No, it's not any better over time but imagine the PC's surprise when they get hit with a fireball, fireball, fireball, and a magic missle on who ever is bleeding the worst (the quickened spell). They'll think they're under attack by 4 mages!! :)

If you're invis and casting a full-round fireball would you stay invis until you targeted it?

Lets say I cast haste, then start to summon a monster. On the next turn I can finish my summon, cast a hasted action, then cast again as a standard right? That's 3 spells in a round, if I have a quickened spell that's 4 in only one round. Can a caster choose to extend his casting time to a...

Stat-wise what is the highest medium sized creature they can be polymorphed into? Lets figure on a 10th level Goblin Sorceror... Can you polymorph them into outsiders like demons and devils? They have high stats.

I'll license you the rights to my SimBarony saying if I can test the software out.... :) Seriously though, if you want anyone to evaluate the software I'll be happy to try it out.

One trick I use is to have mixed races. Like with the group of Orcs is an Ogre who's job is to trip the PC's so the Orcs can descend on them with +4 bonus for the defender being prone (although being tripped doesn't make you lose dex for some reason...) Ogres work well for this since they're...

Okay, what is the newest version of polymorph? I have a different version in like 3 different books... I wanted to theme a campaign around a Goblin Sorceror who has the Polymorph other spell and his legions of 6hp Ogres. Then I realized that it's two size differences so that wouldn't work...

Okay, in the temple they have lots of NPC's with like +4 to hit and all the PC's by this time are 10th level with AC25 or so. How do you make it so that the PC's are challenged? One thing I do it liberal use of potions of heroism and haste, and also give them say 4 more strength or dex. That...

5th level? Well, a hasted mage with a quickened magic missle and two maximized magic missles will do 60-75pts of damage with no save... that works well for me. But since I dislike mages I'd have to go with the Paladin who's charging and smiting with the appropriate charge feats. That rocks...

HEY!! One of my PC's is saving up for Armor of Command and a PC in a game I DM has that armor already so back off!! :) Armor of Command isn't as bad as the Arms of Nyr or armor of speed but it's a bit odd. Since one is a Cleric and my guy is a fighter I don't think it's as bad. If a...

Well, a ring of spell storing specifically states that the spells are at the lowest caster level needed to cast the spell... spell storing weapons don't have that specific designator. Here is how I'd do it - the caster level is the caster that put it in, but the DC is of the lowest needed to...

I like the idea of ranks, but also being able to assign negative ranks. Liberal uses of circumstance modifiers also help... Here is an example: 14 wealth - the town is very prosperous, Robert the Baron has many fields of tobacco that merchants all over the world from as far away as Kalamar...

*beware of sarcasm* Yes, my PC will soon have two arms of Nyr and some armor of speed. I love DotF!!

Hey, if you use any of my ideas give me credit! I'm still pissed at WotC for not giving me props for my animated caltrops idea.

If someone leaves a square threatened by PC1 and goes to fight PC2 does only PC1 get an AO? He didn't leave any squares threatened by PC2 and I think leaving the square is what provokes an AO right? Okay, lets say I have something capable of swallowing adventurers. I also have the spring...

The ranks idea is pretty good. I could use ranks for smaller things like say how wealthy individuals are instead of the town in general. If it's a controlled fuedal town they might not have many rich citizens, but if it's a capitalistic type town they might have high ranks in individual...

I like the d100 idea. Here is something I've come up with for an example. Let me know what you think. I use the normal system like characters with 3d6 (or 4d6 drop lowest) because it's familiar and people know that 10 is average with no special modifiers either way. My cousin and I came up...

For #2 I should probably clarify. In the DMG where they have examples of the different monsters you can add as templates to the "standard" npc and pc classes they list some as having -3x skill points which basically means you only get 1x as your first level instead of 4x. So unless the...

Nope, no birthright stuff for me. I've only been playing RPG's for a year now so my collection is weak.

1. Yeah, +4 ECL races with one character level like Cleric are considered 5th level. 2. Yes, they should get 4x their skill points. In some examples in the DMG it mentions this like the races that don't have HD but they have ECL. 3. Most creatures with HD gain a feat every 4 levels. With...
