The essence of Heroes of Battle is you determine the flow and outcome of the combats assuming that the player characters aren't there. Then decide what the effect of the players would be depending on what they do. A war is made up of many battles, firgure these battles out independently of...

You are not lighting a candle and breathing, you are using a magic item. Is using a magic item restful? In the general case I think that it is not - while not specifically excluded under the section on rest it's implied (fairly demanding..mental). Is Incense of Meditation a magic item...

This is D&D not your meditation class. Rest is rest. Most of what you described is not restfull. From the PHB: To rest her mind she must first sleep for 8 hours. The wizard does not have to slumber for ever minute of that time but she must refrain from movement, combat, spellcasting...

Multiply stacking metamagics does allow a number of very nasty effects. The most obvious is Extend spell. Anything with a duration of 1 hour a level, given 2-3 extra levels becomes 3-4 hours per level, and that means you can cast it the previous day and have it running. Mage Armour, Greater...

Spell Vulnerability has a saving throw. The monster saves, your spell is wasted. Assay Resistance has no saving throw. Assay resistance is a swift action, so you can do something else that round...like throw a spell (with SR but no Saveing throw) at the monster. Differences in duration...

Precocious Adept clearly does not let you qualify for Mystic Theurge by a reading of the rules. Precocious Adept lets you cast one single (nominated) second level spell. To qualify for Mystic Theurge you need the ability to cast second level spells. Spells is the plural of Spell. The...

Based on how ineffective Counterspelling is, I've house-ruled that you can counter/dispel a spell in subsequent rounds. Seems to work quite well IMC. Wizard has a shield up and all you have is magic missiles left as attack spells, move up to him and cast your shield to counter his (touch...

Heavy armour is already very disadvantageous to wear compared to all the other forms of AC. the penalties to skills, the reduced movement rate etc. The classes who can wear heavy armour already have craptastic reflex saving throws, and will have generally chosen lower Dex when designing...

Hello wizard, meet Monk. SR=level+10 (at 13th). Great saves to everything. Improved Evasion. Great movement. Stunning Fist. Imagine an Antimagic Shell on a monk via some mechanism.... The way to deal with wizards are manyfold. Design situations where the wizard must expend resources to...
