I agree with Green Slime on seeing an invisible persons square. You can let the player enjoy it while he has it, one dispel magic or greater dispel can take the permanent effect off and then it is just XP lost. Even with rings of counterspell loaded with one of those two spells, most of my...

Most of the smackdown part of Fighter versus PsyWar has been expressed above, but Id like to add one point from a party point of view. Im currently playing a PsyWar who has just reached level 9, and despite all the powers I'm finally getting most of my power points goes into vigor with...

This reading this thread it occurs to me why I enjoy playing my current psychic warrior. It is a class that relys on its spells but only gets a small allotment per day compared to full casters from this edition. Having the right spell for the right opportunity was one of the things I...

Most combinations for hexblade seem to revolve around using the the first 3 or 4 levels as it comes across as a very front loaded class. Im my party we currently have a hexblade/rogue as this is a pairing of classes that work very well together. It also seems a good prelude to going a Dragon...

Ah, DM'd this twice and played part of it once. First time the party completed it in a real "kill them and take their stuff" non-roleplaying way while I was in High school. The second time was with a party that was over two thirds part thief. The second game was fest of rolling hijacks and...

If you have access to the Expanded Psionics Handbook (or SRD), a Psychic Warrior or Wilder archer with a deep crystal bow and the psionic archery feats supplimenting the normal bow feats would be interesting. The PsyWar giving more feats and the Wilder having more power points to keep the bow...

Hrm, my own SRD search came up nothing. *kicks computer* :)

You mean Imprisonment? I don't think Ive seen a 3.x version of it, but it wouldn't be hard to convert, although it may now be epic?

I have been playing a PsyWar for a while as well (level 8 right now) and one thing about them is they are limited as Piratecat noted, but its very heavily influenced by the number of fighters per game day and the ability to read your DM. My character mainly only uses 30-40hp vigors and...

Hi, I have been poking around with it for a few days. Is there any easy way to find opponents or have I missed something? Dilwar Sureway is my character btw :)

A few random comments: If you are about sneak attacking then all the ray spells that psions get are great for appling sneak attacks on the first round. If you aren't so worried about the sneak attack progression Rogue/Psion can get into the Elocator prestige class which is just made as...

What about summoning or creating something that is good at grappling and immune to crits to grab him? Large elementals or a big undead critter maybe. Alternatively make a pile of shadows and send them in then watch his strength drop.

A big thing that has always bothered me about DnD at mid to high levels is how destructive magic is versus buildings. With DnD magic around would people even build something like a castle? With the cost of building versus easy penetration/destruction large fortifications seem to be a loosing...

I would Love to get to use my Stargate SG1 books, its a setting just made for a RPG. :) Too bad most of my players are more fantasy oriented.

Although I haven't had a character use poison in 3.x in previous editions I also had a druid who favoured the use of sleep, paralysis or confusion poisons. I just called them herbs/drugs/infusions and this let me get past most of the bias against poisons. If a poison is really a drug that...

For city maps there is always Blaeu's Tooneel der Steden. Great scans of maps from a book made in 1652. Each map is basically a work of art. http://grid.let.rug.nl/~welling/maps/blaeu.html

Something similar to this would be to change over two-bladed sword to getting improved critical Light Mace and getting the Lightning Mace Feat from the Complete Warrior. Lots of attacks is lots of chances to get a threat and every threat is another swing, all with sneak attack added on in...

Continuing a tangent that accurred to me in the Powerful build thread. Does a reach weapon ever cease being a reach weapon in a creatures hands? Every reach weapon in the core rules is a twohanded weapon signifying its large size to extend the area threated around a character. But a weapon...

To go further with this point, is a Half Giant treated as both a medium and large creature for use of weapons? Can the ability to do both be mixed? If his build lets him use both sizes it opens a number of interesting/disturbing doors. If he can use a large longsword or a medium greatsword...
