magic of incarnum kinda dances along this line. in effect, when you bind something to a chakra, that 'area' becomes 'taken' and magic items cannot work there. ie: bind something to your shoulder chakra, and it can no longer be used for your magic cloaks and capes. that's all i've got, really...

how wise (unwise) would it be for a 7th level cleric to pick up a single level in swordsage for her next level? her wisdom is 18 and her dex is 16, and the player has reasoned that it'd be a nice boost in defenses and mobility, which she's lacking in - she feels the 2 level dip to get the Wis to...

+1 for Corsair. it's a little hard to get around at first, but you'll note that scrolls are 'arcane' and 'divine', where wands are merely 'do you have this on your list?'

i DM a campaign and i can tell you that until i starting considering the 'psion' question, i felt they were too powerful and really overshadowing the 'other' casters of the group. something that is paramount is ensuring that there are at least 3+ encounters a day; if a psion can unload fully...

i'd probably ignore the 'complete psion' errata. give it a few games and if it seems that it would've been a better thing to be included - because he's overshadowing the rest of the group - maybe reintroduce it? my reasoning would be, from our own campaign, that yes, the psion is powerful and...

i've always played it that they had some manner of innate 'lifesense' that seemed to foil most illusions used against them. as for enchantments, i've just reasoned that they're immune to them because that's necromancy's territory - i'm just fine with charm undead, command undead, and the like...

also, not to hijack my own thread, but what are some of the 'must have' 2nd level psywar powers? i've been looking them over and am considering between 'hustle', 'animal affinity', 'dissolving weapon' and 'damp power' from complete psionic. hustle could be good for getting into position to...

that's actually a very good point, i honestly hadn't thought about that. so, i'm wondering if the following feats (the always on type) would make a more solid build? ultimately, i'd like to make use of a leap-attacker who could use said tactic in many situations, such as leaping off walls or...

i assume you're talking about the 'follow-up' damage that happens the round after a vitrolic blast strikes someone. i'd think it would do the full 2d6, as the invocation says nothing otherwise; however, the eldritch chain does seem to indicate that initial eldritch blast damage is halved, but...

i'm hoping to put together a damage-dealer with some mobility, as i've been attempting to try to plan a build around 'leap attack' (at 6th level) from complete adventurer, combined with 'psionic weapon' for added effect. sources are: all 'complete' books, dragon magic, frostburn, expanded psi...

hey all, just wondering where you'd place the 15, 14, 13, 12, 10, 8 of the elite array. the character will be starting at level 6, so if you could figure in the +1 ability increase gained at 4th, i'd be very appreciative. my thoughts are as follows: Str 15 Con 13 (14 at 4th) Dex 12 Wis...

i think you misread me: even an average 1st level PC 'wears' far more wealth than an average commoner about town. some low level thugs set up 'quests' that they know that commoners wouldn't dare touch, but most low level PCs would, in hopes of ambushing them and gaining their...

i'd have to agree with the first reply. while it's fairly cool to be able to do all kinds of gory and bad-ass stuff in game as a PC, eventually, the DM is going to do it and it's not going to be as awesome then. especially since he can just keep re-making NPCs, while you're now stuck with your...

if they're after money and they have the combat skill to take out 3 dire rats, they should be able to breeze over a few wild swine, deer or any other time of small game without a hitch. one or two attack rolls or simple spells should down it, and then they could at least sell meat that people...

i'd rule consistent with the previous poster, that no one is going to want to buy some rat carcasses - especially ones the size of small swine! at best, maybe a group of sailors plan to use them as bait or chum or something of the like? for that, i'd allow a mere pittance, say, 1sp for the lot...

sorry all, here's some more info: he said it was an incarnum spell/power called "landshark's boots" and it allows you to jump on people. however, he said it doesn't say it provokes and AoO. he said since it doesn't say this, it's legal, but i tend to agree with his players - if someone moves...

in a campaign a friend's running, he's come up against a bit of a problem and it got me thinking: he made a totemist from the magic of incarnum go against his PCs and he said they said one of the tactics that he used seemed illegal, or at least should've provoked an attack of opportunity. the...

you'll find this link to be invaluable, for explaining the rules about the open-source content of 3.5e: The Hypertext d20 SRD (v3.5 d20 System Reference Document) :: d20srd.org just click the psionic area and read away!

i think you have two options and they unfortunately stem from a poor DM. 1) as you stated, start your own campaign where things will hopefully be more fair, balanced and transparent. 2) see if this powergamer would like to help you make an equally broken character he might be flattered that...

perhaps i'm rusty, but is there any hard and fast rule for how much loot can be sold back to a town? i'm under the impression that it's no more than the town's gold piece limit per week, but i may be wrong on that - perhaps that's just a house rule we use. any suggestions/thoughts?
