Well, you're really only losing the effectiveness of the various Image spells (silent image, major image, etc). The illusionist still has the blur, displacement, disguise/alter self, invis, greater ivis, phastasmal killer, mirror image, and others. Illusionist is still one of my top three...

Thanks for the advice, anyone else out there keep it coming, :) EHR

Im sorta new to minis and I need as much help as I can get, any good strategy suggestions, build ideas, etc. I have 200 points to work with if that helps EHR

I hate it when a good plan gets killed by the DM" because I said so" I've played for about 4 years, yes I'm a youngin on these boards but it was DM antics like that which made me pick up the books and take over the group. Suspension of disbelief is a problem when the players aren't getting...

I would have to go with cleric with fire domain. He's human and would have the feats to be passable in combat. He turned the ringwraiths, he cast fire seeds(if you look at the Hobbit), heat metal, daylight, align weapon(darn Balrogs and their DR :) ), dispel magic/prot evil/dispel evil/magic...

I went through this, it's not hard to remedy it just takes patience. Start making combats easier. Seriously. Don't equip NPCs as well, toss more monsters with out treasure at them. and slowly start making attacks at their gear. Rust monsters, ethereal filchurs, Hamatulas and that thing from...

I can empathize with you. I'm also nineteen and my first attempt at running a campaign was my senior year in high school at 17. I tried to be as flexible as I could but in the end I lost two players because they could not be flexible in return. They would create characters that would destroy...

- The sword has no pluses to hit or damage this doesn't change market price - The sword bypasses any Damage Reduction, Magical or Ethereal protection or effectively anything that would prevent a normal hit from having its normal damage effect. (Armor or natural qualities of an opponent are not...

I take it this was not an accidental(miscounted a fireball radius) type thing? I've seen accidental and intentional PC-PC deaths and while it sucks, it may be something to talk to you DM about before you leave the game, or to talk to the offending player about. ETH

Something else you could do is toss an Inevitable at the party. One of the inevitables is a creature that ruthlessly hunts down those who would deny death. Being raised too often is listed as possibly drawing the attention of one. They are in the MM now so keep tossing them at the party till...

oops, I missed an important detail, since they can't be maxed above 18 I would take two points away from the Dex and add them to the Int instead, or maybe Con since racially you could take it to 20

Actually, I would have to ask you to ignore Drow. At such a low level picking a level adjustment class is going to cost you hit points and that is a particularly necessary commodoty. I woud recommend dwarf for a dungeon crawl for three reasons. 1. the con bump is always handy for a fort-weak...

Our agreed upon rule was as long as half the party lives the campaign continues. Our Dm was running us through Pools of Radiance only we didn't know it. At a point we encountered a big nasty that we weren't supposed to fight and instead of playing said nasty as the mod described he sent it...

the party is sitting in a tavern, we don't know why we're there but the dwarf is gonna get sloopy drunk, he's a dwarf afterall Waitress" What can I get ye fine men tonight?" Dwarf" two pitchers of ale, a room, and an hour of your time" Every eye in the bar turns to the dwarf, who follows up...

if you really want to exploit both, you can two weapon fight with a longsword and armor spikes, and still use a shield for defense. Reading the description of armor spikes lets you do it. It's really dirty but at the same time it's also nice to get the extra attacks and the high AC.
