Crazy (Soverign) Glue. :D So here's the deal. You're forced into melee combat with a powerful melee adversary. Because, let's face it, if you're running across the Tarrasque in the basement of an inescapable dungeon, the DM's basically saying, "I'd like you to fight the Tarrasque, please."...

The Dragon Compendium includes the Gauntlets of Heartfelt Blows. 12,000 gp to add your Charisma bonus to attacks as Fire damage. Doesn't cost turn attempts, though. But might compare with Divine Might gauntlets - damage is elemental (whereas Divine Might is "pure"), but doesn't require a Turn...

Actually, I mostly fear it as a nerf to Fighter-types. While the Save DC of a 6th or 9th level spell isn't too hard, it's not like Fighters have an admirable Will save... Specific to your solution, it invented an entirely new mechanic - the %-versus-chart mechanic. One of the advantages of D&D...

Can the Goliath take a hit? At only 9 HD, unless he's done VERY well for HP (or has an astronomical CON), he's probably T-Kibble. Your Changeling has the same problem, more-or-less. Can either of them actually damage the Tarrasque, through his DR? Figure your Cleric casts Heal every round...

What level are you? Frankly, my 20th-level PCs found him very under-impressive. He does giant fat quantities of damage and is (pretty much) immune to magic - but if you park two buffed-up tanks in front of him and just whack him while the Cleric keeps you fulled healed, he's a bit of a...

My players put up defenses against the majority of "big boom spells". I appreciate your suggestion, and certainly, some casters agree that "the best defense is a strong offense". ;) I've decided to go with this (inspired by suggestions above): At third level, there's Dispel Magic, Lesser...

My problem with Turn Undead has always been twofold: 1) It's non-intuitive. It's the only part of the game (essentially) where you roll for success on a chart, not against a DC or against an opponent's check. And undead don't get a save - they either are, or are not, turned. 2) It's...

Hmmm... I like it, sorta. Mostly. I don't like the "all-or-nothing" element of it, though - if the save fails, all spells go "poof"? Ooch. I did immediately think, "gets one spell for each point above the DC" - so if the PC has a CL 15th effect, making the DC 26, and the BBEG gets a 30...

This is a conversation my players and I had, when they neglected a plot and an BBEG became waaaay too strong for them to handle. They were surprised and shaken by the events. In the discussion, I made it clear that (1) there was always a way to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat, and (2)...

Hello! My players and I enjoy a high-powered, high-fantasy, spell-slingin' style of game. We engage in heavy roleplaying and fantastical combats, generally with high-point-buys and Gestalted characters. We've played from levels one to twenty-eight, and ironed out the kinks we've found for...

C'mon, Age of Worms hardcover... Or, really, anything else mentioned in this thread, to be honest...

Man, another reason to wish I was rich. :( Good luck finding the financing. ...aaaaaaaaaaaand I'll post just to keep you up near the top of the page. Bumppity!! :lol:

In my campaigns, we were having a problem with Rogues not being able to sneak attack often enough to make the class worthwhile - I had / have a tendency to use Barbarians as the enemy melee class. I've gone with what one might call a "strict interpretation" of the Uncanny Dodge ability vs Sneak...

Wow. Who'd of thought this would be my first post? It being a World of Darkness game, where the characters are, in fact, explicitly descendents of a man cursed by God (Caine) - and not just any ol' God, but specifically the Christian God, from the Bible - objections that the Bible doesn't...
