If you don't want to allow extrapolation, don't insert what isn't there, either. If costs for all other durations are listed, the absence of one should interpret that it is not available. Making it obscene is to prevent Uber-builds from crafting weapons with True Strike; otherwise everybody is...

The cost is actually even worse... The sub-note on crafting spell effects (DMG 285) has multiples on the cost based on the duration of the spell effect. There being no modifier for instantaneous effects could mean that they cannot be placed as continuous. -or- The multiplier for an effect...

Google is pretty forgiving with spelling... I was thinking improving the would be similar to adding enhancements; ala craft magic arms/ wondrous item. Artificers apply their infusions on 'things' vice people, I was thinking the same route. Limiting the enhancements by 'slots' (neck...

Along the lines of the warforged, i.e Eberron... Use the Iron defender (homonculous). The creator can make whatever shape he wants; spider, snake, etc... Bump up the HD appropriate to the party's CR, or just use more than one. With a couple ranks in engineering, add some mundane effects; spit...

My artificer is coming up on his 'craft homonculous' ability and I was wondering what the general thought was on the cost of crafting an iron defender from adamantine. The reason is to make a develop a bargain rate shield guardian. - The adamantine would provide DR. - Imbue the creature with...

Illusionary magic has got to be the most versatile realm of spells. You can depict near anything/ one/ situation you can think up limited only by your imagination (and AoE). I'm curious about the actual utilization of the spells of the illusion school of magic. Has any player character used the...

In the description of the teleport spell... "Areas of strong physical or magical energy may make teleportation more hazardous or even impossible." I interpret physical energy could be any of the elements; a strong wing, a large flow of lava, a strong current underwater. But they should...

I was more curious about the mundane prospects. There are plenty of magical propensities for obstructing a teleport effect. Nice idea, Silverbane. I hadn't even thought of the wind & wave aspect. A high mountain keep buffeted by winds definitely qualifies as physical energy, as do the waves/...

I found an interestingly vague part in a spell description and sought others opinions on how to interpret it; i.e. a ruling on something within the books. DnD is not Warhammer for some of us... In a round-about way I was trying to say I am looking for original thought on possibilities, not...

I like to have some "in the background" things going with my wiz; base of operation, hechmen/ followers (non-Leadership). So I was thinking of ways to buff my sanctum, making it more difficult for enemies to operate in it. Finding this phrase got me wondering if I could use it to make invaders/...

"... strong physical or magical energy may make teleportation more hazardous or even impossible" (PHB 293). What situations would make this plausible. Wall of Fire, Gate, readying to hit a caster with a fireball? What situational physical energies would do this?

What would you pick for spell like abilities for a spell stitched?

There are a couple of key questions... Does the information on who sent the package help or hinder your game/ plot? You could reasonably use the point that the "package" has had many "possessors", and thus they would randomly scry on any previous owners. Each would be allowed a saving throw...

I think its great. The layout is very like "The Ultimate" character sheet. I've yet to see a "spell sheet" that I liked. I tend to self design since it changes so often. Especially with splat books... Not as a criticism, just I don't think you're ever going to "please all of the people all of...

The text does state "a signature weapon" without any indication of plurality. The term "signature" tends to identify one weapon for which the kensai is renowned for; Arthur & Excaliber, Jedi & their light sabers (they get bonus' for using the weapon they crafted), etc... I would not allow the...

How far can you get on a Phantom Steed? Since it is not a "real" creature and lasts for 1 hour/ caster level, can you effectively hustle or run the creature for the entire duration of the spell? A movement of 160' (8th level caster) could cover 128 miles in 8 hours (PHB pg 162). But, since it is...

To what level do you restrict a paladin's adventuring options because of their "code of conduct"? Our group is currently contemplating infiltrating an orc city to gather information on a Warlord and potentially recover a family heirloom of one of the characters. The paladin is an elven female...

What a completely useless bit of information. Do you generally take classes or options without telling your DM what they are? To find if he's comfortable with your concept or if they feel it fits in their game? To the original question of this post; are you taking options or classes that fit...

The correct quote is "It is easier to beg forgiveness than to ask permission" Twenty years in the military drilled this into my head....

Where'd Belkar go...?
