    Best PC & NPC Generators?

    But keep in mind that it uses VBA and thus wont run without any further doing under Mac (including MS-Office for Mac!). Aside from this, I use HF, too, since my Dm recommended it to me. Fast & easy.

    First time caster advice

    Yep, then you should start of with wizard levels and then go over to fighter (what else - this is the true elven style :) ) and finally to EK. If you want to take some levels in PrC's later on which dont have any spellprogression (yep, progression, not just bonus spells like the DD) then you...

    First time caster advice

    I think you set up your stats the right way. Personally I'd dump Cha totally, leaving it at 8. You can use those two points better elsewhere. Main stats should be Int and Dex for a melee oriented caster (or Dex and Int for a casting oriented fighter, respectively). Maybe you could also drop...

    Crit hit with stored spell in wpn

    Now, THAT is a reference which is as clear as glass. Thanks, risner! I wonder how I managed not to stumble across this article when searching the website o_O Anyway, my dm houseruled yesterdays evening that stored spell crit when the weapon crits. So I'm both happy with finding the "right"...

    Crit hit with stored spell in wpn

    Thanks for your reference. Altough In my oponion this rule applies to damage dice which are part of the weapons ability or the specific attack which damage is dealt by (as given by the examples: sneak attack / flaming sword). Now, tha ability "Spell Storing" does not do damage by itsel...

    9th level (ECL) Human Half-Fiend Character

    Any reasons why you did not chose a ring of deflection +2? Gives you a deflection bonus (which also applies to touch and flatfooted AC) instead of a shield bonus and costs round about the same.

    First time caster advice

    Sorry for the late answer, haven't been here for a while. For a really good guide on gishs just type "gish builds" in google and look for a link to the wizards forums. With quite a lot of the builds presented there you will hit 5th level spellcasting. Elso do what I have done: rework a class...

    Bell Spells, Would they Float?

    Reducing ASF... Well, I'd aim for a mithral Full Plate (35%-10%=25% ASF; mithral of anything that works just like it, like glassteel and the like), enchant it with the "twilight" special ability (reduces the ASF by another 10%) and add a level of SpellSword (CW) for another 10% reduce of ASF...

    Crit hit with stored spell in wpn

    Thanks for your answer, even though I think this was pointed out somewhere inthis thread already. The only thing missing is some quote for reference, IIRC Your houseruling, Ydars, sounds interesting. I think I'll present this to my DM after some argument-finding by myself. Btw, just as a small...

    First time caster advice

    Short answer: I’d recommend wizard (for his great versatility), even if not multiclassed Sorcerer is more the artillery (more spells) but is no real “allrounder”.. Long answer: Well, personally I’d recommend a gish – a fighter/caster mix – to ye. I myself play one (elven...

    Crit hit with stored spell in wpn

    Thanks for pointing that out again. I'll go with Combust from the SC. That spell shoul be valid and does work even better (in the short run)

    Found that. Thanks for the reference. And thanks for the help, too :)

    Crit hit with stored spell in wpn

    That's exactly the core of the question. Paraphrased: Does the weapon attack roll ALSO automatically count for the spell attack roll? As written in the description of the weapon ability "Spell Storing" one can choose to re-cast the spell on hit. I understand this as a complete recast of the...

    Crit hit with stored spell in wpn

    Hey folks. Yesterday i wondered if spells stored in a "Weapon of Spell Storing" also land a critical hit when the weapon does. So, assume your Gish has a longsword of Spell Storing and casts a scorching ray in it. In combat against the BBEG he lands a crit hit with the rolls 20 / 19. Now, the...

    Daylight vs. Deeper Darkness - Dispel

    Hey Folks :) Right atm we're having an argument in our group on the following: Do opposing spells dispel each other _without a dispel check_? So, for example, daylight says: Detailed situation: Right now we're crawling around in a dungeon filles with deeper darkenss at some locations. Now...
