Dang... you're right. I never noticed that, and I've been playing closer to 1E and 2E rules. Then I guess Mitch, our theoretical weak-Willed friend, would be suspicious, and if he could just go around the orc which he sees in front of him. Since he never takes damage, he'll probably just be...

Smoke & Mirrors No, Mitch can't. He failed the save, so his mind and body "believe" that there's an orc there attacking him. With mind over body, if he tried to move through the orc, his body would stop him subconsciously. He could, but if he took an illusionary hit, he'd take illusionary...

DD Passengers Sounds a bit too much of an adjustment to DD to me. The caster is spending his/her spell to deliver another party member to a critical position on the field. Sounds like a legitimate use of a spell. If the DD were to deliver multiple people to the doorstep of the bad guy, then...

I de-nixxed it... Hey all, Just wanted to let you know, that after this thread, I've allowed my player to use Practiced Spellcaster. I did drop the +4 CL to +2, though. I agreed with both camps - the multiclass spellcasters could use help camp and the PS feat was too powerful camp - so I...

Recruiting I've been lucky to have a lot of good players readily available to me, but when I first went to college I wasn't sure if I would find a good group to game with. In high school I had played 2 campaigns, AD&D with classmates and Palladium with neighborhood friends. They were all...

Scored a hit Sounds to me like a hit was scored... just no damage was dealt. Say the DR comes from really thick skin. The poisoned weapon crashes on the skin... leaving its poison... but doesn't dig deep enough to wound the creature with DR.

Agreed... Agreed.

Practiced Spellcaster would allow your Knock spell to affect ever larger doors (10 square feet per caster level) from an ever safter distance (100 feet + 10 feet per level) and you would be able to stay invisible for longer (1 minute per caster level). Other infiltration spells that would...

3 House Rules #1: No alignments. #2: Attribute point buy system from the DMG. #3: XP is awarded not by creature defeated, but by a flat rate with adjustments for extraordinary play judged by the DM.

Weapon Finess Choice If I was a swashbuckler who emphasized my wit (bluff, diplomacy, gather information) or missile weapons (daggers, crossbows, shuriken, etc.) over melee confrontation, then I would not take it. If I was a rogue swashbuckler ("what's a rogue swashbuckler?") who emphasized...

Hit dice I like the concept. The d8 per HD seems a little high. Bards can be expert dancers, but they don't get d8 HD. - Malimar

Power Attack Power Attack has the benefit of increased damage not only at the cost of a feat, but also the sacraficed loss in attack bonus. In Practiced Spellcaster the price of increased caster level is only offset by the purchase of the feat itself. If you were a multiclassed spellcaster...

I just fielded this question... This question just came up last week in my game. I had a new PC come in, Mystic Theurg with cleric and wizard (what a bookkeeping nightmare with prepared spells... I salute my player for tackling it). He wanted to use Practiced Spellcaster, but I nixed it. I...

"A plethora of paladins" Are you referring to the article in Dragon 106, "A Plethora of Paladins"? This was one of favorite articles. The writer has a website at: http://dndhero.dfxwebs.com/ The stats are in 1E, so you have to do a lot of modification, but the descriptions of different...

BBEG Strikes Back If a villian comes back after a defeat, I usually like to do something to change the stats a little - so the next encounter won't just be an exact rehash of the first encounter. Applying an undead template to the villian is usually a good way of doing it. Another thing I've...
