I looked at the Aranea but I think that their benefits do not outweigh the cost IIRC. What I remember is: They can cast multiple spells per round, but only lower level spells. Their 3 sorc levels come from their racial HD, so then you have to add 4 on top of that I think to get their ECL...

I agree, but on this board you're not entitled to call other's opinions stupid.

I do prefer freeze frame combat and I don't appreciate you calling it a stupid concept. I guess I'm more likely Stanley from Erfworld than I thought... http://www.giantitp.com/comics/erf0029.html

With 900+k gold to spend it wouldn't hurt to take a few +50% item costs to get multiple abilities to one item slot. As long as your DM allows it, of course.

I think that the designers rethought healing item pricing due to the attractiveness of divine casters in 3.5 being much higher than in previous editions. My thoughts are maybe the healing items in the DMG were priced so high so that people would not be able to afford to not have a cleric in...

The DMG rules for generating magic items are IMHO fundamentally flawed due to what they are based off of, which are spells. Just as you have spells that are considered underpowered or must have, magic items which derive their abilities from these spells will have the same issues. I'm...

Well for power attacks with a bow you could always go for this: Ask Wizards: 12/27/2006

What's the GP limit? How many slaves will each aboleth be sporting and how strong are they? How well equipped are the PC's and what spells will they cast before the final round of fights?

See the spell Tongues for ideas. A tongues spell can be made permanent with a permanency spell. Or you could use it as the basis for an item that grants tongues.

I forgot about that because I'm not very familiar with psionics.

I think that it's crazy if you are using magic/psionics transparency to not have the same rules for dispelling, regardless of what the book says. A fifth level psion should not have the option to dispel at the level of a 15th level wizard.

What level is the party? If they are low level, they won't be able to death ward everyone for more than a few fights. That's when you use your non-vampiric minions with a vampire or two thrown in just to make sure they put up death ward. If they are high level, put them in an AMF and then...

It's possible that you're looking for the spell Planar Ally, which allows you to request a specific creature?

There's really no rules distinction between 1 and 2 handed weapons. Size determines how many hands you need to wield a weapon. For example, I believe one of the book's examples would be a small halfling paladin could wield a normal longsword as if it were a small greatsword. For meduim...

Can you CDG a pinned opponent? Someone in the thread said you could but the wording on pin says you're not helpless. Also, when pinned does your effective dex drop to 0, thus granting a -5 to AC (assuming dex 10+)?

The person in question who was running Iron Seige (if I remember correctly) was fudging things to make the characters fail. He also severely limited the amount of cheese by the baseline rules imposed on the players, and each PC was somewhat at a disadvantage against Dispater himself due to due...

I think some of this scaling it to take into account synergistic powers and scaling of certain powers: If I have a warlord with commander's strike the bonus to hit at level 30 could easily be double what it was at level 1. Also, there are other defenses besides AC, almost every class gets one...

I'm worried about your mobility. Even with a flying mount you'll still need a way to overcome invisibility and possibly etherealness. If you enter a frenzy due to damage taken before you're ready, you're pretty much stuck: "While frenzied, the character cannot use skills or abilities that...

This seems like a poorly thought out spell...

Maybe a quest where he has to get his soul and purify it by carrying it around and do good deeds? Or instead he could sacrifice other souls to whomever rules the undead in exchange for his soul back.
