    Bug in boards. Loss of login information

    I've been having troubles with the new boards losing my login information. Although I was able to post when the new boards first came up, a few days later it quit allowing me to log in. After clearing all the cookies and going through the 'forgot my password' process, I was once again able to...

    PrC: Arcane Valet (extended Pirate edition)

    Here is a PrC that I'm putting together for one of my characters in a sea based campaign. The campaign is set in the Forgotten Realms and uses the 3.0 rule set. Comments and suggestions welcome. There is also an HTML version of the PrC available. This material is Copyright 2003 by Bret...

    Can you change the icons on old threads?

    Seeing the new icons, I decided to try and change the icon on one of my old threads. When I look in the house rules forum, it shows the old icon. When I go to the actual thread, it shows the new icon. What gives?

    How does one balance a PrC?

    I've looked in the DMG (both versions) and haven't found much useful information on this. How does one balance a PrC? Especially one that gives full spellcaster advancement? How do you decide if the requirements are stiff enough, the powers too strong or weak, etc to determine if a custom PrC...

    Arcane Valet PrC

    I'm trying to put together a PrC for a valet wizard, using the Loremaster as a basis. This is for a wizard that is the valet to a ship's officer. I would like to hear other peoples comments on how to balance it. I've tried to create it in a way that a Bard, Sorcerer or Wizard could qualify for...

    D&D 3E/3.5 [3.5] What was so broken about Wall of Iron?

    I noticed that Wall of Iron was moved up a level. It is now 6th level, a full level higher than Wall of Force. I must be missing something. What was so broken about Wall of Iron that it had to be moved up a level? In almost all cases, Wall of Force looks like a better spell to me.

    D&D 3E/3.5 [3.5] What did they do to improve Spider Climb?

    I noticed in the conversion document that Spider Climb changed from a 1st to a 2nd level spell. What did they do to improve the spell so it was worth a 2nd level spell?

    Why no sling for the Rogue?

    I've been wondering this for quite a while now. The thief from both first and second edition had this weapon, yet third edition doesn't. Any idea why this weapon was dropped from the rogue's weapon proficiency list?

    Will 3.5e change most characters?

    I've read a lot of stuff on 3.5e. One thought that keeps coming into my mind is 'These rules are going to change the way I attempt to build a character." The more I hear about them, the more I'm convinced that there will be a substantial difference between the way a particular character was...

    Anyone know of an Evangelist PrC?

    Does anyone know of an Evangelist PrC for clerical types? A friend is looking to create a character that really does try to convert the masses. We are looking for ideas and I thought that I would ask here.

    Will they actually try to use their terminology in 3.5?

    I'm sort of curious. How many people think they will start using their terminology with a little more consistency in 3.5? Things like specifying things in terms of spell slots for maximum level of potions, wands, etc. Making Rary's Mnemonic Enhancer also specify spell slots. As written, you...

    Question about Magic Circle spells

    If a defending spellcaster casts a Magic Circle spell (such as Magic Circle against Evil), this normally protects against summoned creatures. Does everyone who is within the radius gain the benefits of the spell, or does it only benefit the creature it is centered on? The spell refers to...

    Loremaster Secret selection

    I'm playing a Wizard 11 who is about to pick up their first level of Loremaster. I'm curious what people think the best Loremaster secret is. I can take any of them from 1-8. Currently, I'm seriously considering taking Applicable Knowledge for the feat. Take either Silent Spell or Greater Spell...

    Making up book titles

    I thought I would get some suggestions from this crowd. I've got a few books and manuscripts for one of my characters. I would like to give titles and subject matter for these books. The setting is the Forgotten Realms in the year 1161. The character grew up in Amn, moved to the Baldur's Gate...

    How much for this item?

    Here is another item for people to try and price. The item (a suit of clothes) uses an item slot. It allows the user an unlimited number of Dimension Door spells to be cast. It has several limitations on it: It only works one day per year. The Dimension Door will only work for going to through...

    Do you need to hold material components?

    This was brought up in another thread , but do you have to hold material components in your hand? Under Components (PHB 151) it doesn't say anything about this. It does say you need a hand free for the Somatic components, but it only says you have to have the Material or Focus components. Is...

    Spell Mastery for a Wizard

    Do many people take this feat? It seems like it would be heavily campaign dependent. Either the campaign is one where this feat would be priceless (because the GM is always attacking the spellbooks) or it is very seldom used (because the spellbooks are generally safe). What are other people's...

    How high can you go before getting +1 BAB?

    I'm just curious, how high a level character can you create with multiclassing without gaining +1 BAB. This is obviously not an effective character, certainly not something I would ever want to play. I was just curious how far it could be taken. The obvious start is: Rogue 1 / Wizard 1 /...
