    Draconomicron, Libris Mortis, Lords of Madness

    Blargle? Substitute Xoriat in for mentions of the Far Realm, add Daelkyr creation concepts and you're done. Its not hard! Besides, Beholders and Grells have gone wild since their creation by the Daelkyr, so they wouldn't need much changing, and the Neogi are from somewhere else entirely. I...

    He's faking it. He's taking the time to create a new version of it, say you posted it wrong and MAKE a solution.

    Your Best and Worst Sci-Fi TV Shows!

    BEST in no particular order. Battlestar Galactica: New series, I've never seen the original. Amazing, gritty, intelligent and intense sci-fi. This is war, and the crew of the Galactica are flying by the seat of their pants in some great stories. I'll never forgive them for having Boomer be...

    energy drain and other necro spells

    IMC, that's not an actual "Energy Drain" effect. It's karma frying them, and the negative level effects from enchantments like Bane, Holy, Axiomatic etc don't trigger wightdom. By the same token, Death Ward does't protect you. Oh, and on the matter of Wights, who here knows the Wight Plague...

    Special Round is Over!!

    Power Attack. I'd love to vote for this, Improved Init and Improved Trip, but Power Attack is just the fundamental combat feat.

    Requests from two friends A couple of my friends saw the illo of Lukas yesterday, and since one has irregular net access at best, and the other has none, they've asked me to forward their characters to this forum. And the first especially is so damn kooky and amusing I'd love to see what some...

    Fighters vs mages at high level.

    Woohooo! I love Calvinball! I reiterate as well, the 30th level Wizard is going to pack a Greater Rod of Quicken, likely one he made himself. There's 3 9th level spells per day quickened for free!

    Fighters vs mages at high level.

    Woohoo! There go your saves then! OH well then, I'll just have my chain contingency set to dim door me X distance away, put up Mislead and another spell for good measure when I'm attacked. Who said anything about Epic magic? Except that this is a smackdown duel. And how are you firing out...

    Fighters vs mages at high level.

    Sounds like your GM let you get away with breaking the rules. Bonuses of the same kind don't stack (with like 2 exceptions), so your two rings of protection don't stack! And what kind of idiot fighter plops himself in an Antimagic Field unless he's a grapple monkey, since that means that none...

    Does Orb of Force affect a golem?

    Good to know that I'm not alone in my hatred of the Orbs being conjurations. I can stretch to see how you could conjure fire and cold (White Phosphorus, as with Incendiary Cloud and Liquid Nitrogen respectively), but force, lightning and sound?

    Fighters vs mages at high level.

    Its over already. A level 30 Wizard will slaughter a level 30 fighter in any smackdown situation, since he'll be invisible, flying and 150 ft away the instant a fight starts (Chain Contingency keyed to go off whenever he's attacked). Then its a maximised twinned Enervation (8 negative levels...

    Round 10 is OVER

    Are you high? Empower Spell is the KING of metamagic, and for sorcerers especially, Empowered Scorching Rays are a premier attack spell. Empowered Fireball is the main reason Cone of Cold is so carp. Heck, even the humble Magic Missile becomes an incorporeal undead's nightmare when...

    Round 10 is OVER

    Improved Disarm has to go if the superior Improved Trip has gone. Improved Two Weapon Fighting is a Ranger class feature, not a feat. Silent Spell because no-one ever takes it. There's much better Metamagic out there.

    Experience with Jedi

    I play Living Force with a couple of groups, and the Jedi absolutely DON'T dominate, even the power gamed ones. The simple fact is that there aren't enough skill points to go around for a Jedi to be ace at anything outside a narrow field, usually Force skills. The real stars of the party in...

    Defeated by puzzle - campaign over: Here is the offending puzzle!

    Red Mage: It's a simple puzzle. Now be quiet while I put my infinite genius to work on this. Black Mage: It's not a puzzle, it's nonsense. I'll just blast the doors down and the problem's solved. Fighter: It's a map to Swordtown! See! There's the valley of Swords! Thief: Excuse me. <sets...

    Defeated by puzzle - campaign over: Here is the offending puzzle!

    It is at this point that the GM should be stabbed in the face. What possible point is there to NOT revealing the answer. Then we can reverse engineer it and give an official verdict on it. The fact that the brains trust of ENWorld can't solve it in three pages suggests to me that there is no...

    Thanks a bunch! Nice work, I wasn't expecting anyhing in colour or as UNREAL as "that piece". If meatspace is busy, then extra double thanks for finding the time for this.

    Liefeld to draw issues of Teen Titans. Comics fans mourn.

    Just remember, it could be worse, he could be writing it too. Shudder. I don't mind his art that much, although the way he's drawn Raven and Cyborg concerns me. Raven seems way too well endowed, and Cyborg looks like Mr Olympia wrapped in tinfoil.

    The Eberron/Star Wars Thing

    I keep seeing Stargate parallels with the Kalashtar. The Inspired as the Goa'Uld, the Kalashtar as the Tok'Ra and the Empty Vessels as Jaffa.

    I want to set people on fire.

    Woohoo, another Greyhawker! Go for Sorceror, second level spell should be Scorching Ray. Empower Spell is a must, Maxmize later. Grab an Empower rod ASAP, there's a lot of them out there. Empowered Maximised Scorching rays are just...wrong. The other option is of course, Warmage, now that...
