Re: Oh please... That sounds about the level of "strategy" of most players -- they're stymied unless they can ask God yes-or-no questions. The stupidity of players is also always a sign to behold. Heaven forbid you have to figure out a puzzle without God on your speed-dial. EDIT: So how...

I'm not sure about a passage in the DMG, but there's this from Monte: http://www.montecook.com/arch_dmonly16.html He starts by talking about his recent module: "In my adventure Demon God's Fane, the scenario begins with a murder mystery. So I thought of all the ways the PCs could use spells...

I vote for the half-orc. I know you're shocked :).

Thanks for proving my point.

So the wizards in my campaign can cast Meteor Swarms, but because they can't Teleport to places that they have only Scryed, it's not a "high level D&D game"? No, that is Loki whining like a three-year old being told he can't eat a candy bar before supper :). You can't be serious. It's abuse...

I'm not an official flunky, but I think you might want to create a Large Creature Template -- it'd be a lot simpler than the Kryptoni -- er, Andromedan template or the Web-Spinner template. You'd have to go through all of the icky power-by-power math that vermicious knid refers to, but you'd...

PC -- I don't think you're allowed to post here twice without giving a suggested price for this magic item :). So c'mon! Again, I will note: 1) Works pretty much like a bard's countersong (but goes off automatically) 2) Doesn't mess with spellcasting (not that it's usually worn by a...

I think we're seeing eye to eye here. I completely agree that there's more than one "correct" approach. It's just that I've seen some Higher Ups (not Piratecat, actually -- more Monte -- but maybe PC feels the same way) come forcefully out against changing spells and in favor of changing the...

Let me address these points in turn: 1) I'm aware that high-level play is different from low-level play, but that is not to say that 3E collapses of its own weight without Commune, Scry, Wish, and Teleport. God forbid characters have to walk around, or, more likely, fly around. Or figure out...

So you want to charge someone an ENTIRE LEVEL for taking a feat? No offense, but that's retarded. No one would ever do it. Ever. Hell, you normally get a feat every three levels -- so each time you level, it's like you're getting a third of a feat (not including all that other wonderfulness)...

I don't have access to Babelfish right now -- can you translate this :p? What, precisely, does the second sentence mean? A GM shouldn't be playing 3E if he wants to Rule 0 Teleport, Scry, or Wish? Or that he should make sure he Rule 0's them before the campaign starts?

First of all, you can do a lot more with a level of Hero. You can buy attack bonuses, damage bonuses, bump up your movement rate (though that's probably too cheap in the system), even increase ability scores (3 Hero points for a +2 bump). A good house rule would be that if you take a level of...

Don't be silly. First of all, it's not "spells" but "spell". Second of all, he is putting restrictions on his character. I just think that it's really silly one of the restrictions ends up being that he's a less effective summoner because he's a conjuration specialist. I did double his...

There's a difference between Rule 0 use and Rule 0 abuse. I agree that GMs should resist using Rule 0 mid-campaign on the spur of the moment, and that if they do, they should allow the characters to pick another spell, another feat, or whatever. I don't think that if they do, players should act...

Nothing "sagely" about it. It's a copout. The correct response to "I want to run a whodunnit in 3E, but there are all of these divination spells that make it impossible" shouldn't be "You don't really want to run a whodunnit! Don't change the rules, change the problem the PCs face . . ."...

Yeah, it's his fault for not powergaming sufficiently. S L A P ! I've already made it clear to him (not that it was necessary) that there will not be Bull Strength Clouds or Fireball Clouds, and he was never intending for there to be. And the reason he doesn't summon creatures with SR is...

Well, it's a cloud, see, and if the spell creates a cloud, it must be a Conjuration spell, right? ;) Lame, I know. But I can't imagine sticking a specialist Conjurer with the drawback that he has absolutely no way to make his creatures attack someone protected by a 1st level spell. Any other...

Holy crap! Imagine a D&D campaign based on Edwin Abbott's FLATLAND! !!!!!!!! I was going to post something snarky about the Demons and Angles thing (bad editing is one of my pet peeves, and for there to be an error that big on the cover is simply retarded), but that got washed away . . ...

I'm an Epic-level Jerk, but I'm not sure that that was precisely your question :p.

Seems like it might be a little steep, as it's not protecting really against any spells that are higher than 4th level (Shout). Well, I suppose it protects against Greater Command. Refresh my memory -- what does a Ring of Nine Lives do?
