    Help Me Evaluate this Magiked-Up Bolt

    Assuming the whole concept works (and yes I think I'll tone the damage down a bit) what do you think should be the chance to recover a usable or at least repairable bolt if: A) The bolt is still made out of adamantine but not enchanted so he can use the standard shrink item spell? B) The...

    Help Me Evaluate this Magiked-Up Bolt

    Yes, he realizes that would be the 'efficient' way to go. But he's trying for the 'one shot - one kill' super sniper. Plus suddenly finding a fast giant spear sticking out of your guts without knowing where it came from has got to be confusing for the target. As he says, "Besides, it's just...

    Basic Continual Flame Question

    Thanx, that's what I thought. :) But there was some difference of interpritation within our group so I thought I'd clarify it here.

    Basic Continual Flame Question

    Can Continual Flame light anything else on fire (since it doesn't give off any heat)? Does it go out from lack of oxygen since it doesn't use up any fuel and oxygen is part of the fuel)? { Does it still work underwater? } Is there anyother reason you couldn't keep a Continual Flame candle (or...

    Soulknife's Useless Power Point Reserve ?!?

    :confused: What? :confused: Soulknife already gets Speed of Thought at 5th level. Or did you just mean he gets it earlier.

    Help Me Evaluate this Magiked-Up Bolt

    I guess we didn't see it as the same case as enlarge person. It doesn't change back as it leaves, it changes back on impact. So it would be flying through the air at least somewhere in the ballpark of the same speed as a colossal crossbow firing a colossal bolt. {I don't know if projectile...

    Help Me Evaluate this Magiked-Up Bolt

    I would agree firing the bolt would not be the same as 'tossing onto any solid surface.' But at the speed a crossbow bolt flies, I would say the impact when striking almost anything (except maybe whip cream) would be at least equal to a solid surface. Certainly a shield or metal armor would and...

    Soulknife's Useless Power Point Reserve ?!?

    That's a good idea. Our group should probably be able to work something out along those lines. Thanx. :D

    Leadership - ECL >1 Followers

    Lets say I'm a Lizardfolk (has taken the leadership feat) who, by some miracle, has gotten his leadership score for followers up to 17. The table says 4th Lv *1, 3rd Lv *1, 2nd Lv *3, and 1st Lv *30. Now I'm a muck loving dragonfolk setting up house in a swampy delta, I don't want human (or...

    Dimensional Grapple Escape ?

    Well, I'd think clamped in dragon jaws would count as continuous damage, so the half damage would apply. But at least I have a chance before it drops me from 300 ft to go splat. :heh:

    Psionic Feat - Wild Talent

    Ok thanx. That's what I thought, I just wanted to double check.

    Soulknife's Useless Power Point Reserve ?!?

    I'm afraid you lost me, what difference would that make?

    Help Me Evaluate this Magiked-Up Bolt

    DOH!!! I missed that. I don't think it said that in the 3.0 version. Why? Well my reasoning (for what it's worth) is the spell reads as if it is 'instantly' increasing at the time of impact not at some point after penetration. And unless we're going to try and apply the real world physical...

    Dimensional Grapple Escape ?

    Can a victim use Dimension Door (spell or psionic version) and/or Dimensional Slide to escape from a grapple? Specifically a dragon snatch and carry in this case. I know I'd have to make a pretty tough concentration check because of the damage inflicted. But the power doesn't make some sort of...

    Soulknife's Useless Power Point Reserve ?!?

    I don't mind it being a weak class, 'casue it's just sweet. :cool: It's probably the engineer in me, but I can't stand having abilities or powers of which I can't make at least some use. I usually multi-class anyway just because I like to be able to do a little of everything. :o

    Psionic Feat - Wild Talent

    What is the purpose of the Wild Talent feat? Does a non-naturally psionic race (ex: gnome) have to take the Wild Talent feat to take a Psionic Class? If so, I haven't been able to find it in the book. Does a non-psionic character have to take it to multi-class into a psionic class? Some of the...

    Soulknife's Useless Power Point Reserve ?!?

    A single class Xeph Soulknife gets 1 powerpoint from being a Xeph and 2 powerpoints from gaining the Wild Talent feat as a class ability for a total of 3. However, if I'm reading the rules correctly, he has no way to make use this reserve. He doesn't manifest powers so he has no manifester...

    Help Me Evaluate this Magiked-Up Bolt

    One of my players combined some unique ideas (at least I have'nt heard of them being used like this) into a potentially powerful item. :] {Developed specifically for dragon hunting if you're interested.} Paid a dwarf master weaponsmith to make a humongous crossbow bolt out of Adamantine...
