    Military tactics vs. high-level spellcasters

    Contact the druids. The druids do a controlled culling of animals to level up, and then assist your attack.

    1001 Merchant Caravans

    9) Gessal's Pilgrimage to Pelor's Reach This small, low level pilgrimage is a pilgrimage from a frontier town. They are usually a struggling motley band ranging from 20 to 70 individuals depending on the season. Several times in the past these pilgrimages have been wiped out, but faith is a...

    Building a character is like designing a magic deck...

    Idle thought. Put feats on index cards and then lay them out on the floor.

    When are rogues "really" necessary anymore? if at all...

    Oh, that. We replaced our rogue with a druid with maxed out diplomacy and a bag of tricks (to detect traps). And the wizard has mount spell to detect traps as well. Druid spells and wildshape give incredible mobility and reconnaissance abilities (nothing like a house cat or mouse for recon)...

    Military tactics vs. high-level spellcasters

    "That epic mage with the correct spell seeds is unavailable at this CR sir." "Rats."

    Strangest character quirks

    For me: 1) Agonizer addiction for my Klingon doctor. 2) My ultra crazy collected nose hairs. And bio implants (which rotted).

    Mearls on Balance in D&D

    I assume nothing however... 1) It's called a duel. Bardic college sponsored duel. Or something. 2) Or a singing duel a play off. 3) Or not.

    Mearls on Balance in D&D

    Evil Bard is killing good bards. Who says he doesn't have some good bard stuff? besides a +X chain shirt is a +X chain shirt. Yeah, it might go to the ranger. Oh, well... A magical musical instrument that double's the bard's bonuses isn't too disruptive. And as for selling it. Just put on...

    Mearls on Balance in D&D

    Say the bard is underpowered. Well, have an evil bard loaded with magic items attack. Now the bard has a better power boost. Solution done.

    What source book is a "rook" in?

    Is there a D20 conversion for it?

    Which Is The Best Spontaneous Divine Casting Class?

    And that's why I voted for them. Summoning.

    Looting and the State

    My group sees it as bide your time, pay your taxes and scope out the new "dungeon." If the taxes are onerous. Gather information, scrying, shmoozing with the army and being very subtle. Not in my experience. And later on kill armies. I run campaigns from level 1 to about 30 ish. That's how...

    Which Is The Best Spontaneous Divine Casting Class?

    A vote for druids, then.

    Dealing with powergamers

    My suggestion? Beef up the non-power gamers with magic items. Subtlety. If your rogue sucks, use a rogue loaded with magic items to attack, etc... If your cleric sucks, have an evil cleric attack loaded with magic items. When he complains say it's a rogue, that's what he was carrying. If...

    8) Pack of the Ferals Feral Druids staff this convoy with awakened trees. Cast wood shape on a sapling, then plant growth repeatedly, and then awaken. These awaked pack trees are controlled by the leadership feat. Cargo mechs that fight. Because they are tree kin they are mostly...

    You've toppled the King. Now What?

    Right, so treat adventurers nicely. Absolutely, so now loot the enemy countries, first by guerrilla warfare and hit and run raids then when they are weak take them down. Think XP. Correctamundo, so hit the treasury first. Gather information and scrying is your friend. And get the crown jewels.

    Looting and the State

    And in DnD it's worth XP's as well, if done right. And get XP's for it! Yup. And make sure you know what you face and where the treasury is.

    You've toppled the King. Now What?

    You should have waited a coupla levels, and plan.

    Bree Yark!

    According to the Encyclopedia Galactica, the repository of all knowledge: Bree Yark is Altarian for "There's a squid on my face." Which is almost universally considered odd since there are no squids on Altair, nor do Altarians have faces, yet it is in wide use on Altair.
