    Reserves of Strength

    It becomes a ray, but I don't see how that has any relevance.

    Reserves of Strength

    I'm not sure how those two feats relate to what we are discussing since if spells with a range of touch cannot be persisted, one's which require ranged touch attacks are going to be no different.

    Reserves of Strength

    Thanks. Might I point out that spells with a range of touch cannot be persisted so that suggestion is out the window. (unless I'm missing something.)

    Reserves of Strength

    There is a feat in the Dragonlance campaign setting which does the following: (this is 3.5) "When you cast a spell, you can choose to increase its caster level at the cost of exhausting yourself. Prerequisites: Iron Will, spellcaster level 1. Benefit: When you cast a spell, you can choose to...

    D&D 3E/3.5 [3.5] A Blind Character? Help

    Are you a masochist? Why would you ever want to be blind? And not to mention that in D&D there are a number of ways to cure blindness/deafness. If you are allowed by your DM to choose a character who has eyes, why would you start out otherwise?

    Improving saves

    I was looking for ways to improve my saves and I was wondering if there is a resource or a guide for how to do this. If you want to give suggestions without a link to a guide that's fine too. Thanks. (3.5 by the way.)

    Ways to improve initiative

    I'm looking for ways to improve the initiative of a party as a whole or an individual character. (in 3.5) I came up with three ways. 1: high dex 2: improved initiative 3: rogue taking a level in the PrC Dread Commando from Heroes of Battle which gives a competence bonus to the teams...

    Can two forces be in conflict, both believing themselves to be good?

    "It's not a matter of opinion. There should be no debate." Let's give it up for Mr. Joe Stalin. "I'm saddened that there's debate on this. I'm saddened the mods didn't lock it in the first place." Why? What is your opposition to debate? You seem to be opposed to freedom of speech. We are...

    Can two forces be in conflict, both believing themselves to be good?

    So you are saying that torture is effective but you don't do it because it is evil and you put morality above practicality? And evil persons do it because they put practicality above morality? I think the question of whether evil persons torture or whether they consider it militarily ineffective...

    Can two forces be in conflict, both believing themselves to be good?

    Just a question on torture. Do evil persons torture or do they consider torture to be militarily ineffective also?

    Can two forces be in conflict, both believing themselves to be good?

    I think it is a prerequisite for any sort of conflict whether an actual physical war or a war of ideas so the question arises should churches in D&D be modified so that evil gods and their servants trick people into believing that what they preach is right and moral. Otherwise it would be very...

    Have you ever ripped off an idea & passed it off as your own?

    I borrow constantly from different sources. I never try to pass it off as my own and most of the borrowed material is pretty obvious. For instance, in a homebrew campaign I am designing now the dwarves worship Reorx while the gnomes worship Gond and the minotaurs worship Sargonnas. I also have...

    Can two forces be in conflict, both believing themselves to be good?

    As far as I know, Machiavelli's book is not a satire. I personally doubt that a fat man could stop a train in it's tracks although depending on the 5 persons who were trapped there and whether I could get away with it I might do so. For instance if a loved one were trapped there and I knew...

    Can two forces be in conflict, both believing themselves to be good?

    I'm sure that the equivalent of a Machiavelli exists in those worlds since these principles are universal and apply everywhere. lol.

    Can two forces be in conflict, both believing themselves to be good?

    Information gained by torture in my opinion has to be evaluated in the same way that any information gained by any means has to be evaluated. Now the question is, why is it considered unreliable? Because the person can lie to get out of torture? Lying takes place outside of torture also, that is...

    Of course there is always writing in gnomish to allow it as a sig: ...ifthereisareasonablepossibiltythatthismanknowssomethingitisworthittotorturehim.

    Can two forces be in conflict, both believing themselves to be good?

    Thanks for the idea Filcher, I might in fact use that as my signature. (unfortunately if was too long for use as a sig, apparently it has to be shorter than one life. Odd considering that many signatures I find are longer than a line.)

    Can two forces be in conflict, both believing themselves to be good?

    It is self-defense because you are doing it to save your child's life who will die without your torturing this man. You would not torture this man under normal circumstances, you are only doing it to save your child's life. He is initiating physical force to violate your child's individual...
