    Animated Shields

    Personally, I just hate them. You get no penalties for having a huge piece of metal floating in front of your face?

    Permanency: Enlarge

    For a fighter-type PC, do the pros of Permanency: Enlarge Person, outweight the cons? Here are the links: http://www.d20srd.org/srd/spells/permanency.htm http://www.d20srd.org/srd/spells/enlargePerson.htm Thanks for the help! -Krel

    There HAS to be a way to build a drow mage...there has to be.

    Yes, it's still too overpowered. May I suggest removing the +2 on saves? Or a -2 on Strength or Charisma? And also, the light sensitivity is going to hurt you. I would get rid of that.

    Incorpreal Creatures and Senses

    From the SRD, in regards to incorpreal creatures: Nonvisual senses, such as scent and blindsight, are either ineffective or only partly effective with regard to incorporeal creatures. 1. Which is it? When is it ineffective and when is it partly effective? 2. What is partly effective? Thanks...

    HP vs. AC

    Agreed. I only use core rules, so basically, the tradeoff for me right now is between having an amulet of natural armor or having an amulet of health.

    Charge feats?

    Leap Attack works excellent as well.

    Defeating a Balor

    The only problem I have with this is that the Balor can just simply teleport right up to the spellcasters, and they will be so far away that the other PCs won't be able to reach them for several rounds...

    HP vs. AC

    So, would consider having 210 HP and a 33 AC better than having 180 HP and a 36 AC at 15th level?

    SmokeSticks

    Interesting ideas? Throw smokesticks while inside a creature. Don't no how that would work, though. Sounds fun.

    Defeating a Balor

    Yeah, sorry, Balor. Hehe...too much LOTR lately.

    HP vs. AC

    1. Which is better at higher levels (15+)? Or do they even out? 2. If you chose one, at what level does the above answer become better? FYI, I play a barbarian. Thanks for the help! -Krel

    Defeating a Balor

    What are some tips you would have for defeating a balor? 1. Items 2. Spells 3. Tactics 4. Etc. The party consists of five 15th level characters: a wizard, a barbarian, a fighter, a cleric, and a rogue. Thanks for your help! -Krel

    Gaming with the kids ...

    I find this a bit scary. Maybe its just the word "convert"... I think it's nice to introduce your family members into D&D, as long as no one is pressing a relative to do so.

    Strength Domain Power: Any way to make it better?

    I think its a fine ability. What if you are trying to get out of a grapple? Or you are buried because of an earthquake spell? Or, as you said, if you need to break down a door? Or deal more damage? I think its quite useful.

    Cookie Cutter Melee "Beat Stick" Builds

    If you get Power Attack, Leap Attack, Combat Brute, and Shock Trooper...that is some serious power attack damage. Grab a two-handed weapon (I like the greatsword or the falchion), get Improved Critical, all the weapon focuses, and you should be good to go. That is, of course, if you have...
