    Ripping apart the ELH...

    Pg. 87: the cost to develop the epic spell, "Superb Dispelling" is entirely too high. It's listed as 3,771,000 gp and 143,640 xp. By my reckoning it should weigh in at 531,000 gp and 21,240 xp.

    What is the best way to create effective Monk only with core rules?

    try this my server is being affected by a dos attack against someone else on the network, but you may be able to get to the site: Expected Damage Calculator I made this a while ago. It will do calculations for average damage. It works well for monks, just run it once with the numbers for...

    Immovable Rod Monkey Bars?

    I guess I'll be the one to spoil the fun. Mage Hand only works on "Nonmagical, unattended" objects. Seeing as the rod in this case was both magical and attended, this wouldn't have worked in a by the book sense. However, if your DM is like mine, if it's creative enough, anything is likely to...

    Permanency scroll cost

    Why not just have the scribing of permanency scroll be the same as any other spell of the same level and then have the person who uses the scroll incur the XP cost. Seems fair enough to me.

    Simulacrum Question

    According to my standard method of determining if something can be dispelled or not, Simulacrum cannot be. The Duration entry for Simulacrum says it's instantaneous. Therefore, there is nothing to dispel. You cast the spell, it makes the simulacrum, the spell ends, the simulacrum remains.

    Deities and Demigod: crudy rules!?!?

    that's incorrect sorry ruleslawyer, that's incorrect. they are treated as 20's, yes, but the book also specifies that the roll must still be made to determine criticals. this means they never blunder, but they don't critical on every attack. they still have to roll the d20 for that.

    Sorceror Spell Selection

    i know a sorceror can cast a lower level spell by using a higher level slot, that much is outlined in the PH. But can a sorceror learn a lower level spell in place of a higher level one? For instance, I have a 6th level spell that I am able to learn because I just leveled up. Can I learn a...

    Feeblemind and Spell-like abilities

    i'm away from home right now Wow, quite the response I see. This whole discussion has turned rather heated. But it has also opened up lots of other questions about feeblemind. Does anyone feel like summarizing these issues that have risen and sending them off to the sage for some sort of...

    Feeblemind and Spell-like abilities

    oops my mistake on the intelligence of zero. it does in fact drop it to one, and that's how we played it. that was just a brain fart i guess. what she ended up doing was teleporting back to a safe place, which we presumed to be her room or some other place that she was intimately familiar...

    Feeblemind and Spell-like abilities

    Last night, we ran into this situation in our high level campaign: We were battling a Marilith (pg. 42 MM) and I succesfully got off a feeblemind against this thing, to keep it from doing anything nasty (I was not previously familiar with it so I had no idea what it was going to do). Anyways...

    Are the boards slower than before?

    Well, from what I can tell, enworld is running Windows/IIS. These new boards run under PHP. Unfortunately, PHP's performance under windows is far from what it is under linux or bsd and other similar operating systems. In my experience, the PHP ISAPI implementation is buggy and the CGI...

    Improved Critical worth it?

    the truth Unfortunately, most people overestimate the value of improved critical. It is most useful against opponents with low armor classes. This stems from the fact that you must actually hit them to turn your threat into a critical. If you go up against someone with an armor class of 1000...
