I think it's obvious to all, but I am quite enjoying this. The obvious comparison here is to the lvl one Shield spell. This spell has a couple advantages over Shield, but more disadvantages, On the advantage side: The range isn't personal, which means a druid could cast this a couple times...

I'd say throwing in scrolls would be no problem. They suffer the same problem as wands: abilities set at creation time. Staves, though, already act with the wielders abilities and caster level. Create WAnd is minimum caster level 5, and Create Staff is minimum caster level 12. The other big...

New mechanic indeed. Ok, so, I have a Wand of Magic Missiles. I cast Silent Casting, and expend a charge of my wand, and I get a silenced Magic Missile, with variables determined as if by MY abilities, not the wand's (which operate at minimum possible caster level, if I recall)? I don't think...

Please understand, I wasn't actually trying to tell you your spell was bad. I was trying to see if I could find any correlations between your spell and other existing spells that have simlar/related effects, in an effort to help test it. Maybe I didn't make that anywhere nearly clear enough...

Oddly enough, I just today posted an analysis of changing the synergy bonus system to rec.games.frp.dnd this morning. Here's a link to the Google Groups thread if you want to see it in context: http://tinyurl.com/6tyf4

Yep. Several times in games I've played. The first happened at least 15 years ago, in an OD&D campaign. We were defending a castle on a mountaintop against hordes of orcs. At the foot of the mountain was the command tent. So my character and a couple others used up our invisibility potions...

Gotta agree, and add Goblins to Kobolds. In my games Kobolds and Goblins make my players quiver with fear. I was giving them levels back in 1e, long before 3e officially gave me a mechanic to do so cleanly. I play them both as incredibly clever. I figure, how do these little runtlings...

You are suggesting, then, that the your spell is roughly equal in power to Guidance. The reasons must be because Guidance... ...has a duration ...can be used for any skill check, attack roll or saving throw ...only grants a +1 You are suggesting, then, that the your spell is one level in...

I've always felt that any component of the rules that results in as much argument and acrimony as alignment does is a broken part of the rules and needs to be either: 1 - Removed entirely from the game 2 - Expanded significantly with explanations and examples 3 - Revised completely, to remove...

Imagine a thread here on Enworld about whether or not dwarven women have beards. Make it one that NEVER seems to end, racks up 1000 posts, and, for some odd reason, isn't filled with personal attacks, but rather full of scholarship of quality debate. Now, make it be by postal mail so it is...

*rofl* You wouldn't happen to have a link or citation to that, would you? Sounds amusing!

Thanks. I'm a little dissappointed that so many people can't just be amused, though and move on. Obviosuly, I can't control others, and wouldn't if I could (usually), but I didn't intend for this to be another "Let's-Rant-About-PrC-Proliferation' thread. Ah well. I'm off to see if I can find...

Many people, like me, are disturbed by the sheer number of new classes (both Core and Prestige) that are coming out of Dragon and WotC lately. You hear them point to the proliferation of splat books in 2e as something that almost broke the game system. This problem, though, is not entirely...

Gotta say, In no particular order: Roger Moore's 'Point of View' Articles Most of Best of Dragon 1, particularly: - What to do when the Dog eats your Dice - Excerpt from Interview with a Rust Monster - Monkish Combat in the Arena of Promotion (or some such) The Whole Half-Ogre A PC and His...

As a player, I would love it. As a DM, it sounds like a LOT of work. Try to keep a notebook full of side effects of the downtime PC actions, since I imagine the uptime players will eventually run across the same locations... it'd be awesome, as a player, to wander into an evil looking cave and...

Those are really awesome! I'll be stealing that idea!

The only reason I haven't invoked the Favored Enemy machanic much is that the Ranger PC hasn't ever chosen one. When he created it, he asked if he had to choose immediately, and I said no, since I couldn't see the downside. Now I surely can. I can't throw in his favored enemy as a way to make...

That's a great idea. I could do the ARCHER'S BRACER as described, and only tell him about one persistent, and one activated power. Then, as he levels up, let him know about other powers, as they seem suited to him.

I just had a thought: An Archer's Bracer which does something fantabulous. Maybe a 'uses per day mechanic' of some sort, and it has special abilities that each use differnt amounts of uses per day. ARCHER'S BRACER Continuous Powers: All Range increments are treated as one increment closer. (I...

I am about to bring a story arc to completion, and am planning out the Big, Final Encounter, but I'm having trouble thiking of rewards to include for the Ranger. Background: Everyone is 4th level, and will be 5th by the time this portion of the story arc concludes. I plan to design the BBEG...
