    Adamantine, arrows and you.

    I have no idea why the cost of arrows is so high in general. The ranger, fighter, bard, rogue, scout, whatever is better off just buying an adamantine melee weapon and giving that a shot. 50 arrows doesnt last very long in the lvl 8+ game, so if golems ect. are found in groups or make anything...

    What do you want to see in the fourth Adventure Path?

    Erik: Can you tell as anything about the setting (Greyhawk, FR, ect.) you plan to use for the 4th AP, or is everything to far off at this point?

    Cleric's of Hieronious

    As a cleric of Hieronius it is your duty to uphold and preserve the wishes of your god, to the extent of what he allows. You have to do the honorable, just, and valorous thing. Thats what Hieronious is all about. The line between Clerics and Paladins of Hieronious is nonexsistant imo. He...

    best D&D Adventures

    I am in love with Age of Worms. We are currently playing through it and having a BLAST. Shackled City was really nicely done. I couldnt really ask for more out of an adventure path. RHoD was alright. Its a far cry from SC and what ive seen so far in AoW though. WLD is piss poor imo. From...

    Swift spell as Standard Action?

    good call. Makes selling that point quite a bit more difficult. :P

    Swift spell as Standard Action?

    The reason i wouldnt allow you take use a swift action in place of a move action is because a move action never allows for you to produce any kind of similar effect, like the casting of a spell, or make an attack. Im just trying to remain as in-line with the mechanics of a turn as possible, but...

    Swift spell as Standard Action?

    I may be misinterperting this, but with the house rule in place, the sorcerer can try and cast ASR a second time, but not also blast the minion and cast ASR a second time. Its one or the other. He gets no additional actions. If he elects to cast ASR again he would have to spend his standard...

    RHoD with Gestalt PCs [Spoilers]

    Its more intense on the DM in that theres a fair amount of events happening "behind the scenes" and creating the sense of time-pressure is always kind of hard. Compared to other adventures though (Shackled City, and probably Age of Worms too, no spoilers on AoW though plz, im currently playing...

    Swift spell as Standard Action?

    Well, you can take a swift action and a full attack action on the same round. You just cant take multiple swift actions that function like swift action in the same round. Remember that "A swift action consumes a very small amount of time, but represents a larger expenditure of effort and...

    Swift spell as Standard Action?

    I think my statement and their statements are in line with eachother. Treating the second "swift action" as a swift action would indeed allow for two swift actions and a standard action, which is not whats being argued for. Anyways, this is far more confusing than it needs to be at this point.

    Swift spell as Standard Action?

    Theres no need for the snap to be slowed down. Its doesnt have to take 5 seconds to snap, it simply needs to be done in less than or equal to 5 seconds, and regardless of how long it takes it replaces your standard action. Its very simply about being able to snap twice in a given amount of...

    Swift spell as Standard Action?

    sigh... i didnt realize i wasnt clear :(. i even made multiple posts making sure to be clear. lets try it again... No, you can not take multiple swift actions in the same round. No, you can not take multiple immediate actions in the same round. If you use a swift action spell / power /...

    Swift spell as Standard Action?

    I know this. What lead you to believe i didnt? :( No, i wouldnt allow them to use two immediate action outside of their turn... Again, i have no idea what leads you to believe i would... If you use an immediate action outside of your turn you can no longer take a swift action on your turn...

    RHoD with Gestalt PCs [Spoilers]

    RHoD is a rough adventure. 4 gestalts is probably fair since its such a deadly game. I would play up through the Keep normally, as written, and see how they do. If they are rolling through it all adjust as you see fit. The fighter/barbarian might kill things to well, so maybe giving some...

    Swift spell as Standard Action?

    RAW treats Immediate Actions the same way it treats swift actions except that you can use Immediate actions at any point in the round, even when its not your turn. If a player wanted to use his standard action to manifest a swift power, or use a swift ability I would have no problem with that...

    Swift spell as Standard Action?

    Nobody in this thread arguing for the ability to cast a second "swift" action spell actually wants the second spell to be treated as "swift", they just want to cast it in place of the normal standard action, and pay for it as if they had memorized it as swift (when that applies, quickened...

    Epic Magic Item Costs?!?

    One problem with the whole epic DR thing and not being able to get through something with DR 20/epic is that is kind of hoses certain builds or characters. Two weapons fighters with crazy amounts of attacks being one of them, archers being another. Almost any class that "attacks a lot for a...

    Is Ptolus living up to the hype?

    I havent spent much time with the book yet but heres what i can tell you from spending a few hours with it. Its the kind of product that just answers your questions. When it talks about something it actually has CONTENT there. It doesnt just have a paragraph or two about a location, guild...
