Don't know...if Dal Quor can be reached with a Plane Shift or Gate, then their souls could get there (at least for a while). Other than that, my off-the-cuff answer would be "no." No sleepy and no trancey = no dreamy. -B-

Actually, in Dragon #319 (in the PH to Dark Sun section) they give Sleight of Hand the ability to be used to disguise somatic and verbal components, opposed by the observers' Spot checks. Granted, it's for "Athas-centric" campaigns, but there's always Rule 0... --B--

I've played all the core classes, and I have to say that the Barbarian was my least favorite. I hate having a character who goes ape-nuts for a paltry amount of time before becoming useless to the party for the rest of the encounter (at least until 17th lvl, IIRC). Of course, part of my bias...

Agreed. Whole-heartedly agreed :) Something that should have been done in the first place. I agree that the sorcerer should have (4+Int mod) skill points / level, mainly to balance them with the wizards' "virtual" skill points by virtue of Int as a casting stat. I'd personally drop Gather...

Also realize that you can make an "Elixer of True Strike" by subbing in Craft Wondrous Item for Brew Potion. The cost should be roughly the same, IIRC (single-use item: Caster level * Spell level * 50). -B-

I'm partial to the Recharge variant in UA. Spellcasters wield POWER; no Vancian "fire and forget" for me. Of course, YMMV. -B-

Seiken Densetsu 3 is a Secret of Mana game released in Japan, IIRC. Of course, I don't know if that helps at all... -B-

A quick question first, followed by a supposition if true: 1. Has the cost of powers stayed the same in the new book? You know: 0 lvl= certain number of times / day, 1st=1, 2nd=3, 3rd=5, etc.? If so, then at 20th level your psion would, going by the wizard progression of spells per day, have...

Don't forget the sonic screwdriver, multi-coloured long scarf, and jelly babies :p . As for the question at hand, you might try a "luck bonus" type of thing that goes up as the character advances in level rather than a "luck stat." New stats tend to make players' heads explode, which leads to a...

Make it, "there can be only TWO!" You know, pull a "Legend" kind of thing, like when Tim Curry says something like, "There is no light without the Dark." Give'em a cliche, just don't give'em the cliche they expect. And, if that fails, praise them for their obviously advanced mental prowess in...

My wizard? Female Half-Nymph/Human Fighter 2/Diviner 4/Spellsword (CW) 5/Eldritch Knight 2 Beauty, brains, corset, and a goodly dash of silk and chainmail. Of course, her best accessory is the Iron Lich she travels with, because black goes with everything. And yes, I'm a munchkin :D. -B-

I don't know...ever seen the movie "Dead Alive"? When a zombified, kung-fu fighting, Catholic priest and a zombified nurse chow down on custard before doing the "nasty" (resulting in a zombie baby), you know that anything's up for grabs. Note: definitely not one of Peter Jackson's best movies...

How do you get a Green dragon out of a lake of acid? Simple. Use Lime Away! Get it? Green dragons are green and limes are green and...ugh. Anyway, can you see the dragon through the acidic water? If so, how many arrows do you have? Laws of dnd probability say that many arrows + d20 = eventual...

Seconded (you got there first ;))

I'll do what I can. As I read it, "yes" on both accounts. Yep. I'd have to say "no," mainly due the line on page 158 that reads, "Once a character has cast a general recharge spell, he can't cast another spell of that level until a number of rounds has passed." Table 5-6 shows the number...

Valid point, but also notice that the average of 4d8 is 18, thus "stacking," as I call it, does occur. The fractional values are basically "phantom" points (which cannot be "spent") until the sum of the fractions is a whole number. I understand the method for finding the average rolls of...

Yes, but a precedent for fractional points stacking can be found in the Monster Manual, namely in the average hp entries for monsters (average of 1d8 HD = 4, but the average of 2d8 HD = 9 -- thus the true average of 1d8 is 4.5). Even though there are no ways (that I know of) that a monster can...

Yes, action points are cumulative. As to the amount said character would have, it depends on whether or not you have the 1/2 points stack (remember, though, that you gain a flat 5 AP at 1st level according to UA). Here's a little chart (assumes the character never spends AP): Example...

(Edit: Double Post...damnable gremlins)

I would set 6th level as the character's new "base level" for the purpose of buying off the new LA. Thus the Paladin would need to attain 6 additional class levels to buy off the first point of the new LA (Pal 12, LA +1), and 3 additional levels after that to buy off the last point of new LA...
