    My fighter always gets battered-am I "normal"?

    Good point about the protection from evil! 12 min duration and +2AC/saves for a 1st level slot which would hopefully save him at least 1 converted cure light anyway :D I must bend the cleric's ear about that one! Whoa, I just checked out greater invisibilty and displacement spells. 50% miss...

    My fighter always gets battered-am I "normal"?

    I had to take Toughness for the Defender class plus I don't think the DM is using the extra books. If and when I get more cash I will consider the amulet, but I wonder if amulet of natural armour might not be a more efficient spend?

    My fighter always gets battered-am I "normal"?

    I think I will try this expertise rather than power attack strategy next session or 2. If I try it consistently I will at least get an idea what effect it is having. If my damage is not as important as the mage, maybe its less important to hit well and more important to stay standing for longer...

    My fighter always gets battered-am I "normal"?

    Thanks for the vote of confidence! I think we would have had a couple of deaths if we weren't using the Action Points variant however. (I ought to have been "destructed" (sic) by Hedrack if it wasn't for getting a reroll- funny how with a +13 fortitude save, Sod's Law says you will still fail...

    My fighter always gets battered-am I "normal"?

    Well, that would make sense- I have noticed that the mage can really smash the opposition's hit points in short order and I was thinking that that ought to be my job as a fighter. But, the way you describe it is more like it is in reality- I soak up the damage, dish out reasonable damage...

    My fighter always gets battered-am I "normal"?

    Sounds like an adolescent angst post, but I am playing my first 3.5 fighter in RttToEE. By my old 1st ed perceptions he is rock hard with AC 29 and 145hp, but after almost EVERY battle he is in dire need of healing. The monsters hit him almost without fail, and since 3rd ed monsters do more...

    PC on PC action!

    Wow- you obviously had great players, great DM'ing skill and the fates on your side. I'm glad it worked out so well for you and your group. I think if others tried such a story line, there are a million things that could rapidly spoil things, either in-game or out of game. I don't think I would...

    Iron Heroes...what's your opinion?

    Question about standard D&D adventure compatibility with Iron Heroes I like the sound of IH. For those who are into it:- 1) Could I run IH characters through a "standard" D&D adventure just by altering/removing magic items' availability? 2)Or are existing NPC spellcasters for example going...

    Shackled City stat blocks-how best to use them

    Seems like a good idea- nice one

    Shackled City stat blocks-how best to use them

    Nice to "see" you, Eric. Even though I have the Dungeon mags, I still feel the Shackled City hardcover was a good investment. Well done you guys! Now I have shamelessly sucked up, what's the chance of getting the stat block appendix in a PDF on Paizo's website? I have no idea how much this would...

    Shackled City stat blocks-how best to use them

    Having been very favourably impressed with the Shackled City adventure path compilation, I have nevertheless been concerned with the stat blocks all being in the appendix! At first glance this seems good as it doesn't "distract" from the overview of the scenario. However, on further...

    Shackled City: In My Hands

    Well, if you were really desperate to avoid a volcano, I suppose the catastrophe that the bad guys trigger could be an earthquake or something- you'd have to do a little tweaking but it shouldn't be impossible. Same goes for the wands of control water to keep the lake down- perhaps they could...

    Your preferred name for the Queen of Spiders

    Now, THAT'S blasphemy! :p

    Your preferred name for the Queen of Spiders

    Heck, I didn't think to put that as an option. Really sorry. In fact, as you are in contact with Yoth herself I will go further and humbly beg your pardon :D Is she anything to do with the Cthulhu mythos (you know- all that Yoth/shog/sothoth stuff)?

    Your preferred name for the Queen of Spiders

    I don't speak Welsh, but I do live in the City of Chester right on its borders. LL in Welsh is rather like you are clearing your throat, ready to spit ;) Blackadder put it well, when he said you need half a pint of phlegm in your throat to speak it :D Personally I love the Welsh, but...

    Your preferred name for the Queen of Spiders

    Since this came up in another thread, but was off-topic, how about we vote on it? Lloth is the FR name, used by Salvatore and Cunningham, FOR THE DROW WAY OF PRONOUNCING HER NAME (which is how they got away with it, I think). FWIW I agree with them and much prefer it, as it somehow feels...

    History - Tell me about the GDQ series (Giants, Drow, Queen?)

    Yes, Lloth is the FR name, used by Salvatore and Cunningham, FOR THE DROW WAY OF PRONOUNCING HER NAME (which is how they got away with it, I think). FWIW I agree with them and much prefer it, as it somehow feels linguistically better to my ears. After all, these 2 authors have pretty much...

    History - Tell me about the GDQ series (Giants, Drow, Queen?)

    Elder elemental Eye/Tharizdun Don't forget that in the super-module version (IIRC not in the separate modules) the plot was reworked to include the Cult of the Elder Elemental Eye (which was reworked again in 3rd edition as a front for...eeek..Tharizdun. This was used to explain the true...

    When do Outsiders actually DIE (for real)

    Uh huh. So, it looks like I must be getting the (wrong) idea from 1st/2nd edition, then. From what you are saying, the Bebilith corpse should have remained lying there, but if it had summoned allies from the Abyss, then they would have disappeared back to whence they came on "death." Sounds...

    When do Outsiders actually DIE (for real)

    I am sure it says in the rules somewhere, but I can't find it. So, when do demons etc actually get killed permanently and when do they merely get sent back to the home plane? One of my players killed a Bebilith single handed last session and I had it disappear on death. It made for a bit of...
