I'd scratch Use Magic Device, Sense Motive, both Crafts, Escape Artist, and Diplomacy from my list of "really important" rogue skills right off the bat with no hesitation. That's 6. A "normal" human rogue in my opinion has more than a 10 Int, but assuming I have to come up with 3 more: Gather...

In my experience, PvP has always ended badly. Even when players claim they can separate their IC actions from their OC feelings, it has a huge tendency to destroy campaigns and sometimes even the gaming group itself.

Per the errata, warforged heal ability damage naturally like anyone else, so they would not be damaged "forever."

That might be because it isn't one. :cool: Check out page 174 of the PHB...

That would at least be a helpful offer, unlike Simplicity's response. If anyone would be willing to summarize the cohorts for me, I'd appreciate it. TIA.

Was there some point to your reply? Do you think I haven't heard of "money," or considered the possibility of buying the magazine? Or did you just want to make sure that I know you don't think the article is worth seven bucks? I asked if someone could post the stats for me. If your answer to...

Speaking for myself only, as a player, what's fun for me is earning my own rewards. I don't think it's "fun" to miss a game, yet have my character advance along with everyone else who was actually there. If that were "fun," why would I ever need to actually show up and play? You could just...

Can someone post the stats for the possible cohorts of "Age of Worms" PCs with the Leadership feat, supposedly appearing in Dragon #335? Thanks in advance.

Perhaps. Cite one clear example in the RAW of single-target damage being simultaneously applied to multiple ablative targets and I'll concede the whole argument.

If I took 15 points of damage, the protection from energy can't have "absorbed" any of the fireball's 25 points of damage.

Poppycock. You claimed that both false life spells take the damage "by virtue of them overlapping." Resist energy and protection from energy explicitly overlap and do not stack. The analogy is perfectly apt. Furthermore, they do have the same effect: both spells reduce the amount of damage...

That you're wrong about them being "too close in flavour to allow both."

Your conclusion (that damage is subtracted from both spells at the same time) does not follow. Consider resist energy and protection from energy, which overlap and do not stack with each other. If my protection from energy (fire) spell has 5 points of protection left and my resist energy...

I believe you are correct, except that the better spell doesn't get "weaker" before terminating. However, once all of the temporary hit points from the better spell have been used up, its duration ends and the lesser spell is still there. So it's effectively the same thing. I'm not sure that...

Ask him if you can substitute Improved Toughness for Toughness as a prerequisite for Dwarven Defender. Even if he isn't using non-core books, ask him anyway; it can't hurt to ask, can it? And Toughness is a sucky, sucky feat. It's almost cruel to require anyone to take it. (Please, don't...

There's a slight conceptual problem with the scenario you've described, because the Reactive Counterspell feat doesn't let you "cancel" actions; it simply allows you to cast a counterspell before your regularly scheduled turn. Strictly speaking, wizard1 would get to counterspell the wail of the...

Erol Otus. Hands down, the greatest D&D artist ever.

You might want to check your rulebooks again. You get a Fort save before the drain becomes permanent.

I've been playing since the 70's, and using miniatures almost from the beginning. Before battlemats became commercially available, my group constructed our own. Nevertheless, we didn't do much maneuvering before 3e...because there simply wasn't any point. (I understand there were some...

I'm playing a warforged cleric right now, and it's...interesting. The Wis and Cha penalties hurt, of course, but aside from that it's a good match. Clerics don't have to rest to recover spells, so you can still stand watch for your buddies all night and heal 'em in the morning. As for...
