anyone heard of a magic item that boosts your caster level like the Practiced Spellcaster feat from Complete Divine?

Ok... so I'm a player in this 3.5 campaign. My party consists of a large guy with an axe, a smart guy with a ton of explosions, a sneaky guy with really, really sharp pointy things, a couple guys with heavy looking swords, and... little old me. I never do much damage, I'm just a small...

So I've got this NPC I made over a year ago, a Wizard 10, who has a couple magic tattoo's that grant buffs. (this is 3.5 BTW) The problem is, now I can't remember for the life of me how I got those tattoo's! I know I didn't just make them up, it was a game with newbs so I was sticking to the...
