If fighting against a knight in full plate armor, what would be the best weapons? Can your standard "D&D" broad sword or long sword slice through plate armor? Or, is it like George Martin and how he describes an experienced swordsman like Bronn going for the joints in the plate, and that's his...

I was thinking about world creation today and wanted something to echo medieval earth, only instead of all humans, it would be a mix of humans and fantasy races - elves, dwarves, orcs, goblins, hobgoblins, halflings, etc. The climate & overall topography would be somewhat similar to earth. In...

This would mostly be spells in the level 4-7 range - good spells for some evil clerics and wizard/sorcerers. (Not necessarily Evil domain or Evil descriptor, just something a bad guy would use) Hoping for at least a few that offer no save or no SR, as the good guys often make their saves as...

To start a new thread rather than hijacking another, what spells have 1 round casting times out there? I am interested related to the Arcane Spellsurge mentioned in the thread... I know the Summon Monster/Nature's Ally spells have 1 round casting times. Sleep, a level 1 spell, also has a one...

I could swear there is a spell that allows the caster to steal control of somebody's summoned creature. In looking through my spell compendium, I could not find it. Am I blind, or is it in a 3rd party book somewhere? Thanks

or, does it count as a Swift or Immediate action? I ask because the SRD says it is a Free Action, but then specifies that you can only cast one Quickened spell per round, which puts it more in line with Immediate or Swift. The SRD also does not really go into Swift & Immediate actions that I...

Both are Metamagic feats from the Book of Vile Darkness. Corrupt spell makes a spell Evil and also changes half the damage to Unholy. So, a Corrupt fireball would be 5d6 of fire damage and 5d6 Unholy at the cost of 1 level. Violate Spell is similar, but half the damage is Vile damage. So, a...

Level 20 arcane caster, with a focus on necromancy. Possibly a few levels of PrC in there as well (any suggestions? Archmage?) Formerly human, maximized intelligence. Some good high level spells to use on them. Should it go specialized caster or not? If it specializes on necromancy...

A powerful lich (level 19-20 arcane caster) is going to be faced off against a large and powerful party of players a few levels below the lich. If the lich has a round or 3 to prepare, could it use barred version of Forcecage as a defensive means of stopping the party's melee attackers, who...

Is there a Death Knight in 3.5? I looked through 3 different Monster Manuals, plus Libris Mortis, and could not find one. Is it called something different in 3E? Thanks

I was planning on having a standard marilith at the end of the next adventure for the PCs. The players are a cleric, a psion, a rogue, a tank dwarf fighter and a finesse fighter/paladin... all are standard PHB races. They will also have a level 6 or 7 ranger apprentice with them, and maybe...

The players are going up against an evil mage that has projected his image onto the edge of the battlefield (session ending cliffhanger after they just defeated the mage’s minions). The real mage is nearby (about 60 feet away) and hidden via Greater Invisibility. This is a 3.5E game and the...

Hi there - my first post here. I signed up to help get ideas for my ongoing D&D campaign, which is 3.5E and has been ongoing for about 18 months now. (knock on wood) The players in my campaign will likely be entering a L/G dwarven kingdom that is allied with the neighboring human kingdom...
