This happened last session. It is a two-parter. Part 1) The party (a human bard/barbarian, a human monk/wizard/enlightened fist, a human druid, a reincarnated elf fighter (former human), a reincarnated kobold rogue (former halfling) and a very young brass dragon) are looking for some sinister...

Very true. But I have to say that the PHB II is not in use IMC. So no way to boost the fighter with some PHB II feats. And I regard WotC's strategy to enhance the fighter with the PHB II a bit poor, to be honest. The reason why I stayed within PHB and DMG is that both classes, fighter and EK...

Hmm, I guess he was CS (chaotic smart), then. ;)

...and the Teletubbies.

And maybe outsiders...and fallen paladins... Belkar is certainly CE :] Let's see what happens in #430 :D

Hehe, that's why we changed Wind Walk a bit: Once the creature changed back to normal form, the spell ends...voilà.

I'm no fan of B-S-T. But if the players find a way to use it to full effect, then there are two reasons for it: 1) I (the DM) allowed it to happen. The BBEG is perhaps not the 'real' boss (and the real boss just sits in the back and watches how the PCs act, to learn their tactics, to get rid of...

I wouldn't necessarily block the PCs from using their powers. But as a DM, I wouldn't block the NPC's powers either... Actually, I hesitate to block spells and PrCs (except those I consider off the limits, which are only a handful spells). So, if the PCs use B-S-T, the NPCs are likely to use it...

Have to stick with Kae'Yoss on this one. B-S-T was never an issue IMC, IIRC. I can't remember a session when the players diskussed that tactic in detail to attack a major villain...Reasons: First, the foes at high/epic levels very often use Mind Blank (a spell I don't really like as a DM, but...

True, but check the paragraph above the prerequesites: Adaption... Hmm, I have to agree on this one... The problem remains that the PrC has no real drawbacks. A standard cleric with the sun and healing domains and the same feats as the RSP (including extra & empower turning, maximise...

Whoa, that sounds... er... nice??? What's the source for this PrC?

Depends. From my experience, Iron Will is a must-have for fighters. A confused fighter is a serious threat for the party, a paralyzed fighter is almost dead... Blind-Fight is good versus invisible foes which may be encountered from level 3 on. And it helps in dark areas as well. Quick Draw is...

AFAIK, worshipping Pelor is not a must-have to take the PrC (see description). You don't need the Healing Domain to take the advantage of empower/maximize healing. Umm, the Sun domain is somewhat offensive (Sunburst and others). Granted, it is usable only once per day, but the cleric is not...

Well, let's compare a straight fighter with an EK. I used PHB and DMG rules only, except for Arcane Strike. 1) EK Ftr 1 / Wiz 5 / EK 10, human Str 16, Dex 14, Con 14, Int 18, Wis 12, Cha 10 Feats: 11: Scribe Scroll (Wiz 1), Still Spell (Wiz 5), Arcane Strike, Weapon Focus (Great Sword) (Ftr 1)...

Hehe, I was already wondering where that undead dragon was... :lol: Nice game, though!

Some people already mentioned politics as a task for high-level PCs. Some political aspects may be easier to handle with magic (e.g. use charm spells to favor a project, action, passing of a law), but others are more difficult to achieve. Surely, a PC may remove a king or queen, but then the...

As already said, building the monsters/foes takes up most time at high levels, especially for epic campaigns. But still, I like DMing high level parties. Save-or-die spells are not used IMC more often than other abilities. The PCs are more afraid of loosing equipment or not being able to...

Except for that the wizard has to beat SR (at high levels an issue) AND the foe has to fail the save...That may apply for other spells like Delayed Blast Fireball, Finger of Death, Prismatic Spray... The EK could also try to use disintegrate, but he can also wade into melee combat, an option a...

Agreed. But I think and hope, that IMC no player develops a PC just to frustrate the DM. Again, generally I agree. But even a battle offers lots of opportunities for role playing, unless you have some PC killing the BBEG in round 2 in melee combat. I don't like putting up creatures...

If he sacrifices a level 7 spell, has 4 attacks per round with a two-handed weapon +3 (seems to appropriate for this level, assuming he uses a great sword), Str 16 (unbuffed), power attack (let's say 5 points) and has a BAB of +16. Let's see... Attack: +16 (BAB) +3 (Str) +3 (sword +3) +7 (arcane...
