    Lazy DMs doing stupid things

    To be completly honest, if he had said at the beginning: "No Shifting classes, I do not like them because I think they are too powerful", I would not have cared. I would have said: "OK, fine. No shifting classes." Whether you choose to believe my statement or not is up to you. When we first...

    Lazy DMs doing stupid things

    He never stated why he never looked at them. As I stated, we started playing over the summer, at which point he was taking one class and doing nothing else except perhaps an hour of homework a night and playing computer games. As such, I do feel he was lazy for not looking them up when we...

    Lazy DMs doing stupid things

    Zephyrus: Thank you for supporting me. This is what I was looking for. I will do my best to follow the advice you've given. I also think he should run lower-powered games, but there is no convincing the DM of that. I also think he should have limited everyone to PHB classes only, with no...

    Lazy DMs doing stupid things

    As I said, I have considered quitting. However, as I also said, I do want to avoid having bad mojo between us; we live next door to each other and have been good friends up to this point. As also stated, I cannot find another game in the area to play on; my school isnt big on role-playing...

    Lazy DMs doing stupid things

    I am playing a Warmage, a PRC from Compelte Arcane. The Warmage gets new spells that are in CA, in additon to spells in the PH. However, the spells I am looking forward to using are not in that book; they are in the PH, and, if I was playing a sorcerer instead, I would be using them. Examples...

    Lazy DMs doing stupid things

    My main problem with this is that I can no longer trust the DM. What is going to keep him from doing this again? When does my warmage become too powerful and have to be nerfed? My main fear is that I will start to use spells that I have every right to use and the DM will be like: "I don't...

    That's what I thought, but the decision was his, not mine.

    Lazy DMs doing stupid things

    I realize this, and I don't really mind him putting restrictions on it, I just think he should talk to the player about it first. I think he should say: "I think you are too overpowered and I'm looking for ways to fix it. What would you suggest?" I am 99% sure that my friend would agree to...

    Lazy DMs doing stupid things

    Has anyone had to deal with DMs being too lazy to fix things in thier campagins, then saying: "I don't like the abilities a certain PC has, and I don't want to look for ways to get around them, so I am going to summarily rule that the PC can't do these things." This has just happened to our...

    Do you fear weakness?

    I don't know what kind of spells you are wanting to take (ie-do you want lots of spells like invisibility and telekinesis, or do you want to focus primarily on offensive spells?), but, if you are going to focus on offensive spells, I would advise looking into the Warmage class. It is a core...

    Improved Saving Throws

    I'd actually already swapped it out for the Dusty Rose Ioun stone, but I had not thought of a Ring of Force Shield. However, after all my purchases, I only have 3,100 GP, so I cannot afford one.

    what is the best type and class for newbies

    My advice: Go to the website nittanytbone posted and first read the first 4 sections on the left: Basics, Races & Description, Classes, Skills, and Feats. This will give you a good feel for what kind of character you want to play. As you read the classes section, keep a mental note of which...

    Improved Saving Throws

    What I eventually ended up doing was getting rid of the +4 Full Plate I had, and also knocked my Amulet of Natural Armor and Ring of Protection from +3 each to +2 each. I retooled my character (which has not been used yet - I am creating it for a game on sunday); I am now a 1st-level monk and...

    Improved Saving Throws

    OK, I've found a way around this, and completly changed my Charcter. I took one level in monk and took the ascetic mage feat from complete adventurer. I also got a robe of the archmagi. I am currently not armormed in any way. My question is - does the +5 to Armor Bonus from the robe affect...

    Improved Saving Throws

    I am in full plate though, so my max dex is only going to be +1, no matter what the actual modiefer is

    Improved Saving Throws

    Is there any item, besides a Cloak of Resistance, that will improve my saving throws? I have looked and I have not found one. I am playing a WarMage, and am wearing a Cloak of Charisma, so I do not want to wear a Cloak of Resistance, as I feel the higher save DCs the Cloak of Charisma gives my...

    Using 2 Metamagic feats at once

    Where would I find the rules to support this? I would like to do it, but will need to defend it with my DM, and I would like to be able to point it out in the rulebooks, not just say: "Well, people on the internet said it would take one full action".

    Using 2 Metamagic feats at once

    So, just to make sure I totally understand, applying both metamagic feats to this would only take one full-round action?

    Using 2 Metamagic feats at once

    I am playing a warmage. Would it still be possible?
