    36th level epic characters...best combos?

    A great non-FR non-Core P-class is the Justicar of Taila from the Deities and Demigods. By default it is a non-good class, and it's easy to qualify for. Very very best part is every ability follows a regular pattern. Epic class feats every 4 I would say, but more epic feats count for alot...

    OK I'm REALLY curious..how come no Staff reviews of BoVD?

    I was quite pleased with my BoVD, as a DM that is. The corrupted creature template is my new friend. The arch devils aren't cool enough to be unique beings but as CR 20-30 monsters quite resonalble. I fully plan on using Jubilex's stats as some sort of Epic ooze and the poor old Demon Prince...

    Rules forum "Book Club": PH spells A-O

    Blur is also Verbal only. Our parties fighter/sorc took blur over mirror image for just that reason. The Bigby's spells are redictulous. In our high level game, our party wizard cast a the 9th bigby's at the undamaged after 5 rounds, half fiend half crack cleric 24 of the high god of DM...

    Characters of SMACK, the PbP game of horrid munchkinism

    The Cat Front And Jeremy's Cleric is a were-tiger 90% of the time as well. "Sorry guys, can't be a crazy death machine today, cleric has a hairball."

    Non-good assassin

    Since my DM and I had a similar issue with Assassins, we cooked up the following. Note that the game in question is very high power. For a lower power game, you may want to move the Sneak attack dice from 1,3,5 to 2,4. Ebon Blade The Ebon Blades are members of the thieves' guild the Black...

    Devoted Defender Ques.

    Horn of Blasting broken?

    Hate to be a whiner Kreynolds but the text of Horn of Blasting Line version doesn't mention this Save thing you speak of. Horn of Blasting courtesy of the SRD: Horn of Blasting This horn appears to be a normal trumpet. It can be sounded as a normal horn, but if the command word is spoken and...

    Adamantine

    A Fable for our Time These sort of things are why rules by committee are always flawed. "Natural Enhancement Bonus: A Fable" Imagine if you will 10 guys sitting around a table discussing Adamantite weapons. They are at an impass, unable to decide what to call the bonus that adamantine grants...

    DM Seeking advice:Disintegrate Counters needed

    Golems fear no Disintegrate. Constructs do. Contingency doesn't help if there aren't any spells that protect against Disintegrate. I am aware of Protection from Spells (+8 resistence bonus vs spells only) but Mr. Dragon casts as a sorcerer and I have other 8th level spells to take. And again...

    DM Seeking advice:Disintegrate Counters needed

    The main reason I posted isn't because this monster is very weak vs. Disintegrate but because the same weakness has appeared a number of times. In truth, I'm sure that the party won't use Disintegrate because the arcane caster just doesn't think about it that way. She took Disintegrate to...

    DM Seeking advice:Disintegrate Counters needed

    Spoiler Alert***** Stay out players (you know who you are) The current creation in question is an Incorporeal Dragon. This makes equipment a less than ideal solution. The ring of counterspells is a good idea for some of the other baddies disinagrate is a particular weakness. Note that...

    DM Seeking advice:Disintegrate Counters needed

    My poor Construct's and Undead need your help! How can a reasonable arcane or divine spellcaster protect himself (or itself) from Disintegrate. More SR, More Touch AC, More Fortitude saves are not valid answers. Things with do not work: Spell Immunity (only up to 4th lvl spells), Spell...

    Horn of Blasting broken?

    As the proud owner of the "Horn of Cheese" as it is affectionatly called in our game, I can tell you that the true power of the horn is the auto stun. Note the second function of the horn, the "Cone of Goodness" 100ft cone, Fort save DC(18) fail the save take 1d10 damage and stunned for 2...

    [ELH, Does this work?] Not your grandfather's tarrasque...

    I'm gonna violate the cardinal rule of this forum and post a rule opinion without checking the book, but I believe that you can only wild shape into critters with your hit dice or less (As an aside, I can tell you that Shifters work this way). That would mean the first time a Druid could...

    Energy Drain Question

    doktorstick is correct, which is why I prefer that characters lose 500 X character level in Xp rather than a level, I hate that level drains can 'hurt' more or less depending on when they happen. To me that falls into the catagory of punishment for success and thus is naughty.

    Please rate Fists of Iron

    I'm playing a 1 monk/4 paladin/3 sacred fist. I have bought Fists of Iron because it's one more limited use ability to add to my already impressive stack of one a day abilities. (Smite Evil, Smite from Destruction domain, 1 Stun, and the various Inflict Spells). Being able to do...

    Epic spells and the Epic Caster (unfair balence of power?)

    <rant> I totally agree with the statement "Epic Casters got the shaft!" I believe that anyone who doesn't agree with that hasn't truely considered all the implications of the epic spellcasting rules and the epic caster progressions in general. Point 1: It is not possible to make a Epic spell...

    Best Spell to Maximize

    Write in Vote Dispel Magic: Autodispelling any spell of 19th caster lvl or less and/or supressing any magic item of same caster level for 4 rounds solves a lot of problems. Empowered is better for dispell magic and many other spells as well.

    Providing Dragons With Classes?

    I fully support adding Class levels to Dragons and other such big guys. However, I do agree with Someone (sorry) comment that a class level does not equal +1 CR when given to a dragon. As for my personal experience I mostly a handful of sorceror lvls (to give them a certain spell) or customize...

    Sultans of Smack

    Hmmm... 13.5 X 7.38 = 99.63 Earth's planar traits may have fluxed some. Math doesn't seem to work right any more. That's it....yeah. Thanks for the math on the followers stats. I knew that it would only increase the damage, but I didn't have any method of calculating it on hand.
