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...

"... 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?

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...

Has any player used the various Symbol spells? Considering the cost (1,000 gp minimum) of this one shot spell and the limited effect (10 HD max for Sleep, 1d6 rounds for Stunning) it just doesn't seem a very viable spell.

Would you allow the use of synergetic (is that a word?) materials to reduce the costs of crafting magic items? For instance, you slay the huge black dragon. The fighter crafts some masterwork full plate (or hide, that's for another post I guess...). The caster enchants it to +1 and wants to add...

After the "Rich 9th Level Wizards" thread... I wonder what amount of games actually abide by the material component requirements for spells; or does the DM just.."I don't wanna deal with the book keeping headaches, just cast your spells..." Specifically because some spells have exceedingly...

This will probably make all the DM's scream, but... Intelligence being the primary ability, a wizard probably has at least a +2 modifier. So, just putting 4 - 6 skill points in Craft; Armorsmithing and the Fabricate spell would provide you with 250 (Banded mail) to 1500 (Full Plate) each day...

In the book Libris Mortis the Necropolitan allows a character to gain the "augmented humanoid" as an undead creature. The character must die, be raised (as per Raise Dead thus lose a level) and sacrifice 1000xp. Henceforth, no longer subject to critical hits, sneak attacks, fort saves (unless...

If a wand has a spell with a range of personal does it only affect the wielder? Can a wand of Shield be used by a thief to place the effect on a fighter?

What do most people do with followers acquired from the Leadership feat? Being the anal-retentive person that I am, I like to know what, where and how they are doing. I thought I would set them up in a pretty good sized village as a "community within a community". They are all npc class'...

Would the widen spell feat work for charm monster (mass) or Command (greater)? The spell effect is based on an area (.....no two of which can be more than 30 ft apart)... Where widen spell feat ........."any numeric measurement of the spell's area increases by 100%"

I was curious about the ability to "shape" the various wall spells (Fire, ice, stone, etc...). Can you apply a 45 degree angle when shaping one of these effects or is it just a straight line? The Wall of Ice is the only one listed as being able to shape into a hemisphere... My thought was, a...

What is the result when an attack from hiding occurs (melee)? Does the attacker then lose all hide benefits? Does the person attacked have to make a spot to find the attacker? Does the hider get modifiers to his established hide?

Should all undead types be templates for additions to other creatures? I know vamps & lich's are already in this list, but.... what about using the cleric spell of create undead on a dead ogre to animate him as a ghoul? What are his new stats? Attacks & abilities?
