Hi all. My group played 3.5 for a long time and only recently decided to try 4E. So we're all kind of new to the whole thing. So please forgive my ignorance. I'm sure this is a really stupid question, but here goes anyway: If a wizard has an ongoing spell effect (one that is sustained by a...

Hey, what ever happened to the movie they were making based in the Midnight setting? I remember seeing an awesome trailer for it a few years back, but then I never heard anything again. Did it go straight to DVD? If so, does anyone know where I can find it? Thanks in advance.

I'm sure this question has been asked and answered a dozen times, but this is the first time it has come up in my campaign. So please bear with me... Can a Rod of Flame Extinguishing negate a red dragon's breath weapon? (I'm assuming that if it could work, it would have to be readied to do so...

Whoever combined the threads regarding James Mishler's "ramblings" has mis-spelled his name (which is written at the top of his website in the left-hand sidebar). There is no "C" in Mishler. Also, I think it is inappropriate to call his submissions "rants". I hope a moderator will consider...

The rules for Spell Immunity say that it functions pretty much the same as Spell Resistance. Since Spell Resistance can be voluntarily dropped to receive beneficial spells, I thought the same would apply to Spell Immunity. So I crafted an encounter for my gaming group in which a spell caster...

Hi. My party's wizard wants to use a *Lesser* Empower Rod to empower a *Maximized* Scorching Ray. I understand that it is OK to empower a maximized spell, and I know the rules for doing it. What I'm not sure about is whether the Maximized Scorching Ray counts as a 1st-3rd level spell for the...

Hi. My group and I finally gave the Buff cards a try during our last session, and we quickly discovered that the spell Deathward is missing. As we are running an Age of Worms campaign, that spell is very important for my players. (The party's druid also noticed the absence of the spell Speak...

Can someone explain to me what "the Kyngdoms" are? More specifically, can anyone explain why half of the news items on the front page have "the Kyngdoms" listed as a subtitle/descriptor? Thanks in advance. Ignorantly yours, Menexenus

The wording in the SRD about the mechanics of Identifying a magic item are sort of vague. I could use everyone's help with a ruling that my players will not feel is arbitrary. Here's my problem: the party found a bunch of opaque stoppered bottles that radiated magic (under Detect Magic), so...

Ok, I'm running an old 3.0 module for my gaming group (Necromancer Games' "The Hall of the Rainbow Mage"). In one of its more dastardly traps, a room full of acid is released. The text says that the acid does 2d4 points of damage per round to "all PCs, metal, leather, wood, cloth equipment and...

In 3.0 the Scry spell specified the conditions under which the target would be aware that they were being watched. It doesn't say the same thing in 3.5. Does that mean that targets are no longer aware of being scryed upon? Thanks in advance.

You know, it suddenly occurred to me that Monte Cook had lots of friends who worked for WotC. So, chances are good that he knew 4E was coming up soon. A new edition of D&D had the potential to make all of his lines (Arcana Evolved, Iron Heroes, Ptolus) obsolete. In addition, Monte has...

What happens to a (non-Native) Outsider when you kill it? I know that they can't be raised when they are killed, except by Wishes and the like. Is the dead Outsider's soul just annihilated? Does it matter whether it is killed on its home plane or elsewhere? Does it matter whether the...

Maybe I'm just dense, but I'm having trouble understanding the intent of the Withdraw rules. Here's the wording: [From d20SRD.org] WITHDRAW - Withdrawing from melee combat is a full-round action. When you withdraw, you can move up to double your speed. The square you start out in is not...

I'm running the Age of Worms for my group, and they are starting to ask me questions about the backstory that I am looking up as I go. I found something that doesn't make any sense to me, so I want to see if I have understood it correctly. Ok, so there was this big battle about 1500 years ago...

Hello all. My group is getting to the point where it is thinking about purchasing a mansion-like dwelling in an upscale neighborhood of Greyhawk (the Garden District). This building would function kind of like a headquarters for the group. This has led me to start thinking about real estate...

Will previous purchasers of Buff Cards get any kind of update or patch to get the revisions that were added to Buff Cards (Revised)?

Quasqueton's poll/thread about real world geology reminded me of a question that has been smo(u)ldering in the back of my mind for many years now. I didn't want to hijack his thread, but I do want to get an answer to my question at long last. Has anyone other than me found it strange that in...

Suppose someone flying around by means of the Fly spell is stunned by a mind-flayer's stunning attack. What happens to the flyer, according to the D&D rules? Do they hover in place where they ended their last turn? Do they continue on their previous trajectory until they hit something? Do...

I was reading this month's Dragon magazine's article on Heironeous. They have a small section on suggested prestige classes, and I was surprised to see that there was no reference to a Knight of Holy Shielding PrC (especially considering that group was mentioned in the article). Can it be...
