I just mentioned in another thread that sometimes my 1E upbringing gets in the way of playing 3E, and this just must be another example of it. Way back in 1E, our PCs would be like in their 30's or so by the time they got to mid levels. In the current 3E game we are playing, my PC started...

I can't think of any spellcaster worth their salt that DO NOT have the DC bumped up a lot higher than this. High stats, Spell Prodigy, Heighten Feat, Spell Focus, etc, etc.... Look at a high level fighter's Will save progression. It's laughable. Most spellcaster's can OWN them with Will...

While I disagree that 6 seconds is not enough time to get a nice kill, my 1E upbringing IS having a hard time getting used to the short combat rounds. The 6 second time limit is really noticable whenever you want to do something as simple as communicate with your team members. Our DM is very...

Having been using Commands and Hold Person now for some time, I can tell you they ARE way too powerful for 1st and 2nd level. Here is an easy way to compare, look at all the other higher-level spells that require a Will save and you will see that they generally no NOT take the victim out of...

I am currently playing a 6th level cleric that is 19 years old. Nuff said.

?! Holy cats, Crothian. We ARE talking 3E clerics here are we not? :eek: I can't believe how offhandedly you just disregarded one of, if not THE, most powerful classes in the game. Believe me, turning for clerics in just the icing on the cake. They have sooooooo many other goodies... :D...

Yeah, ok, this all sounds logical for clerics, but what about non-clerics? How strict should the DM be for them? Are there rules/suggestions to help with this? I would think that the DM should treat it like the PC has done an alignment opposed act. No more, no less. That is, look at the big...

Let me guess, the paladin's name is Captain America, right? ;)

Your interpretation of the Air Genasi's breathing ability brings up an interesting question: If an Air Genasi never runs out of breath (air) can they feed this air to others to prevent them from drowning (or breathing noxious vapors outside of the water), such as through a tube or mouth to...

Wow. Pretty amazing Gaiden. But I always wonder the same thing whenever I read a smack-down, and that is this: Does anyone's DM actually ALLOW these kinds of things to take place? I know for sure that my DM would find a loophole, or make one, if ever any one of us tried to use a smackdown...

Of course, Rock to Mud/Mud to Rock is pretty messy even without the Reverse gravity. Plus, think of all the neat area affect spells you can follow those up with now that everyone is trapped/entombed... ;)

Er...I must have missed this somewhere, but it sounds damn interesting. How the hell is this accompished? :D

I am responding to my own quote because I realized how silly it was. Why use an Extended Command to paralyze someone when Hold Person is the same level and so much better? Hold person lasts longer and has a higher DC. But I suppose Extended Command can be used against any creature that can...

Weird. First chance I get I am using an Extended Command then. It'll be worth making the spell second level for that extra round I'll need to CDG the dude.

A mere 2000 gps for a perm 1st level spell on an item? Wow, I am commissioning me a Shield pendant. VERY nice..... :D

Interesting shilsen, I did not know about this ruling. So what then did the Sage say would happen on a Command to "die" if not catatonia? Incidently, the SRD has not been fixed then: ========================== Command Enchantment (Compulsion) [Language-Dependent, Mind-Affecting] Level: Clr 1...

I think I would have to agree with you Dr. Zoom. I was just thinking that if you COULD use visual clues then the following would be possible, which would be BAD: You hold up a large card that says "KILL YOURSELF" to a person that can read and then you Command "Obey." .....ouch. I can see...

Dude, that's pretty elegant. I like it!

My cleric has grown to love all the mind-controlling enchantments available to him. When using spells in battle, he almost exclusively uses Command, Random Action, and Hold Person. I find this type of clean victory over my opponents much cooler, and more to my character's style, than a flashy...

Good point. ;)
