I've got the 3.5 PHB in front of me

[ergeheilalt]

Revion: You might want to take a look again Each spell in a wizards spell book costs 100 gp per page, yes; however, 3e spells took up two pages per level (1 page for cantrips). A 5th level spell takes up 10 pages, but in 3.5 only 5 pages. Thats right, half off baby

Erge - a really happy wizard now.

How about the feat Magical Affinity??

Per Urban Arcana, +2 to Spellcraft and Use Magical Device.

 

[Ravellion]

Well well! I am impressed so far.

I have got several questions. Any answer would be appreciated, and I do think many people will want to hear the answer to these:

What is the duration of the bull's strength spell, and how much enhancement bonus to strength does it give?

How much of a bonus does Greater Weapon Focus give, and what are the prerequisites? Is it fighter only?

How much of a bonus does Greater Weapon Specialization give, and what are the prerequisites?

....Well, the current cost in the PHB 3e (second printing) is exactly 100 gp per page...apparently the cost per page to inscribe new spells did not change in 3.5e.

Oh the cost per page didn't change, but the NUMBER OF PAGES did!! In 3E a spell takes up 2 pages per level, now it will take up 1 page per level - hence 50% less - yippe again!

Monks, animate dead

Well, the new spell scribing info is good for my enchanter and my necromancer ...

What level is animate dead for wizards/sorcerers? I'm really sick of waiting for 9th level, even though I'm within 3,000 xp.

As for my other active character, what is the monk special ability progression?

 

[Ruvion]

ah you are right! The page count for scribing spells have decreased, according to Roy, in 3.5e. My bad...this is what you get when you never play wizards...sigh.

I'd like info on Druid revisions and the Ranger's animal companion. Thanks.

 

[Olgar Shiverstone]

Great info, Roy!

Can you confirm/deny the dwarf's movement rate in medium/heavy armor?

How does the bard's casting spells in armor work?

Can you confirm the mechanics of Greater Two Weapon Fighting?

Thanks!

 

[JoeBlank]

Let me add my thanks to the others, Roy.

Can you give us word on the sorcerer and bard mechanic that allows them to swap out spells at even levels?

And are ther any changes to the sorcerer's skill list?

That should be it for the sorcerer, if the info we have up until now is correct.

Does Wild Empathy use diplomacy?
