Love to drink. Love to game. Goes great together. But not when I am DMing. I have too much on my mind. When I DM, its red bull or coffee. When I'm a player, I can relax a bit more. (Not too much, though! Its never cool to get killed because you weren't paying attention.) Ozmar the Responsible...

Ouch! Good point! I like the idea for using Death Knell. It does look like a tricky situation. So if I use: Ring of arcane might: +1 caster level (20,000gp) Orange Ioun Stone: +1 caster level (30,000gp) Create Magic Tattoo (Spell, Spell Compendium): +1 caster level (300gp and must be 13th...

Rebuking is "as controlling", so I am pretty sure anything that improves your control undead ability also improves your rebuke undead ability.

Create undead is 6th level. I can cast it (I am 12th, but I have an item that reduces my caster level by 1, so casting as 11th level). Create undead can create bigger undead as you gain caster level. To wit: from SRD: Create Undead Necromancy [Evil] Level: Clr 6, Death 6, Evil 6, Sor/Wiz 6...

Cool: Ring of arcane might: +1 caster level (20,000gp) Orange Ioun Stone: +1 caster level (30,000gp) Create Magic Tattoo (Spell, Spell Compendium): +1 caster level (300gp and must be 13th level) Does sanctum spell give you a +1 caster level? Nope. So we're up to +3... kinda pricey. I'll...

Those are good starts. Oooo... I forgot about controlling it. Thanks! And scroll: I want to cast the spell myself so I can apply my corpsecrafter and similar feats. Thanks! Oz

Let's say I am 11th level and want to cast create undead once as a 15th-level caster. Anyone know of a feat or magical item that could give me a one-time boost to caster level for this? Ozmarius the Undead Creator

Maybe the "attempt" means that the penalties are even less binding than those in the lesser geas? In lesser geas, the subject must follow the orders. If he is prevented, he takes damage. In geas, the subject must follow the orders. If he is prevented, and does not attempt to follow them, he...

Well, I suppose this is a matter of rules interpretation, so here's mine: (Emphasis added.) I believe the bold words are key to the correct interpretation of this spell. The target must obey the geas. If he is prevented from doing so, then he suffers the penalties. Of course, ultimately it is...

No, I think you can use the dim anchor on the circle in advance, so there's no issue with this. Hmmm... good point. Thanks! I'll make sure to prep for these kinds of tactics. Maybe I can bind him, and then just leave. And then cast the geas from behind a screen or a hidden location so that he...

To be honest, we don't use it every night. Usu only when camping dangerous locations when we need the rest and know there are violent enemies nearby. Although, with two warforged in the group, and 8 undead minions, its not like we lack for capable guardians while we're resting. Ozmar the Prepared

Evidently. Well, nusuth, no matter. I'll just go ahead and see what my DM's opinion on the matter is. :D I wasn't (or am not) planning to get unlimited, no cost wishes. Initially, I was just curious about whether there was a rules-based reason that this wouldn't work. It seems clear that there...

I wonder if I can wish for immunity to disintegration... Ozmar the Paranoid

I see where you're coming from, but I don't think that's my intent. Its mostly a matter of having this really cool spell (planar binding) and my wanting to actually use it. I feel the same way about similar spells: magic jar, geas, bestow curse. They're very cool spells with lots of flavor and...

Indeed. Well, why bother playing a flawed character with a disturbed background of personal troubles. Why bother going on dangerous adventures which places your character in greater danger and inconvenience, when he could make a fortune casting cure light wounds safely at home? Its basically...

I think the genies collectively look out for each other and send an assassin squad after mortals who do such things. Just a thought.

So how about this? My character is a karrnathi dread necromancer (Ozmarius Necromunda Wormfiend). He's kind of a "dark" character - a daelkyr half-blood, he's obtained 8 different symbionts, including a fiendish familiar that whispers evil thoughts to him. He's been tortured and driven insane...

Hmmm... good point. That "indirect" clause is definitely a sticky one. Ozmar the Thwarted Djinni

Yes. But I'm kind of an evil DM. I'd love to see my players try something like this, because then I'd have fun with all the ways the efreet could come up with to fight back or get revenge. Ozmar the Evil DM

Cool. That's a good thread. Thanks. Some good ideas in there. I'm thinking, from a player's perspective: geas ensures that the efreet will be compliant, and modify memory might be useful to encourage the efreet to forget about this little "incident". Maybe I'll use my third wish for that. From...
