thanks for the hanson-esque bump, Nightfall. Which book is the Blessed of Mesos in? and can you give me a short description (flavorwise) of what they are like?

Thanks so much guys... the info and words of advice are GREAT!!! Ummm.... where to start... I am using Word. It seemed to make the most sense. I am refusing to look at the bah-jillion reads of PCat's SH as well as the others who have topped four or five digits. I agree, that path leads only...

Obviously a newbie... look at that pitiful post count. *sheesh* Anyways, I was wondering if any mods/veteran SH writers had any quick words of advice for starting a new SH. One of my players and I have been working with a couple characters each, and I have an intro write up almost ready to go...

I guess i need to come play in your game, Nifft. This was posted free @ wizards.com so: To qualify to become a mystic theurge, a character must fulfill all the following criteria. Skills: Knowledge (arcana) 6 ranks, Knowledge (religion) 6 ranks. Spells: Able to cast 2nd-level divine spells...

Cool, Nifft. The main thing i am concerned with, and this is horribly munchkin'd/minmax'd is just getting a sorcerer into MT without waiting for 4th level. Which sounds REALLY silly, I know. But, even this tweak, flavor-wise, I think is a step in the right direction. I just don't want to break...

Quick (seemingly minor) sorcerer tweak: Drop the free Summon Familiar ability. However, if a feat such as Improved Familiar, etc. is taken later the summoning process may still take place, though it now costs 100gp/level to summon the improved familiar. Add Eschew Materials at first level...

This thread is SUPER cool... thanks so much! Two requests, if you will: 1. For a PC name... "one who is imbued (steeped, full of) power" power being magical power. and 2. An elvish word or phrase for rising phoenix-like, or emerging from a cocoon.. some form of rebirth-to-something-greater...

Hi Col... As someone who owned the red-box set, but never really got anything more out of it than waxing in the numbers on the dice (hey, I was 7) and who has only played casually and never been to Cons, fairs, etc... I just wanted to say that I am always glued to these Q & A threads with you...

"One of THOSE campaigns..." For some reason, our gaming group has never taken to water/underwater/etc-based campaigns. Said any time we see splat books or flavor books for such things. "I ping" Paladin's detect evil ability. Seen it mentioned here before, but I might be the first to get it in...

thanks for the Chosen of Deneir, DJ. I just didnt know whether these are templates that PC's should be aiming for realistically or not? I've heard that chosen of mystra is like a smack-down template for an NPC against a PC who gets too big for their britches. But a char here is getting up...

[trying not to hijack too horribly] One of my main concerns with the sorcerer class (via WotC, or presented here) is the fact that sorcerers do not receive 2nd level spells until 4th level, therefore putting them one level behind a single classed wizard. Has the reason for this been documented...

+2 to climb checks and 1 round of Freedom of Movement per day?

I know that Chosen of Bane was template'd. And there is a side-bar at the bottom of some page with the "all the Chosen of Mystra have these traits...". But I was wondering if (especially for Mystra for this current game) any of the other gods' chosen had been template'd? If so where? Thanks...

I agree for the most part with the analysis above. The only thing to consider is that while all of those items were kind of engineered to *match* the abilities of the VoP-ascetic, the next time the group stumbles across a +(epic)x sword/ring/headband/etc... who is the ONE person in the party who...

The seed for this discussion is a character I'm building (obviously, lol). I know for a fact that its not min/max'ed, munchkin'd or any such thing. Its an Aasimar Sorcerer/Cleric of Mystra on his way to Mystic Theurge, with the exalted-ascetic feat chain. *whew* That's a mouthful. I'm sure he...

Kae Yoss (via Arravis)... I apologize. I'm sorry. We have differing views, and I shouldn't get upset, i should just accept/defend my views and move on. I'm sorry. The only thing i want to try and make clear (from previous posts) is that just like the difference between player-knowledge and...

Where did +2 to nat. armor come from? I never said that. You're right.. it *is* IN-GAME. That's EXACTLY what I want it to be. In-game. Where the character can experience the growth and change associated with "gaining" something new and exciting. I wanted to give the character something, not...

Thanks so much for the valuable input. I *was* wrong about Moonfire being Elvish. It is Selun-ish. HOWEVER... moondraught has absolutely nothing to do with Moonfire. It is not a by-product, it has cure light wounds properties and is maximized for lycanthropes. Also... I SAID I *DON'T* want a...

Yes... Magic of Faerun... "...moonfire, an opalescent, glowing, animate fluid mass with the consistency of custard. The Moonfire flows from the altar to envelop *beings* and items, often bestowing them with magic powers" (emphasis mine) BUT WHAT DOES IT DO TO BEINGS???? lol The rest of the...

I have the BoED. I know about taking the Sacred Vow/Vow of Poverty feat chain in order to gain the ascetic bonuses, and what you can and cannot own. I was mistaken above.. the info that inspired me to ask was in the Fiend Folio. There is info in that book about Implants, Grafts, Parasites and...
