The recursion of topics of contention is representative of new players entering the game. That is nothing but good :D

Maybe I should have stated it differently. Magic Missile requires no attack, has an enormous range, scales with level, can select from any number of targets up to its missile total including the application of several missiles to one target and one missile to another, and does force damage...

I have no impression whatsoever. Your previous posts made no mention of how the companion was treated. I merely pointed out some of the possible reasons that a companion might be better than it should be. Nor has anyone else mentioned the non-mechanical aspects of the companion, therefore my...

No doubt. Note that the Handle Animal skill doesn't allow communications beyond an animals normal means. Thus the druid cannot say "Spaz, rip that mage a new orifice!". He has to gesture, in an unmistakable manner, at the intended target. Waving vaguely in the direction of the enemy and telling...

Magic Missile has to target creatures. If at any point in the spell's casting that is not the case the spell fails. The images are not creatures. Besides, a first level already-broken spell should not be able to so easily undo a decent 2nd level spell.

I am very careful to follow the encumbrance rules as a player. As a DM, I do not make habit of questioning but I do ask for sheets now and then at random times. If I notice someone is being stupid (I once caught someone carrying 40, that is 40 with a zero, shortbows and no bags at all!) I wait...

LOL! THAT is funny.

It is not a matter of pushing the aspect. I myself love druids and I really enjoy the companion aspect. However, the animal is NOT the druid. If you (or your DM) is allowing that sort of scenario then it is no wonder that you find the companion over-wrought. There are no points that I can make...

I agree with the two assessments from both posters, but let me point out a few things. 1) I think that in order for a companion to attack a certain creature then the druid must be right there to gesture at it without the potential for error. An animal is still an animal. This effectively...

I think that if the druid wants to burn his wealth on his animal companion then he should be allowed. If you compare an animal with a fighter whose level is equal to the animal's hd and then give them equal amounts of money to spend, the fighter would be superior. Above all else, it falls to...

Why doesn't it say that it cannot make your total effective level higher than your character level? I do not believe that the writers would have made an error like that. After all, they have that particular phrase written in numerous feats and such.

Monte Cook commented on this. He talked about how the older durations, especially those on the old Fox's Cunning type, Encouraged players to "go, go, go! I only have half an hour left on my buffs!". He said that this sort of play lead to a degrading of game quality because players tended to...

It is my opinion that Natural Bond does stack, regardless of character level. Effects like that usually tell you directly when they cannot allow you to exceed your CL, Practiced Spellcaster being a fine example. In our games this feat is applied to the druid's level before selecting her...

Cheiromancer: I agree with that statement, although I stand by my assertion that when discussing effects the general must come before the specific. On a less arumentative note, anyone else come to believe through this thread that maybe Feeblemind is mislabeled as an enchantment spell? Seems to...

Drat. You are fast, Cheiro. The text does have to supply it because it is more specific than the text in Break enchantment.

Cheiromancer: My posts are more addressed to those saying that are saying that the list in Feeblemind is not descripted as a complete list, therefore they are assuming that there are other things allowed. This does not make sense. If that were the case, the why bother with the list to begin...

"I haven't seen any arguements that refute the logic that Feeblemind's text doesn't say the list is comprehensive...." Yes you have, if you read my post. Where in the book does it say that I cannot use my climb skill to make attack rolls? Where in the book does it say that I cannot roll 5d8 for...

Alright. I have to respond to this. Break enchantment will not work. It is not one of the specified cures. How much easier can this get? The argument that other things are not excluded is wishy-washy. Example: I am going to make fortitude saves against all spells from now on. Why? Because it...

My group is confronting the same problem. I am averse to your idea simply because it is hard to justify it. You may want to consider banning spells of a certain level and above. Say seventh and up, which is what we selected. However, leave the slots of those spells open for metamagic. This...

Nevermind.
