This came up in my last game session. The GM wanted to have a charge readied for when the PC's opened the door. Now, as the GM he can clearly do whatever he wishes, however this isn't about that so much as a question, can a charge be readied? (Let's ignore for the moment that you shouldn't...

As GM I made a custom spell for one of my players. He was a straight wizard, but put points in stealth, and wanted something early on to help with hiding. Looking at the invisibility spell as a base, I created the first level spell "Fade". Gives a +5 'invisibility' bonus to hide, and grants...

First of all it's pretty clear that natural attacks and unarmed strikes (including improved unarmed strikes) are not the same in the rules, and there are several mechanical differences. Although for simplicity people have been known to treat them the same or similiarly. In this case, however...

Improved Grapple has the prereq's of Dex 13+ and Improved Unarmed Attack (IUA) What about characters/races that already have a natural attack? They already have all the benifits that they could potentially get from IUA... well everything I can see other than potentially being able to take Imp...

I've got a player in my campaign that I'm going to allow to play a psion. This will be the first psion in this particular group since 3.0, where they decided that psionics was overpowered. I'm of the opinion that the 3.5 psionics is pretty well balanced, however I know that the guy who's...

General question for the Eberron setting. I know this has *had* to have come up for some people before. If you kill a warforged and rip off it's mithral or adamantine, how much would it sell for? It doesn't really look like the game designers meant it to be sold for anything, but realistically...

I've seen a thread somewhere about this before... One of the groups I'm in is debating about the character level entry in the creation of wonderous items. Skip's article specifically states (as I read it) that you need to meet the CL listed to make the item. The DMG does not so state... and in...

I made an Eberron warforged character with a level of Sorc. He's going to be taking the Dragon Disciple PrC, which is almost the only reason to have the class (It also give him the spell "repair light damage" on his spell list for better wand use). That being said, he gets four cantrips known...

OK, I've heard rumor that WoTC said something hinting that the Amulet of Mighty Fists is priced as an item that uses a body slot that doesn't meet the affinity. Is there any truth to this rumor? Have they actually stated that somewhere official or semi-official, or is it just something someone...

A player in a game I'm running came up with an intriguing idea. He's playing a halfling caster. Now say he casts reduce on himself. Among other things this should grant a +4 to hide, and he should be tiny. Now say he casts Disguise Self on his reduced person, granting the appearance of being...

As I understand, Snatch is like Grab for creatures with a bite. Improved Snatch is like Improved Grab, in that it allows the creature to take a -20 on the grapple attack and not be considered grappled except for the body part used for the improved grab/snatch. So if a spellcaster were...

If you're invisible and you cast Meteor Swarm (see below for SRD quote of the spell), when do you become visible? Why I'm asking. I'm playing an Arcane Trickster with a custom fifth level spell similar to meteor swarm in many aspects (much less damage overall and less radius on the blast). In...

A fellow player in a campaign I'm in is discussing various possible cohorts for his PC. One would be a nymph druid (The character in question is half-nymph, for story reasons, so nymphs would be quite reasonable). His question about this is: "I was wondering whether nymph druid spellcaster...

False life is a pretty good spell... And I've never used it before, as I generally specialize and I've always gotten rid of necomancy before. Now, looking closely at the spell, I don't see what's to stop a caster from casting this multiple times, and getting multiple benifits from the spell...

OK. So I hear there are nifty feats like: Empower Spell Like Ability Quicken Spell Like Ability Maximize Spell Like Ability Am I to understand that a warlock can quicken, empower, and maximize his Eldritch Blasts? So that he can cast two Maximized and Empowered bolts (as one would be...

*** Note, I've edited it several times by now. Please continue to comment! I'm greatly enjoying the alternate opinions I've been meaning to write it up and put it on here for a while, to give people a chance to tear it down... er, offer constructive critisism. I haven't playtested it at all...

Has anyone here played that system or know anything about it? It seems interesting, but I haven't found a good support community/forum to answer my questions.
