    Greater Than the Sum of Its Parts

    really? I would think that a specialist in your scenario wouldn't be able to gestalt with a forbidden specialist. Conjurer/Illusionist maybe, which seems to make a gestalt specialist even -more- viable than a gestalt generalist combo (though from what has been said already, apparently it does...

    Alright, thanks for clarifying, I was a bit lost in the weeds lol.

    Greater Than the Sum of Its Parts

    This is a question to open a discussion about Gestalt character design. Hypothetically: What if one were to Gestalt-Class a Necromancer and an Evoker. Possibilities: 1) Both are wizards. --Can't be done. 2) They are separate kinds of wizards. --Give double spells and let 'er rip. Your...

    Multiclassing - decouple Class Levels and Character Levels?

    quite true bladesong; and i also agree that it's good and bad. I feel that it's very enjoyable to play, though the rapid increase in power can be unsettling for a new DM.

    Inspire Greatness -- Bonus Hit Dice?

    HD and HD-based features are biconditional. Hyp and the gang are right again.

    Command word activation

    "Bivrip!" comes distinctly to mind.

    Elrond

    He IS a half elf. period. He decided to pay more heed to one side than the other, however, which is a choice that Tolkien's half-elves are capable of making.

    Elrond

    He mentioned it because he is a half-elf...and very half-elfy...and very elfy....

    Can awakened animals speak?

    "letting" them wild shape into something other than an animal would be house-ruling. The problem would come with equipment issues, I should think. Wild Shape = turn into an animal.

    Cloak of Mage Armor

    An iron band, this simple ring generates a shield-sized (and shield-shaped) wall of force that stays with the ring and can be wielded by the wearer as if it were a heavy shield (+2 AC). This special creation has no armor check penalty or arcane spell failure chance since it is weightless and...

    Helm of Opposite Alignment, Efreeti, and You

    I'd say that the PC has at the very least become lawful, as pushing one's beliuef system on someone else is a radically lawful thing to do; however, it is not evil. I would, however, suggest that if the PC does not voluntarily decide to change his/her alignment to LG or LN, that they have...

    Can awakened animals speak?

    I've always wanted to awaken and permanently fox-cunning an ooze as a character. I figure that an ooze can alter it's shape, and if it were intelligent that it would see the goodness of walking upright and having hands with thumbs, and thus be able to use equipment....

    Cloak of Mage Armor

    I agree, the whole thing is ridiculous, lol. and yes, they can wield the wall of force as if it were a shield.

    COUNTERSPELLING: Dispel Magic Qustion

    I was just making an observation that you and a few others (Inf) come off a little, shall I say, annoyed, emotional and frustrated. There may or may not be anything personal "going on." Snarky tone doesn't help your case, though.

    Can I use a ray to make a called shot?

    My explanation rests in this convenient Star Trek Scenario: A phaser (matter-phaser) set to kill, at short range, will cause the target will be disintegrated, no matter what part/held-item is targeted, assuming that it hits. In other words, no matter what part or item of a person is targeted...

    Cloak of Mage Armor

    Oi Gevalt. I think he called you (or was it your argument?) silly a page or so ago. Other than that, there have been no Ad Hominem attacks. Repeated? No. Ad Hominem? Barely. Rather, after having re-read this thread, I find that you are guilty of taking things, and yourself, WAY too seriously...

    Skill-Based Everything.

    WOO! Legends of Sorcery is essentially and precisely what I need to finish this system! Thanks again for the feedback, I'll be working on this, and let everyone know If i come up with something intriguing (lol).

    COUNTERSPELLING: Dispel Magic Qustion

    As merely a part-time rules lawyer (hyuk hyuk), I'm still inclined to agree with Hyp on this one. For one thing, he's not taking anything personally (despite others' best efforts it seems). way to go. Secondly, and much more to the point, he is correctly interpreting the glossary definitions...
