Balancing in D&D

I'm a first generation gamer, and got into it through an older friend. My step-dad sees the appeal of the minatures (we bonded a lot painting some of his Star Wars model kits), but not the other stuff. I get the impression my mum thought it would just be a phase I went through, but she wasn't...

The Player's Guide to Faerun contains the info you're after, if you still wanted to look at it.

Nifft probably means Cloak of Chaos, the Chaotic version of Holy Aura in the PHB, page 210. I could be wrong, though.

Permanancy is highly susceptible to dispelling, especially as the character gets higher in level and their enemies also get higher in level.

I'd keep it as a normal warhorse until Paladin level 8, then improve the warhorse as if it had advanced in the Dragon Disciple prestige class (in addition to the delayed normal mount abilities). That way the mount still improves, but not suddenly as if youh'd just applied the template directly.

Why? Archivists seem perfect for priests of Boccob, Vecna, or even Wee Jas. Is it because of the prayerbook aspect? I like your Divine Spell Mastery feat. Totally yoinked!

I've been wondering about this for a while... what is up with that spelling? Is this one of those "cool" miss-spellings or something? [/spelling nazi]

That sure does sound familiar.... :lol:

That spider look Tonka Tuff!

Well, if anything, the guy's hot. Until he puts the fire out, anyway. ;)

You could give them the special ability to use their Dexterity modifier instead of their Strength modifier for Climb and Jump checks (Same as cats in the MM) in addition to Nyeshet's Balance and Tumble racial bonus. Leap of the Heavens would be a great racial bonus feat too, IMO.

They must be Slippers of Spider Climbing. :D

It'll never be successful with that kinda pessimism! ;) I would like to go to the original GenCon one day though, if I ever holiday in the USA again. My money would go a lot further these days, thankfully. :)

I didn't go to the optometrist for nothing! I'm ordinarily blind as a bat. :lol:

Just what are you trying to prove here? There is a middle ground where characters are effective and useful, not just the categories "Optimised" and "Largely useless at their role"/ Incidentally, Mu-mu would be dealing normal damage with his unarmed strike since he's wearing full plate. Full...

This is the internet. You must have a hat of something! ;) --- I'm looking forward to seeing some of the faith-based affiliations, and I think the Domain feats look rather interesting.

Cloaked guy's just behind Soon. (Edit: There are TWO cloaked guys behind Soon, in light and dark blue varieties!) That was cool, but still kind of a sad fate for the Guard. It's got me waiting anxiously for the next one, though. :)

People over here would be more likely to connect the name to Ivan Milat.

You might want to re-examine Blue's list. Blue didn't say that bows were either.
