The question is (to put it in World of Warcraft terms), after you get that debuff of an ongoing spell to hit them, is it another attack and needs a new miss chance, or is the spell + ongoing part of the same effect? I lean towards if it's alwready effecting them, and not an external effect...

Erase, preferably in a wand..a level 1 wand.. and a stack of scrolls with Explosive Runes cast on them. Friendly cleric puts Spell Immunity on you, and you make force bombs go off. Good for a Rogue with UMD and Evasion, that works too.

He could pretend to be a minion, and fall down after one hit, then get back up and do something destructive. Then, the party finds out that that was a fake BBEG, and he's actually over there, where the fireball is now inbound from...

Ice Pirates :D

Just scratch out 'rapier' and pencil in 'sabre' and switch it to slashing. problem solved.

As soon as someone mentions statues in a room, the party begins surrounding it/them, because they know that they are going to come to life and attack. No spot checks or knowledge checks are ever rolled. My Iron Heroes party was carefully picking their way through a room full of statues...

We were playing Tunnels & Trolls, for a change of pace. Which actually kind of sucks, because the combats are too simple and the traps are even more numerous and complex than D&D's traps. :erm: We were in an obviously-trapped room, and found a pressure plate, and the other players took well...

in one game, before i started gaming with the group, they had fought a lich several times, but couldn't find his phylactery. The first time I fought him, there were 2 samurai vampire guys, heavily armored and sporting devastating critical (bastard sword), among others. Try some sort of...

it wasn't weak compared to a regular bard. :p though, our cleric is 9th level now, with a BAB of +3. :erm: guess i can't get too much worse than that, no matter what i use.

well there's your problem. ;) locking down anything they try > doing damage. doing damage is what the minions are for. :) soften them up a little, then go "oh, by the way: eat some arcane fire bwahahaha!" given that you wanted to stay within stereotype, there should be a combat machine...

1. The slots for High Arcana are permanently sacrificed, so they don't count for anything, and the doubling comes after they are gone. 2. Untyped magical damage. It is a 'bolt of raw magical energy' 2a. it also isn't a very good use of a spell slot. max of 14d6 ranged touch, for effectively...

Such as, say, those people playing World of Warcraft, who kill things and take their stuff, or someone playing Halo, who kills things and sometimes take their stuff, or stuff floating around in random places? Fantasy slaughter isn't a taboo, it's a marketing ploy. ;) My evil characters blend...

Depends on what type of illusion it is. Figments and Glamers do no damage. Phantasms do real damage if the target believes it is real. Shadow illusions do real damage, even if revealed as not entirely real, they just do less than full damage if disbelieved. Figment creatures should be able to...

Seems decent, but not quite what I was looking for. That looks like a good candidate for an E6 or E8 conversion.

Duelist, as in DMG Duelist? That one sucks. They have to wait until 7th class level to be almost as effective at defending themselves as a 1st class level of anything else with light armor proficiency and 5000gp. :hmm: Also, my current DM doesn't allow fractional BAB and saves, so any cleric...
