    Reccomend me a PC game

    Seconded, including not having played it. It is getting awesome love all over the web. I really want to play it, but know that I will become hopelessly addicted. Must avoid for my own good.

    What's keeping you from using a Virtual Tabletop?

    couldn't vote, I imagine it's because I'm not registered, and not bothering. If I'm playing online, I'd rather play an MMORPG. I don't know any of my friends who would want to PbP or PbE; I've asked. They all want to get together, get stupid drunk, get social, make rash judgments and colossal...

    Tome of Battle - Book of 9 Swords

    I use a box of obsolete business cards and write each maneuver on the back. Having physical cards to keep track of maneuvers makes everything much much much easier. (And having them be of uniform size helps in random draws of crusaders' maneuvers) Furthermore, I make index-card "tents" for...

    demolition crystal plus crippling strike

    The rogue IMC has a demolition crystal, which allows her to sneak attack constructs. She just picked up the crippling strike special ability which deals Strength damage with each sneak attack. Should I allow her to deal Strength damage to constructs, which are usually immune to ability damage...

    What can protect PCs from Blasphemy with incredibly high CL?

    eek! Thanks for the clarification. I'm getting sloppy.

    Ebon Eyes vs. Darkvision

    Yeah, that's how I take it. Strips away the "shadowy" part of shadowy illumination. I assume this essentially negates the effects of the darkness spell.

    What can protect PCs from Blasphemy with incredibly high CL?

    tut, tut. Adding six levels of sorcerer does not increase racial hit dice. It's still a CL14 blasphemy.

    What can protect PCs from Blasphemy with incredibly high CL?

    I agree with you in general, and I futhermore believe that the RAW agree with you on this point. However, we are discussing a peculiar creature here, and one can argue that the effect may originate from a different part of this creature's anatomy (especially when descriptive theatrics creep...

    What can protect PCs from Blasphemy with incredibly high CL?

    As the DM of a party that will knock on the Bastion's front door next week, I cannot help but giggle. Note that Blasphemy's range is a mere 40', and Colossal creatures occupy much of that real estate. I think a one-round TPK is nigh impossible, and I like the...

    Pointers To Polymorph

    har har, Nifft I thought that only the abilities that pointed to polymorph were changed to point to alternate form instead. But polymorph still stands on its own. That's how I play it, and it has never gotten too crazy. Just remember that Outsider is not on the list of acceptable types...

    Scroll of Revivify

    This exact issue came up in my campaign. The cleric always fills one of his spell slots with revivify. Problem solved. I haven't read the Rules Non-Errata Update..err, I mean, Compendium, but from what I have seen on this board it looks like that book is a big pile of crap.

    Calm Emotions; how would you rule this?

    You should make this a "this aura affects creatures once per 24 hours" effect, like a dragon's Frightful Presence. Otherwise, how you worded it makes it more like a constantly refreshing sanctuary effect, and possibly not the flavor that I would envision for this kind of guy. YMMV.

    Multiple Fast Healing abilities from different source

    i can think of an example where they would stack (I skipped a dozen or so posts in this thread, so please forgive me if I am restating what someone else said.) Something with fast healing on the positive energy plane would stack. So a five-headed hydra would get 15 from its own metabolism and...

    lingering high jump

    If I am left hanging in midair at the end of a round that I am jumping (say, over a chasm that is longer than my remaining move), then I'm just...hanging there, right? I don't fall because if my jump check is long enough for me to keep going, then it is split across the round boundary. What if...

    Turning Evil

    There are two ways to interpret the Neutral aspect of CN: 1) Teetering on the balance between Good and Evil, performing one Good act for each Evil act or vice-versa. 2) Ignoring the Good-Evil spectrum entirely. If option #1 is cumbersome, and your deity/cleric don't actually care about the...

    Help me flesh out ship's crew

    ...all...PC...classes...head...hurts... And there are four gestalt NPCs mixed in there. I thought the "gestalt" label got affixed to the campaign, not to each character. um, yeah, unless this is a strange circumstance (and adventures usually are), the power-to-crew ratio is entirely too high...

    Price this?

    66,250 gold pieces. Unless you think that's too much. But that's the most I would charge for such an item. (priced at one hundred days of full benefit)
