    D&D 5E Ignite flammable objects

    Hi all! Several spells that do fire damage mention that the spell will (or may) also 'ignite flammable objects' I have been unable to find any reference to whether there is a chance they are ignited (and how to determine whether they are ignited or not) and/or what happens when flammable...

    Adjustment for underequipped party

    Hi all, I'm currently running a campaign that is rather low on magic item availability. Although I have been able to avoid major problems, I have occasionally run into situations where the party just isn't equipped to deal with a situation or opponent. The party is now nearing lvl 10, and I...

    Setting specific class ability and Alternate Class Features

    I'm playing a Druid in the Dark Sun setting published on athas.org. Because of the fitting flavour, I'm taking the alternate class features of the Waste Druid from Sandstorm. However, the Druid from Dark Sun as described in the athas.org sourcebook gets 'Nature’s Speech' at fourth level instead...

    christmas or newyear themed adventure

    I'm spending the holidays with some friends, and although we like to play D&D (3.5) we have decided against something we have tried several years in a row: run a one shot. Mainly because each time we try, all the time we want to invest is spent making characters. Which made me think: in OD&D...

    Ashbound attack bonus and grapple

    I have a question, and my google-foo is weak, so I thought I'd check here: The Ashbound feat from the Eberron Campaign setting gives (besides a longer duration) a +3 luck bonus on attacks by the summoned creatures. Does this also apply to their Grapple checks? I started wondering when an...

    Savage Progression Transitional Class Tiefling to Half-Fiend

    I was investigating the possibility of having a Tiefling get more fiend-like, and found this : http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/sp/20040319a In particular, The Tiefling/Half-Fiend Transition Class At first, I was happy. Obviously, someone (WotC) had already done the work for me, and all...

    Using other materials with Dark Sun

    We're preparing to play a 3.5 Dark Sun campaign using the rules from www.athas.org once our current campaign ends. While researching possible character options, I ran into the following problem: Athas has no gods. Instead, clerics are 'powered' from elemental or para-elemental planes. This...

    Master of Radiance

    I've been looking for a prestige class that would give me Turn Undead without requiring me to be of a Good alignment. I ran into the Master of Radiance from Libris Mortis in several listings, but always accompanied by 'unclear whether it grants turn undead'. I have been unable to find any FAQ...

    Planar Touchstone object weight

    The Planar Touchstone Feat requires an object of at least 250 gp value associated with the Planar Touchstone Site. (it is unclear whether this item disappears when you select a site or you should carry it with you. I'm opting for the latter) When listing my equipment, I found that the reference...

    Quill of Scribing (complete Mage)

    Some questions about this magic item: -Can you also use the Quill to write spells in your spellbook? (if not by RAW, would you allow it?) -Could you write scrolls using this skill while camping in the wild? -Scribing a scroll takes '1 day' per 1000 gp. How much time does it take the Quill to...

    Divine Sorcerer

    I have created a homebrew version of the Sorcerer, who can change his known spells by negotiating with a demon, treating a select list of specific demons as 'spellbooks'. Replacing a known spell takes one day per spell level. (this is a build in personal version of the retraining rules specific...

    Planar Touchstone feat, Catalogues of Enlightenment, Kobold domain power

    I am considering 'picking up the slack' (no rogue in the party) by taking the Planar Touchstone feat, linking it to the Catalogues of Enlightenment, and picking up the Kobold domain power. That would give me the Trapfinding Class feature and add Search and Disable Device to my class skills...

    Archivist utility spells

    I'm currently working on an Archivist build. I plan to make him Knowledge and Utility focussed. I can start at lvl 9. This means I have some money to throw around equipping my character with the spells I really want. I noticed the group has no rogue, and I was wondering which (divine) spells...

    D&D 5E Looking for suggestions on next level

    I'm currently playing a character that has multiclassed like crazy: Fighter2/Ranger2/Spellthief2/Master2/Barbarian1. (Note: Master is an Expert-like base class from the Dragonlance War of the Lance sourcebook) I am finally at the point where I am ready (mechanically) to take my PrC...

    WotI Milenian plague adventure

    Posting this as allD&D because it's kind of a cross version question, although the focus is on D&D 3.5 I'm running a Wrath of the Immortals campaign using D&D 3.5 rules. The party is currently in the Hollow World, about to travel (back) to the Milenian empire. I checked the WotI HW timeline...

    Casting touch spell at remote and covered target.

    A small introduction: The party is currently carrying the horn of a slain monster whose essence still inhabits the horn. The monster had been posing as a god, and has been communicating his position to his high cleric, whom the party is about to enter combat with. My plan was to have the high...

    Far Shot (Feat) and Accuracy (Spell)

    Far Shot increases your range increments by 1.5 (multiply by 1.5) Accuracy (spell from Complete Arcane) increases your range increments by 2.(multiply by 2) Do they stack? If so, how? Should I 'add' the additions (as is the case for other stacking multipliers) or do they multiply: addition...

    Dragonlance Dragonlance age categories

    I am trying to create the Tanis Half-Elven character for a 3.5 Dragonlance campaign, but are running into a little problem. According to the official Dragonlance sources, Tanis Half-Elven is over 100 years old, but looks to be about 21 due to his elven heritage. Also, his Strength is 16...
