    New Server Drive - donation and prize thread (Final total: $13,310!)

    Me too. That said, a humongous round of applause for LE and a raised glass. I was overwelmed when I checked my email. At first, since it was 6 emails with the same sender name, I thought it was spam :p. But it took only a second to realize that christmas came early for me this year ! :D You...

    Magic Shield Construction: animated buzz saw

    In short, you can create any magic item you want. I do. Don't worry too much about using existing mechanics to create your concept. Just determine what the item does. NOW... Once your item's properties are determined, compare it to already existing items, and estimate it's power in relation...

    The offical ENWorld The Return of the King Extendend Edtion DVD reaction thread.

    B.I.N.G.O. I have met more than one person who has no clue about the books and told me that Fellowship (the movie) was long and boring. And you want the movies to be even more like the books ? The movie would have failed, and that would have diminished PJ's career and credibility...

    Spell Penetration is kinda bla

    Indeed... Before overland flight, casting fly is an action waster. I feel that the ultimate arcanist is one that can be on the offensive from round one. So... overland flight for wizard (before that, barring specific magic items, he's SOL), and Draconic Flight for sorceror.

    No Homosexuality in my Campaign?

    That is a very good point. To return to my example, my previous bisexual character was quite manly and heroic. I was actually the leader of our group (it just happened that way). I didn't play him like a flaming caricature. That would have been an offense to homosexuals in general, and to my...

    No Homosexuality in my Campaign?

    My previous sorceror (R.I.P.) was bisexual, and would hit on anything with a charisma of 14 or higher. The DM and players gave me a weird look when I introduced the character, but they had a blast with the roleplaying situations that were created, and I never pushed the envelope to actual sexual...

    D&D 3E/3.5 3.5 Sorcerer Nerf?

    Well, if you find a DM mean enough to not let you use it as 3.0, you can point out to him that in 3.0 it stated it like that, and since they don't say they can't do it in 3.5, one can assume that it didn't change, ESPECIALLY since it is written, black and white, in the 3.5 PH (no matter WHERE it...

    D&D 3E/3.5 3.5 Sorcerer Nerf?

    I'll grant you all that Dr., and I agree. Still, it's a foergone conclusion that all spellcasters can do it, as it is written in the PHB (granted, in the divine spells sections). There's stuff in the books that is much more questionable than this. In comparison, this one is pretty obvious.

    D&D 3E/3.5 3.5 Sorcerer Nerf?

    So ? Do what you want, but I'm telling you, they can. All spellcasters can. Forget the SRD, it's in the PHB. Under arcanists and divines. They might not have listed every spellcasting class by name, but it's there. I don't get you. Your original post seems to complain that sorcerors can't do...

    D&D 3E/3.5 3.5 Sorcerer Nerf?

    Although it IS in the divine section, reread the phrase: A spellcaster. Last I looked, a sorceror is a spellcaster.

    Spell Penetration is kinda bla

    Well, I agree with Thanee, but in any case, relying on spells for SR above 12th level is unreliable. Eventually you run out of 4th level slots but the SR critters keep on coming. The best thing is to go for both: Spell Penetration (with Greater), and Assay Resistance for the odd very high SR...

    D&D 3E/3.5 3.5 Sorcerer Nerf?

    Took me a little while, but I found it, for both arcanists and divines: For arcanes (PHB p.178): For divines (PHB p.180):

    Spell Penetration is kinda bla

    The most precious comodity in D&D is actions, and Assay Resistance is a swift action. Nothing beats that. No save, no spell res. I guess I'm just a control freak. :D

    Spell Penetration is kinda bla

    The best feats for any given character are often the ones he will use the most often. For a sorceror for example these could be Improved Init, Spell Penetration (starting at around 12th level), Greater Spell Penetration, Empower (especially in conjunction with the following spells: ray of...

    So at what intelligence am I allowed to use tactics?

    For an Int 10 or more fighter, you would allow the player to use whatever tactics he comes up with. If he has 9 or lower Int, you could ask him for a DC 10 Int check occasionally whenever you feel his character might not have come up with the proposed tactic. It is a non-issue IMC, because my...

    Power and Point Buy

    I have never given more than 32 point buy, but from time to time I create games where I let the players roll 5d6, reroll all 1's, and that's probably in the 40 to 50 point buy equivalent... I don't have a problem with it, it doesn't really make it hard to challenge the players. As for the...

    Complete Adventurer Core Classes

    Although like you I'm sick of the name "Ninja", the class concept is ideal for D&D. The shadow assassin. I will call him a Shadow Assassin IMC and use it in a western medieval standard setting. Easy enough. A secret society of silent killers... ... that I will teach my players to fear IMC. :D...
