If the BBEG isn't a humanoid, it'll require a 4th level spell (charm monster), then again to make sure the BBEG doesn't escape with a pesky will save vs. a level 1 or 4 spell, you may want to heighten it even further just to make sure. But sure, it's not some easy to do instant kill that...

I figure with all the complaints on Enworld about these things, I'm better off not reading them. Ah, ignorance is bliss. :D

sure they have appendages, but can you explain a whale in the middle of a completely dry temple grappling a large pulsating blob? Neither can I, but why worry about it, grappling is simply another attacking action used for fighting VERY close together, sure in humanoid terms it may be seen as...

So, start at level 1 and get to one level below top or start at level 2 and get to the highest form?

hmm, takes up your swift action and a spell, basically gives you quick draw for one action but for a broader amount of object... Sure, at face value I'd allow it, I don't see anythin gwrong with it.

heh, right before seeing this I actually posted my idea to solving this problem, which was giving him an intelligent sword instead of a mount. It's in the link below: http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=125543

In my campaign, the characters are generally teleporting all over the place, sometimes in the open, sometimes assaulting deep underground, so when one of my player's got a paladin cohort, I wanted him to actually have something useful instead of the mount. I've heard of this summon mount...

If it's an NPC, just make it happen. In fact, sometimes do things like this to your players. Make obscure magics, strange creatures, and beyond weird occurences. It makes those characters that are shuffling through their books looking for the answers completely confused. Believe me, it's...

I'd say same as fighter, the starting gold for lv1 isn't too important, so I don't think it really matters if you chose one of the fighting classes.

Correction: miniature giant space hamster.

My player is a diviner/alienist. He of course gave up Necromancy, which has made him miss out on some research/counterspell opportunities throughout my campaign, but on the whole you're really losing nothing. "But wait," you say "getting an extra divination per day isn't anything either."...

I agree, so the new trick would be take the spell component pouches, wands, and scrollcases from a spellcaster and then pick a fight with them :p

Even though you aren't casting the spell, the spell is still being cast, it's still the same magical energy causing the same magical effect...I think it'd make complete sense that countering a spell with a spell would work no matter where the spell came from. My players use it all the time...

flat footed or not, sorcerers shouldn't be happy about anything getting near them :D . As per the raw, no flat-footedness, then again that hide-feint thing could be an interesting house rule.

Generally I just design encounter for the PCs based on plausibility. My game generally has the players teleporting all over various continents trying their peaceful world from slowly collapsing in on itself, so there aren't set numbers of encounters, and the PCs sleep whenever they feel they...

This still happens 6 levels later... In one of my games, I had a true necromancer with 3 12 headed hydra skeletons and 4 girrilon skeletons near her. The PCs scry, and of course she fails her intelligence check. The PCs port in (there are 3 of them), and the fighter takes his surprise round...

I think they're actually balanced. As everyone is arguing many mitigating factors and benefits of the spells, they come out pretty equal. All of those that is, except for the Material Component. I'd say add one of those in (even if it's only 500 or 1k or something), and both spells would...

Well, one of hte characters is a cleric who's attracting a paladin. He's not really a powergamer, so I suspect it'll just be a straight paladin 7 that'll just boost the parties tank ability (a low HP fighter and the cleric is all we have in that respect) The Wizard is attracting a...

Alright guys, two of the characters in my campaign have decided to take leadership. They're ninth level, and both have enough of a score to get a 7th level cohort. As the cohort doesn't drain the party exp, I was just wondering what affect this had on anyone's games (I supposed having 2 extra...

It's just a tool, I generally see it as being unlawful in the "you're not following the generally accepted societal law" lawful, but it all depends on what kind of lawful your lawful character is. Now if your good character is black lotusing all the evil merchants so he can take their stuff...
