    New Psion Character Suggestions

    If you have a problem with it, then don't be a warforged. No point getting heated about what you feel is rules abuse if you don't go down that road. Go with a Kalashtar if you want to be psionic in Eberron, good abilities and interesting backgrounds just waiting to be explored. Actually any...

    Couple of Favored Soul class questions.

    Also don't forget Multiple Attribute Dependancy. Favored Souls and Spirit Shaman use Charisma to determine what level of spells they can cast and how many bonus spells they get. They use Wisdom to determine spell DC's. You can kind of ignore the MAD if you just take buff spells and healing as...

    EL for 20 Aboleths AND NOW level of 7 17th level characters?

    Someone correct me if I'm wrong. To find Effective Party level add together all of your characters levels, in this case 7 x 17. Then divide the number by 4. This gives you 29.75. This seems a bit high but 7 17th lv characters get 7 actions (or more with time stop and quickened actions) per...

    New Psion Character Suggestions

    Another thing to watch out for as a Psion is that you can burn through your power points very, very quickly if you just use your highest level effects or augument everything to the max. Unlike the wilder a psion should take some powers that don't require augumentation to be effective. Also...

    Armor Spikes question

    Thanks for the quick answers everyone. Now I can make a reach weapon using Barbarian and not worry about that pesky 5' open space that the reach weapon doesn't get and not have to take Exotic WP Spiked Chain.

    Armor Spikes question

    If a 4th lv Fighter is wielding a Reach weapon (glave, long spear etc.) and has armor spikes on his armor, what kind of penalties does he take if he attacks someone who is next to him? Does he suffer two weapon fighting penalties if he is holding the reach weapon, even if he didn't attack with...

    New Psion Character Suggestions

    Oh I really like Patlin's idea of a Warforged Psion. Take Adamantine Body at 1st level and don't worry about taking inertial armor. The body feats don't require you to have any armor proficiencies since they are your body. You would either need to be a Shaper or take Expand Knowlege at 5th to...

    New Psion Character Suggestions

    The Kalashtar from the ECS book are actually a great race for psions. The one bonus power point per character level is worth loosing the human bonus feat in the long run. Plus free access to mindlink is lots of fun. If you want raw damaging ability go with a kinetisist and blast away, shapers...

    How did 'Righteous Might' affect your game?

    I actually agree with Thanee on this one, the balance changes to Might went a little far. I think lowering the DR was fine, but for a 1 round/level duration spell at 5th lv granting +3 to hit, +4 to damage, 2 hp per level and DR is ok. Divine Power which is one level lower usually grants +2...

    Do you live in San Francisco? Can you help me help my game?

    Another thing to remember is that outside of the Financial district, San Francisco has very few tall buildings. Most of them are 3-4 stories max. The further west you go the shorter the buildings get and the more residential things get. Not really a good city for Spiderman types to swing from...

    Sharn AND Complete Arcane at ENWorld RPGShop

    I caved like a kobold vs a beholder... December 8th is just too long to wait for my books. Plus I'm now contributing to a good cause (EN World's RPG store) and get my greedy little hands on the books way earlier than Amazon. Too bad if they did get into a tiff with WotC, the slow shipments...

    Sharn AND Complete Arcane at ENWorld RPGShop

    I was content to wait for my Amazon order, but now this will tempt me. Save money vs. sooner new book gratification An eternal gamer conundrum. (actually I blame Amazon for putting my ship date at Dec. 4 I don't know if I can wait 3 weeks)

    What 9th-level spells should any Wizard prepare?

    Shapechange, so many uses...the ultimate swiss army knife of spells. Time Stop, get up those buffs in a suprise situation, or drop 2-3 delayed blast fireballs on an area. Meteor Swarm soften up large groups of bad guys, just make sure you have energy substitution so you can get those fire...

    DM depressed about Shapechange

    I am a shapechange/wild shape/polymorph junkie so take what I say with a grain of salt. I think shapechange is fine for a 9th lv spell. There are pleanty of ways to ruin a shapechanged sorcerers day. Sure the pit fiend is attractive, but wait till you are hit with multiple touch attack...

    The Mésalliance. Part 2. (Updated 11/28)

    One question Sep, how far behind real world time is the SH now? Is your group still playing regularly? Hopefully your busy schedule has time to play some D&D even if you aren't posting for the enjoyment of all of us.

    Help! Defense vs Mindflayers

    I think polymorphing into plants would give you the plants immunity to mind effects. Just find a 7 hd plant and polymorph the low will save people into that and then go to town.

    Rate "The Incredibles"

    A definate 10. I got a chance to see it two weeks ago and then went again yesterday. There aren't many movies that I make an effort to see twice on the big screen. Great action, great comedy, great acting, great visuals, like WizarDru says probably the best superhero movie EVAR. Get off your...

    Are the Warforged underpowered?

    I think you are one of the few people who has looked at the warforged and said they look underpowered. Usually people see the immunity to disease and poison, no need to breath, sleep, or eat, and minor fortification and say the opposite. I don't think they got the short stick on racial...

    Eberron: Favorite Regions for Campaigns

    I would have voted for a "whole world" like Mercule if it were an option. Eberron just screams with juicy ideas in every region. Even those not fully fleshed out in the ECS like Xen'drik or Sarlona or Argonessen just beg to be used. That being said, I really like Q'barra. It gives off the...

    The Liberation of Tenh (updated April 24)

    Ah it is good to have the Liberators back. Can't wait to see what kind of EVIL you have whipped up for this final dungeon crawl.
