    [Epic] For all you math majors out there

    I'm trying to calculate the starting wealth of a 100th level character. The chart on page 23 of the ELH only goes up to 40th, and gives no formula for calculating above that level. After several failed attempts at trying to find a pattern (even resorting to my graphing calculator to find a...

    10th Level Hunter of the Dead, Enervation & Energy Drain

    It's simply clarifying that the HotD still loses levels if he/she casts spells with an XP cost, or other similar situations. I'd hate to see a HotD going around throwing Wishes everywhere, thinking he's immune to the level loss of the spell. (Nothing in the rules say you die if you drop to 0...

    What's your highest total L1 pre-racial stat sum?

    How does bragging about your stats have anything to do with D&D rules? Anyway, I'm in full agreement with Pax. Point buy is much better then random rolling. (Besides, most dice rollers I've encountered never give me anything higher then 15 anyway.)

    The problem with Cohorts !!

    I've always thought of Cohorts as sort of lieutenants to generals. They follow their "lord" and do as he/she commands. When the PC goes on an adventure, the Cohort is simply a guard, and never really gets a vote in the party's decisions. And don't forget the followers associated with the...

    Cat's Grace: Not a Cleric spell?

    I always thought Clerics were good at healing...... Anyway, yes it's true, Cat's Grace is not a Cleric spell. It does, however, exist as a Domain spell (Elf comes to mind). Clerics aren't known for their dexterity. Which is probably why the creators opted to keep it off their spell list...

    spell casters

    Ah, another good reason to splash that one level of ranger. Thanks Hypersmurf. Now if only I can justify taking a level of barbarian without looking like an idiot...

    D&D 3E/3.5 Scry skill gone in 3.5e

    I agree, Scry is not one of my first choices as a skill. As a low level wizard, I have to ask myself "Do I want to 'waste' skill points in a skill that I can't use until XX level, which this character may never reach anyway?" If I were playing a high-level wizard, I may go ahead and splash a...

    Casting Identify from a scroll

    Yes, I knew that when I made the post out. But thank you for informing those less knowledgeable.

    Casting Identify from a scroll

    DMG pg 175 Using Items: "Activating a magic item is a standard action unless the item indicates otherwise. However, <b>the casting time of a spell is the time required to activate the same power in an item</b>, whether it's a scroll, a wand, or a pair of boots, unless the item description...

    Empower a Summon

    (1d4+1) x 1.5 And dont forget, always round down. :D

    Improved Initiative x2

    Improved Initiative does not stack with itself. Otherwise, what would be the point of the epic feat "Superior Initiative"? If you receive the Improved Initiative feat from multiple sources, it only applies once.

    Polymorph into a dragon

    An elf does not polymorph into a dragon of the same age. Treat the different age categories as different creatures you can polymorph into. You can choose any dragon of any age category that you meet the HD and size conditions for.

    Dragons and Caster Level

    Since the cleric spells are cast as arcane spells, I would say that the dragon only knows a number of spells as a 5th level sorcerer, but can choose from any list of wizard, cleric, and the domains listed. Dragons are powerful creatures.

    Where to spend Fighter skill points- what do you think are good skills for a fighter?

    Don't bother with Profession. It's cross-classed for fighters. You won't have a good enough skill check to make that much cash. *watches the flood of people race for their PHB*

    Caster tactics to escape grappling

    Yet another thing to add the list of "Contingency triggers that don't make sense" :) No offense meant. A wizard character of mine wears a vest of escape and keeps several oils of slipperiness handy if he has time to prepare. Dimension Door and Teleport are the best bets (and I doubt the...
