In the last session the party wizard casted time stop, shapechanged himself into a colossal dragon, and asked me if he could "cup his colossal hands" around a medium sized NPC. He wanted to make him "trapped" without touching him, in accordance with the "other creatures are invulnerable to your...

Hi there. This question came out in our last gaming session. Does a large (or larger) creature "repositioning" itself, i.e. moving without exiting an opponent threatened area, provoke an AoO? I'm attaching two images to make the question more clear. In the images, B is making the last 5ft of...

Hi there. My more-than-10-years-old campaign entered the epic realms a year ago, and since then I am having "issues" with the party wizard. I know, wizard and epic spells are not a good combination, but I'm talking about a not so optimized wizard, in a not so optimized party. The thing is, I...

Probably a typo here: the intoxicated condition actually partially helps the affected creature, since it reduces the damage it suffers. Am I wrong?

If I read them correctly, the Help rules make more than one helper redundant and useless, since the Help action only gives advantage for a check, and it doesn't stack. So we can have more than one PC trying to move a large boulder helping the stronger PC, but their combined forces is equal to...

If I read it correctly, you can make a Coup de grace only on unconscious targets (no more paralized, helpless, and so on), it does not concede a save roll to the victim, but you still have to hit it, and the only benefit you have is that you have advantage (the creature also falls prone, but the...

Spoiler alert: the following post contains spoilers regarding the Dreaming Dark trilogy. I have enjoyed the Keith Baker's first trilogy, and I wanted to implement some parts of the adventures of Daine and co. in my future campaign, but I have a plot problem I can't overcome. If Lakashtai is an...

I'm going to start a new campaign (3.5) as a DM, and (finally) it will be in Eberron. (Un)fortunately I have a group of players extremely adept at finding plot and/or setting inconsistencies. That's the reason why I have to verify what inconsistencies Eberron hides behind its wonderful...

I always had some difficulties while trying to create some drama in a world where resurrection is avalaible. Ok: it's expensive; maybe there aren't many who can cast resurrection spells (unless you are playing high magic); there are ways to get around it (stole the soul, feed the corpse to a...

The Dragons of Eberron book provides a bunch of theories about the truth behind the Aerenal - Argonnessen war, but I find none of them quite appealing. So here I am, asking what's the answer you have found in your campaign for this "puzzling behavior".

Hi there. Does anyone know if there is an Epic spells sourcebook outside the ELH? Third parties publications are ok. At least, can someone point me to sources outside the ELH with epic spells inside, even if they aren't entirely dedicated to them?

Hy there. Christmas is coming and my group and I are going to create a custom-made DM's screen for our beloved (?) dungeon master. The problem is: there are too many wonderful D&D images out there! What would you suggest for a nice 3.5 DM custom-made screen?

Hi there. I was thinking about this combo for a group of NPCs. For those who don't know, the Inspire Recklessness feature of the War Chanter (CWar) allows to subtract a number up to your bab as a bonus to your attacks, reducing your AC by the same amount. So, +1 to attacks, -1 to AC...

Straight to the topic: the sorcerer of the group I'm dming has reached the 16h caster level and would select the Maze spell. The spell in itself seems to me a little over the edge, if compared to other core 8th level spells, but I would like to obtain some feedback before saying "No", which is...

Can a Wraith be turned into stone by a Prismatic Spray spell?

Count the number of squares you jump as part of your move. If you run out of movement, you fall. You can end your first move in midair if you double move We can choose to take any action in any order. So, what happens if I use my move action to jump, see that there's another enemy approaching...

If you can make multiple attacks in a round, you decide which attack to apply the extra damage to after all the attacks are rolled. Scenario 1: So, what happens if my Ranger attacks twice the same fighter, and the fighter uses Last Ditch Evasion on the last attack? By the quoted rule I could...

What are you going to answer to your players if they want to trip, disarm their opponents? What if they try to sunder an opponent's weapon? "The rules don't allow this": period?

Let's suppose a wizard and a fighter have the same Str score. Does that mean that, at the same level, they have the same chance of hitting an opponent AC with a weapon attack? I still can't realize what's behind getting rid of the different babs.

The title says it all. Can I use, for example, scorching ray pointing my opponent boots, helm and armor? Or a disintegrate to erase his sword?
