Save or die spells, in this situation, are really cheesy. If there were no other signs beforehand that pointed to a replaced party member, such as odd behavior, that someone could pick up on, then it's just going to be 100% kill one more party member and start the battle from there. How much...

sounds like someone just wants to start right up with the two broken maneuver scenario that cropped up a while back, but they want to have it start in the first round of combat every time. ;) uber, blast, repeat...

because orcs make good hammers. not everyone wants to be a wrench or a crowbar, they just want to break stuff. orcs have, what, +4 STR?

(Greater) Magic Weapon - enhancement bonuses make hardness and hit points higher.

more like .."he claws at you ineffectively...make a fort save" :\ it's not about ruining the suspense, it's about screwing you over just because you were lucky enough to have a defense against a situation that doesn't come around every day. D%D is all about fighting something different every...

In the epic game I played a while back, at some point (pre-epic) a halfling PC gained a keep and followers from the Deck of Many Things. Hilarity ensues.. The party kept going off to adventure, and when they got back, half the followers would be dead from some villain tracking the party back...

and maybe in 4th edition, the carrion crawler's tentacle poison will actually get qualified as poison. :p my crusader did the maneuver that gives DR5/adamantine for one round, then took 3 hits from some ghouls' claws and bites, none of which did any damage through my DR, and my DM made me...

Mostly, bludgeoning weapons are used for caving in armor and causing trauma to the person inside it. That sword might just skitter off an arm plate, but a hammer could dent it, and/or numb the arm inside it just enough to give you an advantage. You're essentially hitting it with the same tool...

that sure sounds like he got too close to a chipper-shredder :p

nope, no restrictions there, so with my BAB of +4, my CE pumping my AC by 4 and my PA pumping my damage by 8 (2H weapon) for a total of -8 to my attack rolls is quite legal. there is nothing that can reduce your BAB except failing a Fort save 24 hours after a negative level hits you and/or...

ooh, nice. that gets around all the time limits on the Glowing Christmas Light Party of Doom! ;)

Looks like all your skill challenges are going to be Jump, Climb, Swim.

I'd say let the bead make its reflex save as it went through the Blade Barrier, and give it evasion for free so it's all or nothing, and use the caster's saves to see if it gets through or detonates.

Mostly, I want to play humans, so they can really come to life in the game. But: 1. 3.5 pretty much requires you to have darkvision. 2. Most people seem to play "whatever race gives the most plusses for the class they want to play" 3. I'm too tired to think of a number 3 :heh: 4. every...

The 1d4 rounds thing was designed so dragons didn't just breathe a constant jet of flame/frost/whatever until every adventuring party was completely wiped out. It's like a psion going nova for the 3 rounds of his NPC life. I've been in a group that fought a dragon that had insane save DCs and...

Luck must be with me, because you can do several free actions per round. Oh, and Wraithstrike is a Swift Action, while Arcane Strike is a free action.

Wraithstrike + Whirling Blade + Arcane Strike + full Power Attack.

hit the rogue with it, and the wizard, not the fighter and cleric. ;)

2 spells and 3 feats. Wraithstrike, Arcane Strike, Combat Expertise and Improved Combat Expertise. DM pulled this one on us, and the dragons never missed, and had ACs in the 70s, with a 40+ touch AC, while we had one guy in the mid 40s, and a one with a 26 touch AC. Though we found out later...
