    SPELLS: Enhanced Magic Missile and Superior Magic Missile

    I considered looking at total possible damage for an area effect spell, and using that, but then, you have to try to guess what a reasonable amount of targets would be... A Fireball has a 20 foot radius, so it affects about 44 five-foot squares, doing at lvl 10, 10-60 damage per square, or...

    SPELLS: Enhanced Magic Missile and Superior Magic Missile

    I thought of that, but I wanted to make sure I didn't do better than Acid Arrow... the Enchanced MM does its damage all at once, while the extra damage from Acid Arrow happens over time. Yeah, (assuming you always target a single creature) compared to the original MM, Enhanced Magic Missile...

    SPELLS: Enhanced Magic Missile and Superior Magic Missile

    Int his case it would be 'Ansar', not 'Arnold' :) But you couldn't have known that :) If this were any other character, I'd say you are probably right. Ansar, though, doesn't often think outside the box, if you know what I mean. He has incredible intelligence (Int 20), but he uses it to...

    SPELLS: Enhanced Magic Missile and Superior Magic Missile

    My Wizard PC is thinking of researching some spells in some upcoming campaign downtime (a story arc is ending next session). I'd very much like it if the Hive Mind could tell me if they are too powerful, too weak, or give some other advice. He has made very good use of magic missile of the...

    1st level forever: an experiment

    I wouldn't enjoy playing this game. Spellcasters would never get any spells beyond what they could capture from enemy spell books, or transcribe from scrolls, and even then, there are only so many spells out there at lvl 1 and 0. Plus, they'd only be one shot wimps for the entire game...

    Help! To much to carry.

    By the book, you have 50 coins to a pound, so yeah, that 2000 to 2500 pounds worth of coinage. If this were solid gold, it would be a nice small package though: A cubic foot of gold weighs 1188.6 pounds (avoirdupois). So you'd have between 1.7 and 2.1 cubic feet of gold, if it were all...

    Players Whining that they Should be able to Buy Magic Items

    I did something similar... the party wanted to buy magic items, and a con man found out about it. Now the guy is well meaning, he just isn't very GOOD at making magic items. He rushes their completion... so the items he makes are ... ahem ... defective. Examples: +1 flametongue blade...

    Empower Metamagic Feat question

    Might be just me, but I see (1D4+1)*1.5 + (1D4+1)*1.5 + ... + (1D4+1)*1.5 as being the same as (X)*1.5 + (Y)*1.5 + ... + (Z)*1.5 Which means I can do simple algebra here, to get 1.5*(X+Y+...+Z) The results OUGHT to be the same. If they aren't, I don't know why.

    Looking for ways to houserule exp expenditures for skills and feats.

    All you have to do to handle this is have them keep track of two XP numbers: Earned and Spent. Spent may never exceed earned. Then, rather than advancing in class levels whenever they have enough earned xp, they actually spend xp to level up, as well. Effective character level is based on...

    Reverse Engineering Metamagic Rods

    I've noticed that several portions fo the hive mind are quite talented at the magic item creation rules for 3.5, and hoped to get some help. What I'd like for my character to be able to do is create one time use equivalents of the metamagic rods. For example, rather than creating a rod that...

    Essential Feats?

    As a player playing a mage, BLOOD CASTING is the one feat I think ought to be core, but isn't. I found it in Mongoose's Ultimate Feats. I think it might originate in L&L Spells & Spellcraft. Summary: Prereq - able to cast 3rd level spells or better Benefit - You are able to cast one...
