    Beguiler and High Level Play

    Also, Protection from Evil isn't quite the full protection you make it out to be. It only protects from "enchantment (charm) effects and enchantment (compulsions) effects that grant the caster ongoing control over the subject, such as dominate person)." This means that there's lots of spells...

    Energy Weapons VS Ballistic Weapons

    For an example of a real life "high tech" balistic weapon, check out a company called Metal Storm (http://www.metalstorm.com/). They've got a machine gun which fires at a rate of 1,000,000 rounds per minute, using no moving parts. They electronically fire the rounds.

    Post your best PC secrets!

    I once played a ranger who traumatically lost his wife to a (possibly magical) wolf, and in the process was gravely wounded. Unable to deal with the loss, his shattered mind came up with the belief that he had been infected with lycanthropy by the wolf, and killed his wife himself as a...

    Sky High

    This is not the movie Marvel is sueing about. They're sueing about a movie call 'Zoom' I believe, which is scheduled to come out either the week before or week after X-men 3, and from the 3 sentence summary of that movie, you couldn't tell it wasn't X-men, where Sky High is obviously different...

    Guide my Dwarven Cleric to a PrC

    Check out Fist of Raziel from the Book of Exalted Deeds. 10 level PrC, with +1 spellcasting at levels 2-10, you only miss out on 1 caster level. Gives a slew of cool smiting abilities, and at 1st level gives a permanent Magic Circle against evil (just hope your ally isn't an enchanter who...

    Hasbro 2Q results

    I wonder what this means for how D&D and other RPGs from Wizards did. They mention that the trading card games did worse than previously - if the RPGs did the same, then their value has increased compared to the trading card games.

    What would you like to see dropped from Dungeon?

    Another vote for Downer, with the Portent a close 2nd. I'm shocked that so many don't like Mt. Zogon - I think it's a riot. Not quite as funy as Zogonia in Dragon, but close. I'd also vote for those other articles at the end of the mag, not Monte's but the rest....I've yet to find those all...

    Requesting Paladin build advice

    I'm not going to throw out an entire build, but you might want to consider the Fist of Raziel from the Book of Exalted Deeds. It really cranks up the smiting abilites of a Paladin.

    Urban Arcana TV series?

    My question about the show is what's "Worlds of Wonder"? Did WOTC get a name change without us noticing?

    How would you balance the Bard & the Cleric?

    How about increasing the Bard's spellcasting abilities by having certain of their spells count as multiple versions without using up additional spells known? For instance, if a bard picks charm person, have that automatically add charm monster, charm plants, etc. to his spell list when they...
