Just to add to this combo. If you lead off with a chained (metamagic feat) reduce person (first level spell) the chances of your targets getting out become quite slim. It requires 2 fourth level arcane spells (chained reduce person, and evards black tentacles) and a sixth level arcane spell...

Are you implying that the psicrown can be recharged? I haven't read anything that would seem to indicate that they are rechargable -- certainly nothing in the Psicrown section of the book indicates that. -Eraslin

Interesting that you should mention this. One of my current groups is actually quite large, and in it I play a transmuter while another player has a sorcerer. The roles pretty much amount to him nuking everything 'til it glows, and me playing the utility/support role -- so I handle...

Hello all, So, I've been playing 3.0 & 3.5 for a long while now -- pretty much since its release. There's something that I've noticed in all the games that I've been playing in, and I was wondering if anyone else has encountered this in their games. Ever since the introduction of the sorcerer...

Aye, I'd thought of that. Unfortunately, my current character (transmuter 5/Mage of the Arcane Order 7) doesn't have nearly enough feat choices between now and L20 to get all of the requirements for Archmage and both counterspelling feats. Still need to get: - Skill Focus (spellcraft); for...

Thanks.

Hi all, I've heard mention of these two feats numerous times, but I have no clue what book they're in. Could someone enlighten me? Thanks, Eraslin

That's pretty neat. I wasn't aware that they'd made that distinction in the rules. I'd always thought of metamagiced spells as spells of their higher level with the save of the non-metamagic'd spell (with the exception of heighten spell). -Eraslin

??? It requires an int/cha of 16 to cast a sixth level spell -- which a maximized fireball is. Thus, the save for the fireballs that come from the ring will be DC 16. Still not great, but better than 14. Additionally, the caster level of a sixth level spell has to be at least 11. Thus, the...

Hi there, Sorry to inform you, but unless your human sorc is naturally a large creature, you can't polymorph into a treant. You're limited to a max size of 1 step greater than your own size -- a real pain in the arse if you're playing a gnome wizard, let me tell you! That said, I don't recall...

Hmm. It must be one of those items that doesn't actually follow any predetermined formula exactly. What if they priced it at the minimum caster level, but still wrote it in at caster level 15? The minimum caster level for a sixth level spell is 11, so that would give a construction cost (for the...

I've never actually priced out a staff before, but I'll give it a go. From the 3.5e SRD. Since the caster level of all spells in the staff have to be the same, we'll just factor that out of the equations for now. The first thing to note is that spells that take 2 charges are put in at half...

Wow, that's positively a frightening beast you've got there Piratecat; would be even more frightening with Empathic Transfer, Hostile -- get too beaten up, just give your wounds to everyone within 20'. Anyone else have any other builds to compare? -Eraslin

Hello there, I've been looking at the Wilder class in the Expanded Psionics Handbook, and I'm having trouble trying to visualize a viable build for one. Specifically, which powers would make good ones. Maybe I'm just used to the flexibility of a wizard (my most often played class), but I feel...

Now that is a work of art! -Eraslin

I can't, no. Just the visuals of a person with this feat and a tower shield struck me as wrong. This feat and a medium shield or any armor with real substance just hits me as visually wrong too. -Eraslin

Fair enough. I was trying to compare with the monk's unarmored AC bonus. But, if we assume that the monk is going to crank his/her wisdom then the difference between +2 and +3 is negligable in the comparison. (+9 at +19BAB vs +8 at +19BAB) Ah. The point in my mind has to do with visualizing...

I actually don't think that it's terribly overpowered, personally. Especially considering that the feat grants an armor bonus to AC. So, it wouldn't stack with any worn armor. Though, I'd personally be more inclined to tie it to BAB rather than "levels in classes with good BAB". Maybe a prereq...

Some spells that I've found particularly useful. From Tome & Blood: Absorption Chain Contingency Dimensional Lock Energy Buffer (for those attacks you're not expecting) Energy Immunity (for those attacks you are expecting) From one of the FR books (can't recall which): Improved Blink...
