    Bizarre Tactics & Combos

    First a questionable rules interpretation. unseen servant is used by a 1rst level sorcerer to load one of his 2 heavy crossbows every round. The sorcerer uses a move equivelent to switch weapons each round and shoots to make a stanadard action. Now a less questionable rules interpratation...

    Bizarre Tactics & Combos

    "You see a beholder" "My 12th level elven wizard casts anti-magic shell on himself and takes that longbow off of his back for the first time since 5th level."

    What feat to take?

    If your feat choices are really open I'd sugest pressing attack from FFG's path of the sword (and dragonstar). If an opponant in your threat range takes a five foot step away from you you can once per round interrupt their action to take a five foot step towards them. (thus keeping them in...

    Famous Wizards' Names

    I have a dificult time pronouncing the word "fifth without the second f. I'm of the opinion that people who pronounce the second f in the word are using the standard pronunciation that they learned as a child, while people who do not are engaging in adolescent behaivior by trying to show how...

    I have a dificult time pronouncing the word "fifth without the second f. I'm of the opinion that people who pronounce the second f in the word are using the standard pronunciation that they learned as a child, while people who do not are engaging in typical adolescent behaivior by trying to...

    1st level wizard design

    I chose Grey elf from the DMG as a race (penaties to str and con bonuses to int and dex). The longbow was my best friend until around level 5. (I also have a fond memory of a longsword crit I did in our first adventure, but really you don't ever want to go into combat) I took evocation as a...

    How does the Paladin stack up?

    As for the mount not working in the dungeon. You can play a 1/2ling paladin and ride your paladin's war dog inside almost any dungeon around. That 1 smite per day becomes very dangerous when you've got spirited charge availible anyplace you go.

    Items and buff spells stacking?

    Nope, they're both enhancement.

    Do gems dissolve in acid?

    Re: Gems and Acids Nitpick dimonds are isometric not octahedral. Sorry, I've had too much mineralogy. I can't really control it anymore. Edit; unless you meant that the carbons are sitting in octahedral sites. I guess in that case you couild describe the "matrix" as octahedral. I just...

    Disarm with Reach?

    I rule that they can't use thier AoO on anything that isn't in their threat range.

    sustained spell

    People in my Wednesday night game recently informed me of this (apparently extremely broken) feat. I assured my fellow players that I had never seen it and that I had no plans to over-twink the character I had in the game any more than I already had. It occurs to me however the DM in my...

    Improved metamagic and items (ELH)

    The text of the improved metamagic feat With regard to the creation of wands and such I'd not allow this feat to apply. I'd use rule 0 to do it because I think that the wording of the feat implies that improved metamagic does work with scroll creation and the like. Would you allow it to work...

    Epic Progression & Prestige Classes

    Well you progress as an epic character (saves and epic attack bonus) but you still use the normal wizard progression until you are a level 20 wizard. (Kind of a bummer for you, but don't try and tell me that 5 levels of archmage aren't worth more than 1.66 epic bonus feats.)

    Epic spells and the Epic Caster (unfair balence of power?)

    I know that it's been said earlier in the thread but I'd like to point out again that epic spells are not the only way for an high level spell caster to develop. By judicious use of multi spell, increased spell capacity, and improved metamagic a character can cast 3 twinned meteor swarms per...

    Sultans of Smack

    Metamagic feats would not up the dc for the save . This item would have a save dc of 23. (10 + 9th spell level + minimum stat ).

    Building a magic bow?!?!?!?!???

    I believe that you need a +1 magical enhancement bonus before you can add any other abilities. I'd do +1 and 3 energy types or +1, one energy and holy. I do think that rackhir had a point worth investigating with the burst weapons. You should check to see which does better average damage (1...

    2 Epic questions

    A fortieth level character with maxed out ranks in spot, a +8 wisdom stat bonus, and epic skill focus spot still needs to roll a 19 in order to reach DC 80. Certainly you could take epic skill focus more than once and wear an epic version of eyes of the eagle if you wished. In general I...

    PrClasses and domains

    I don't have a rule reference that could be of help to you. Instead I have something even more valuble. My unverified, unreliable opinion. Caster level. without question ;)
