    Star Wars Saga RPG: Square Book? WTF

    It is about 100% more comfortable to read while lying down. Thats all I need right there. Seriously - I did that with 3.5 monster manual I for an hour and a half and I thought I'd need cpr.

    Smorgasbord characters

    well I doubt the usefulness of a single level in spellcaster at that high of a level - but one thing is certain - with the right domains, you could get all of your spells in one level of cleric - or cleric druid at most. I would also drop those sneaky classes - at that level, their skills could...

    Do Any items grant precise shot ?

    MY question is that - do any items grant precise shot ? I can't seem to remember If any do or not. I thought I remembered seeing one in the DMG or MIC but I cannot find any now.

    Warlock w/hideous blow & whip - ?

    yeah. this build is an eldritch disciple that buffs a lot for melee.

    Warlock w/hideous blow & whip - ?

    Cool. I was more puzzled by the "no damage to armor class > n" clause, but you guys have illuminated me.

    Warlock w/hideous blow & whip - ?

    Well, upon reading the hideous blow description closely, it has the caveat that the melee attack does not need to deal melee damage - but then if only the eldritch blast damage applies , I might as well just not even use the whip and blast away... But I am still curious about the theoretical...

    Warlock w/hideous blow & whip - ?

    Will my planned warlock be able to apply hideous blow damage to his whip and have the blast deal lethal damage ? What about to targets with high enough armor bonuses to normally negate the weapon damage ? What if the whip also had a crystal of elemental assault on it (MIC + 1d6 elemental damage)...

    Optimal ways to use the Cloud of Knives spell?

    Artificer infusions on the focus, maybe ? Other than that, spells that duplicate things like that - energy weapon, undead bane weapon...

    Cleric of Fharlanghn

    I know that most Clerics I have made have just gone the straight cleric route. It always seems to be the best choice at the time.

    [PHB2] Immediate Magic (Abrupt Jaunt) Spell-like or Extrodinary?

    the purpose of this ability (as we see it) is to get out of the way of an incoming attack. It makes no sense for it to provoke an attack of opportunity.

    Build for Illusionist

    I would look at the races of stone substitution levels for a gnome illusionist. They are, in my opinion, the best racial sub. levels out there. The 1st level option effectively lets you cast all the major illusion spells as a whole level lower - ex. major image becomes 2nd level and silent image...

    PHB II Druid alternate wild shape

    I used it also on a NG mountain orc druid with a huge str. it worked well. EDIT : i guess I should elaborate - it enforces the fact that you can build a melee oriented druid. However since you only get a bump to str, you cant make it a dump stat.

    Wall Of Force Question

    hrmmm... wall of force.. "The caster can form the wall into a flat, vertical plane whose area is up to one 10-foot square per level. The wall must be continuous and unbroken when formed. If its surface is broken by any object or creature, the spell fails." So the box idea is out. Shoring up...

    Glass of Power.

    As I read it, I dont think it is as easy as getting someone to break it - You have to physically do it. I would adjudicate it as a standard action for the wielder.

    Combo Question - Hand Crossbow And Mystic Theurge

    what about that int-based divine caster from heroes of horror ? The Archivist. I would use him to basically have every divine spell in the book. Also - If you can convince your DM of the theurge's weakness, see if he will let you take Precocious Apprentice (Complete Arcane 180) so you only need...

    Beguiler Assistance

    the one spell I am most glad is on the beguiler list is solid fog. When you can cast it, make sure you do. It shores up a few of your weaknesses and lets you escape what you need to.

    Class substitution levels

    It seems some are using "class substitution levels" and "alternate class abilities" interchangeably. They are not the same thing. I not aware of anything that is a "class substitution level" - only racial sub. levels.

    Class substitution levels

    I can say that I have used several of the alternate class features : Abrupt Jaunt : phbII - conjurers specialists - Saved my conjurer numerous times Shapeshift : phbII - druid - made making a half orc druid extremely believeable Charging smite : phbII - this is the only one I see...

    Swashbuckler 7 for Ravenloft

    My group will soon be exploring Ravenloft, and after recently having a character die, I decided to roll randomly for a 7th lvl char instead of coming back at 6th. I would like some Suggestions if you can offer any on this build - Realizing this is probably not the optimal class to bring to the...
