It's a very good point. As they increase in power, usually rays multiply damage (Ex d6/level), whereas usually energy missiles increase in number (Ex. 1 missile/2 levels). Orb spells let you create orbs of varying size, however. (I have never liked orb spells, though.) I've run around with...

Wow andargor, thanks! I think, as soon as I get all this rounded up, I'll write a "Ray specialist" article. It will summarize spells, feats, and character concepts for Ray aficionados. :)

Hey! our very own EN World Player`s Journal: 3 has Devon the Ray's Spellbooks: the many varied ray spells of the famous Devon. Are these good?

More ray stuff: Some Ray feats I found online from the fabled Dragon Annual 5: Ray Burst Metamagic - REQ: none You change the effect of a ray spell to a 30’ burst centered on yourself. A ray burst hits all targets within 10 feet. Targets within 30 feet are allowed a reflex save to avoid the...

Energy Drain functions as Enervation. Point Blank Shot, Precise Shot, Weapon Focus (Ray), and Improved Critical (Ray) all sound like good feats. Getting sneak attack damage dice would help too, thought that gets in the way of more spells. Any other strategies? 0th level - Ray of frost...

Oooo! I have a list from the Dragon Annual 5: Ray of Clumsiness Ray of Flame Ray of Light Stun Ray Trageting Ray Distracting Ray Ray of Dizziness Ray of Sickness Ray of Ice Ray of Stupidity Rust Ray Sting Ray Ray of Weakness Ray of Deanimation Ray of Entropy 'Course, now I don't know what...

I'm trying to create a ray-using sorceror, and have ran across an odd stumbling block - there are very few ray spells! 0th level - Ray of frost 1st level - Ray of Enfeeblement 2nd level - Scorching Ray 3rd level - Ray of Exhaustion 7th level - Prismatic Spray? 8th level - Polar Ray Where are...

Actually, this is a campaign idea I've had for a while. No combat. Combat is basically a bunch of d20 rolls with physical consequences. A non-combat campaign would be a bunch of d20 rolls (skill rolls, mostly) with emotional, political, and physical consequences. Imagine a party scene where...

Intrigue, to me, does involve things that characters don't know, but it doesn't necessarily mean things they can't find out . It means that things aren't always as they seem, and motives may be more complicated that they were first led to believe. Characters generally have to take a step back...

I really have to disagree with this - Welren is absolutely not an Elminster. Elminster is a meddling, over-powerful, ubiquitous force in everything that happens in Faerun. His actions weave through many plots. Welren is a very high level NPC who has a fixed place in the setting. He's not...

Try this link for a discussion of icewine from canada, made from grapes frozen on the vine. Hope it helps! --Oghma

Gunter, you just described what I would call an NPC. That's not a DM pet, it's an NPC created for a purpose and phased in or out of the campaign as needed. Well done! Let's see if we can round out what a pet NPC is. A "pet" NPC has some qualities that are unique: The DM plays it as a...

Oooohhh, man, did I ever have a DM with pet NPC's. A whole party of 'em. The DM would choose which of them would play with us and we would get stuck with them, despite our wrangling. Some memorable moments: The DM had designed an adventure to reunite his NPC's on a certain island, despite...

I've done (and am doing) the connect-the-modules style of campaign management, and I've come up with some things that really help make the campaign tie together. Go through the modules you will use, and make a list of all the NPC's and important events that occur before each module. Figure out...

I just want to pass on the word. Gimil is the proud father of 4 lb. 14 oz. 18 inch Meghan Rae, his firstborn. She was born this morning at around 3am. Oghma

Flocktime 11, night time We left town. While we were having dinner, and Innskip was filling us in on what the liveryman essentially told us, Rattlin was poisoned! He kept throwing up, and Ord did some sort of healing, and he was able to tell it wasn’t just bad food. We aren’t sure if it was...

Posification is happening.... Oghma

Hey now. I'm playing Posy today, I should have something later in the week. Posy hasn't been neglected. How could anyone neglect her? She's currently almost 10th level, fighting giants with the boys. --dm

Heya, AW. I see you are still decorating your .sigs nicely :). Speaking of which, I just went through and updated the link on my .sig to the new URL for Posy's Diary, since it changed during the migration. Click on the link on my sig my sig or go to Posy's Diary, resurrected! if you want to...

I've seen a couple of folks return today, as I have, which I thought was too large a coincidence to go un-remarked. I'm back, too! Some of you will remember me as the author of Posy's Diary, (the link may still be in my sig) which is not defunct, and is heading towards an update soon. I got...
