    Avasculate...

    I don't think it's overpowered. It s a level 7 spell. It shares its level with Simulacrum, Forcecage, Amber Sarcophagus, and Superior Invisibility among others of equal or greater power. Compared to these, Avasculate is pretty tame. Why cast a spell that lowers a mobs hp to half when you...

    Maximized Dispel

    Quick question. Can Dispel Magic be maximized? Most of our group tend to think so. Any input? Storme

    fake familiar

    Animate Dead on a dead cat or something. It would slowly rot if you don't have Disguise Undead spell, so you will want to periodlically make a new one. Make an Effigy cat, bird, etc. An Effigy is a cheap (really cheap) construct. If you make one with, say 1 HD, it will cost about 1000 to...

    challenge rating adjustment for PC wealth?

    That rule is violently broken. I am SO glad 4.0 is doing away with it. It just doesn't work, or make sense.

    How many people in a cohort?

    The topic you are talking about is discussing Cohorts AND followers, as well as hiring Hirelings. The feat gives you ONE cohort and X number of followers. The text makes a few syntax errors. Taking the feat multiple times to get more than one cohort is, quite frankly, something I've never...

    Wisdom to AC ... twice?

    It specificly states they do not stack. Storme

    death from above

    Jumping on top of someone is really a poor tactical move in live combat. Both parties have about an equal chance of getting hurt. One guy told us about a player of his who would weight himself down till he weighed over a ton and teleport above a target and fall on them. Other than the...

    once you start a PrC, can you lose its requirements and still continue the PrC?

    Well, yes and no. No, that's not what I said. And yes, he would be unable to progress further in a class who's primary focus is murder for profit. Only a morally bankrupt individal would consider murder for profit as a good deed...murder for profit "for the cause of good." Hehehe. Whether...

    once you start a PrC, can you lose its requirements and still continue the PrC?

    Each prestige class pretty much talks about this, unless in cases of pure logic. Assassins are evil because (irregardless of justification), killing for profit is an inherently evil act. If you kill for purposes other than profit, you are functioning outside the confines of the class, and are...

    Help my kids make great PCs

    I have little in the way of detail that hasn't already been covered except for one small point: KISS Keep it Strictly Simple As Kids...they are going to LOVE everything that happens as long as it is fun and rewarding. As a result, limit their choices of Feats to Players Handbook. Everything...

    Swordsage with a little bit of Scout

    Actually, I considered doing JUST exactly that, Castro. But I really wanted this guy to have sneak attack since its more in line with his character persona. The DM has allowed me to "rewrite" my old assassin character into modern rules and concepts. And since 3.5 made assassin an incredibly...

    Recharging items, particularly staffs

    I don't have the book in front of me, but I remember reviewing the section mentioned earlier in Unearthed Arcana and I'm "Pretty Sure," that those rules did not apply to recharging magic items, such as refilling a wand or staff with that has half its full charges. My memory however is not...

    Swordsage with a little bit of Scout

    Thanks for the info Castro. I'm SO not a rules guy. You're right, I will have to drop Improved Skirmish and Robilar’s Gambit (which is good news to me, that Gambit thing kinda made me nervice. I might take it at higher level though). Dropping Improved Skrimish drops the damage output by 2d6...

    Swordsage with a little bit of Scout

    Thanks, Griff. That puts my mind at ease. Higher level stuff can be quite complicated. Storme

    Swordsage with a little bit of Scout

    Okay...I just created a character for a high level campaign and I looked at the numbers and was kinda shocked. The results were quite accidental, so I wanted to run this by you geniuses to get your input. Is it clever, or crazy? Level 1 Scout (1d6 skirmish, trapfinding) Level 10 swordsage...

    Anybody using Benign Transposition?

    I often have it memorized but to date have never cast it. Hehe.

    Useless items?

    Clothing are for look, comfort, and utility bro. Just like in real life. A monk outfit is an outfit that is generally worn by monks. A royal outfit is one that is generally worn by royals. A pair of blue pants are blue. Just because they don't confer any abilities doesn't mean no one wears...

    Meta Magic Silent Scrolls

    Scrolls do not require verbal, somatic or material components (these were used/expended in scribing the scrolls). The scroll, however needs to be opened and read. In my game that means outloud. Since silence works on scrolls, this tells me you need to read it aloud. Therefore a silent scroll...

    Kensai Question

    No. If he has a double weapon then he can enhance both ends, but even this is a single weapon. He can't enhance two weapons. It clearly states that. There's nothing wrong with him using two weapons though. Only one will be his signature, probably the one in his primary hand.

    Removing the "Revolving Door of Death"

    I have done the same thing in my Campaign. Realizing that every player makes mistakes, I added a new spell called Torma's Dream. It is basically a version of revivify that can be cast 1 min per caster level after death. The subject and the caster must then convince Torma to raise him...
