Exceptions are always the rule around here it seems! Go for it. :D

See? This just goes to prove that levels ARE exponential! :)

The "Sultans of Smack" thread is good, but for our campaign it's too out there in terms of levels to be of any immediate use. Unless of course you use the smack downs to PLAN your PC's career development ahead of time. :D Can anyone direct me to some mid-level smack-downs? 5th thru 8th level...

I am going to have to look into the details of this. This actually sounds worthwhile and useful! Good thinking. But then, we have the blasted problem of communicating with the low-level beasties again. Man, I can't wait until my cleric moves into the Divine Disciple PrC at 9th level. He...

I think Thanee meant that she (?) had the gorilla grab it and then they teleported gorilla and all to the temple. I think. But yeah, communicating with the gorilla might have been a problem. I wonder how it was accomplished.

As has already been explained, Extend is great...which is often followed up by the mighty Persistent feat. I still get chills when I think of a 15th level cleric with a Persistent Divine Power. He would have all the powers of a cleric, while using a fighter's BAB all day long. Oh, and the...

Except of course for anything in a (lowly) Silence spell's area of affect. ;)

No? Well, let me express what my concerns are then... >>> Rant mode is now ON <<< First, here are the actions listed in the PHB glossary under "action": 1) Standard Action 2) Partial Action 3) Move-equivalent Action 4) Free Action 5) Full Round Action (not to be confused with 1 full round)...

You don't do it anymore, eh? Must be cause they needed a team to blame for that action system. :) RP, regarding your poll, I voted that we use the Identify rules as is. Which is yet one more reason clerics are cool: Free identifies! Let me tell you, I would hate to pay 100 GPs to...

So Agge, you are an offical playtester for WOTC? Kewl. Thru RPGA? How long you been doing that? Also, you gotta tell me, are they EVER planning on cleaning up the complicated action system? And moreover, what were you playtesters THINKING when you approved it?? ;) The whole thing...

D'OH!!

Ok, I am a little slow on all these acronyms. I figured out "ELHb", but what does "ups" and "NDA" mean? I see a "d'oh!" coming on my part... ;)

How exactly do you guys handle the Knowledge(Arcana) checks (DC, etc.) and how much info do you get? Just curious.

Not to start trouble, Aggemam, but I don't understand your point. How can you say "No."...and then go on to mention that the reason is because of a rule in a book that is not even out yet? For NOW, the answer is "YES", that's all Identify can do.

I just started reading this long thread so I hope what I am about to say is not old news by now... Sure, you can pick at 3E, but once you do you better be prepared for the consequences. If you drop a single rule element, you may find a snowball effect as the whole balance of the game starts to...

Man, I am REALLY hoping 4E will use something similar to this. I am in complete agreement that the current rules are convoluted, especially for beginning and intermediate players. I am going to print your suggestions out and hand them around to our group to see what they think. Thanks! Can...

Perfect. :cool:

Say! I like it. Write something up! I think a single spell, one or two levels lower than anti-magic shell, that will allow you to choose at the time of casting what school of magic to defend against, should cover it.

I agree with all this, RC. But, for a long-term adventuring career, I would rather have a PC that is good (note, not average) at a lot of things, then great at a few. ;) Bottom line, look at a cleric's abilities collectively, and not individually, and you will see that the whole is greater...

Respectfully, I don't recall the saves in 1E being anything like this. A high level fighter had a good chance to save against the Spells or Paralyzation column. In 3E, a Will save is pretty much cruddy all the way to 20th for the hapless fighter. I do agree about the party tactics being...
