sukael: That reminds me, I wonder what support there will be in 4e for playing ghosts. moritheil: I wonder what support there will be in 4e for playing anthropomorphic baleen whales. (Yes, I willingly and facetiously took on the role of both munchkin and person who imagines 4e will be 3e with...

When it refers to "favored enemies" it means all favored enemies. Of course for something like Dodge you can only have one dodge target . . .

You have to look very carefully at wording if you want to pull that trick. Most such abilities include "to living creatures" in their wording.

"At this point I am not inclined to favor one option over others," says Roillard. "The lady is exceptionally dangerous, but then, all options are dangerous. If she agrees, she will doubtless try to use us, and it is difficult to say how we are being used and when we should be cautious when we...

This is wrong, and I suspect it is part of why you contend so mightily against the conclusion other posters have reached. The environment does not cause them to do anything but drown. Holding your breath, like choosing to swim instead of walk, is a conscious activity. When you do stop holding...

Sure, but to me at least, 5 minutes is not plausible as a hard limit. Just going from popular music examples, 'American Pie' is over 10 minutes 30 seconds, isn't it? It has one singer singing throughout. The 5 minutes you suggested as the length of a song is an arbitrary (and loose) radio...

"Come to think of it," reasons Rosa, "our associate could tell us a little more about possible countermeasures to our plans. A kobold ought to know about traps and a priest ought to know about priestly magic."

Didn't mean to call you out or anything - my message was aimed at my fellow players. I was making a list to try to keep track of chars but it was incomplete. :D Put Ichiru wherever, since he's been out of the action after being under the collapsing building. Perhaps he escaped and went...

A similar question was very recently asked here in the rules forum. You might look there. Mother cyst is usually advisable, particularly as it gives you the capacity for intrigue. Corpsecrafter is good but be wary of its restrictions: undead must be created/animated by you alone to benefit...

But with the treant, none of it comes down to a single roll that you die if you botch. The psychological impact of that cannot be overstated. They really just do not scale well with level - a few levels more and they get annihilated before getting within range. A few levels less and they are...

In some campaign settings (Dragonlance, I think) clerics can bless corpses and thereby prevent them from rising, but I get the feeling that what you want is not as simple as a consecrate effect. ("Undead cannot be created within or summoned into a consecrated area.") The problem is that those...

I hadn't thought about it that way; good catch. I really think that's it. For a dip, Crusader has the best refresh mechanic, hands-down.

Yeah, epic spell design is problematic to say the least. In this case there was a hidden clause in an epic seed that I missed. You would think they would put 2 mile radius in the options for area, but for some reason they didn't.

This is surely far from the only example of a mistake in the epic rules, but I was curious about the area of effect for this spell: One would expect energy to be the cause of the 2 mile radius, but no: Can anyone account for this 2 mile radius? EDIT: never mind, I found it.

I've heard good things about Master of Shrouds, and the Mother Cyst feat from LM. 3e Pale Master used to be a passable dip but no longer. One important thing to figure out early on is what your DM thinks of items, feats, and spells that boost the number of undead you can control. If he or she...

Well, this came about because Warblade > Fighter, and splashing a level of Fighter with levels of Wizard was the old way to do a fighter/mage: Wiz 4/Ftr 1/Spellsword 1/Eldritch Knight (or other PrC) X. There are two lost caster levels in there and two lost BAB points. If making a martial...

Depending on how many enemies you hit, you can heal a ton of damage. Also see Apostle of peace, crusader, divine champion, bard builds, psion egoist builds, etc . . .

I'd like everyone to have a say in what happens next.

Limits are a good idea, but that's not even long enough for a single battle or concert. I realize that most encounters are over with in a matter of rounds, but to say that someone with dozens of ranks in Perform can't keep playing an instrument for longer than 5 minutes strikes me as a little...

"Althen, High Priest of Pholtus, was originally from this area. His power is significant, and his spirited defense of the town has brought others to his cause. He originally returned to fight against the goblins and their allies, and it was he who slew the chief of their frost giant...
