    Wimp, Munchkin, or Ok? Azrael

    That is feat, though I do not have any of the save or die spells. It only works with touch spells, so no finger of death, though harm does work! Nasty. As to when it works - I think when you cast and touch, you get a full rounds attacks. Thanee - the column width is formatted to make the...

    Wimp, Munchkin, or Ok? Azrael

    He's 7th, not 8th, but my gut agrees with yours. He lacks the 'boom' of a 7th level wizard, his best blast is 5d4 force damage and possible knockdown in an area matching a lightning bolts path. So, per my gut assessment, he fails to fill the grunt and blaster role, but acts as support very...

    Wimp, Munchkin, or Ok? Azrael

    Is this PC too wimpy, powerful, or what. If he's too wimpy, any suggestions as to what he needs/alter? If he's too powerful, why? Note, the stats are per the campaign, 80 points, divide as you like. Ok - he's a domain wizard, not a specialist. Why: history-wise, he was studying at a college...

    Elephants- costs

    Footprints in the jello My game has them priced at 2500 - but part of that is they are not a 'local product'. The cost of shipping an elephant is rather high, as is the care and feeding of them. A region with native elephants would charge much less, say the earlier suggested 500 gp. I'd...

    Templates for my summon natures ally

    Well, this feat only aids summon x critter spells (which is why it becomes the new pre-req for augment summons, it is more related) - is useful at any level, does not raise the spell level, and the decision is made at need. Is combat going longer then intended, burn a 3rd level spell to add 9 R...

    Druid domains

    Culled from the SRD located at http://www.d20srd.org/srd/variant/classes/classFeatureVariants.htm#houseRuleDruidDomains House Rule: Druid Domains With this option, each druid may choose a single domain from the following list: Air, Animal, Earth, Fire, Plant, Sun, and Water. The druid gains a...

    Templates for my summon natures ally

    A bit of an aside - I dispise the requirment for Augment summons, Spell Focus Conjuration. Very few conjuration spells require a save, making this a near pointless feat... Wizardly conjuration spells that require a save (from core) Cloudkill Glitterdust Greater Planar Binding...

    Templates for my summon natures ally

    Perhaps I missed something, but it seems to me an overwhelmingly powerful boost! It doesn't increase level nor casting time, improves stats, natural armor, grants DR, fast healing, and spell abilities - far outshining anything gained by fiendish/celestial for the wizard. Did I overestimate the...

    Templates for my summon natures ally

    This is an interesting thought however, kinda like metamagic for summoning. Thematically the templates should be ones that tie the summoned being more closely with the natural world as opposed to a dream world.. IMO, more solid/real Ah, The Dreaming refers to a tie to the fey/unseelie world...

    Templates for my summon natures ally

    Oh - thought I'd mention an alternative I'd already thought of, the feat: The Dreaming Creatures summoned by summon natures ally gain the natural ability Blur, which acts as per the spell of the same name (a 20% miss chance when struck). Well, what do you think? I'm hoping that the consensus...

    Templates for my summon natures ally

    There is a new feat in a FR book, Greenbond, I think, that allows summon natures ally to apply the template, Greenbond, to the summoned creature. This is a great concept, but the template is immensely overpowered (grants 1/day wall of thorns, bonus stats, fast healing, and DR). I’m looking for...

    Help me build this character

    Ok – I’m looking for feedback for my next character. I’m planning on playing a Halfling named Pembriel, and I’ve got a good bit of his concept already nailed down, but I still need help with the class & feat mix. Note – I’ve made 3 different versions of him, played a few games with him, but...

    A little help with the cost of a MG item

    My wife is DMing me (Yea-ha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) Now, I have many more years experience then she - and she asks my opinion on matters, which has led me to feel potentially guilty. You see, I started off with a 3rd lv character and asked for a magic item that cast a 1st level...

    do you allow flaws?

    My comment was tongue in cheek - though it still stands as a concept. Having a severely shy character struggle to interact during a ball the group attends to find a spy - sure, I'd give the xp for the shy effect penalizing his efforts. A pc with personality disorders/weaknesses are easily...

    Tactics - how would you represent this

    Do you substitute a tactics check to spot/listen and hide/move silent in those circumstances? B:]B

    do you allow flaws?

    The game is bound by min/max issues - choice of race (look at the optimization boards), class mixes served like matinees (splash of this, dash of that, then run through these 4 prestige classes....), and even dump stats. Choice of feats allow for this as well - some chains are deadly, while a...

    Tactics - how would you represent this

    I've got a war mage who spent skill points on a skill, tactics. There is no skill currently that duplicates what I'm looking for - training in military tactics. Any suggestions, current rules, or ideas? Currently, they are just a waste of skill points on my sheet, which is ok, but I'm...

    Soulfire Weapons

    Add - gain 1/4 of the damage done, though no more then 3 hp. Also, it must be real/lethal damage (no soulfire whip, nor striking an ally w regeneration). Oh, and 1 gratuitous death threat. B:]B

    do you allow flaws?

    I had a PC who was plagued by carrion birds, couldn't stand to be touched - reacting either with panic or homicidal rage when suprised (imagine how well my strangling a child pickpocket went with the group), and was afraid of holy men. With a warped body and overlong limbs, he was a blast to...
