i double-checked regroup: it's a 3rd level wizard/sorcerer, but also 3rd level duskblade, and it's 1 ally per level, but the range is short. maybe a duskblade mook could invisibly get near the group and the use sudden empower to alter the range by 50% (kinda iffy on that, but you could just...

considering the inherent awesomeness (some would say cheese) of the lion totem and the frenzied berserker, i doubt that your players would be very happy with that, but i totally see what you mean. i believe, i'm not sure, but that there was a spell in the PHB2 called 'regroup' that a person...

if your DM allows LA-buyoff, i'd say go for it. being 1/4 of a level behind the rest of the party, but having the karsite's abilities is pretty sweet. if not, i'd wager that a karsite would be a pretty formidable psychic warrior. i DM a campaign with one and he's just hit 8th level; he burns...

that's probably my bad - i play a realms campaign and they recommend saying that 'incarnum' is the weave, to some extend. thusly, i felt it was arcane. so i do retract my bias. however, the following in an early interview does indicate that we're technically both wrong, but i may just be a lazy...

since they're literally the spawn of grand and fallen arcanist of Netheril, Karsus, i also include that they can't use any arcane magic, or arcane-like magic. so no warlock, incarnum or psionics. this last one may be a bone of contention, but their abilities are incredibly powerful to be dropped...

initiative can be deadly, especially when you have people who are flat-footed. i believe the soulmeld 'bluesteel bracers' can be shared at higher levels - it gives an initiative bonus dependant upon the essentia invested into it. considering that incarnum is based on character level, rather...

this damned board just at a well thought out and fairly lengthy post, so i'll try to summarise it here: a druid, wild shaped into an eagle, 140 feet above the battle field using call lightning. your spells go 150 feet and anyone trying to spot you will have a -14 on said check. then try to use...

i'd wager that just because you have four 'aid' memorised, doesn't really mean everyone is going to use or want them. i highly doubt that other NPCs would rush to his door on the news that a semi-retired PC has taken up residence in town and is selling stuff like cure light wounds and detect...

at first glance, i wanna say Fiend Folio...but my books are currently in Ottawa; I am not, so I cannot check :)

IMC i tend to play the mental attributes in the following manner: low charisma i usually represented by lack of eye-contact, stammering, obvious unease around people, unwillingness to touch and a fairly hard time interacting with others, even for the basics. alternately, they could speak...

i noticed this line, in the text regarding creating magical items: yet i found nothing co-relating to this within the text regarding psionic item creation. am i missing something? either way, i'm going to house rule that you can get psionic items at a lesser caster level if you need it...

my mistake: 'living corpse' should've been 'corpse creature'. corpse creatures are essentially like a zombie (but with natural armour and a boost to strength), but retains its mental abilities. resurrection, even as a scroll is a shade too expensive for the group's wealth, even as treasure. i'm...

excellent replies all. it's got me thinking about what - and how - i could swing this to be spooky but also memorable. if they encounter her within an urban setting, i'm thinking that the evil NPCs that bested her party will have locked them up in a vault and left them to die. since one of the...

in another campaign i run, a character has requested a cohort and i'm trying to think of an interesting way to introduce it. the whole "saving from enemies" has already been done and i'm kinda hoping to really make it memorable. what i have planned, is that the cohort's group was TPK'd in an...

i do think that scurvy did cut at the core of the problem - myself and others are perhaps more invested than these two are. it's only annoying, insofar that some really cool options, such as summoning, dispelling, counterspelling, ect. aren't being used at all. i should probably de-invest...

assuming that you've not read over the jist of the thread, the problem was originally that some players would rely upon one or two spells only, even if there were better fits for the encounter. this normally wouldn't matter, but when it was the party's artillery and main healer, it became...

it seems that at least the cleric was temporarily cured of his insanity. they were fighting a drow necromancer who had an item that increased natural spell resistance so everything they tried bounced off of him. although healthy, their spells were quickly running out. the cleric used a scroll...

i'd hope for your sake that he doesn't decide to include a stupid rule that hurts you every time that you try to accomplish what your character role is. i mean, wouldn't it seem pretty dumb if the party tank mysteriously injured himself every time that he swung his axe, or if the rogue had to...

@roguerogue: I explained the red tiger appeared to be a mountain lion, with vicious eyes and a bloody sheen to its claws, but was the size of a small horse. i also explained it was watching them intently, but didn't appear as if 'on edge' or 'ready to pounce'. this is when someone decided to...

i realize this too. i'll explain the last 5 character deaths. also, two of our group of five have never died. one has died once. the remaining two have 7 deaths between them and they are the...cleric and mage :( 1. Whilst setting an ambush for some bugbears who were working for a turncoat...
