    Feats for level 6 human wild sorc?

    I'm converting my 6th level wizard to a wild sorcerer. I plan on a 20/14 int / dex build unless anyone thinks that would be retarded. Having the extra to hit is just too valuable imo, consistent hits seems more valuable than an extra point of damage. I don't really know what feats are best...

    using magic missle to disrupt a spell

    It's for sure possible, even better memorize a quickened magic missle as a 3rd level spell or even heighten it to up the spell level even further so that it can overcome a lesser globe. Then you can still fight and cast as normal and just have the quickened action ready for spellcasting.

    "protection"

    If it was a vest instead of a ring it would be a non standard item of it's type, and would therefore cost more to produce or buy than a ring. Per the SRD it's actually 50% more than a ring: Body Slot Affinities Each location on the body, or body slot, has one or more affinities: a word or...

    The Moods of D&D

    Music in the background bothers me in DND games, but I've never had anyone set up a bunch of stuff without lyrics in playlists before either. I'd say explain to your players and find out if they even are interested in it to begin with.

    Controlling undead

    The spell description implies that it can't be rebuked or turned or whatnot because it's not using it's normal behavior when you are controlling it with the spell: This spell enables you to command undead creatures for a short period of time. You command them by voice and they understand you...

    Magic Weapons - 2 specific questions

    I think the real answer is that you have 15th level characters and characters at that level have a high damage output. Imagine the damage output if none of them were melee characters with big magical weapons, and were instead a bunch of mages/druids/clerics casting 10 all day buffs per day etc...

    Question about the Warforged

    I think the problem is more the OP really. If the player is a jerk but the OP can't even tell him in a mature manner that he is being unfun and ruining the game for the rest of the players then that is his problem. It just overall sounds like the games we used to play when we were 13 in our...

    Forked Thread: Name exactly what 4E is "missing"

    I miss fast and cool combat. In 3.x as a DM I am able to goad the players along and make a combat be as fast or as slow as needed. That conjured creature taking too long? Well I'll help you get the stats and everything up and going and the combat will be ticking along quite quickly. As for the...

    D&D 3E/3.5 Worst 3.5 rule from core books?

    I think the epic spell rules are actually not broken at all. The final step for a given spell is getting DM approval, it's built into the process, which is actually more foresight than the authors usually show. And to actually contribute to the thread: I think that all of the cleric...

    D&D 3E/3.5 Worst 3.5 rule from core books?

    I think you could contribute almost the entire bank of 3rd levels spells required for casting. If you can substitute 4th and 5th level spells as well then if you had rings of wizardry for 3rd 4th and 5th you could just cast it alone. Especially once you had cast it a single time, subsiquient...

    14500 gp to spend

    I would totally get just items that made me better in melee as a cleric. So either gauntlets of ogre power or gloves of dexterity and then a +1 weapon of shock, flame, or frost. For the rest of the stuff +1 armor +1 shield and then a ring of protection and an amulet of natural armor. Left over...

    Limits to gaining stats from mericle wish and tomes?

    Problem is if you are good aligned you woulden't do what basically equates to slavery, and my guys int is low enough that he won't be able to do this in time anyway. I started with a random 4d6 stat allocation and only switch two stats. I wanted the characters to have some real flaws and not...

    Limits to gaining stats from mericle wish and tomes?

    Quite retarded, given that in a typical 4d6 spread your going to be lucky to get anything over a 14. I didn't want point buy in my game so made the players roll. It's proved interesting so far but with the ruling this way there is a good chance that they are going to hit 6th or 7th level spells...

    Limits to gaining stats from mericle wish and tomes?

    I would think if I wished for a stat increase I would get +1 and then if I wished again I'd get another stacking +1 etc.. But if I read a +1 tome and then read another one later will that one stack, or will the inherent bonus then only be overwritten by a better bonus tome? Also is the limit to...

    everyone in group taking 'leadership'?

    I think the only time I would consider the leadership feat overpowered would be in the case of an existing overpowered class like Druid, Wizard, or Cleric taking one to double existing firepower. Around 8th level especially I'd think there would be some problems because having cohorts capable of...
