I'm working on a rogue character and I was looking at crippling strike and a couple of other skills that do temporary ability damage. Based on the text I couldn't tell if these abilities stack. If they do that really makes the high level rogue rock! I don't know if it would still be worth...

what Piratecat said I think Divine Might would be a great name for you guys. More martial for the arena. You wanna strike fear into the heart of your opponent, not convert him to your cause. dolza

Tis good to see you back and writing on here! I love the new perspective and i'm looking forward to seeing how the bard works out for you. On the topic of high level games what was causing you trouble running it? my players have just reached 14th level and its becoming harder and harder to...

I have one character that is a Spirit Shaman. He has gained the ability to make himself incorporeal for 1 minute each day. I'm wondering about what all he can do while he is in this state. Do his spells affect the material/corporeal world normally? Does he need something like the...

I'm not quite clear about one thing with Divine spell casting. Can a cleric choose not to fill a slot during his daily preparations and the pray for it later in the same way a wizard can? I thought the same rule applied to both typs but the way i read the SRD i think it says if a cleric leaves...

Tithing etc. Well i had pretty much taken it for granted that people would be tithing to the church. It provides lots of services to its parishoners. Also, when the group has done jobs or missions for different churches in the past the rest of the party has been good about compensating the...

Write up a code then? Ok, to answer a question and ask some more: No he can not cast spells. Even though he is a 4th level paladin, his wis is not high enough. I dont want to force the player to act in a certain way however, in the description of the Kensai it specifically states it is a...

A few levels ago one of my players, a Paladin of Clangeddin/Fighter/Kensai took leadership and attracted a cohort. The cohort i gave him was a lawful neutral character who was trying to learn/follow the example of a Lawful Good character to change her ways. The problem has been this, the...

6 spells? So you're saying that he looses 6 of his highest level spells? one for each negative level gained? As a spirit shaman his spells known look like this 7th- 3 spells 6th- 4 spells etc on down to 1st level spells so in effect, he would lose all of his 7th level spells and all but one...

During this weekend's gaming sessions one of the players got hit with Energy Drain. There was some confusion over how to rule the new spell casting ability of the Spirit Shaman that got struck. The character is 13th level he got hit for 6 levels We did the -1 to atks/saves/etc. We did the...

Yep! that pretty much answers my questions regarding the cleric spells. The logic is solid adn there's great in game reasons for it. Thanks for taking the time to explain it. I've only been playing for about 8 years so i caught the tail end of 2nd edition and moved quickly to third edition...

I must say that I am very unhappy! I try not to read a story hour that doesn't have at least 3 or 4 pages of posts. That way if it's good, as your is, I have lots more to read. Anyway, keep on writing please! I love the way you've done clerics. It makes great sense. When I start a new...

Istivilin Arc I'm actually running my group through there. I've had to change some of the flavor stuff so I can run the adventures. We started with the last installment and if anyone survives the Malagoth then i'll send them on the second adventure to secure one of the border forts. I just...

Beaten but not creamed So we had the big fight last friday. Before being taken out of the fight completely by an air elemental, the chasme held the party off long enough for the BBEG to buff himself with plenty of spells and prepare for the party. The combonation of a blasphemy or two and a...

"Destroying a kensai's favored weapon is kinda mean, and the player will likely get bitter." The reason for destroying the weapon was it does so much blasted damage! I mean, being a kensai he's added a ton of powers to it and he's using monkey grip to use an oversided axe to begin with. But...

Thanks for the advice. I'll clarify a couple of things. Derakshan is a 14th level cleric of the Elder Elemental Eye. Domains are Evil and Earth. Right now he's trying to get one of his captives to tell him how to destroy an entity that's trying to take over the city of Istivilin. The drow...

Ok, here's the situation: My players are running through the final instalment of the Istivilin encounters in Dungeon magazine. They're almost through with the Underdark portion of the adventure. All they have left to do is fight Derakshan, 6 umber hulks, a chasme demon, and a 11th level...

Ah, I found it on the SRD since I'm at work. Thanks! that makes more sense now.

This Friday i'm running the final chapter of the Dungeon Adventure about Istivilin and the BBEG Derakshan is has a scroll of Unholy Word. I couldn'd find this in my PHB but i did find holy word. Do i just flip the alignment wording to match or is this spell written up somewhere? Thanks for...

When I've used this i always give the weapon it's own square. I usually put a die out there to represent the weapon. If the character is next to the target the weapon can still attack the target. Also, where did you get tiny from? the examples in the SRD are battleaxe, warhammer, light...
