Its not that the fighter gets no gear. Its that with one spell the wizard can render all of his gear moot while all of the wizards equipment still functions. Im pretty sure at this point the fighter can't have a fist fight with the wizard since he probably wont be able to reach him/hurt him...

I envy all the playtesters. August is too far away.

I havent seen this posted in the thread, though I may have missed it. The most simple fact is almost all of a 30th level fighter's power is based on his items. If the mage has a disjunction or two prepared it's game over, even if the fighter has some item with antimagic on it. 30th level...

A while back in one of the Books of Eldritch Might (the second I believe), Monte Cook designed an alternate bard that can still cast spells but all of the spells are based on music and are not on any other class' spell lists. vs the Core bard I really liked how unique his take made the bard, if...

Apparently I don't know the epic magic rules as well as I thought I did. Ah well, the character was only built for a one shot. I guess I need to reread the epic magic rules and actually pay attention.

But thats after all other modifiers have been applied. You could in theory get a -200 DC mod alone just from making the cast time 100 days (not that Im suggesting maxing that out for this spell). Who cares if it has a long cast time if it seldom needs to be recast?

Wow, you're right. I dont think anyone in my group ever noticed that about backlash. Doh. Though it is just one tiny line in a footnote so I can see how we overlooked it. All of the examples with backlash aren't buffs so I guess it just never occured to us to think it might have a duration...

Yeah, but since we were using 3.0 at the time the item only cost 9k... +skill item cost was one of the most broken item creation things in 3.0 imo.

It's true it was very expensive. I had also upped the casting time some as well to lower the DC, and I had a nice +spellcraft item (remember +30 is still nonepic). Basically yes it wasnt easy though. The important thing to remember is that it wasn't just immunity to disjunction. It meant...

Not just 9th level spells. With the ward up I was immune to all non-epic spells and spell-like abilities. The check wasnt that high since I opted to take quite a bit of damage when I put it up, but it lasted so long and I had more than enough heal spells to just not care. Yeah, houseruling it...

From ELH, using the ward seed It is possible to take down the epic ward spell with a disjunction, but if you wanted to hit the caster warded with it also you would have to cast it a second time. So not total immunity, but enough to be able to not fear it very much. This is also not even...

I think what stalker0 is thinking of is one of my characters in an epic game he ran. I was a mystic theurge, and the way the epic spell rules are written I get double the normal slots/day since I qualify for them as both a divine and arcane caster when I take the feat. Not hard to develop epic...

IMO if you can take things from BoED, you're better off taking intuitive attack than weapon finesse. It lets you use your WIS mod in place of STR for attack rolls. This lets you focus on WIS much more which has several advantages. Firstly, because he's a monk increases in either Dex or Wis...

This may not be mean so much as comic, but then again it was a situation the player created. I should preface this by saying that I was a player in this game and not the GM, but it was recent and most of us (except the poor guy this happened to) nearly hurt ourselves laughing. In fairness the...

I agree. Magic as it stands (both spells and items) tends to dominate any standard D&D game beyond low levels.
