    Item creation, XP costs, and level loss

    irdeggman: Well, that makes it clear, thanks for that. Herzog. A succesfull saving-throw only halfs the XP loss. Beside this, you loose the XP for a dead familiar as well (guess you don't speak there about voluntarily). So that's an "option" to loose a level.

    Item creation, XP costs, and level loss

    Sorry for bumping, but I stumbled over this by a search. I thought about the Permanency-Spell and it's XP-loss and if you loose a level. According to PH174 you can not loose a level and need high enough XP. The discussion that followed here sounded like that no XP loss can ever cause a level...

    Funniest thing a players character ever did?

So we decided to move back a bit and let the rogue pick the lock alone. The rogue picked it, opened it silently! and slipped into the door (silently again!). Since he...

    Feat - Alacritous Cogitation

    Hi folks, 1.) thanks for the answers! 2.) @ Runestar: thx for your Pi x Thumb rule, sounds somehow logical and I agree, I don't see it game-breaking as well - it's a feat you have to spend for it! @Herzog: You my hero, the google cache tip was worth gold! Why I would take it twice? Well, I...

    Feat - Alacritous Cogitation

    Hello community, I have a question regarding the Feat Alacritous Cogitation from Complete Mage, p37. If you leave an arcane spell slot open when preparing spells, you can use that open slot to cast any arcane spell you know of the same level or lower. ... You can use this feat only once per...
