Why, if he is so much trouble? You've told us all about his shortcomings; what are his virtues? What *have* you done? Have you talked to him? If you haven't, then there's your start.

This is the real benefit of Master of the Unseen Hand. That and the 2nd level ability to Concentrate with a move action. The first two levels do have some use.

I object to a player and DM talking about player #2 and kicking him out without talking to player #2. Which is exactly what you suggested when you told him to kick him out. I suggest the OP ask himself questions that he may not have thought of. Do you think he should put so little thought into...

Heh. This reminds me of my fiddle lessons. I had the tip of my left middle finger cut off about 7 years ago, and it made it hard to reach the G string; I mentioned this one time, and my instructor's response was brilliant: Oh, is it hard? Nobody cares; they only care about the music. Play it...

Aside from the administrative tasks that should keep a president busy, there's another answer. Presidents and heads of organizations should spend quite a bit of their talent on leadership and diplomacy skills. They're good at climbing organizational ladders, not necessarily battlefield tactics...

It depends upon how important the PCs are. A 13th level party might receive this kind of treatment, but at 4th level they should be quite a bit more expendable. It's also micromanagement, which can be annoying as hell, fantasy boss or not. I'd advise that the PCs be given a handler; someone who...

I quite agree, but advising notjer to summarily "kick the guy out" isn't the way to address it. Which is why notjer should pull the ruleslawyer aside and talk to him about their concerns, instead of talking behind his back and summarily kicking him out. Absolutely. Which is why notjer should...

Oh, I think the PrC is great for Vrocks, Slaads and Ghosts, who have the TK spell-like ability. But for PCs who aren't those races? As written it rates a solid "Meh".

Visions of Castlevania appear in my mind... I like rolling d4s! Casting a Magic Missile at 9th+ level is so very satisfying. Squinting to add them up is something else entirely...

"Get naked and sing." Sounds fine to me. Don't know what the RP effects would be, though. :)

AD&D 2nd edition elf thief/wizard. Sneaky with spells. He didn't last too long (the high school upperclassman who was DMing us graduated), but there have been plenty of characters who have followed his mold. I just can't do without skills.

Understandably; it's part of the DM's job to fudge dice rolls now and then to tip the scales one way or the other. But doing it too often, and especially doing it by using an NPC to do something that the PCs can't, is a sign of a clumsy DM. You say: however if he just knew the DM better, then he...

This is extraordinarily lame. Instead of being able to rebuke or control the enemy undead that are coming to attack them, Evil clerics now are able to... wait for it... heal the enemy undead that are coming to attack them. That was the draw of being an Evil cleric (or the trouble if you were...

He also sounds like a guy frustrated with a DM who uses his DMPC as a deus ex machina whenever the PCs are in trouble. That is an incredibly annoying habit for DMs to fall into, and if that is indeed what the DM is doing, then I feel bad for the "ruleslawyer" as well. If you consider that, then...

There's Old Ebbet's Grill if you want to do the Capitol Hill thing. Good selection of whisky.

This should definitely be on there somewhere: Stench (Ex): When a Wedge of Fury is uncovered, it emanates an oily, musk-like chemical that nearly every form of animal life finds offensive. All living creatures (except troglodytes) within 30 feet of a Wedge of Fury must succeed on a DC 17...

I always thought that the MotUH was a bit lame since you have to take at least 9 levels of caster before you can enter, and when you take levels of the class you don't increase the number of times per day you can cast TK. I'd scale the BAB back and throw in at least two +1 effective caster...

If you're into the alternative scene, Dr. Dremos in Clarendon across the river in VA has a great selection: live bands, pool, foozball, a lounge atmosphere, 40 beers on tap and three beer pong tables. And it's strategically placed for a pub crawl, as there are tons of bars within a few blocks on...

I'd be interested in the 8-12 as well, so count me in to that one.

It's mutual restraint not to be equaled in the game. With this a 10th level sorcerer would have a reasonable chance of completely neutralizing a 20th level caster. This one spell outperforms the entire mechanic of counterspelling, and as long as you're worried more about the damage the single...
