    SKR's problem with certain high level encounters

    What really gets up my nose isn't Mr SKR's rant about the effigy; Its the way he insults the memory of the poor teenager killed in Hawaii. Publicly. Seriously, Mr Reynolds didn't you do anything stupid when you were young and discovering the world? Underestimating the forces at work in Nature...

    How many books should a game setting require?

    How much knowledge is enough knowledge? How much detail is really required? A campaign world description is quite easily handled in one book, IMHO. Is the game more fun because you get a hernia lugging around your books? Or is it because of the company and imagination of the participants...

    Would you leave your life behind?

    There is so much I have yet to do here, on this world. And I don't think I could stand the intraparty conflicts about how to open the dungeon door... And Illithids eat your brain... And when you are dead, you can't make the other party members ressurect you... Now if I could choose my...

    Spell focus + clerics

    For a first level cleric planning on being an offensive spelluser, I'd take Spellcasting Prodigy and Spell Focus:Enchantment. Then Greater Spell Focus: Enchantment at 3rd level. Spellcasting prodigy will, if your Wisdom is 18, grant you an extra 1st level spell (not to be sneezed at), and...

    Epic Question #1

    Well, I think there is little cause for panic A 40th level fighter has chosen 34 feats. Of these 34 feats; 10 are "Epic Fighter", 11 are "Fighter", 6 are "Epic Feats", and 7 are "normal feats". A 40th level Barbarian has 18 feats. 7 "normal feats" 6 "Epic Feats" 5 "Epic Barbarian feats" A...

    Telepath Skills/ Intimidate

    Pose a question about paladin behaviour... That always illicits a good number of responses. Try: "My paladin brutaly slaughtered orc children with his Rusting toothpick, after they had surrendered." Regarding your Original question; Telepaths are already one of the more powerful varieties of...

    Epic Question #1

    A 20th level Fighter, 1st level Wizard would have max ranks of 11,5 (cross class skill for Fighter ) + 2 (wizard skill points) + X (Intelligence bonus due to 1st level Wizard). So in order to meet the Spellcraft (24 ranks) requirement for Epic Spellcasting, he'd need an Intelligence of 32...

    Is poison use inherently evil?

    My take is that the use of Poison is a NON-good act. A point to consider: The only core Classes that gain the Poison use ability (ability to apply poisons to a weapon without running the risk of poisoning themselves) are EVIL: Blackguard, Assassin. So if you are CN, N, LN, LE, NE, or CE in my...

    Most useful magic items for a 5th wizard

    Now the Boccob's Blessed Book thing requires DM-interpretation: Caster Level: 7th; Prerequisites: Craft Wondrous Item, secret page; Market Price: 9,500 gp; Weight: 1 lb. Some DM's follow the Caster Level as a requirement. You are also assumed to have the Secret Page spell, which is a third...

    Epic Feats that Aren't

    I think the idea is that many epic feats, only truly start to shine when they have been stacked together. One Epic Level feat in and of itself isn't too impressive. But once you have picked out 5 or 6, then you are starting to rock. Add in the bonus feats for Epic Class levels and then you are...

    (Yet another) Paladin behaviour question

    I agree with Celtavain. Mind you, it is Westwind's game, and that is only the feeling I get from what has been posted here. So no insult is intended to Westwinds game, which is after all just a game meant to be enjoyed, and it seems like they are doing that, so something is being done right...

    Telepath Skills/ Intimidate

    Maybe because someone thought they'd be too powerful? What with the Telepath's high Charisma, and Various feats for boosting Bluff, A low level Telepath can easily make the king believe he (the king) has smoke coming out of his (the king's) posterior, and that he (the king) should retire to...

    (Yet another) Paladin behaviour question

    I really don't see why the Paladin even had to move from his Castle. Spies could have easily ascertained the identity of the evil-doers, as they are all busy bragging about their deed in "Tent City". After compiling a list of names, you present the Tent City with an Ultimatum: "Surrender these...

    Nauseated; what to do?

    So you would have the Strength damage disappear after 10 minutes? I have the Strength Damage last as normal Temporary Ability Damage, and the nausea affect lasting 10 minutes. And this is a killer. At least one character is out of the fight everytime they challenge Troglodytes. The range...

    (Yet another) Paladin behaviour question

    But the PALADIN should follow what is just, as he is a paragon of Good and Law. Irrespective of what Fighters who follow the same god would do (and are not bound with such strictness to Good and Law. But the presence of a legal in the bandit Kingdom is irrelevant: The Paladin should be...

    Nauseated; what to do?

    IMC, the heroes (6th level) are at present battling troglodytes. Fighting troglodytes, one suffers from Nausea after missing a save... So how are the PC's to get rid of this effect? I assume the only core-legal method is Heal. No mention of combatting Nausea is mentioned in the Remove Poison...
