it is slow, because we have so very little time. we all don't even live in the same town and live the life of boring adults, sadly. each session may literally be one encounter, social or otherwise. i actually doubled the xp for a few sessions, but then realized that they're not exactly going to...

unfortunately, perhaps due to comfort, or sheer tiredness from everyone working early hours, one or two in the group that i DM have become rather pedestrian in the way they deal with encounters. i wouldn't be so concerned, but it's the group's cleric, and mage; primary healer and primary damage...

the only spell i ever outright banned during play was one from the spell compendium called 'distract': 1 round per level, 1 creature per level, medium range, will save, no verbal casting component. doesn't sound too bad, but anyone hit by it takes -4 to concentrate, search, spot and listen...

yeah, that thing... i've read and re-read the tables and charts and am pretty sure i've 'gotten it' but i would appreciate one rule cleared up: while a mook and i grapple, do we both deal damage to one another round per round, or is the only one who gets to deal damage the winner of the...

frankly, if your group has more than 3 other PCs, you could ask him to leave - at least while you're DMing. just explain to him that you're not "overreacting" or being "a typical woman" (sorry, but he sounds like an insecure macho pig) but you don't take kindly to someone constantly sitting at...

the 3rd level cleric spell prayer is absolutely insane. my PCs use it every battle they can and it really turns the tides, even though it is only a +1 luck bonus to attack, damage, save and skills. best of all, it also effects all enemies with a -1 to all of the above, which is totally sweet...

OP here. DM said we're not using Tome of battle cause too many of the newer players aren't familiar with it. c'est la vie... anyhow, back to my original idea then - i'm debating starting with a lone level of fighter or barbarian and then going dragon shaman for the rest. i should mention i'm...

hey all, need some quick advice. we're going to be playing a short campaign, and i'm torn between dragon shaman and crusader. i'm thinking of maybe going dragon shaman 7 crusader 1 - as we start at 8th level - so i could pick up some advanced maneuvres, while benefitting from my breath weapon...

OP here. yeah, i'd have to agree. i mean, i realized that incorporeal foes existed a long time before this power came out, so its not like the designers didn't realize that weird interaction. i think its just safe enough to say it works and call it a day. thanks for the help!

yeah, the FB is great. ....for the DM. it's all shades of broken when attempting to adventure in a PC environment, but great as a lone and perhaps suicidal NPC. personally, even if i had a player who managed to get his will save to something like +20 and completely avoid the frenzied rage...

a dog or ape - both fairly smart creatures - both have intelligences of 2, whereas a rhemoraz has an intelligence of 5, so it's no mere animal. however, i agree with you that if it were to use said tactics, it may be considered cheap or unfair to your players. to be honest, they would be...

hey all, the touchsight psionic power indicates that when its active, you can sense all creatures. since the spell seems to work similar to echolocation, would this pass right through something incorporeal, like a shadow, or is it best to leave reality out of the equation and rule that it...

hey all, resuming the campaign that stopped due to time and school constraints for all of us, and i figure the best way to invigorate the game was to apply a 'patch' of sorts; i'm re-considering classes and items that i'd previously said were not in the campaign world, as well as thinking of...

i cut my teeth on it, and i think that it'll always hold a special place for me. i've grown past it, but i don't think you can 'capture' that magic that most of us had as 14 year olds rolling die and playing the most obvious and thinly-veiled LOTR campaigns ever. it'd be like asking a 30 year...

ok, probably misleading, but i've a relatively (i believe) simple question: can someone use any of the epic spells/powers via UMD? like, on a scroll or something? i know absolutely nothing about epic spells, asides from the fact they exist, but was mostly curious as i'm considering some cool...

to the OP: although i had a similar initial reaction, i just modified it and it's actually greatly contributed to game play. 1. bumped price to 1000 gp even. 2. healing is use-activated and self only; no pseudo lay-on-hands. 3. belt must be worn continously for 24 hours before any, or it won't...

psychic reformation allows you to swap out previous feats, although, i find that it can get silly when you start swapping out feats that physically change you, and then lose them instantly reverting: Psychic Reformation :: d20srd.org

basically, i was thinking of adding some baddies to challenge the psionic members of my party and stumbled upon this: Gray Glutton :: d20srd.org everything about checks out, but why exactly is his charisma a 20? surely, its wisdom should be the 20, since the fluff indicates that it likes to...

not having my books around me, i'd think that your proposed combination would leave you with a manifester level of 3 for your egoist, and a manifester level of 1 for your ardent - they don't stack. i'm quite unsure about ultrablast, but considering it's a 7th level power, the chances of legally...

hey all, the necrocarnum acolyte feat seems strange to me; basically, it allows a non-good incarnate to shape necrocarnum. naturally, this benefits lawful and chaotic incarnates. however, does this also prevent any associated side-effects us continually using such an evil source of power, such...
