I'm running a campaign based more on germanic folklore. Kobolds. goblins. dwaves. But these dwarves will be more reclusive forest dwellers than mountain miners. Think snow white. I can't find a variant like this. Does one exist? If there's no hit to charisma even better.

I'm trying to make sure I understand ecl for things with racial hit die AND a level adjustment. To make sure I understand this correctly: An Ogre Mage (for example) starts with 5 hit die of giant and has an LA of +7. Does an ogre mage character start out with ecl 12? Or does an ogre mage...

This ones way darker than my usual. First real evil character. It so happens he has a vendetta against the main villain the party is after, so they've joined forces. I'm running a 12th level human bard/nightmare spinner/dread witch/dirgesinger. He's max ranked in intimidate, bluff, diplomacy...

So, trying to make an evil bard/nighmare spinner/dirge singer/maybe dread witch. I'd like to get into nightmare spinner earlier than bard 7, but one of the reqs is 3rd level spells and bards get access at 7th level. Just feel like that's too much bard investment for the character. Anyone have...

I've got a bard that I'd like to make into a nightmare spinner. One of the prerequisites is the ability to cast a 3rd level spell. As a bard, that's 7th level, and I'm not sure i need that much bard. What can i do to get access to 3rd level spells sooner, or just with slightly less bard investment?

Ok. Somewhere, in the billion 3.0/3.5 resources, there is a feat that lets a rogue sneak attack after drawing their weapon. It operates on the idea that you surprise the enemy that did not know you had a weapon. Problem is, I CANNOT find it anywhere. Does anyone know what this feat is or where...

I was wondering if there's a weapon ability that causes the weapon to scale in size to the wielder (i.e. it would be tiny for a tiny owner, medium for a medium owner, colossal for a colossal owner, etc.)? If not, what kind of modifier would that run? +1? +2?

So, I want to know if there is any rule that specifically says animals (normal animals, in this case an elephant) CANNOT take levels in a PC class. I know why it might be a bad idea, how it could be explained as improbable or impossible flavor wise. But the question is, is there anything...

I'm looking to homebrew a ranged weapon enhancement (provided one doesn't already exist) that immediately replenishes the weapon with standard, mundane ammunition. The player could chose to not activate this power if they desired (to load the weapon with other ammunition). It would, in...

I can't find any canon information on the hardness/hp per inch of thickness on any of the following materials: -Bronze -Silver -Gold -Electrum Electrum makes sense, but bronze armor is specifically mentioned in the DMG. And someone must have wanted to smash a gold object at some point. Does...

I'm considering giving a halfling bard a sling with Magic Stones (as per the spell/potion in the core books). Would the fact of the sling/stones being smaller than those meant for a medium creature affect their damage? For a normal stone, i know they would, but being a magical effect, I'm not...

So, a friend of mine has a rogue, who has taken a STRONG liking to a mimic i created. Now, mimics have low but human intelligence, so they can reason, have a personality, and think, even if their thoughts are a little one-dimensional. "Gold. More gold? This will get me gold." He wants to take...

I have several questions concerning Earth Elementals as familiars. One of my players wants one, and I think it will work out well. 1.) Can they wear magic items? They do not have fingers, so obviously can't wear rings, but clearly have a head/neck/shoulders, and could conceivably wear amulets...

My DMG says all kinds of things about random encounters in a DUNGEON, but very little in the way of how to determine random encounters in a wilderness setting. Deserts, swamps, forests, mountains, hills. The problem i get is not WHAT to encounter, i can make an encounter table pretty well. My...

Several questions about flaming sphere: A.) Does flaming sphere start where you are, then move down to where the target square is, or does it appear in the target square? B.) "As part of this movement, it can ascend or jump up to 30 feet to strike a target." -- SRD If the sphere is widen...

I'm running a campaign for a friend who wants to do the classic "a lone hero sets out to save _____ from _____" concept. And that's all well and good. So far I've managed to find things for her to do, but it raises a whole slew of issues: CR, treasure, and EXP are all tied together and based...

What are some good source books/websites I could go to for a seafaring campaign? I'm under the impression seafarers handbook is aimed for 3.0, would it work? Any others to suggest?

I'm DMing a campaign with an Afflicted Werebear Monk in it. (not natural) So as a novice DM, I've got concerns about: -using monk abilities in FULL bear form -Claws as unarmed strikes/natural weapons -Levels. All kinds of levels. FULL BEAR FORM - informed and understood. Thanks to everyone...
