Anyone ever run/played in a campaign set in the great illithid empire of legend (either the distant past or far future)? I'm toying with the idea (& of combining it with an all VoP party), & would like to hear what others have done.

Which psionic discipline would be the best for: A. Having the most useful powers that can't/don't need to be augmented; & B. Having the most useful powers that a cleric could use. ? In relation to why, there's a semi-official FR PrC for psionic clerics that adds a discipline's powers to the...

Can a martial adept ready the same maneuver more than once at the same time? I've scoured the Blade Magic chapter but can't find anything that definitively states it either way. (Unfortunately, I'm so used to certain spell-chuckers being able to memorize a spell multiple times that it occured...

Found a marshal PrC on a D&D fan site, & it references some feats that I can't find in any of my books: Expanded Aura, Extra Major Aura, Extra Minor Aura, Greater Powerful Aura, Powerful Aura, & Formation Expert. Checked both the Miniatures Handbook & Heroes of Battle. Anyone know if these are...

Other than Complete Arcane & Magic of Incarnum, are there any other WotC books that have invocations? Any third-party sources? Any home-grown sources? (For the latter, I don't wish to discuss the validity/balance to them; that could be done in a separate thread in House Rules.)

While a suit of armor or shield is limited to a +10 virtual (non-epic) bonus, can other abilities be added to one, up to 200,000gp (that being the upper limit of the cost of a non-epic item)? Say, a suit of +5 breastplate of heavy fortification; can etherealness & undead controlling (both...

When a monster gains a template that changes it's type, but adds it's original type as an augmented subtype, does the monster still count as its original type for things such as the bane weapon special ability? An example would be the spellwarped ettin in MM III (page 162). Would it still be...

I'm researching the creation of a couple magic items that would bestow the benefits of feats. As such, I'm looking for official magic items that do this. I want to take a look at the requirements, pricing, etc. as examples. So far, all I've found are the mighty cleaving weapon special ability...

Over on the Wizards boards, a poster mentioned this ability from the glossary in MM III, page 211. However, no one can find out what monster has this ability. Does anyone know where this comes from? I can post a short description if need be, but I'm not sure how much I can post before I get a...

If you're using the psionics-magic transparency ruling (which is standard) in the XPH, should bend reality & reality revision allow spells to be mimicked? Conversely, should miracle, wish & limited wish be able to duplicate psionic powers? While the former are expressly forbidden to mimic...

Using the calling function of the gate spell, what are some good (& I don't mean the alignment) creatures to call? I've seen gate threads in the past, but don't remember any dealing with specifics of what's useful to call. Any links will, of course, be appreciated as well. I've gone through a...

1. The Aura ability says, unless otherwise noted, it effects all allies within a 60' range. What if the marshall doesn't want the effect to affect allies? What if he wants the bonus all to himself? Would he still have to verbalize to himself, or could he just plot out his tactics in his mind to...

Okay, I don't remember seeing this brought up here before, & a player in my group, already playing an assassin (the PrC), might multiclass into another PrC with the Death Attack ability (the dark hunter, from CW). Would the dark hunter class levels add to the assassin's for the save DC? What...

I didn't want to intrude in BloodyAx's Leadership threads, as my boggle is a bit different than what he's asking. I know a cohort's LA/ECL counts towards the Cohort Level, but does the leader's LA/ECL (if any) count towards his own Leadership Score? I'm guessing it doesn't... :\

Has anyone tried to figure out the above? I realize that since there isn't an LA listed, this indicates that the tsochari aren't meant as PCs, but for some reason, I think they're a really cool monster race that would be fun to play (most likely in an evil campaign), & the ability to skin-ride...

I know it's not normally feasible to combine the two, but there are some hinky monsters out there... there's at least one official creature that casts spells as if they are SPAs. Is there a rule anywhere that directly states that metamagic feats cannot be used with SPAs? I've searched the core...

Simple question, can the stone fist spell on page 163 of RoS be applied to a creature with natural claw attacks, where the claws are on the hands? For example, can a troll, xill, etc. benefit from this spell & have bludgeoning natural attacks? Can the claw attacks be turned into slam attacks...

Hi, I have the opportunity to play a sharn (Monsters of Faerun) in a non-good City of the Spider Queen campaign. The character will be aiming for the mystic theurge PrC [the only thing needed will be the Knowledge (religion) 6 ranks, but see below]. For those who don't know or have access to...

Like the subject reads, are than any rules/guidelines for buying or renting a living space? Maybe in the Stronghold Builders Guidebook? If there isn't anything official, any ideas on what the costs might be? (And Mod', you could then move this to House Rules.)

I have a PC (rogue-type) that wishes to make her own set of thieves tools (& possibly other types of small tools) using the Craft Skill. None of the specializations listed at the beginning of the skill write-up seem to apply to this; blacksmithing, locksmithing, or trapmaking look like the...
