*shrug* Remove the bracers (he had cast Mage Armor which gave a better AC), the cloak (he had cast Protection from Good), exchange his weapons from MW to normal, and you can roughly substract 11.000 gp, resulting in nearly 22.000 gp gear value. These items were just for completion but they...

Hmm, this is not bad. That reminds me of some Star Trek films: When a Romulan Warbird attacks, it becomes visible. When the attack is over, it camouflages again. Why not the same for Improved Invisibility? The party still has some difficulties to distract the invisible caster, but when he uses...

Hmm, good point. I don't know in how this would affect the game (because I'm at least used to the errors you're just pointing out ;) ), but I think it is worth a try. Either change the spell level or reduce the damage dice cap, IMHO. I'd say thats a sign that the charts arent 100%...

AFAIK, 3.0 Haste said that you get an extra partial action, regardless the situation (in this case a surprise round). Surprise round: Standard action + 5ft. step + free action (e.g. casting a quickened spell) + partial action given by Haste. But the whole wiz11 vs. party15 discussion is not...

Ah yes, totally forgot that. Hm, an EVIL cleric will be in trouble since he can't cast PfE. IIRC, Protection from Good does not help against neutral creatures. Unfortunately, I have no access to the SRD to verify this. If there is a difference between PfE and PfG/C/L, only the PfE version needs...

Everything I've posted so far (and will post now) about that encounter was off my mind. I can give you details about that hostile wizard at the end of the week when I'm back at home. Some details about the PCs I just remembered. They're, except for the druid (and the ftr/pal/rgr?), converted...

As isochron mentioned, I was the DM that created the encounter (under 3.0 rules at that time). I don't have the stats of the mage at hand (I'm at a conference til end of the week), but the wizard attacked the traveling group at daytime in Amn. He had Fly, Impr. Invis. (silent), Shield, Haste...

At least for Mind Blank and some other 24 hour spells the period of time is a problem, IMO. Two rings of counterspells, mirror images and spell turning will need a few more well placed dispels. That is my experience for a "normal" level 18 wizard. Now take an archmage specialized in...

Correct. But Blur would be fine if an opponent has See invisibility cast or a cleric with Insibility purge is around. The spell Blindsight has a range of 30 ft., that's not very much. A flying caster will try to keep a greater distance if possible. Tremorsense wouldn't help to detect flying...

Just compare it to ANY other protective spell in regards of duration and the spells it blocks at a 100% chance. There is none with such a wide array(except perhaps in some weird munchkin rule book). Let's take Energy Immunity. Duration 24 hours, used as Fire Immunity. It grants immunity to...

Hey! Don't call him "strange"! Or Nepomuk will start a long discussion about strange people :] Anyway, he knows the pixie from the time he hatched.

Are you sure? I've just read the SRD and FAQ, and there's nothing that says that the animal companion has a different type. Hmm, but there was some discussion on that matter, IIRC...

Aye, and that is one reason why I liked AD&D. Teleport was used only in dangerous situations, Polymorph was a better attack spell than buffing some party members, and Gate was rarely used at all. Hmm, perhaps I should swap through my old AD&D PHB to get some ideas on how to balance some spells...

Wow, losts of comments :cool: Interesting, some spells are listed quite often, perhaps they will be revised, faq'd, errat'd ...some day... ;) I posted those spells that just came into mind. I agree that most of the spells you're listing need some changes. The polymorphing stuff is badly...

:lol: Yeah, it is quite funny to see our little female fighter/barbarian in action: Rage, WF bastard sword, GWF bastard sword, WS bastard sword, GWS bastard sword, IC bastard sword, Power Attack, Cleave, Great Cleave. When she wields a keen weapon, things get really bloody :] . And she wants...

With the upcoming of 3.5, we changed some points: - Keen weapon and improved crit feat stack (PC just reminded me... ;) ) - Power Word: Kill and Power Word: Blind were just moved to the necromancy school, [mind-affecting] was deleted. - Shifter PrC from MoW was completely revised: No...

The three different Power Word spells are in 3.5 mind-affecting spells, and as such, MB works very well against them. I don't like the fact that one spell (MB) wards against the whole enchantment school for one day. No other spell has this capability. An airborne creature has to take a double...

D&D 3.5 core spells plus 3.0 splat books.

Well, the thread title says it: which spells from the PHB and the splat books (Defenders of the Faith, Masters of the Wild, Song and Silence, Tome and Blood) do you consider overpowered or underpowered and why? A friend and I are working on a homebrewed D&D, and perhaps some spells could need a...

OK, finally I checked Lords of Darkness on the Twisted Rune. These guys are REALLY tough. IIRC, the most powerful of them (liches with about 30 levels of arcane classes and epic powers) can compete with Larloch :] Although the Rune concentrates their operations on Calimshan, it seems they're...
