Actually the restoration spells are very specific about what they do. There are 3 levels, and even just plain restoration won't bring someone completely back to their "normal" status: 1. Lesser restoration: Dispels magical effects reducing target's ability scores OR restores 1d4 ability damage...

Yes, there are lots of spells in DnD that you have to kinda ignore sometimes in order to play the game. For instance, why wouldn't a couple of clerics open up a tavern and just "create food and water" three times a day to make a living? There are many others that could effectively break the...

I don't think what you did was that spineless - as long as you chraged the party a healthy sum for that restoration potion.... but if you just gave it away, free of charge, then that is kinda weak. You don't have to be a complete jerk, just give them options when they get hurt or injured (or...

Again guys, thanks for the replies. I should let you know I'm a pretty perceptive person and not afraid of confrontation or addressing problems as they come up. Nevertheless, I'm not exactly barraged with alternative gaming options. If I could find another group that is as dynamic as this one...

Really? So it hasn't changed from 3.0 (ie., receive the BAB of a fighter of your same level), they just reworded it to enhance confusion. Nice.

It is, under almost every circumstance, not worth taking. This is why our DM kept the feat at +2 (though she did get rid of Greater Spell Focus). I guess if your DM is really adamant about going "by the book" the only SF I personally would take is conjuration in order to obtain the "augment...

Divine power says: "Your base attack bonus becomes equal to your character level (which may give you additional attacks),....." So here's my question - I've got a 7th level cleric with a normal BAB of +5. According to this spell does his BAB become a +7 or does it become +6/+1? Thanks.

hee hee. Funny thread - and since it's almost done I'd like to hijack it a bit. Simple question, really. Can rogues use UMD to read (and use) divine scrolls? I don't really see anything about this in the rules, so I assume the answer is yes, but it seems like there should be some kind of...

Darkness - I agree with your analysis and appreciate your post. In general I like when people try to come up with a solution. I believe my DM knows (or is realizing that) 6th-level PCs just aren't going to 'hang' with the wizard which is why my PC instantly zoomed up to 7th level in one...

In Karnak's defense, I have to say the thread count focusing on angelboi's status appears to be increasing daily. Furthermore, his posts can be a bit on the explicit side. Sure, AIDS can really wrack a person's health and angelboi also has my sympathy, but I have to agree that the posts are...

Thanks Arksorn - but one question....I keep seeing the term "house rules" all over your site. Does the ref. doc. you provide include rules directly from the PHB/DMG or are there some "house rules" inside? I just want to confirm that the ref. doc. actually reflects the rules as written. Thanks!

Darkness - I just started a PC at 6th level (entry level) and it levelled over the course of the last session (I actually gained almost 10,000XP, if that gives you an idea of the CR the party is facing). We faced a gibbering monster, some creatures that have tremor-sense and come out of the...

I did a couple sessions back - basically I noted that occasionally all the other players will miss a session while her husband will, obviously, never miss a session. This was a way to indirectly note the power difference between her hubby's PC and ours. Her response was basically, "You're right...

Thanks for all the advice, guys. I think I'm just going to ride it out. If anything else major occurs I will have a one-on-one with the DM. I don't think I can pull off killing the pegasus - as gratifying as that might be, it would be risky and expensive for my PC to pull off and would require...

Thanks Arksorn. Be sure to make a new thread and put "GET YER 3.5 CHEAT SHEETS!!!" all in caps. Because we will be coming. :)

Oh. Dear. Thanks for putting things in perspective. I would have major issues with that group, no doubt. As I've said it's not the end of the world - I still get jazzed before every session and the DM knows her stuff. My fear is that the higher we get in level the worse it's going to...

The wizard is high enough level to cast "Waves of Fatigue" twice - which probably makes him 11th. As for Moe's suggestion - my last PC was pretty much what you describe. I had a cleric of Sune5/bard 1 with an 18 charisma and lots of Diplomacy. Our sessions don't seem to incorporate too much in...

Loki, I assume you are the DM, so you should also know the strengths and weaknesses of the party. Obviously a water elemental going up against a party of 6 rogues is going to be yield a different encounter than a water elemental going up against a party of 3 barbarians and 3 wizards. Also...

Hopefully nobody in my group will see this, otherwise I may find myself disinvited....but hopefully some of you out there can offer some advice with the current situation: -All in all, my group is very cool. Everyone is mature, friendly and focused. There are usually anywhere between 4-7 people...

Good point about the fire spells. Nevertheless, water elementals are slow and don't have any SR. Also, was the elemental or party not touching water? That's a -4 to attack & damage for the elemental right there. The PCs might not know this about the creature, but it would make sense that a water...
