First, let me say that as a GM, I'd not allow someone to use contorted logic chains like this in an attempt to get Permenant Miracles. Rules or no rules... Not to mention that Miracle isn't on the list of spells that you can make Permenant. But setting that aside, I do enjoy rules theory and...

So you often see someone roll 10d6 and get all 6s? I need you rolling my stats... You can't maximize a Flamestrike unless you are 16th level. That's in the core rules. This feat as printed in CD allows a 10th level caster to maxaimize a Flamestrike. That's 6 levels of difference...

Uh, I copied them directly from the SRD. I'm way to lazy to type that all in by hand. Copy, paste and Excel made the magic happen... As I pointed out above, many of those spells if turned into items might take more XP. Even if they didn't the trade-off seems to be: The spells are dispellable...

I don't see why people think Permanancy should be changed. Sure, it costs some XP - but no gold. And while it can be dispelled, the fact that you can extend a spell way past it's usual duration is worth something - even if you only keep it for 5 or 6 encounters before it drops. I mean, 500 XP...

Again, a single feat, perhaps combined with a single item (if your original CHA isn't high enough) is not exclusive of other options. That's like saying, "well, the wizard took Craft Arms and Armor, and now has a +4 magic Staff - man he's gonna be one useless wizard now..." A cleric with this...

So if you made a cleric, and your DM said, "You can have any item in the game.... except a cloak of protection" - would you just throw your hands up in the air? Would you say, "A cleric without a cloak of protection?!? Why, it's just not done man! That's not even possible! How can you even...

Why choose 4 maximizes? Even one or two above the limit is too much, and that is attainable with just a decend CHA, a +6 item, and a feat. And the decent CHA with a +6 item has uses beyond the feat - so the claim that it's a one trick pony are erroneous. Even houseruling that the spells...

That all depends on what the artifacts the PCs have do. In this sitiuation, the CR system doesn't really apply. I ran a campaign on a similar note. An elf was attempting to ascend, and had already attained divine rank 1. However, the PCs had artifacts that basically negated or protected...

Soon we will be able to see what is really out there without government filtration. Um, if you believe in that sort of thing of course. :) *Looks around nervously* Uh, but I'm sure that everything will be fine.... yeah...

And you've missed my point: a player might buy Maximize Spell to use as-is. Later, if he desires, he can purchase Divine Metamagic, to convert turning attempts to Maximizes. That's one feat. True. That's why I used another feat. One that is convincing. You cannot judge the effectiveness...

No, it doesn't take 3 feats. It takes one feat - the previous 2 feats have a function all their own. Let's say you want to add a new radio to your car. When you are deciding what to do, you don't think to yourself, "Hmm, step one in getting a new radio is to buy a car..." That's because you...

I have to say that for a new campaign, starting at 1st level (or even pre-1st, as I did my current campaign) is much more fun. First, it allows you to use monsters in ways that you normally couldn't. Things like regular animals, or a single kobold or goblin. Those really low CRs like 1/4 and...

Hmm... That's very interesting idea... Quietly scribbles in notebook. Yes, very interesting idea...

Ahh! Immortality! :) I'm honored. Thank you very much!

IMC now, players who join (and there has been one) obviously create characters above 1st level. Actually, they create 20th level characters, since the majority of the party is 21st level. There is one player though who has kept his character from the beginning of the campaign - which started at...

Actually, yes. :) The core books are good enough for all the NPCs, evil masterminds, armies of destruction, and terrible monsters that the PCs will face. Why shouldn't the core rules be good enough for the PCs too? I am curious, do you DM a game? I ask because a player usually doesn't...

Here's the thing: WoTC isn't producing stuff to the common denominator. They are producing books that escalate the power levels of players. Players buy more books than DMs, and that's their target market. They aren't trying to keep the game balanced - that's the DM's job. They are trying to...

Yowza! I missed that. I bet that reincarnated person will have an interesting story to tell once they return to the Outer Planes... "Well, I got cursed, so the cleric tried to Break the curse. But he Broke my body by accident..." I suppose Reincarnate should become Conjuration like the other...

While it is a Transmutation, the duration is Instantaneous. Thus, it isn't dispelable or breakable. Once cast, the magic is used up instantly - the spell isn't still running.

Bah. I've got better things to do that to fix all the broken crap WoTC keeps shoveling. I'm running a living world, with depth and history. If WoTC wants my money, they need to quit pandering uber abilities to the toybabies and put out something that is usable in an established campaign...
