Anytime. Good luck!

I would like to point out that my guide for wizards was never intended for shameless optimization. It was intended to show how effective wizards could be in a support role, rather than in a primary combat role. I also defined "god" in the guide as a character type that buffs, debuffs and...

You can easily get away with skipping everything regarding building adventures, placing treasure, and probably awarding experience. When you get to the magic item section, read the first blurb for each kind of magic item as well as the introduction for magic items. These rules will explain the...

You seem more interested in attacking me than my points, so I'll just defend myself from your attacks on me and leave you the last word. 1) Attack my points. This is a forum, that's what we do, it is not insulting. Skip the direct attacks on me please, those are insulting. 2) It is not...

Even in 3.5 it wasn't nearly as bad as it sounds. I did this analysis a few years ago: Whoops! Browser Settings Incompatible Logicninja posted an objection in the responses pointing out how (in the example of a 9th level wizard) a FS would not be able to memorize a variety of spells he listed...

OK, point by point. First off, it is debatable if bonded item is the best arcane bond. Personally, I take the familiar and then improved familiar. I max UMD for my character and take an improved familiar with hands (my current character has a dust mephit). Then I use my familiar to use...

That's not how it works. Swift action or no, as soon as you shift your turn is over because it functions like dimension door, which specifies that after using it your turn immediately ends.

From my experience, the two (Character building through story and through mechanics) aren't mutually exclusive, and in fact are often necessarily inclusive. I usually will plan out at least to a moderate extent what I plan to do with a character in terms of character development, and then I...

The problem with Cloudkill is it moves every round, Alchemists can create a non-moving cloudkill effect with the right bomb enhancements, not sure if any other class can though.

My mistake, I thought the cape fit the robe slot. Have to get a robe of the mountebank I guess Agreed, though I would point out that Haste does ALOT more damage in most circumstances, and often doing less damage now, rather than more in the long run, gets overrated. The wounded guy hits just...

There are not many Wizard spells that do ability damage, and off the top of my head, there are no good ones (the only one that comes to mind is chill touch, which is an awful spell for a non melee wizard). However, fear not, for a debuffing Wizard has lots of other options. Remember, debuffing...

The teleportation sub-school is super awesome. However, a cape of the Mountebank will work nicely once you can afford it (what else were you using your cape slot for anyways?) These give a nice grapple resist option. If you have neither, a Wizard's best defense is positioning. If you...

Based on the wording of spell storing, it sounds like there is no miss chance for the spell (the spell goes off AFTER you hit), therefore the spell has no to hit roll. The rule is, if you are casting a spell that does damage and requires a hit roll, it can be a critical (it's kind of a...

I play in the same group as Kor (am one of those players that thought the Red Dragon should not earn a full XP share). I would like to add some information to the discussion: First - whether the charmed creature "Deserves" a share of the XP is irrelevant. The Red Dragon will likely not be...
