IMC, yes. IMC, I also allow people to "ignore" flankers, making them flatfooted against the one ignored. Neither of these rulings are RAW though, and I fully admit them to be house rules. Emphasis mine. Illusions are neither characters nor creatures, and thus cannot be used to flank. Thems...

It's new to me. You can't complain about someone not using search when search isn't an option unless you pay money for it.

I like Vecna too much as a character to let a little thing like apotheosis get in the way of things, so I can't vote him off. But Farlaghnanjkhdglskhges the unpronounceable? He can take a long walk off a short pier.

I asked this question over at the Wizard's CharOp board a couple weeks ago here, and the answer that came back was "Yes it can be worth it, and in fact, your familiar can be made to be more powerful than most untwinked PCs themselves." Dragon familiar is pretty good, and will provide you with a...

A good rule of thumb is that ECL = 1.5x CR. It's not perfect, but it works in the vast majority of cases. Dragons being the notable exception, which are really worth about 2x CR. Medium Fire elementals are CR 3, but they have 4 HD. 3 x 1.5 = 4.5. So either round down and say that the LA = 0...

Yeah, uncountably infinites should be cosmic. Forgot to specify. I meant divine as in "possesses divine ranks." I don't think matrices would be swarms though... or at least not swarms like we know them. Matrices follow rather interesting rules of their own that aren't quite intuitive. For...

Allow me to endorse Elements of Magic. The only problem my group had with it was that... well... it's too good, and my players went into feature shock, unable to decide what to do at any given moment because they had so many options. Eventually we went back to core, but if you want a freeform...

Oooh, I hadn't considered elemental! That would be -perfect- I think. The type and subtype would be "Elemental (Math)" with the moigno traits above being renamed "Math Subtype traits". Okay, let's try to revise the list a little. Species: Natural Rational Negative Algebraic Irrational...

I don't remember them (never having played planescape except the videogame "Torment" which is awesome by the way)... but I did google them, and found http://www.mimir.net/monsters/moignorational.shtml and http://www.mimir.net/monsters/moignoimaginary.shtml which is good enough for me. I think...

Inevitable mistranslations are fun! I suggest, to be fair, that you roll a decipher script check for each word to determine if it's pronounced properly. If not, substitute a random word ala Mad Libs. For more fun, roll FOR them, behind the screen, so they don't know if a given word is right...

Some ideas. For rogues, I think the key is in revamping the epic skill system. Something along the lines of after X skill ranks in a particular skill, you effectively gain an SLA at will as an extraordinary ability. To an extent, the system already supports this. The "fanatic" category, for...

Oh come on... Vecna's cool. He tried to take on the Lady of Pain! How can that not be awesome?

I know I keep harping on this point, but I think that quite a bit of the discrepancy is removed when you give fighters their good BAB back, especially if you also use more metamartial feats like power attack and combat expertise. it means that against most equal level foes, the fighter will...

Ark of the Covenent? The Ten Commandments themselves? Burning Bush (able to talk to mortals without having their heads explode)? Yeah, he might not NEED them, but... The Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil? Tree of Life? Could a time lord have a lesser god as an artifact?

Hey Krust, would you mind mentioning in the IH itself that you suggest that Spell Like Abilities still factor in XP costs, but those costs can be paid by petitioners if the use is on the petitioner's behalf?

Sounds reasonable to me. The bad guys get a listen check against the rogue's move silently, of course, so it might not go off exactly as planned. Beware of bad guys with true seeing, but that's not a problem until higher levels (I'd suspect).

Somewhere between 5 and 9 hours, I'd guess. Maybe my group is just meticulously slow when it comes to combat... a single combat can last a whole hour, and of course, then you need to throw in all the OOC banter and getting food and such things... I voted 8 hours.

Others have offered very good ideas on what to do now, but I just wanted to comment of the fairness of the situation in the first place. I think the party deserved to die. Reasonable precautions could have been taken, but they weren't. I'm not talking paranoia here, I'm talking about...

It's evil, except for Deathwatch, which I've houseruled to not be evil.

You'll want to get yourself an unseen servant as a sous chef...
