Seems to me that divination would be relatively important to someone who deals with planeshifting.... I would probably get rid of necromancy, especially if you're the "flamboyant" type. There's not a whole lot in that school, unless you like roleplaying an evil/slightly evil type...

Well, that's why I used the word "should" a few times in there. And why I said "I hate it." I've gone over why I don't like concentration before, in an earlier discussion about it, and there were quite a few people who seemed to agree that the DC of 15+spell level was ludicrously low (keep in...

Interesting that you identify it as "not a very good troll," considering it wasn't one at all. Personally, I'd be more inclined to think that your post was a troll then mine...mine actually says something about the topic at hand, while yours, well, pretty much only insults me. (I'm aware that...

By "bigger" I meant in terms of strength. And I'm not entirely sure that I would disagree with that situation, either, vaxalon.

Nope...no "in my campaign" at all. It is stupid and overpowered, it should provoke attacks of opportunity, it should be banned, and he shouldn't be doing it in the first place. I hate concentration. I hate it.I hate it.I hate it.I hate it.I hate it.I h ate it.I hate it.I hate it.I hate it.I...

In just about every spell in the SRD(PHB, whatever), it says "character" to refer to the spellcaster (or if not just about every one, then at least a significant amount of them). This does not mean that the spell can only be cast by humanoids. There are ways to add character levels to all...

Wilding clasp would work if attached to a cloak with pockets in it, or something of the sort (a "cloak of holding" perhaps). Also, true seeing would solve the spellcasting squirrel problem....°

Unfortunately even with combat reflexes you can still only get one attack of opportunity per opponent per round. But regardless, they would all get attacks of opportunity against the person casting invisibility because casting defensively is stupid and overpowered and should be banned and...

Yes, but if they have combat reflexes, they would still get attacks of opportunity in that situation. I still say they don't when they're completely unaware of the attacker, though. As for the way I treat garotte attacks...the book is definitely underpowered. Garottes should most definitely...

shilsen is correct. Flick of the Wrist=once per combat, Quicker than the Eye=whenever you want.

Ah, good point. So fall back on another solution: First, do the rope trick thing. Then, scry/ask around/go to the big obvious looking black tower thing with skulls all over it and kill the lich, thus eliminating your troubles :-) (if the lich is spending so much effort on doing this to you...

Speaking of screwy EL systems... Anyone notice that in the EL tables, it is sometimes considered EASIER to fight a single mob of 10 than 10 "mobs" of one? In my experience, it is ALWAYS easier to fight one thing ten times than ten things one time, unless you have a whole lot of area of effect...

Super duper simple solutions: If you dont have rope trick, then buy a scroll or two. A couple hundred gp and you're set (copy it into your spellbook, cast the one and sleep for one night, then rememorize one each day as long as the lich keeps trying to get you) Or, you can always get a scroll...

Because all that armor chafes me so...I much prefer the freedom of movement and easy fit of a well-made robe... Oh wait, this is dnd, I forgot that people can wear armor 24 hours a day and not give it a second thought... :-P

No, mithral does add something other than half weight. Not only is it lighter, but it is also stronger, as reflected by the hardness score of 15 rather than 10. So your player's sword will be harder to sunder, and also lighter. It will cost 500gp/lb of the new weight...there is no need to pay...

People, please... WHEN SOMEONE IS INVISIBLE, THEY NOT ONLY GAIN A 50% MISS CHANCE, BUT YOU MUST ALSO LOCATE THEM TO EVEN BE ABLE TO TARGET THEM!!!!! So true strike does absolutely nothing about a flying invisible spellcaster, unless he is making a lot of noise in the air, or you can otherwise...

Read the book....again There's general rules for finding this stuff out....the SRD says that the school of magic is the school that the spells that are prerequisites for making the item are. Since there aren't any prerequisites for boots of elvenkind (spell-wise, at least), then you fall back...

Attacks of opportunity always happen just before the thing that provokes them. Thus, for example, if someone charges you with power lunge and you don't wanna get hit, you can disarm them and they won't be able to hit you (at least not with a weapon). Works the same way with invis and garottes...

Rogues should absolutely be able to find and disarm magical traps. In D&D, rogues have always had a slight amount of magical ability. They may not be able to cast spells, but they've always been able to read from scrolls, use wands, etc. etc. This extends into being able to find magical...

Took the words right out of my mouth, stealthymark. True strike works against mind blanked opponents because it doesn't target them. Pretty obvious to me... And also, the example with the flying around wizard doesn't work, because although true strike negates miss chances, it doesn't let you...
