Recalling from 3.0: ghost touch weapons are supposed to act in whatever form would be most advantageous at the time. That to me would mean that if there is a barrier that prevents incorporeal things from passing, the ghost touch weapon would act as corporeal. However, I would rule in a...

Ahh, yes, I see what you mean - I agree with you.

I don't understand 1. It is a touch attack to start a grapple. You are saying your touch AC is so high (with a DD!) that it always misses? Even if your touch AC was that high, or your grapple check was off the charts, its still nice to get an AoO against creatures with IG. Creatures with...

I don't see enough powergaming going on: 15, 14, 13, 12, 10, 8 Str 15 Dex 14 Con 13 Int 10 Wis 12 Chr 8 +1 AC at first level is worth a feat. +1 HP at first level is not. At fourth level you get a stat boost. Pump up your Con if you are concerned about saves/HPs. Now you will get 4 HPs...

There is only one case I know of where you might mechanically* want ambidexterity without TWF: Iaijutsu master with expert tactician using the flavor text of iaijutsu. In that case (and in real life) it is only the attack made from the unsheathing that benefits from the extra power of...

Try reached, doubly extended, raybursted seething eyebane with a 17th level caster who has spell focus (necromancy), greater spell focus, ray focus, evil focus (forget the actual name), a kick arse Int, and has the vile template. Nasty, just plain nasty.

thanks any one else...

Like the post says, I am desperately looking for this CD. Actually, what I really need is the map(s) to waterdeep. I have been searching for weeks all to no avail and have a game coming up next week (10 veteran players from all over the US trekking to my place in VA for a 4 day marathon 1 shot...

I have an adventure coming up where I am dual DMing with a friend of mine for seven other people. The game will be for four solid days (dawn 'til dawn sort of thing). Every gamer is a veteran roleplayer for years in the double digits. I have DMed a bunch but never for so many nor such...

The key to survivability is a combination of good saves and damage reduction (not in the D&D sense but literally reducing damage). This is done relative to other characters by making the hits count less (having high HPs or DR) or getting hit less often. The combination of both is the most...

Aside from the MoF PrC and epic feats, I am confused about why people think empowered buff spells are so great and all that powerful. Average 4th: +4 Max 4th: +7 Average 6th: +5 Max 6th: +9 Average 8th: +6 Max 8th: +11 While those buffs are certainly nice, IME and IMC's I have never had a...

5000 XP (can't lower your level) Still a very mean combo though.

Celebrim, All good points. However, IME (although that may be limited), I have not seen too much rotation between missile and melee combat. Rather, at least PCs, tend to stick with one or the other. Even if they do both, missile generally only occupies the beginning of the combat. After...

I think this feat is slightly better than the apparent rogue/assassin-only consensus. However, it only becomes better when you are higher in levels where it is worth it to lose a standard action for a bonus on a single attack. It is very good for a single high level rogue (w/o a party) and...

I have a one shot coming up where I have the PC's (mostly 12th level arcane casters with MotAO levels) pitted against a necromancer possessed by some sort of fiend. I am using the possessor class from Fiend Folio (6th level can control creatures) so that the fiend can possess the necromancer...

Simply put, if you want to incapacitate a foe, there are other, better ways. This could then only be useful for a sorcerer with a limited number of spells. But then, extra spell would be better to get the actual spell that incapacitates them without killing them. This feat IMO is completely...

Just think about it like this: The wizard theurge basically gets 30 or so free 7th level wizard spells - all limited wishes without the XP penaly and usable only for clerical spells at the cost of 6 higher level spells. I know which I would choose.

Great use of whip: Brilliant Energy Whip with a clear physical barrier - incredible for defense.

Two, I am going to definitely have to disagree with you. There is a reason why the Monk death blow character made it to the smack list: Monk 2, Fighter 2, Psychic Warrior 2. Str 16, Dex 14, Con 10, Int 10, Wis 16, Chr 8 Feats: Improved Unarmed Strike, Stunning Attack, Dodge (using the...

What about the 6th level Death Attack smack: You have a monk fighter who has the freeze the lifeblood feat with expert tactician and improved death attack essentially allowing a coup de' grace against any foe failing their save against the freeze the lifeblood. The character will have fairly...
