    Long Distance Teleport Rituals?

    That is *awesome*. I love the idea of a DHD and teleport gates!

    Cloak of Invisibility: Best item in the game?

    Fair enough. I did forget your original post had a ? beside it. But you've also been 'challenging' everyone to prove you wrong as well as anyone who disagrees with you, making your "I think so" at the end of your original post more like an "It is". But again, *you* haven't answered how this...

    Cloak of Invisibility: Best item in the game?

    And, if she's using her 'Hide in Plain Sight' which doesn't allow her to move, but still makes her completely undetectable at level 30 with her screaming stealth bonuses (which means no triangulation as per your statements - because nobody knows where the ranged attacker is shooting from...)...

    Cloak of Invisibility: Best item in the game?

    The level 22 rogue ability does let the rogue move. So, the rogue can shoot and move, repeat, ad nauseum. So again, how is the cloak different? And, if nobody can spot the rogue via a perception check at 30th level with his ability up, how again is that different from the cloak? According...

    Cloak of Invisibility: Best item in the game?

    Okay, and except for the proviso that it lets you move, how is this item any different from the rogue abilities then? If a rogue used ranged attacks with their hide in plain sight abilities at 30th level, they'd be nigh impossible to attack, just like the cloak, yes?

    Cloak of Invisibility: Best item in the game?

    Other than Wizard's spells and the cloak, what else provides invisibility? I don't know.. I really think it's fairly obvious that it's treated like the invisibility spell except that it's an item and therefore usable by anybody (not just the wizard) and doesn't require any concentration to...

    Cloak of Invisibility: Best item in the game?

    Huh.. looking through the PHB, it clearly states in the Wizard Invisibility spells (both regular and greater) that invisibility ends by attacking.. How would the cloak be any different? The only difference I can see with the cloak and the Invisibility spells is that the cloak doesn't require...

    Where did my options go? - The New Paradigm

    I think I can understand what the OP is trying to say. But, I'll also agree with the one poster who mentioned that just because there were limitless options on how to make a character didn't mean there were limitless *good* options on how to do so. On another board, one player lamented that...

    Take 20 ... gone?

    For me, it just seems to waste time we could be doing something more productive. (Our group only meets every other week and we only get about 4-5 hours of game time in, so every bit is fairly precious.) Either someone *will* have the strength to topple it or they *won't*. I honestly feel the...

    D&D 4E 4e -- Is The World Made Of Cheese?

    Dirt is not stone. Digging under enemy fortifications was done by removing the dirt, not digging through stone. I'm sure the Koreans were digging in the dirt, not through stone. I don't need a rule in the book to replace my common sense to tell me that I can't dig through a stone wall with a...

    Succubus Energy Drain

    So, the rules about the Succubus energy drain says: Now, what exactly does this mean? That once the Succubus has grappled her opponent, she can automatically kiss for a negative level drain? If that's the case, then it seems the only qualifier is for there to be a grapple. If that's the...

    How will you handle this?

    Well, my first answer is that if you're not going to be switching, why worry about it? My second answer is that since the game isn't out yet, we really have no *complete* idea of what options will be in the PHB, just what's been previewed to go on. The question isn't fair at the moment until...

    Wands of Cure Light? Bah!

    I'd like to think that *actively* attacking your summons would cause an alignment shift, and also break them of just standing there ready to take the hit (I'd assume at that point, you're no longer their 'friend' but now an 'enemy'). I can also see *actively* attacking your summons as probably...

    Wands of Cure Light? Bah!

    Um wow. Would a wizard or sorcerer lose their 'summoning' priveleges by casting Summon Monster 1 to do exactly the same thing? What about a cleric? What if the Druid was using a wand, and not her own spells? Sorry, but adjudications like that are just stupid.

    Anyone still confused on Improved Grab and Constrict?

    Yeah, but depending on the weight, it might be 'dragging' it's prey off at only 5' a round.

    Does darkvision see shadows?

    You can see shades of grey (as if watching a Black and White TV show) but you most definitely do not see shadows. In fact, a long while back I asked one of the 3.0 designers about DV and he pointed out that the 'guy with the cloak's hood pulled over his face to conceal it in shadows would have...

    Cohorts, Familiars, Mounts, Animal Companions... and CR??

    On the other hand, in a smaller group, the Leadership feat is a way of getting the party some extra help. In a big group, though, I could definitely see limiting or eliminating it.

    Animated Shield and Bows.

    I don't have the feats available for the buckler feat. And besides, even with just a +1 animated darkwood heavy shield, I still have an AC of 36.. :D I'm not worried *too* much about an extra point or so.
