About the armor, it's a series of things I let the PCs do when they didn't have enough contacts to prevent backfires; as such, I'm planning on messing the armor up at some point. At the moment, the limitation I am imposing is that the armor can give out no more than two different commands...

You know, aside from having pulled that trick before (carefully balancing the guy's CL to not go 5 past the party HD, it made an awesome fight), do I really want the whole party to be paralyzed/dead with no save and no chance to fight back? I mean, I know it would be a hard fight, but they...

About his army: he lost all his previous undead when he died to the red dragon, and he has since brought up these dragons. With the Dread levels and an item which doubles his controlling capacity, he can currently control 192 HD of undead he creates with Animate Dead. Then there's the others he...

*cough* lots to reply to. I am not being too lenient with my players - as a matter of fact they've been a bit under the guidelines in the DMG for a couple levels. At level 11, when they did the spellstitching, everyone had about 60k to play with total. The Dread asked for loans reasoning that...

Not every encounter will feature a mid-level wizard though, I hope... This is exactly the kind of stuff I'm trying to avoid if I don't have the right reason to do it. The party spent the last eight levels or so doing stuff in the Big Capital City of the human nation, with the result that the...

The Dread let himself be Spellstitched and chose Teleport (among other neat stuff like Phantom Steed, Raise Dead, Revive Undead and Wall of Bones, which are all cast without material components). It took him 49k for the ritual plus 36k because he needed a +6 item of Wisdom, and got loans from...

Thank you all for the replies. Personally, I like the campaign and the character concepts a lot, so I do not want to force them to change what they made. It's their character and they probably like it that way, too; making them change would mean taking away interest in the game, and it would be...

Sorry but I don't have character sheets available online. My campaign is hosted on Obsidian Portal but it's all in my native language (italian) so it's unlikely anyone would understand much. About the Psion, he regularly overchannels to ML 15 for 15d6+15, uses schism to shoot another 13d6+13...

Hello ENWorld, I'm new to posting on these boards. I wanted your advice on this campaign I'm running. I'm a first time DM, and my group is full of skilled optimizers. The group is currently composed of a Necropolitan Dread Necromancer, a Dragonfire Adept, a Psion specializing in high-save...
