Ok, I'm probably going to whup my players this week. I just want to make sure I whup them legally. They are a group of 5 10-11th with a paladin, a cleric, a rogue and a psion/wizard/cleric and a bard/fighter. I'm sending them up against a BBEG 11th level wizard. He's got himself a lesser rod...

Alright, if you are sneak attacking with a volley against multiple opponents who are all denyed DEX, do you get the sneak attack damage against ALL of them or only the first in the round? If you were to stab them all with a knife, you would definately get sneak attack damage on every hit, but...

How would you guys price a one time only (ala potion) version of a lesser rod of empower, or maximizing, or quickening? Something that was applicable to any spell of a certain level, but not restricted to a SPECIFIC spell, like a metamagiked scroll would be.

Ok, just wondering... using the prepare function of this spell, do you lose a fourth level spell slot from day one to gain 3 spell levels in day two? How exactly does that work and why wouldn't someone use up all their 4th level spell slots the day before a big adventure, and then heap on the...

This might be the stupidest question asked, but I'm away from my books and I only have access to the SRD. Where is XP per CR and XP/level located? I can figure out the XP/level thing pretty well, but the xp/cr thing is stumping me. Any clue where I can find this online? Thanks

Alright, I don't know if this should go here or elsewhere... I'm going to be running my very first dragon encounter since I started playing almost 20 years ago. They are a bit different than other encounters and I could use some help. The dragon in question is a CR 14 Adult Black, and the...

All right, I've got a quick question here about the spell animate dead. Yup, plain old boring 3rd level animate dead. If my 5th level Cleric of super-evil-bad has both desecrate and animate dead, and happens to come across a recently deceased Cloud Giant, he can animate it as a skeleton (19hd)...

Ok, about how far can a person see in moderate forests/plains etc? I've got an archer/sorcerer NPC who's taken the Far Shot feat and is using a composite longbow. He casts true strike (+20 to hit) and lets fly. Now, the true strike counters the -20 he'd take from 10 range increments, allowing...

Simple question, probably been asked before. Can a druid who has improved trip, while wildshaped into a wolf, attack...use the wolfs ability to trip after an attack... and then use improved trip to attack again after the trip?

Alright, quick one. If adding invisibility to a wonderous item would cost 12000gp (3 caster level* 2 spell level*2000gp continuous item) How much would you charge for an additional ability added to an item that made THAT item and ONLY that item invisible?

When a druid wildshapes, does his type change? Specifically, is he potentially subject to an animal growth spell?

Ok, probably been argued to death... if so, just post a link to the thread. If not.... From the SRD on Haste: "When making a full attack action, a hasted creature may make one extra attack with any weapon he is holding" So, does the guy get one extra attack, or one extra attack per weapon...

Specifically certain prestige classes that allow combine spellcasting classes. I'm playing in a campaign that considers anything put out by WOTC to be "Core". The prestige class that's really gotten my goat is Cerebromancer from the expanded psionics handbook, but there's an equivilant "mystic...

Ok, using Trip, Disarm or Sunder without the relevant "Improved..." feat provokes AoO from the target. But what if you are using a reach weapon? If your opponent doesn't have a reach weapon, it would seem impossible for him to strike at you. Striking the weapon would seem possible though, so...

If your action is intereupted somehow before it is completed, can you change your action? For example, if a paladin was charging a monk with a spiked chain, and the monk used his AoO (from the paladin leaving his threatened space at 10') to disarm the paladin of his trusty greatsword, the...

Ok...I was insomniac... So I went through and found every "humanoid" you can Alter self into from every book I could get my hands on. Including EVERYTHING that you'd gain as a bonus. If anyone has any additions to this, let me know so I can update my list.

Any one know where a guy can find a good excel or word version of spells out there? I'm tired of having to tote around all my books and leaf through every one every time I want to "reference" (read: explain/debate) a spell use to my DM. I thought a "spellbook" of spells my character knows would...

Ok, a thought experiment. Consider a 12th level monk with a strength of 18 and ring of feather falling. During combat, he picks up a huge rock (300lb) and lifts it over his head. He then dissappears, leaving no trace. Unbenownst to all, he has used his abundent step feature to dimension door...

I can't seem to find anything on this in the core rules. On one hand, I can't see why you wouldn't be able to get off a spell while you were lying down, but on the other, you do experience a lack of mobility that I could see impeding your ablity. (on spells with somatic components, obviously...

Ok, I'm wondering if anyone has got any good ideas about PC Classes (or Monsters) achilles heels? For example, we all know that the average wizard's fort and ref saves are comparable to the average 11 year old child, (yes, it's an exageration). And if you use disarm to take away a cleric's holy...
