This question is about Pathfinder but probably applies equally to D&D 3.5. My party is planning to call a devil in the future, and we want to be as prepared as possible. What I was wondering though, just in case the devil breaks the initial magic circle, could we place a second magic circle...

Me and one of my player's have had an argument about how to read the following sentence and was wondering what the average opinion was out in the world. "At each new alchemist level, he gains one new formula of any level that he can create." And the analogous entry for the wizard: "At each...

I have a very specific example for this but was wondering for the general rule as well. The game I am currently playing is Pathfinder, but think this applies to all versions of D&D as well. Consider the following example: a 5-ft-square pit trap drops a creature into a deep shaft. The bottom of...

I got the following two items, in two different campaigns and have trouble figuring out the items price A potion that grants DR 3/- Extrapolating from Heavy adamantine armour I would guess something like 150 gp, but that seems cheap. I could not find any spell that grants DR/-, and I am not...

A raven has ¼ HD, and the fiendish template lists a minimum of 1 HD for cold and fire resistance and SR=5+HD, so does the fiendish raven have SR 5 or SR 6, and does it have any cold and fire resistance? My own thought would be to give it SR 5 but still give it the resistances since the minimum...

Anyone know why wasps (FF, p172) have +1 natural armor while hellwasps (MM, p238) don't? I'd think hellwasps were tougher.

Quick question but I can't find the answer anywhere in the book. Let's assume an ecounter with three undead. Undead 1 is 2HD and standing at 10 feet distance. Undead 2 is 5HD and standing at 10 feet distance. Undead 3 is 2HD and standing at 20 feet distance. The party cleric is level 1 with...

There are two parts in this question. Firstly I'm wondering if anyone could calculate the price of a particular item. And secondly if they could do this in such a way I can learn from it so I can do it myself. The item is a staff that allows the casting of Entangle 1/day and increases the DC of...

This is a class I designed to replace the Paladin in my game, which is a low-magic campaign therefor the normal cleric is not available for PC's and the Paladin had to be stripped of his spells. It is called Cleric because well that's what divine warriors are called in my game while the divine...

What would happen if a Lich stored its phylactery in a bag of holding, portable hole or similar unique portal to extradimensional space and then destroy that portal? If the Lich's body was destroyed it would reform in the extra-dimensional space from which the Lich could escape with a Plane...

What kind of action and whih what modifiers and consequences would it be when you use an axe or halberd to pull away your opponent's shield, just like axefighters used to do in the middle ages with a spearfighter (probably with a longspear) behind them to strike when the shield was gone? Sunder...

Me and my friends haven't made much use of grenade-like and splash weapons so I am wondering if anyone here could answer some questionss for me. First, are grenade-like and splash weapons different or are they the same kind of weapons? If different, what differences do they have, the PHB (p158)...

This is essentially two-part. 1. What happens if template powers overlap with each other or with a creatures innate power. Does the CR still increase normally? 2. What happens if multiple creatures are together, if I extend the DMG rules it says a creature of CR 24 accompanied by 6 CR 20...

I am considering using the following rules to create a realistic chain of events in character creation. And also to create some possible odd combinations that would not be existent in a min/max situation. Instead of rolling 6 ability scores and then assigning them and choosing all character...

Graz’zt’s Long Grasp I am wondering about a few things when using Graz'zt's Long Grasp (BoVD 96). This is a variant of Spectral Hand (PHB 282), where you actually lose your hand and double the hitpoints, and the hand becomes a creature (flanking, grappling and punching) as well as part of...
