That's a rather unusual way to look at it. The usual interpretation is that the person is somehow changed by being turned into a vampire, not that they're two entirely different beings. If they are entirely different, why can't the vampire and a True Resurrection of the original person...

As I said, it seems like the best way to adjudicate the situation would be to require the stat-boosting item be there whenever the character is interacting with his followers. So if he takes the cloak off to bathe, it's not a problem - he doesn't have to enforce loyalty while he's bathing...

See the thread title. "Wish via a Spell-like ability, any limit on XP spent?" Since they are remarkably similar creatures anyway, it is quite likely that any conclusions about the Efreeti should also apply to the Noble Djinn. Thus, we resolve the clear and move from there to the unclear.

Oh, Faerun. What unbalanced things won't you introduce?

His point was that the issue at hand has less to do with Noble Djinn in particular than with Wish as a spell-like ability in general. Since precisely how a Noble Djinn creates its Wish effect is undefined, we can move the specifics to the Efreet, whose method is well-defined as a spell-like...

There are two absolute limits - that enforced by your character level, and that enforced by your leadership score. As your level goes up, the latter takes on greater and greater importance. While it is true that at level 3, you can get your level-based maximum of 1 even with an 8 charisma...

Nope, that's about it. Unless you want to play a human between 53 and 70 years old. Then you'll get +2 to INT, WIS, and CHA, and -3 to STR, DEX, and CON.

As someone posting on the internet, I am of course significantly above average in all personal characteristics.

Unless, say, you're level 10 with a 13 charisma. But how likely is that to happen? Also. Leadership score 10 gives a maximum cohort level of 7. Leadership score 15 gives a maximum cohort level of 10. Leadership score 20 gives a maximum cohort level of 14.

Based on the fact that a Belt of Giant Strength can qualify you for Power Attack (as long as it is worn), I would say that a Cloak of Charisma increases your leadership score as long as it is worn. Effectively, as long as it's being worn whenever the character is interacting with his cohort or...

Anything for the American Way?

Actually, the default rule is that you only need the prerequisites in order to take the first level, making the rules introduced in CW a rather extreme change. "Unlike the basic classes, characters must meet Requirements before they can take their first level of a prestige class." "If a...

Does dragon disciple actually have an epic progression? It seems rather complete, by level 10. Unless you actually want to turn into a regular dragon, I suppose.

Strange. It didn't work like that before, unless I'm mistaken. Even the previous paragraph seems to pose a bit of a contradiction - it says that "An alignment change, levels lost because of character death, or the loss of a magic item that granted an important ability are examples of events...

If I were you, I'd give him half-elf vision instead - low-light vision, and +1 on spot and search checks. I mean, actually punishing someone for using a wish is pretty nasty, isn't it?

Nah, I meant the orbs in particular. They're basically just evocation spells that don't allow SR. But yeah, summons are one approach that can definitely work. Conjuration doesn't have that much in the way of spells to smack someone down in particular, but even when you stay away from the orb...

Only with the wish spell?

Unless you can actually find such a passage, I have to disagree. Epic items are magic items. Wish creates magic items. That's all there is to it.

In terms of overall consequences, that's probably a good way to handle it - the players don't feel cheated, but they also don't end up with a campaign-destroying super-artifact. Technically, though, I would point out that it says that wish creates the magic item.

There's a rather limited selection, and they're pretty cheesy?
