    A kinder, gentler vorpal weapon.

    We ran into the same problem of a vorpal being overpowerful. One of the players doesn't have the books, so another player rolled up two extra characters for our beginning 20th level campaign. One of them wasn't really intended for a PC character, though, and was powergaming to the max...

    Sneak Attack as a Feat

    Actually, not even that high. If you figure that spot is a cross-class skill for a lot of classes, that would give you a max at 20th level of 11. So the max would be +2d6. If you want to do that, you could require +3 BAB for each time it's taken. This would allow a fighter (who SHOULD be...

    Permanancy and Protection from Arrows

    Then why not a permanent improved invis? Granted, it would probably be insanely expensive in terms of XP cost. And I could see some issue cropping up when you friends can't find you. And imagine the carnal activities...The person you're with would get some REALLY odd looks if anyone saw them.

    Hitting to subdue and criticals

    I did that one time. In our second edition game, my character was trying to subdue our last opponent to question him because we needed some information. So I roll to strike him with the flat of my blade (effectively subdual, though that wasn't in the 2e rules). What did I roll but a critical...

    Selling Magic Items

    In regards to the example of selling the item at 85% of it's value when he only needed 80%. It really depends on how it's set up. I.E. Is there a pricetag on the item? If so, then it would be silly for someone to pay more. Or is it more like make me an offer type thing. The person came in...

    good "default" spell list for a high level wizard

    At a suggestion I received, I've decided to make up multiple default lists, depending on what we're expecting ahead of us for the day. something like this: Travelling - spells most useful for travelling and maybe the occasional wilderness encounter Cities - spells more useful in a city or...

    good "default" spell list for a high level wizard

    Oh well, it's done now. Plus, as I said, I wanted the INT bonus to AC. Since I AM primarily wizard, I'm not going to have a huge reserve of hit points. It makes things a lot easier if they can't hit me to begin with. Plus I don't have to worry about being hit while casting and losing my...

    Multiple moons and tidal forces

    Well, obviously it would have to be programmed correctly, which would require an understanding both of the math involved and the programming. As for a six body system requiring a super computer to calculate, I doubt it. In the days of the PC-XT, maybe, but not with these multi-gigahertz...

    Multiple moons and tidal forces

    Again, though, computers don't care much about the math. BUT, you also would have to figure in mass, distance, etc into all that. But, once again, it IS doable. Just don't do it by hand, that's all. I wouldn't be surprised if there's a computer program or a java applet somewhere to do all...

    good "default" spell list for a high level wizard

    Okay, yeah, spellsword. I was thinking bladesinger. The reason that I chose that (in metagame reasoning at least) was the massive +12 AC bonus I get from my 34 INT. :-) That and I wanted to be able to add some melee combat ability for my character image I had in mind. :-) But, as I said...

    good "default" spell list for a high level wizard

    Unfortunately the character is already set up, so I wouldn't be able to change it. Regardless, I need to be level 17 to get the 9th level spell slots (spell level * 2 - 1). I absolutely plan to get a permanent see invisible done just as soon as I get the game time to do so. That durned white...

    good "default" spell list for a high level wizard

    Pretty much any WOTC stuff is fine, we just didn't have the T&B available to us right now. The player who has that book is gone for the next couple of months and I'm too broke to buy it right now. Anything else, he'd have to look at and approve first, but as long as it's reasonable and not...

    good "default" spell list for a high level wizard

    Okay, here goes. The list is pretty long. I spent a LOT of gold buying extra spells. Something like 130,000 gp (or more) I think by the time I scribed them. I was in a bit of a hurry and trying to do this at work, so I just sorta glanced at the short description and was like, oh, that looks...

    good "default" spell list for a high level wizard

    We've started an epic campaign, starting at 20th level. I'm playing a Ftr1/Wiz17/Bladesinger2. Mostly I'll be doing the magic thing, but also reserving the ability to cast divine power (having the cleric cast it into my ring of spell storing) followed by Tenser's Transformation to open up a...

    Houseruling absent players

    We've got six players counting the DM, so it's not terribly unusual for someone not to be able to make it, but we're all usually pretty reliable. If one player isn't going to be able to make it (and we know ahead of time), has to leave early, etc, they will usually just hand their character...

    Wizzie/Sorc vs Bladesinger vs Spellsword @ level 20. Help please!

    Well, only 17 of her levels are wizard levels. But, yeah, I see your point. So, I've got a 34 INT right now, so I get the following spells/level: 4,7,7,7,7,6,6,5,4,2 What spells would you guys recommend memorizing each day. Ditto for buffing spells at the beginning. I've only got empower...

    Multiple moons and tidal forces

    Hey, guys. I posted a request for help on another (astronomy related) board I hang out on. You can find the thread right here. http://www.badastronomy.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?topic=2617&forum=1&0 Hopefully that will get the help you need

    Wizzie/Sorc vs Bladesinger vs Spellsword @ level 20. Help please!

    Well, there was no valid RP reason for my character to HAVE GMW cast. We had just arrived in Union (we're planar travelling) from Greyhawk when a white slaad attacked with a fireball. He was actually attacking our Monk PC who had something he wanted. Well, my wife's cleric and my character...

    Wizzie/Sorc vs Bladesinger vs Spellsword @ level 20. Help please!

    I did that last night. But I forgot to cast greater magic weapon first, so I was stuck with a +2 bonus (for the sword being adamantine) on a +5/35 DR creature. Not that it mattered anyways. It turned invisible on me and ended up running away. Dang it, I gotta figure out the best spells for me...
