Approaching 30th level should be like approaching the speed of light. The closer you get, the harder it is to get there. If I were running an Epic tier group, there would be more game sessions than usual between levels.

Good points. Invisibility requires a standard action to maintain, so it is not a combat spell.

Unfortunately the Players Handbook is very sparse in its definition. Again the Players Handbook is very sparse in its definition of invisibility. We interpreted the rule as having invisibility include all items you are wearing or carrying when the spell was cast. With a floating disk being the...

Thank you Delgar, that was a very enjoyable read. If not for the bump, I would have missed this. When in a game, it is a pleasure to be with other gamers who have infused character into their character, and who understand how to play it well. And it is also great to see a DM who has his stuff...

Yes, especially if you are close to your opponent. But floating by someone two squares away (without metal weapons or armor) at a rate of six squares, to me, seems pretty darn undetectable. Stealth failures usually result from leaving footprints, noisy walking, or clanking armor. All three have...

Play experience creates a need for new ways to look at rules. My wizard came up from first level, and the DM was very tough on us when we didn't think things out. Like walking on a dusty floor or creaky floor while invisible. Yes there are times when I have cast invisibility on others, like the...

I just started a first level 3.5E character, the first in many years, and it really hit home how much more survivable my 4.0E character was at first level. The more I play 4.0E, the more it grows on me. Every system I played in that I enjoyed was heavily house-ruled... AD&D, 2.0E and 3.5E...

Not enough selection of at-wills in 4e? As a Wizard I am very happy with my choices, I chose Magic Missile and Scorching Burst. And then there are the at-will cantrips.

Any Wizard who walks while Invisible deserves to be perceived. Has anyone here actually played a Wizard beyond 6th level, or are they just quoting rules?

Our gaming sessions (3-3.5 hrs) consisted of three encounters per session, one or two were combats. As far as advancement went, we threw XP out the window. Levels 01-05: Three Levels 06-10: Four Levels 11-13: Five Levels 16-60: Six Levels 21-25: Seven Levels 26-30: Eight Unfortunately our...

This will improve with DM familiarity of the material (encounter, monsters and mechanics), and player familiarity with their own characters abilities and powers. That's what worked for us. What level were the characters, and for how long was your group playing?

My Wizard has used Invisibility about a dozen times on himself, and about a half dozen times on others. We use Arcana+5 vs Preception. If I am not walking and do not leave a trail or make a sound, how does that effect my Stealth? There is no good answer as given in an core book. And what...

Dice rolls are used for randomization, for encounters and such. Randomization in permanent characteristics can lead to a permanent imbalance. Since the 2.0E days, we had used 18-16-14-12-10-08 as starting stats, which is equal to a 22 point buy-in with the two +2 increases you get in 4.0E...

How much would an invisible Tenser's Floating Disk add to their Stealth?

1) Ambush the characters at night with lesser encounters. Barrage the campsite with arrows while a few minions attack in malee. I've done this numerous times to harass the characters, not kill them. It keeps them paranoid and on their toes. 2) Allow them to spot a monster or a few circling...

Ahhh... thank you, I agree completely! We did alot of interesting things with the Eversmoking Bottle, including provide cover for ourselves.

I could be wrong, and I often am. I believe that the change from 3.5E to 4.0E was the biggest change, and others say the change from 2.0E to 3.0 (or 3.5E) were bigger. I would like to use this thread as a civil, fact based discussion of rule changes from any edition to the next edition, and how...

As someone who played mostly spell casters, I found very little compatibility between 3.5E and 4.0E, including the disappearance of the Cleric as a spell caster. And the spells were mostly the same going from 2.0E to 3.5E (I missed 3.0E). And even with my Fighter, I found the change from 2.0E...

?????

There would be a way to figure this out, by looking at release dates. But through the life of 3.5E (to the best of my knowledge) there were on DMG, two Players handbooks, and five or six Monster Manuals. Please, I find your tone in this post and your previous one toward me insulting. Let's try...
