Haha! That was awsome. Mind if I borrow that?

Actually, the bebelith is exactly what I was thinking about, but decided not to go into excessive detail. Yes, it is called something different: Armor Damage (Ex) or something, but I chose to use the word sunder - the literal definition, not the D&D one. I'm sure if I had said "rend" someone...

Assuming no AOO, you make a touch attack to initiate the grapple and then roll a grapple check? If this is accurate then there are 2 rolls with 2 different mechanics and some bonuses would apply independently. ... else, I'm confused, which is entirely possible. :uhoh:

I had a sorc in my old campaign who used fleshsiver constantly. I'm just glad that as a sorc he couldn't quicken spell, so at least there was a minimal amount of blance: in order to lock down the BBEG it kept his turns used-up recasting it. That spell needed fixing badly. My DM insisted the...

Isn't there a feat (epic? maybe) that icreases the crit multiplier? If not, there should be one. :D

According to the DMG 3.5 errata (info located at the front of the magic items section), when creating a magic item, the caster level is set by the creator at the time of creation. That is why you have wands at CL 1. Note that a wand cannot be set below a CL that would not be able to cast the...

ROFL There are lots of simple creatures that I feel are very powerful vs. the typical party that incounters them. 1st-2nd level parties hate: Wights - level drains when you are 1st level are the suck Vampire spawns - same as above + charm + CON drain~ I won't even bother stating the obvious...

Yep, you'd have yourself a +1 armor for all intents and purposes. Also remember, only the enhancement bonuses make it harder to sunder. +2 hardness, +10 HPs per enhancment bonus So having a +1 item with lots of gimicks isn't always the best idea (at least if you are fighting creatures who can...

I would sneak in a several extra 6's if I were the DM. :p But I do agree with one point that the OP made, if your DM begins a high level campaign and says, "build a level 20 character and use the standard wealth for that level, don't spend over 1/2 on a single item, etc etc." Nothing says...

I really don't mean to hijack a thread, but the OP's concern brings up another good question: would detect evil notice anything about a neutral cleric who has Deathwatch going as a buff? I guess I'm just not sure if the [evil] descriptor for spells is residual after the casting, or only during...

My cleric's holy symbol is part of his shield as well, but I always thought it was for decorations! You mean I don't have to present my "actual" holy symbol that I wear around my neck if I have one attached/etched/painted onto the front of my shield and present it at the time of casting/turning??

I agree with what I'm interpretting shilsen to say, Deathwatch should also be a benign spell much like False Life is. We 0 rule this one in all my games. :D

It takes some hardcore determination to sap a troll to death! ;)

Umm.. it wipes you with its mind? I give up. :D I always thought they were called mind flayers because they flayed your mind, literally.. with tentacles and such... after they used their non-mind-affecting mind blast on you (and your mind).

Yep, Archmage is in the DMG 3.5 ed.
