So how do you kill a demi-lich? They have protection from most magic (save for a few things that are kinda wimpy spells).

I can't always be sure that I'm fighting evil. In some cases, I definitely am... but yeah....

I'm playing an archivist in a campaign. I just received a vorpal dagger +1, which is pretty useless to my character. Instead, I want to take it to town and trade it in exchange for enchanting my masterwork longspear with +6 worth of enhancement bonuses. The weapon I want to create will...

I can't imagine playing in a monthly game. I always go for weekly games even though I don't have the time. A character progressing that slowly would be torture for me unless I had a weekly game to keep me sane. :D

Yeah. I personally like the limiitation when I DM, but not when I play. As a DM, it means that I don't have to read through 10 books to see what 1 player can do. On the other hand, as a player, I find that there are often one or two spells or feats that I might want from a book or just a...

Indeed. I think it's a good mantra to have. I should pass that along. In some instances, he's asking me for my opinion on his build, since he's never played a cleric before... yet because we're friends, I don't want him to think I've been manipulating his character to benefit mine. So I'm going...

I'm not sure what you mean about the question, but her goes: The campaign begins in 2 weeks. I think that we might realistically level up once a week, so it'll be a while before he sees any cool mid-level action.

That would be a great thing to do once we start the game. I'm a surprise player and no one is allowed to know about my participation until some point during the first session. As such, I can speak to the cleric (who is one of my good friends), but I can't coordinate anything like feats and...

DMM was mostly to be able to quicken a buff in the first round (and perhaps another buff in the second round if I eventually took 'extra turning')... not for the normal persitent metamagic cheese which is perhaps too cheesy and broken. As far as the spell compendium goes, I might have issues...

Well the original concept of an XFiles bookworm fit the campaign so well that I couldn't help but take the Archivist once I saw it. I saw a definite use for him in a XFiles-ish campaign.... It was all that Dark Knowledge and access to any divine spell that intrigued me the most. It seemed...

Something else that I thought of was to go a totally different route with a Cleric 5 taking the Summoning domain and going malconvoker 10, then thaumaturge 5. He'll be a summoner who blasts while the baddies fend off the hordes. I would only need Complete Scoundrel and Complete Divine. I...

I had previously asked for some help with suggestions for playing an Archivist who might have had to multiclass due to some backstory elements. (http://www.enworld.org/forum/d-d-3rd-edition-rules/269597-archivist-cleric-help.html) Well, it turns out that I was trying to optimize him with the...

That's actually a really interesting idea. Unfortunately, I can't choose what the event was that I had to be saved from. Neither my character nor the 'MiBs' actually know what the event was. The mystery, I assume, is part of the plot. The only thing anyone knows that some Intel provide the...

Haha. Perhaps. Though I'm still unsure. DM is AWOL, but I'm going to see if (given i take CC1) he'll let me retrain my CC-level spellcasting so that I don't lose any spell levels. Cross your fingers and wish me luck! And thanks to everyone for the discussion!

Well, part of the issue is not so much age, but some story elements that suggest life experience... Like the fact that the country that my character is from has mandatory military duty (like Israel and Singapore). Given other elements--that I come from a family of respected clerics/oracles--...

I prefer the ability to use my knowledge skills to give the party bonuses with the spells as backup. The party already has a cleric and a mage, so my role is purely supportive... I'm not actually worried about firepower as much given the presence of a wizard and cleric. Offensive domains would...

Wow! Lots of info. I should mention a few things... 1) My character is more of a skill monkey and his main role in the party is to be the Know-it-all Librarian. He uses this Intelligence to get the party through odd situations as well as informing them of their opponents' weakneses. When not...

I'm not sure what you mean by level increase... But my character chose to work for the organization instead of getting his brain wiped. So if he had any class levels before being given this option, those levels stick around. And the archivist levels would start from that point on. Pretty...

Long story... It's the DMs way of incorporating me into his campaign. This much is from the DM: My character is the grandchild of famous clerics. In his adulthood, my character was saved from a pesky situation by the government (think a fantasy version of the FBI/CIA/X-Files/MiB). He was deemed...

I totally agree with you. I normally prefer to take a class to its full progression. In this situation, it's less about wanting the domain powers and more about minimizing the setbacks of losing a level to backstory elements. I figure that if I'm going to lose a level, I may as well get...
