Thank you, these seem like good places to start looking.

I have the original Birthright books but the populations don't convert well. Does the website update to 3rd edition?

I am looking for a good source for running a kingdom or city. PCs need to evaluate; the loyalty of nobles, resources available, treaties and trade agreements, where taxes come from and go, how many troops to keep, and how to replace those that have fallen in battle. I am looking for something...

In 2nd edition, there was a magic item called the anything item. It could transform into any item 3 times, it also was very expensive considering the payoff. My idea for 3.5 is to have a magic item that can transform and take on any enchantment within a predetermined limit. The trade off...

3) How would experience work regarding the added template? I have Savage Species and have read the rules regarding lycanthropy and advancing. Unfortunately, SS was 3.0 and one of the changes between 3.0 and 3.5 was experience. I want to add that I did further reading and when the change...

One of our characters recently became a weretiger. His normal class is scout. I see no reason his speed bonus should not apply to his other forms. 1) Can he use skirmish when he pounces? 2) Are there any sources regarding the use of magic items in hybrid or animal form? In the MM...

What abilities are lost when using alternate form or change shape? For example if an astral deva uses change shape to become human what would it lose or not have access to while in that form? If a silver dragon uses alternate form to become human, what would it lose or not have access to...

To be clear, my arguement is when comparing the prices of mithral armor and adamantium there is quite a difference in price between light and heavy armor. Also the price of mithral armor is inexpensive when compared to adamantium or when making magical. I am not arguing that heavy armor should...

Balance is important, that is why we have CR, character wealth by level, etc Regarding changes in buff spell duration from 3.0 to 3.5 I would conclude some game designers find balance to be important as well. The most important reason is character balance. If players are not having fun...

I included the cost for adamantium as well(x3) one would think that working with a harder material would increase the price but chain shirt 1,000 to full plate 9,000 is x9. Nate, you are entitled to your opinion but could you cite some reasons based on the numbers I have presented, or your own...

I don't have the Magic Item Compendium but I was wondering if they changed the price of mithral armor. A friend said he did not think it changed. Adamantium is priced 5,000-10,000 and 15,000. Normal armor weighs 25 lbs for light (chain shirt), 30-40 lbs for medium (breastplate and chainmail)...

I don't mean the craft skill. Magic items have a formula to calculate sale value. If the DM wishes to introduce a poison that has similar damage but a higher DC how would this affect the cost? If one wishes to have a poison be contact instead of injury how would this affect the cost? I don't...

I have a rogue with improved feint. Two party members have uncanny dodge. If one of them was dominated and forced to fight against us, would I be able to feint and gain sneak attack damage with an unarmed strike?

In that case I made a mistake in my calculations. So minus 2d6 (7) but I misssed copying Improved favored enemy so on the critical (+9) that makes it 105 pts of damage with a normal arrow. I am apprehensive about Deepwood Sniper. Do any other prestige classes give a +2 to the critical...

I made a mistake in not factoring the arrow damage. So figuring d8=8. Then the damage from the critical itself would be (+6+1+4+5+8)*3=72+ extra rolled damage 31 (avg) new total 103. Nice! The NPC teaches his students how to kill with one shot as well, so I am trying to stay away from too...

Great additions, I did not even think of bracers of archery. Since this guy is the owner/ lead trainer of an archery school I think it would be pretty weeny of him not to fess up if he used a slaying arrow. The NPC is from Dragon Annual #3 where there was a special called shot feat for 2nd...

Basically it is the same as vexing flanker from PH II but with someone else who has dual strike. i.e. +4 to attack when flanking. Both have combat reflexes as prereq. and Dual strike has a +3 base att. Vexing flanker is superior because it does not need someone else to have the feat.

Not long ago I saw a thread along this vein. Now I cannot find it. But recently I was looking to convert an NPC from 2nd edition to 3.5 and the character is said to have killed a frost giant with one arrow. Now frost giants did not have the benefit of their high constitution in 2nd edition...

I seem to recall a magic item from 2nd edition Dragonlance that gave a serial immortality through magic jar. I believe it was called the Bloodstone of Fistigastandalis or something like that. Also sometime ago, I don't know if it can still be found, there was a elixir of longevity on the...

Yes.
