If by "items" you include that to mean spells? Deal. Wizards don't create spells. They simply learn them from someone else. So let's limit Wizards to spell they actually created...and they are powerless. The assumption for the duel is you get access to everything allowed by RAW. For non...

Close, but slightly off. A better description is that there are multiple Spell compinations that can deal with any situation. So the argument is that we'll simply assume (no matter how irrational this assumption is) that the Wizard or Sorc in your campaign will have access to those spell...

There is no "vetoing" of spells. The spell exists, it may even be used against you. But the people who know the spell have gone to great lengths to keep its information preserved to few select individuals...and you aren't one of them. You might be able to do something to get access to the...

IF the basis on how we evaluate a monk is based on this bogus Tier system, then it's relevant. I didn't introduce the Tier system, someone else did. No, the analogy with the bomb isn't flat wrong because we're only ranking things on one level ability to do damage. A semi filled with Nukes does...

Casters have only one method for breaking the game...magic, specifically spells. Anti-magic fields or whatever those wild magic bubbles are in the FR, are a helluva nerf. Control what spells are accessible and you limit their flexibility. As I said, given JKaron's assumptions, his logic...

And you think it makes sense that character who has never put a rank in Swim...has never swam in any adventure, has spent his whole life in the desert, by his own discription...is going to spontaneously learn how to swim? Hurray for player fiat.

No, it doesn't. But if that's your way to "win" the argument, more power to you. A house rule, by definition, is one that deviates from RAW. If RAW does not expressely forbid something, then doing it is not house ruling. Show me a single sentence anywhere in any of the books that require...

When talking about weapons...they only have one metric...destruction. How they deliver that destruction is irrelevant to ranking weapons on destructive power. But you're missing the point. The fact that a semi could do more destruction than an assault rifle would lead one to the conclusion...

And is there somwhere in the RAW that says you have to play with the Spell Compendium? As stated, consider the DM creates the entire fictional world, I see no deviation from RAW to tell a player, "you are not able to find any information on how to cast X spell." i Speaking of which, what do...

You'll need to show me that in Raw. I did find this on page 6 of the DMG: Choose the rule that you like the best, then stick with it for the rest of the campaign. Consistency is a critical aspect of rules adjudication. That suggests that choosing the "rule" the DM like best allows the DM...

Greenfield, based on your quotes in the above post, I believe you have some reading comprehension issues. I don't mean this to be rude or snarky, but just an observation. Your choice of quotes to make a point fails to consider what was being responded to. For like the umpteenth time, you...

I read JKaron's schpiel about the Tiers. Apart from things like Factotoms and their ability to take extra actions, most of the Tier rankings are based on spell casting. There are some major problems with what JKaron presents and on many levels it amounts to disinformation. First off, let me...

Where does the RAW say the Wizard chooses from any spell published by WotC? Here's what I found... PHB p 57 At each new wizard level, she gains two new spells of any spell level or levels that she can cast (based on her new wizard level) for her spellbook. I don't see anything that says...

That still leaves plenty of room to say "her choice" is limited to spells that are available to her...which the DM controls. There is nothing in the RAW that says she gets to actually choose from the list of spells in the all the books there are containing spells. Yes, you could read it that...

A question I have for the DM's regarding Wizard/Sorc power at high levels. I am not seeing anything in d20 SRD that says Wizards get to choose which new spells they get..or what spells are available. Quoting SRD I've read Jkaron's Tier system and in all the examples, he acts as if Wizards...

Making statements that my posts arn't coherent and then adding a "have a nice day" on the end of it is decidedly asinine. Not to mention using colorful phrases like "throw a tantrum" when nothing is further from the truth. You're just wrong about your assertions..nothing more nothing less. I've...

If you've been feigning stupidity with statements like this...then you got me.

On page 4 I said this: On page 5 I said this... and this.. On Page 6 I said this: and then this... On page 7, I wrote this: and this... So Green, I really don't know what's wrong with your reading comprehension skills, but maybe when you get some, you might come back to...

I know...I know... <queue line from The Godfather>

Ironic statement considering 90% of the posts on these forums and other RPG forums are about the mechanics of the game. I have never participated nor have I read any threads about how to act like a Tiefling or a Drow. I've seen tons of threads on how to optimize builds and how to interpret...
