    Wizard Cleric vs Artificer dilemma

    The DM is fairly strict that it is going to be just 2 spells per level. This would not bother me that much if I was a starting character. Then I can collect spells as I advance. However, at 6th 4 2nd level and 4 3rd level does not make me versatile. Plus the DM gives a lot of experience on your...

    Is this a problem?: Full Attack numbers

    Plus at 20th level I will still do +4 Str dam. I can see the Tarrasque quaking in its boots/hoofs then. Whereas the fighter can add another 3 points of strength, plus get the belt of strength +6 and can also increase its strength with manuals.

    Is this a problem?: Full Attack numbers

    I am that ranger in question. I am currently 11th level (10th level Ranger 1st level fighter) When not fighting humans I do 1d8 +7 4 times with rapid shot (+4 Str +1 bow +2 weapon specialisation (the DM allows all fighter types to weapon specialise.)) This makes for a very interesting fight when...

    Wizard Cleric vs Artificer dilemma

    My DM is running an Eberron campaign with a few changes. The party has no magical support apart from a 7th level Artificer. The DM has done away with clerics and Wizards and introduced a Scholar class. This gives you all Clerical and wizard spells; 1d6 hit points per level; no familiar; no...

    Are high attributes more fun then low attributes?

    What is the point of playing low stats? If you started with 13 Int and were a wizard by the time you got to 11th level you could not cast any more higher level spells. So great you have no con, no dex, no skills, you have negative str, no will save and should not be able to talk your way out of...

    Vindictive, fair DMing, or is 3.5 too Lethal ??

    So one creature in the middle of the room is enough for you to stop what your fighting and surrender. Not in the group of friends that I was with. I was with 4 other people who are very gaming smart - none of us saw it - maybe we should have had a commune before hand. As to killing everything...

    Vindictive, fair DMing, or is 3.5 too Lethal ??

    He talked as he attacked with the wand - the party and there were 4 others in the party, are not that dumb. We have combined age in gaming terms of over 100 years. We do not miss obvious hints. Otherwise we die. And we do not like to die. :)

    Vindictive, fair DMing, or is 3.5 too Lethal ??

    In answer to some of your questions 1. The charge across the room put me 5' in front of the druid and 10' in front of the monk characters who had just retreated from the door. If the Wizard had put the prismatic wall 10' behind me he would have trapped 3 characters. 2. I do not see how you...

    Vindictive, fair DMing, or is 3.5 too Lethal ??

    After gaming for nearly 25 years I am begining to be disillusioned. I had my character killed last night. As the major fighter (10th level Half Dragon Psionic warrior) I went rushing to the door to block off the enemy from entering the room. I charged to the door. Got my attack in and stood my...

    What's wrong with metamagic?

    Anyone who does not go down the route of metamagic is a fool in my opinion. My DM is a great fan of it. Hence why a party of 5 11/12th level members and a group of frost giants entered a room and attacked a couple of ice golems. Doors open and instantly a maximised 16th level fireball and...

    How many times have you died in One round?

    I think that you win. Do you think that the DM had it in for you?

    How many times have you died in One round?

    Technically you only die once. However, I was wondering whether anyone can beat the 4 deaths that I would have suffered in one round. Playing a 10th level Half Dragon Psionic warrior, I was bull rushed by an Ice golem through a Primatic wall, put right behind me by a 16th level Wizard. Save DC...

    evasion and pocketed friends - what would you do?

    Then you miss the point - the Rogue is avoiding the fireball or in your example the lake. He is, therefore, trying to avoid being wet. If your DM rules that a backpack is not providing total protection then he should be a real pedant and make sure that a rogue, in this case, saves for all his...

    evasion and pocketed friends - what would you do?

    No, as the Druid was our only healing power. We are weeks away from the nearest habitation and in the middle of hunting down the father of all White dragons hopefully with the help of an army of frost giants - otherwise we are popsicles. The reverse of the Druid!! I still disagree with you...

    evasion and pocketed friends - what would you do?

    What difference does it make if he is a creature not an object? I was involved in this event - 'the robin' was totally in the pocket - it did not have any view, provide any assistance, have any spells running. It was going to be sent back when the coast was clear with instructions from the...

    the Kyri Chronicles - last updated 22 Oct

    He might have known that we were about, and maybe going to attack on that night. What he would not know was when (as we didn't.) However, Tania sort of helped him out with that. :lol: Such is life. :cool:
