Don't discount the sorcerer! Rereading your "closing" comments, I was thinking of how much versatility a sorcerer with the right feats can bring to the table. I had a half-elf sorcerer focussed on enchantments, and was thinking of a similiar strategy (before a TPK, oops <g>). A wizard gives...

Found it! I found the thread on the WOTC message boards (trolling both at once <g>) http://boards.wizards.com/rpg/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=116;t=004230

stunned silence... /em silently applauds, jaw on the floor...

Elemental Savant is doable... You have another option: take your first level in a different class that has access to Knowledge skills. For example, try a Bard1/Sorc3. You could immediately sink 4 ranks into Know: Planes from your bard levels, and continue to raise it at a cross-class skill for...

That's it exactly - we're considering running these characters through to Epic levels using the Epic Level Handbook. Thanks everyone for clarifying - I misunderstood, and thought I was capped at wiz17 spell progression. As long as I can get there eventually, it will even out.

LOL!! It's not that bad, really - I'm much better off that the wizard 3 levels lower, since I do have the odd Cure Light spell. I think you and I are on the same page here Doc - My wizard isn't that badly off, just overshadowed by the rest of the party. I'm really pleased that I was wrong about...

Great points, and I generally agree. Part of the reason I like this character is his versatility: I created him as a scholar and hedge-wizard, hoping to bolster his spellcasting with potions and clerical scrolls (he has Brew Potion, Scribe Scroll and Craft Wondrous Item - I envisioned him making...

--BiggusGeekus-- But why do it at all? He's the only wizard in town who can take care of his own paper cuts! ---- Great question. I guess I'm just tired to being far behind the rest of the group in terms of power. My character is the only arcane caster (druid, ranger, monk and me), so I feel the...

<snip> - To find someother "Nice" monster to drain just your 'cleric' levels - You could make a deal with a devil? - Beg your DM for the next 30 days till he snaps? - Beg your god to drop your power - A Wish/Miracle spell to drop levels (your DM will never see that coming!) </snip> Some good...

Strange question I know... I have a character who is a converted 1/2 elf wizard/cleric from 2nd edition. He was the first character I attempted to convert when 3e came out, and at the time I decided to split his character levels based on his history. I ended up making him a cleric 3 / wizard 3...

Contemplative -Thanee---- More like you realize after making a contact with a deity or powerful outsider, that you are meant for something more significant and then start pursuing to follow the high ideals of a contemplative. ------ That seems the more obvious route, but what about your cleric...

Celerity Celerity is from the Defenders of the Faith book. Celerity When in light armor, the character gains +2 dex, +2 initiative and a 10' increase to move speed. I don't remember all of the spells, but it definitely includes these (yes, the levels are right!) 1. Blur 2. Cat's Grace 4...

Spells it is! It looks like the best bet for our little rogue is to have the party wizard cast Improved Invisibility - a lot :)

Thanks for the help everyone. Last night, I thought they could - probably because I was thinking of a Peerless Archer thread I had read here a couple of days ago (Pearless? heh, I love that). My confusion. --Dr_Rictus--- Sneak attacks by virtue of the target being denied Dex bonus to AC are...

In last night's session, our only fighter was engaging a stone giant in melee combat. The party rogue ran around behind, and attempted to flank from 25' away with his bow. Although the flanking rules seem to indicate that you only gain the +2 hit bonus with melee weapons, there was some...

I think that you need to figure out what motivates your players. Some have suggested that you should never let a TPK happen, that "plot is king" and the PCs should always win. That's fine if you all subscribe to that type of campaign, but it doesn't work for everyone. Our group are mainly...

Thanks for the replies. In this case, my mid-level cleric wanted to boost someone else's caster-level check (to decrease the wizard's odds of flubbing a check while reading a high-level scroll). These are great suggestions, but they're all self-effecting, which won't help. I guess we'll just...

Is there any way of boosting a caster-level check? My cleric has a number of spells that will allow him to improve someone's skill check (prayer, guidance-of-the-avatar). Does the skill-boost from these spells apply to a caster-level check also? If not, is there any way that I can improve...

>> This is getting into house rules, but I allow Bards to make a perform check vs. sense motive or spell craft (whichever is higher) to cast a spell without other noticing. In the Song & Silence book, there's a feat that allows bards to cast a spell in the middle of a performance, unseen...
