Never mind, I misread the message I was replying to.

Wow. And I thought I was a necromancer!

I had a similar objection, not seeing the relevance of dual-wielding to a woodsy class. I was ranting about this at one point to a friend, and commented something along the lines of "I have yet to hear a single good justification for the ranger's automatic two-weapon fighting. In fact, should...

It's "Core Class Idol", not "Base Class Idol." And to agree with a poster above, this sort of thread does seem to be really popular at the moment. I wonder why that might be?

I think there's a time and place for psionics, and it was called Dark Sun. Outside of that, I find psionics to be too out of genre for my tastes. As was previously mentioned, "psychics with psuedomodern terminology" doesn't mesh well with the standard swords & sorcery settings. Further, I...

Actually, you can. Slow has a similar phrase. Dispelling a spell and countering a spell are two distinct effects; why, then, would the spell description mention both if it were not capable of doing both? Now, ordinarily, one uses Slow to dispel a Haste already in effect. It is possible...

Easy: Psion is first alphabetically. :)

The last conjurer I played had Illusion and Enchantment as banned schools. Sure, it hurt to lose basically all Will save based spells, but I love, love, love, LOVE necromancy to death, and couldn't really justify ditching any other schools. In hindsight, I didn't have a whole lot of...

Also, it's a great feat for those who take the Wild Mage prestige class, since it appears to check your caster level after all other modifiers.

Oh, yeah. A couple of times, I've played the only cleric in the party otherwise bereft of divine magic and been a negative-channeler. Gotta be a bit stingier than usual with your healing in that situation.

"Mr. Bester." "Captain Sheridan." "Get the hell out of my chair!" :)

I, for one, would be very interested in reading the Encyclopedia Belkarrica.

I LOVED that appendix. The orc creation story was really well-done. The deity that really stuck with me, and I have no idea why, is that evil neuter giant albino badger gnome god. Nergal, perhaps? No, he's Sumerian. Now I need to go find my UA.

Ah, yes. I had forgotten that. Thanks!

I'm just curious as to what Durkon was going to say before V hushed him. On another note, it'll be really tough to choose sides in this little battle. Both characters are awesome!

For reference, this is Jello: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gelatin_dessert

If there's no way that you'll hit 19 INT, then you have no business whatsoever being a wizard. Even starting with 10 Int, +4 from levels and +6 from a Headband of Intellect or similar magics gives you INT 20 at 16th level.

Wow. As of this post, 244-5 in favor of XP. Most. Lopsided. Poll. Ever.

This is probably not the best means of differentiating the two, as the advancement rules at the time where ep were around were such that you got 1 XP per 1 gp worth of treasure you pulled out of the dungeon. Thus EP as well as XP were involved in levelling. :)

Well, if my wife is to be believed, it did incorporate witches and magic and a demonically-possessed ventriloquist doll and such, so it just might squeak in under the "Not Sci-Fi" wire.
