I'm in Arlington, just West of DC on the good side of the Potomac. ;) Though I coach crew during the Summer months, August is winding-down time, so my days are free. And I'm definitely up for a DC ENWorld BBQ, though my sad apartment can't host it.

He can, however, Suggestion over and over for as long as the fascinate ability runs, and at that point he can fascinate multiple people (2 at 6th, 3 at 7th). DMs may rule that a Suggestion may only be made once, but that is not a necessary reading of the rules. I think the Virtuoso levels...

Was there a general rule against magical compulsions? If there were, and you had been caught, you'd have been disqualified. If there wasn't... well, then the DM made one up on the spot. Consider this scenario: Your DM didn't want magical compulsions operating in the arena. But the bard's...

15d12 with greataxes, or 30d6 with greatswords. Or, I suppose, 30d4 with scythes... that'd be a horrific scene to watch, eh?

Telekinesis is the best sorcerer versus caster spell in the PHB. If you see a Mage about to do something naughty, Combat Maneuver (grapple) him: your caster level + casting stat versus his BAB and Str mod. So the best of yours versus the worst of his. He'll end up grappled and he can't do squat...

Explicitly? So his only motivation was to depose Palpatine and not, oh, I don't know... to save the life of his son? By turning Luke to the Dark side Vader can both save the life of his son and unite the factions of Empire and Rebellion to restore Order; this is something the Emperor cannot do...

Would someone with the book post the text of the feat?

Roll progressively harder Str checks to see how long his character can wall sit. Have his cleric character make perform (sing) checks while having been poisoned with alcohol at midnight in front of the nun's dormitory. Balance checks to avoid falling down after having been spun around in a...

The clarity is welcome.

"I just had the urge to say, 'Hopefully the others have an easier time than we have!'" Again, Belkar FTW! I love Rich's characters' awareness of narrative techniques.

I think your best bet is to remove Teleport and Greater Teleport from your game. Allow tactical teleportation with Dimension Door, and strategic teleportation with Teleportation Circle. That way the PCs can still get out of Dodge if they really need to, and they can travel from Kingdom to...

Were you responding to my post? Because having a save for half damage makes the spell less powerful; because it's less powerful it should be a higher level spell? What? :confused:

Negative Energy Ray Attack: Ranged touch Range: Close Damage: 1d6 + 1d6/2 levels, max 5d6 Save: Will half Special: heal undead Shocking Grasp Attack: Touch attack Range: Touch Damage: 1d6 + 1d6/level, max 5d6 Save: None Special: +3 to attack an enemy with metal armor. If the touch attack...

What do you mean, "melee reach is really strong"? Melee reach is close combat. The melee guys have to close the distance to have a shot at using the feat; and melee reach for a vast, vast amount of enemies is going to be 5'. That, and when I play an arcanist, the first thing I do is put myself...

It takes concentration to cast a spell, thus the skill. The Mage Slayer is adept at preventing casters from being able to concentrate, regardless of who the target of the spell is. IDHMBWM, so could you post the part of the feat that links your Sneak Attack denying feat to Mage Slayer? I...

Expert / Exemplar Indy's all about the skills. Throw in Exotic Weapon Prof: Whip and there you have it.

If you must: reverse them. Make Mage Slayer the Epic feat with the prereq of Spellcasting Harrier, which becomes non-Epic. But how is Mage Slayer such a broken feat when a 5' step defeats it in most circumstances?

Which oath is that? It was my impression that a Lawful Evil character would obey the letter of the law, regardless how much he departed from the spirit. Why would a lawful Evil character have to respect diplomatic traditions as long as he was technically within his remit? I think an open-ended...

The feat is fine. The guy still has to get within melee distance. And a 20th level caster that has allowed his enemies to close to melee with him should be ashamed of himself! :p

Edited to translate to a D&D world. Do you see any of these things really out of place in a Baatezu? Think of poor Levistus: he was imprisoned, without court-martial, for eons. Even when in charge of Stygia do you think he doesn't plot revenge against his jailor? And what of Geryon, the only...
