    The exact power of wish

    You know you bring up a good point. It occurs to me that none of this would be a problem if Wish was removed from the spell lists and simply kept as a powerful magical effect available only to gods and artifacts. Life would be so much more simpler then because the discovery, granting, and...

    The exact power of wish

    Well, fortunately, since Miracle is under your god's control, this means less chance for a mishap and a guaranteed (?) good result. Overall, as has already been stated Miracle is MUCH better and more widely used, I would imagine. Does anybody want to take a guess at how valuable a magic item...

    The exact power of wish

    Wasn't their a LONG thread not too long ago that talked about this whole Miracle vs. Wish thing? They even brought up the item creation requirements, like Berk did. If I recall, the majority thought was that Miracle couldn't do things that Wish specifically stated, like inherent stat...

    "Candle of Invocation" Questions

    Hong, Hypersmurf, you guys are too funny...:D Thanks for all the responses so far guys. But, it looks like no one has addressed my questions directly yet: 1) How long does the candle need to be lit for the "prior to" spell preparation option? 2) Do the +2 cleric levels help against SR? 3)...

    "Candle of Invocation" Questions

    Hey dude, not for nothing, but I don't understand much of your post. What do you mean I need Gate and to be 17th level? For what? And "once I'm there"? Once I'm where? Acts as a "wand of gate"?? What, a single use wand of Gate? A "perterpet of wisdom" ? It's much more than a Periapt of...

    "Candle of Invocation" Questions

    Hey, no replies yet? That's odd on THIS forum. I am the only one that thinks these candles are a bit overpowered for the price then? :eek:

    "Candle of Invocation" Questions

    I just ran across this little gem while browsing the magical item list in the SRD. (Don't tell my DM.) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Candle of Invocation Each of these specially blessed tapers is dedicated to one of the nine alignments. Simply burning the candle generates a favorable aura for the...

    Luck bonuses question

    Ok everyone, I understand the chart on page 177 now. At the time I looked at it, I was only interested in the Luckstone. Had I looked at the other entries, things may have been clearer. Thanks for the all the responses!

    Luck bonuses question

    Ok then, so what you guys are saying is that in the case of the Stone of Good Luck, it only applies to what's listed in the magic item description. What threw me off was that page 177 entry. It lists everything the bonus can apply to and then has the Stone of Luck right there as an example...

    Luck bonuses question

    In the DMG page 177 is says that Luck bonuses improve: attacks, weapon damage, AC, saves, and checks. It then goes on to list a Stone of Good Luck as a sample magic item that grants this type of bonus. But on page 227 of the same book, under Stone of Good Luck, it says that the luck bonus only...

    Pearl of Power?

    Wow! Can you tell me exaclty how the sorcerer can fire off 20+ in a day? Also, acid arrow IS powerful. Good thing a lowly 0-level Create Water spell poured over the victim can dilute most of the damage. ;) A large waterskin works almost as good too.

    Why exactly 1st level kobolds are scary (Smackdown)

    But why bother taking two rounds to kill them when you can just shoot these uber-AC kobolds with Magic Missile? A single Magic Missile should be able to take out a kobold. Or better yet, take out the whole lot of them with Sleep, or Color Spray, or Hypnotism, or etc, etc, etc.. My point is...

    Shield spell armor type

    And as well he SHOULD, what with all that cool magic floating around him. ;) (It's obvious I play spellcasters a lot.)

    True Strike and Disarm.

    I am willing to bet that a True Strike will not help you much against the BABs of THOSE guys. No way would I ever try it. If you do, well then you are aptly named. ;)

    Proctection from Evil vs. Poison?

    Would the Protection from Evil spell give you a +2 on the FORT save against the poison on an evil person's sword? Along the same lines, how about if the poison was part of a natural attack, like a bite? One of our players argued that the poison itself, once in your bloodstream, is not...

    How much reality do you use?

    Isn't this an oxymoron? :)

    Alternative to familiars?

    This whole topic reminds of the Lord of the Rings movie. It looked like a large part of Gandalf and Saruman's power were tied to their staffs.

    Permanent Righteous Might

    I am with you, Malin. It has always seemed pretty clear to me too. A magical item is "permanent", and it only gets supressed temporarily...so why not a permanenced spell as well? Also, about Mordy's Disjunction spell. I have often given that spell much thought since someday my cleric of...

    "Only" 46 AC, eh? You call THAT a smack down? ;) But, er, where is this Forsaker class from? Doesn't seem core to me. :(
