Energy Drain is a nice spell : no ST, nerf the target's attacks et next STs, which allow the sorcerer to use then lower lever spells efficiently. The only drawback is that it's useless on undeads and constructs. Mordenkainen's Disjunction is a great debuffer but has a few drawbacks : unless...

1. No change : you must use adequate PrCs 2. Almost no change (PrC BAB and ST rule has been modified IIRC). Using fractionnal BAB & ST should be a good idea I think. 3. Spells have been modified : SoD deal damage, SoS have a save every round. 4. No change : spellcasters are still SAD if that's...

Remember that when a spell gives you a bonus and you want to create a magical item based on that spell, you must use the formula using the gained bonus instead of the formula using the spell level and caster level ...

In our Savage Tide campaign, our cleric is using SC a lot. We all agree to say that all the Mass spells are too low level. Fugue, a bard spell, is nearly broken as the effect depends on a perform check and it is quite easy and it's a Confusion-like spell that is not a mind affecting effect

According to the stats block, it allows the character to apply a metamagic feat to a spell at no cost ...

I'm not completely sure that you are right : The errata text says : The limit of one sneak attack per turn is still there according to the last sentence.

The Half-Dragon template is really good for fighters : +4 Natural Armor, +8 Str (forn only +3 LA => you can still hit hard), +2 Con, though the firts levels may be really difficult.

Yes & no !! I'd say that you lose your bonus spells and can't cast the others. If your intelligence returns to normal then in the day, you can cast all your normal spells but must wait for the next day to prepare again your bonus spells.

Maybe you should look more at Pathfinder skill system : it penalize less players who want to put some points in cross-class skills and it is easier to use for multiclassed characters.

In French, Réveillé means awake. I hope it's a sign he'll recover soon !!

IIRC, daggers are monk weapons and flurry of blows can be used with unarmed strike or monk weapons, so you shouldn't need a feat for this. I was told that there was a feat in Eberron to have a weapon considered as a monk weapon but I can't remember its name. edit : I've just checked the SRD ...

A good way to deal with Death Ward is to take advantage of its short duration (1min/CL). Step 1 : send your vampire minions attack the adventurers. Tell them to attack by priority the clerics. Step 2 : your vampire minions are disabled (gazeous form + return to the coffin), the adventurers...

There is a cloak in MIC which gives you the same effect that the Luckblade.

As it has been said, you use the minimal hability necessary for the DC of a scroll. But the fact is that this rule means that the DC of a scroll is : 10 + 1.5 x spell level.

Maybe classes only accessible to monsters ?

In my group (nearly 20 gamers), we have seen 3 deaths since the launch of 4th edition : 2 because of a stupid tactic, and 1 from a whacky DM who put a too tough encounter. In 3rd edition, we had 1-2 deaths per week end, our record is 27 deaths in a week end.

Watch out with casting rituals faster !!! If you compare mundane use of a skill and a ritual doing the same job, you can see that often the ritual has more chances to succeed because you make a skill check with a bonus : Knock is an arcana check with a +5 bonus, Detect Secret Doors uses your...

Spiked gauntlet : simple weapon, group unarmed, 1D4

I've tried the White Dragon vs 4 2nd-level characters (rogue/paladin/fighter/wizard). The characters were already worn up by 2 important fights in the day and the battle took place in a big icy cavern (speed divided by 2). The dragon did a great use of his breath and mobility and the fight was...

In France, the 3 translated books were available for sale on 4th edition release day. ;)
