Disclaimer - It's been a couple of years since I ran it, I don't have the books, and I've lost my notes, so I may remember things incorrectly (especially where I changed things), or mix up which bits were the module and which bits I made up. Did you get all three, or just The Longest Night...

So, I played a wizard using one of the reserve feats last night, and I'm still undecided as to whether the feat is too powerful or not. I don't have Complete Mage with me at the moment - feel free to correct me if I've mis-remembered the mechanics. The feat in question was Invisible Needle...

Heh - I bet they hear that one so often they all hate that joke... It's amazing what even 4 hours sleep will do. 6 caster levels out of 10 is clearly wrong - it should be 5. It seems my version of the EK is very similar to the Spellsword. I'll probably continue to try and work this one out...

Thanks for the feedback. Anything in particular about the Melee Arcana? Or suggestions? And in which book would I find the Spellsword?

I've got to confess, this looks really cheesy on paper. But I think it might work out ok. Firstly, why am I bothering to re-write the EK? Mainly because the current version doesn't really fit what comes into my mind when I think of what might be an "Eldritch Knight". Basically what I want is...

Hi, I was reading the thread on EK strategies in the Rules forum, and I came up with an idea for an alternate EK. I'll post the stats here and add my reason and thoughts on it below. I'd appreciate any comments, advice, or insight you guys might have on it. Alignment: Any Hit dice: d8...

Melbourne checking in again. Playing / running in the Freeport, Iron Kingdoms.

I voted Point Blank Shot Pointless Blank Shot, more like. "Gateway" feat my Aunt Fanny. I got your "gateway" right here... ... wait, that didn't come out right.

You'd think so wouldn't you. I know I did. Somewhere in one of the core rulebooks, mention is made of other possible uses for turning undead / channeling positive energy[1]. One of them is opening doors specially keyed for this. I'm not sure what it is, but every time this has come up in any...

ENLARGE SPELL Partly because it's one of the more useless metamagic feats, but also because it looks too much like the junk I get in my email. "Hey Y0U!1! 1mpress y0ur sukcubus1!!!" Mmmmm - wizard spam. Beware of strange spells you don't recognise in your spell book, and don't open any...

My vote is for.... SHOT ON THE RUN Why you would buy a feat just so you can get shot at while running?

Hi. First post and all that. Apologies if this has been discussed before - I couldn't find anything directly related on these boards. I was think about a campaign / world idea, and as a sort of mental side track had a proper look at the Shadow Foo family of spells. I couldn't help thinking...
