Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil had a beholder encounter in it. I don't remember a whole lot about it, so it didn't stick out that much. Also, (from a player's perspective) it appears that there is a beholder being set up as a major opponent in the Shackled City adventure path series...

Here's the problem. No matter how many holes you plug, they only have to find one you didn't think of. Security is best when it's a broad spectrum of randomly changing measures that don't target one specific vector, but instead behaves in an unpredictable and chaotic manner that attackers...

I'm a HUGE fan of the Monk/Druid combination - Wildshape to something Large/Huge for additional strength bonus to make up for lack of BAB, throw in the increased damage dice for the size increase, and beat the crap out of whatever is facing you. Or grapple smaller targets to death. In...

Dunno about Oregon or Idaho, but in Washington state that statement would read "People from California are disliked by the people from California who already are here." Back in the late '70s, Seattle (which was, and remains the population center of Washington) went through a major downturn as...

Nice to have you back! I understand about the Lost addiction. While you're at it, let me warn you that Battlestar Galactica (the Sci-fi channel series) is an AWFUL hackjob and not worth even bothering to ever watch. No sirree, don't bother with it. Ever. It's truly awful. You'll hate it...

As a native Seattleite, I say Portland. The three main reasons: 1. Their property values haven't gotten quite as insane as up here. 2. Portland seems to have it's collective crap together when it comes to mass transit, whereas Seattle is still in the stone ages. 3. Powells! I'd move, but I've...

Theoretical situation: A rogue uses a scroll of Mordy's Disjunction via Use Magic Device, and Disjoins an artifact, then fails the will save. What happens to him?

Other than being written by the same guy? Why, nothing, nothing at all... :lol:

Or, you could just give every gestalt character a +2LA and be done with it.

This story reminds me of another website I found online a LONG time ago - somebody had an evil mage, page was full of quotes, something about "Fireball is his pawn to king 4", etc. Ring any bells? (And no, I'm not accusing our esteemed host of plagarism - the page was VERY different from this...

I think Steve Jackson would like to have a word with you...

Although I don't have my books handy right now, don't they have the abilities of an 8th level sorceror or 8th level psion, depending on the source?

Crossbows are your friend. Seriously. A heavy crossbow is d10, crit on 19-20/x2. Not bad, and you're not significantly behind the fighter yet in your BAB yet, especially if you put some decent points into your DEX. As far as your spells for the day? Focus on group takedown spells; color...

That was either Piratecat or Sagiro, IIRC. It's a must-rule for any game I run.

You can find the Cloistered Cleric in the d20SRD.

Looking at this, the thing that concerns me is the spell retrieval mechanic. If you go with the default 25 point buy "elite array", and put the 15 in Cha, 4 skill points in Diplomacy, you have a mod of +6. Assume best case - Half-elf with Skill Focus (Diplomacy) gives you a +10. To "retrieve"...

The DM in our group has his wife play in the game as well. She gets the idea pretty well, but doesn't quite get the rules or the tactics, and for the most part she sits on the sidelines and heals people. I think she enjoys it, but I'm not sure.

What book is it in?

I've got some quicksilver capsules for my axes. For the record, this is Shackled City, I've got the Smoking Eye template, and I'm apparently the ruler of Occipitus, a LE planeI'm pretty certain we'll be meeting up with a LOT of LE outsiders. The quicksilver weapon capsules will help there, and...

I'm referring to the sacred enchantment in Libris Mortis. Basically, it gives +1d6 damage versus undead, +2d6 versus evil outsiders, and makes the weapon good aligned. It's a +1 enhancement bonus. Holy is a +2 weapon enhancement, gives +2d6 damage against evil creatures, and makes the weapon...
