Yep, and that's why I don't like Mind Blank... But that's irrelevant here. A wizard at level 13 won't cast MB (unless he has a scroll with MB), so ST would be a good choice against Charm Monster or a heightened Hold/Dominate Person. Yes. These spells are wonderful mage-killers because they...

Yup, I'd see it the same way. ST is written something like this (when a spell is turned): The spell targeting you is turned back to the opponent. I don't know the exact wording here. So, it seems that a wizard throwing a Horrid Wilting at three guys with ST on will end up with a dry mouth...

Hmm, that's a completely new info for me. But it sounds quite good. I have two AD&D background books for Tethyr: Lands of Intrigue and The Desert Kingdoms (well, it's a translation of the German title: Die Wüstenreiche). I'm quite sure that the Twisted Rune was not described in AD&D LoI, but...

Ouch, he would kick the a$$e$ of the adventurers... :] Hrm, but that's what I want ("There's always a bigger fish." - Jedi saying). Thanx Whisper72!

Hi folks, recently I checked the FR Netheril campaign setting from good old AD&D times. There is a passage of a conversation between Sass Tam from Thay and the ultralich Larloch. Larloch resides somewhere at the Sword Coast, and IIRC, he is somewhere in Tethyr or Amn. The 3.0 FRCS has no infos...

Ok, you want: a) ST goes down to level 6, no further changes. b) leave ST in level 7, but able to turn most spells. Correct me if I'm wrong so far. AFAIK there is no spell in 3.0/3.5 offering 100% protection against a wide array of spells. If this would be the case, it would imbalance the...

Indeed. It is a very nasty spell for the DM and not easy to get around it. Combine ST with Mirror Image and your wizzie has a good protection against ray and touch spells. One of the wizards in my group is a wiz 14 / acm 5 and has specialized on counterspells and got Greater Dispelling and ST...

As everybody in the group sometimes becomes a DM, we had female DMs occasionally. The adventures were quite funny and mostly needed more thinking than using a sword or spell. One adventure had only one short fight, the rest was putting the puzzle together (anyone knows Deja-vu? :D ).

Seems that your paladin needs a +1 holy adamantine battle axe. IIRC, it is an overall +3 weapon (worth approx. 19.000 GP). That sould work for a level 8 PC. Later add a keen enchantment and perhaps increase it to +2 or +3. Take the feat Improved Critical (Battleaxe or Greataxe) at level 9...

Ok, thanks. Hm, won't make much sense to awaken the tiger, it wouldn't survive the campaign for long. But a dire tiger, triceratops or tyrannosaurus would :D The only problem is to get it into a city...I'll think about it... :]

I'm quite sure this was asked before, but I can't find the thread... If my druid (level 18) would cast Awaken on his tiger companion, do I have to use the base creature in the MM or use the augmented version? Thanks for helping out. Dark Dragon

Hmm, that sounds not bad. I don't have AU, but I could ask a friend to have a look at that book... I agree with that, and at the first thought about the slaad I wasn't sure if it is good to use it. OTOH, the party knew that this bunch of wizards fights with the back to the wall, and it fights...

Well, indeed I planned that the wizard will try to call the slaad as his last option and when being cornered. I knew that it could be tough, but I hoped that the party will rely on its power to counter spells and learned tactics against enemy spellcasters. The wiz18 was not flying, he was not...

No, not at that point of the battle. IIRC, the two party wizards don't have Gate in their spellbooks. And even if, they wouldn't memorize it. One wizard is very fond of Shapechange and Meteor Swarm, the other likes Mordenkainen's Disjunction (house ruled) and Meteor Swarm as well. And the loss...

I'm DMing a high-level party (level 19). Yesterday the group battled three wizards (levels 10, 15, 18) of a merchand family. The wizards and the party were both low on spells due to a previous fight. The wiz18 had a scroll with a Gate spell. He was good in Knowledge (the planes). He was losing...

No. A human druid retains his type (humanoid) in elemental form, because his "own" type is humanoid. When WS into an animal (and only into an animal), the druid's type changes, because WS explicitly says so. IIRC, there is no Elemental "Wild" shape, just Wild Shape and Elemental Shape, which...

Well, the natural armor of your wiz is 0, the amulet would enhance it to +1 to +5, depending on the amulet.

Last session I DMed a large spellbattle between 6 highlevel wizards/archmages and an allied highlevel lich cleric and 5 PCs. The NPCs were fully prepared and tried to blow the adventurers into oblivion with empowered damage spells. Most NPC wizards were protected by the Spellturning spell...

Ah, I remember that, I have TFT somewhere at home (some PCs had fun with that halfling tree game). @DarkMaster: The dragons of the old AD&D days were more XP handouts and treasure chests than real challenges. So I maximized the HP of each encountered dragon and gave them a d12 as HD :D At...

:lol: The Dark Side of the Force is with this thread... Ok, good answers so far. As a side note: A hatchling white dragon (tiny) can swim as fast as an adult dragon turtle (huge) ... Just wondering, because the fly speed of the dragons changes with age, the swim speed does not.
