    Epic Progression & Prestige Classes

    So what you're saying, Tyrrell, is that it IS possible to have a 15th level wizard/15th level cleric who has the actual spell progressions from each class. It's just that his BAB and saves top out at 20th character level and the next ten are based on the Epic progression. Correct? Just trying...

    Epic Progression & Prestige Classes

    Example: You go to 13th level in Wizard. Then add five levels of Archmage. Then two more of wizard. Now you're 20th level. From that point forward, you utilize the Epic Wizard progression. Now, what if you go to 13th Wizard. Then add two levels of Archmage. Then, for whatever reason, you...

    Epic spells and the Epic Caster (unfair balence of power?)

    I haven't played the rules yet, but my thoughts are as such: In many ways, wizards and sorcerers are ultimately going to be the most powerful characters at high levels. Yes, a fighter can swing his sword all day long and deal tons of damage, but a wizard can nullify all the opponents that the...

    Epic/Crazy/Wacky - just for fun

    Hey all, Some friends and I spent some time perusing the ELH yesterday and found all kinds of crazy and wacky situations. I thought I'd share them and invite others to do the same. And please, this is not a thread for people to complain about the "uber-power" of the ELH. It's for taking the...

    Best Character Death?

    I don't know if this is glorious or un-glorious, but it was entertaining (read: annoying). The DM had set up a rival adventuring party, one that we were always trying to best. They gave us no respect. Anyway, eventually they got really naughty and happened upon an item that would summon a...

    Gaming catchphrases, expressions, and idioms--what are yours?

    Here's some of the more entertaining that I've actually catalogued over the years. I know, I know. Total geek. ------------- "# to the forehead" Used to denote damage dealt via a Magic Missile spell. Magic Missile damage is ALWAYS to the forehead. "# to the left lung" Used to denote damage...

    [rant] Stupid players who act without thinking

    Just some thoughts. Regarding a player deciding, for whatever reason, that he doesn't want to continue to play a particular character... 1. Sounds to me like the first guy didn't want to play the Paladin. He wanted to play the guy with the cool sword. If that's all he wants, it's a DM call...

    Prestige Classes and Spellcasting Advancement

    I haven't been able to find any official errata or clarifications on this. In the case of a prestige class where you could (or in some cases, must) have more than one spellcasting classes... I know you don't advance multiple spellcasting classes at the same time. However, do you only get to...

    [really OT]-What would you bet...?

    My enemy gets it twice as much? I'd wish to have one of my kidneys removed from my body. But then, I'm vindictive like that.

    Main Gauche

    I've played some swashbuckly types in our games. We've handled it as follows: A main-gauche is basically a long dagger, often with an extra-wide cross-piece, for parrying. When being used to attack, we use the standard stats for a dagger. Use the Off-Hand Parry feat in Sword and Fist to...

    is D&D evil? Thoughts please

    That's "long-haired hippie pagan freak", to you. As for the rest of you, and your comments on this topic. Well stated, all. This is a pet peeve of mine considering I still catch crap from my mom about gaming.

    is D&D evil? Thoughts please

    D&D is exceedingly evil. Let's take a look at it from this standpoint. 1. Buying gaming books costs money. Keeping up on all the stuff put out costs a LOT of money. That makes me want to have more money so I can buy more. That, as well as simply wanting more books, is greed, pure and...

    Famous Last Words

    Travelling through a desert, protecting a Sorcerer who was being hunted, by WHAT, we did not know for certain. We hear a voice bellow from "somewhere", "Give him to me!" The reply from the combat-cleric, "Come and get him yourself!" Then the blue dragon popped up out of the sand.

    What characters have you played in 3rd edition?

    An elven wizard/rogue - ultimately was the betrayer in the party (long epic story) and became an NPC. A half-orc cleric of Llira (don't ask...I needed a fun character after playing the group's evil for a while) - died in a big battle with the Blackguard uber-villain. A human...
