Another silly question, phrased as neutrally as possible so I can give this to my gaming group if needed. For which creatures would one use a Saddle of the Nightmare, Adventurer's Vault, page 124? Germane text as follows: "This black, twisted leather bridle lets you take advantage of your...

I'll try to phrase this as neutrally as possible, looking for others' opinions. Assume layout thus, fifteen foot wide corridor Key: x - empty square d - dragonborn a - ally e - enemy xad eae xex xxe Could the dragonborn breathe in such a way as to catch only the two enemies along the outside...

So I'm sort of un-optimizing an Avenger (Retributive). Thematically he wants to wield a staff, and is MC'd as an invoker so can use the properties of most staffs (not as an implement per se, except with his one Invoker power) and has a regular Holy Symbol for his other Avenger Implement powers...

Miss Me Once, the Combat Veteran PP exploit, level 12, is ranged and from my reading would provoke OA. Your input is desired. Options: 1- lame, needs errata to be a close burst 10 instead. 2- you missed something and no OA is provoked 3- it's fine as is. 4- other, please explain. Z

A non-fighter (in this specific example, a Warlord), takes the Student of the Sword feat (page 208) sometime before level 10. Then at 11 he chooses the Swordmaster paragon path (page 88) instead of one of the less-than-stellar Warlord paths. At 11th level, among other things he gains "When you...

"Warlock’s Curse Once per turn as a minor action, you can place a Warlock’s Curse on the enemy nearest to you that you can see...." So, to clarify. If a warlock curses a foe two squares away, he cannot curse any others unless they are two squares away or less? What if all the 'closest' enemies...

Trying to build a warlord and not coming up with anything viable for our small team of heroes. The builds, level 3, I've been working on tend to come out a lot like a coat-rack. You know, bland, holds the other heroes coats, doesn't really shine. Is there any build advice for making a more...

If a Rogue takes Pact Initiate, when he uses the encounter level warlock spell (say, Eyebite) and he is wielding a +1 pact blade that's also a dagger, does he get to add his Rogue Weapon Talent to the attack roll? I'm conflicted as to the answer, but a strict reading of RAW indicates it's an...

Ok, just got the Expanded Psionics Handbook and I like the flavor of the Wilder as a sort of expert/adventurer with a strong touch of psionics. They have a great adventuring skill list and a base 4 skill points per level. Because of their extremely limited power selections I'm having trouble...

Hmmph. Lost it, can't find it. There was a thread with an immense listing for good shapes to assume for the Shifter PrC from Masters of the Wild. Can someone help me find it? :) Greg

I'm preparing to run a low-ish magic game, and am trying to structure the world accordingly. The basic character building, applicable to NPCs as well as PCs, is the only allowed classes are those whose spell lists don't go over level 6. Bards, Adepts, Paladins and Rangers are the primary...

Ok, I cleaned out my cache and cookies et cetera a few days back and since then every single FaRICKING time I try to log on to make a post or a reply I have to enter my user name and password. Nothing seems to fix it. A little advice please? I'm not a computard but it's starting to get on my...

Had a dream that contained this image. The original was bolder and darker; this is just a quick sketch. (I can draw, but I'm really slow at it :D) Any clues? I can't locate it. It could be just a random image dredged from my subconscious. If you have any language specialist buddies I'd be...

Witches normally access simple spells. If a witch casts a spell without components at all, it's considered to have the psionic descriptor. At 9th level, a mind witch gains access to any spell with the psionic descriptor - slightly better than the Psion (Ceremonial) feat. The Psion feat treats...

Our heroes have just finished a fearsome struggle against a dire bear, it's lifeblood still leaking upon the snow-clad ground outside the lair of a hill giant, on an unmapped island north of Drell. Part of the team, captured and inside a filthy abbatoir of the giant's have just now managed to...

So when a Wizard specialist gains a new level he has to pick one spell from his specialized school as one of his two free spells gained per level. What's the official word on what he does when he already has all of those at the maximum level? What if he also has all the lower level spells?

A friend gave me a new word game. Well, it's probably not new, but I can't find a "name" for it and can't locate anything on the internet helping me to solve it. The rules are simple, start with a 1-letter word, then build to it by adding a letter to the beggining or the end of the existing...

I received the following letter in my email regarding some professional RPG work I've done in the past. After some research, I find it to be a legitimate request; no requests for money or any kind of scam. After a few exchanges with the author, I figured I'd post the information here, as I know...

The Improved Familiar feat is on the list for my sorcerer, but he's happy with his current familar, just wants to upgrade it to Celestial. (Yes, I am aware this isn't the greatest use of a feat.) The feat says it's for new familiars, but I don't want my character to have to kill his current...

(Ok, two of my players surf the board, and this warning won't stop them anyway.) I'm down with the flu, but expect to be better enough by tonight to run my once-a-week game. What I need is some ideas about where to go with tonight's session. The PC's are mostly 5th level, one at 4th. Here's...
