First of all, thanks for all of the advise, everyone. Second of all, the DM is in no way abusing us, if anything he's being very creative in dealing with our otherwise successful builds (my Dwarven Defender has an AC of 45 before defensive stancing - for him to hit me in combat has always been...

The problem with most of those ideas is that gravity affects us as soon as the time stop ends, so we don't have time to correct course (or dimension door away) before he hit the gate (which is only 1-2 feet above our heads other than with immediate actions. Even if one of the spellcasters has a...

Any suggestions on how to handle a spellcaster who keeps abusing our party using time stop? She's time stopped, passwalled into our area, without our knowing she's there, cast reverse gravity on our area, and gate above our heads and sent us to the Abyss. We weren't pleased. Our party is 17th...

If you're talking about a tank as in "go ahead and attack me, I don't care or notice", then use a tower shield. For a cleric this would require a level of fighter (or a feat in the proficiency), but it's worth it. With a Tower shield and full plate (and the 2 armor optimization feats from...

I don't think a character with those high diplomacy and bluff skills is weak at all. Use them in combat! You can use diplomacy with a penalty (which you'll laugh at) as a full round action instead of a 1 minute action, and bluff can be used to feint for sneak attacks. Even more effectively...

When looking for a name for a new character or NPC, I often use this website: http://www.behindthename.com/ It has all sorts of names from many many cultures.

Just one more suggestion to add to the mix: Green Star Adept from Complete Arcane.

Well there's Displacement and Blink. The deflect arrows feat completely negates 1 arrow per round. Also, incorporeal foes have a built in 50% miss chance (plus can move in and out of solid objects, giving them total cover while inside of something. Also, there's the simple Tower Shield -...

Well, at higher level you can shapechange into a choker, they get an extra standard action per round. Then there's also time stop.

I actually think it's pretty dead on. I work for a company which produces in store displays and mall kiosks, and it's amazing how much some of the most basic stuff costs. You have to factor in all sorts of things beyond the materials used - the labor to assemble the finished product, account...

Is there some time pressure to accomplish the goal ASAP? If not, then can't the high level party simply rest for a day and come back the next day with all turning attempts restored from the night of rest? If there is some reason that the turning attempts need to be used quickly, then the...

While it's not a prerequisite, Run makes Improved Overrun more effective.

Let the healbot turn the undead, then have the entire rest of the party whittle them down with ranged attacks once you corner them - just stay 10 feet away so you don't break the turning.

Other - all of the above

After the +1 RoP and +1 amulet of natural armor, and possibly +3 armor if your character wears it, the +1 insight bonus to AC is the cheapest way to increase AC - at only 5K. All players I know buy one in the low teens if not sooner.

One house rule I use is that outsiders with DR/evil or DR/good also have DR/lawful or DR/chaotic if they are one of the extreme alignments - so that devils, being LE, are actually DR/good or chaotic, and demons are DR/good or lawful - and thus devils and demons bypass each other's DR and the...

I'm currently playing a wizard and went through the same thought process as many of the above posts. I wound up picking an abjurer, with enchantment and necromancy as barred schools, and to cover the missing enchantment (and not mess with sleep as a staple spell) I used color spray through...

My Ftr7/Dwarven Defender 9 has a base AC of 41, flat footed 41, touch 22. +1 Mithril Heavy Fortification Battle Plate (from races of stone): +10 armor +3 Tower shield: +7 shield Amulet of nat armor +2 Dex +3 Ring of protection: +3 deflection Dusty rose ioun stone: +1 insight Heavy armor opt and...

I gave it a 7. It was fun, but not up to the greatness of the first two (I'd give them both a 10.) In addition to some of the stuff that others have mentioned, there were a few plot points which didn't make sense/or important bits were left on the cutting room floor (like the scene on the...

Only your postage costs would go up 30%. Your other costs (printing, payroll, etc.) would not be affected.
