I play a 20th level Elemental Savant. I have 9th level spells, and I currently cast Mass Haste as the first spell of any combat. I'd be willing to take the spell Haste, as listen in the PH, as a 9th level spell. Think about it: For the cost of one spell at the beginning of the combat, I get...

The size mod they are using here is the one listed under Grapple, not the generic combat size mod. It's (basically) +4 for every size over Medium, and =4 for every size under Medium. Therefore your example should be like this: A - Medium Fighter 5 (BAB +3, Str +2, Size +0) B - Small Wizard -4...

I never used minis before 3rd edition. Then came the revamped fighter, and all those feats that depend on position, like spring attack and mobility. Players who took these feats depended on precise positioning to gain maximum utility from them. We tried miniatures, and found that they added a...

I'd say very very carefully. That's how I'd do it. --Seule

Yes, but only for a high quality product that I intended to actually use. For example, the core D&D books are basically online for free, but I use 'em, so I bought 'em. If the product didn't wow me in free form, I'd not buy the print form. --Seule

The assassin's sneak attack dropped him to about -6, and he bled out from there, as Ving was unable to make the DC 15 Heal check untrained to stabilize him. Do you like the notes I put in in [] format? --Seule

Spoilers: Madness in Freeport Case 3266A Assault on the Lighthouse We rowed out to the light house narrowly avoiding the many patrols meant to discourage just our sort of visit. When we arrived at the island we quickly discovered that all the doors were barred from the inside and so...

I pretty much ignore food in games, except in exceptional circumstances. Of course, my game sidesteps the entire issue by being set in a city, so food and water are always available. --Seule

The rest of TiF went pretty much how the mod expected, the biggest difference was right at the end of the session that was posted. The Crusher almost killed several of them, they managed to get the door open and scramble out, the last to exit was while it was shaking while tipped up, so there...

I think the big issue is Persistant Spell. As others have pointed out, it gets very very powerful when used with spells that are usually limited to rounds per level, or other short duration. I think a reasonable fix is to open it up to any spell with a duration other than Instantaneous or...

In the latest Dragon, an Ogre (with +10 Str) is given as a +2 ECL, for a total (with the 4 HD of Giant) of +6. And that's a Large creature. Strength isn't everything. --Seule

I've looked through the DoF, and the only way I can find to get access to the Prestige Domains that your God gives, as opposed to some fixed by the PrC itself, is the Contemplative. I'm interested in having a Cleric with the Madness domain, for example, and this means I have to wait until 11th...

I already got one. Does it help if he's working towards Frenzied Berserker, and is our front-line fighter? He's kinda like a barely domesticated Tarzan, Brachiation and all. --Seule

I play a 20th level Evoker. Our Paladin routinely deals out over 100 points of damage a round, and has in the past broken 200. We all agree that in a fight, I'd win. I can deal out way more damage (two Sonic Meteor Swarms will do bad things to most characters, that's 48d6 damage, no save)...

I haven't gotten my copy either. Usually I have it by now. --Seule

The feats and abilities in Swashbuckling Adventures assume a specific environment: Very few magic items, and very little armour for most characters. In an environment like that, fighter types have to rely on other things for defense rather than straight AC, and Parry becomes very important. In...

Re: Re: Is Riding Skill Rule Wrong Actually, as pointed out above, you can't take ranks in riding different creatures under any circumstances. The DM decides how familiar you are with riding the creature in question and may apply penalties, but you only have one ride skill, that applies to...

Spoilers: Madness in Freeport Case 3266 Part 3 The Case of the Jade Statue After standing watch for the night (to keep the sword away from those thieving bastards) we continued down into the depths of the snake temple. Constable Endrin again held the undead creature guarding the stairs at...

I'm 29, and have been gaming since I was 8. The local university games club (of which I am still nominally a member) still gets recruits every year, and still runs the local gaming convention. I don't think we have to worry too much that the hobby is dying out. I think these boards attract an...

I'd put Rincewind more like this: Str: 8 Dex: 8 Con: 18 Int: 10 (or 6) Wis: 12 (or 4) Cha: 8 Really, he's nothing special. Other than being able to survive pretty much anything, he's not that good at anything. Not very funny, either. I've never like his books, good thing I started with Mort...
