    A question about charm spells...

    More valuable points! Thanks Olive. My question about siege engineers wasn't a sarcastic one, but a serious question. Yet, it's still arguable. Many "siege engineers" in history were as good or better fighters than other prominent figures on the battlefield. Perhaps they were just high-level...

    A question about charm spells...

    Off-topic ... smetzger, This balance issue of your feat really intrigues me. How do you come by the balance factors for your feat? How do you know it's balanced? Balanced by whose authority? I'm not questioning your integrity by the way, I'm just curious as to what your methods are. If you'd...

    Venator I'm pretty sure I have Venator's statistics. I'll let you have a look before it "goes to press" to make sure they're the right ones. Send me a high-priority email about sending you Venator's final stats, and I'll flag it. Thanks. :D

    *nods* I pretty much play it this way too, IceBear. My friend, well he always has a unique take on things, which can be a great quality. :D

    [WOTC] January to May 2003 Release Schedule

    More demons and devils? Geez, how many demons, devils, and other extraplanar nasties do we need? Legions of Hell, Encyclopedia of Demons and Devils I & II, Manual of the Planes, Book of Vile Darkness, Tome of Horrors, Monster Manual II ... all with extra deviltry (some better than others, of...

    Another Death ward question...

    Hmmmm Though I don't know about the ability of which you write, it's clear by the description that the ability has some supernatural element. Death attacks are usually clearly described as such, however, as Ki Ryn points out. If Annihilating Strike prevents raise dead from working on the...

    A question about charm spells...

    Hmmm.... Excellent analogy from the book. As I said before, there's no reason to assume that a mage must be seen casting the spell at all, as you pointed out. That depends on circumstances. However, the stories and novels based on WotC properties are supposedly notorious for throwing out the...

    Hmmmmm... *bump* Just a few more replies....

    A question about charm spells...

    Ahh, but... What you say is true Roland, but the mental display occurs in all living creatures within 30 feet, not just the would-be victim. Thus, the "staring at you intently" part doesn't apply to every individual in the area. I think my example (the street festival) still has some validity...

    A question about charm spells...

    Re: Thanks ... keep 'em coming! It's fine to disagree with me, but your opinion is slightly askew for few reasons. First, the fact that spellcasters "suck" at Bluff , which I take to mean none of them get it as a class skill, is wholly irrelevant. Just because one can't get really good at a...

    A question about charm spells...

    Nope... Tome and Blood has nothing about this. The only book I've seen with anything similar is The Quintessential Rogue by Mongoose, though I'd hardly recommend buying that book for that reason. (It is a decent book though.) The Psionics Handbook does make a distiction between magic and...

    A question about charm spells...

    Thanks ... keep 'em coming! I understand that spell casting is always recognized as such if the person upon whom you cast is aware of you. Someone need not be aware of you for your spell to work. I agree that charm person is a worse choice than hypnotism. I had forgotten about that...

    A question about charm spells...

    Thanks for the input ... I wonder if there'll be much disagreement with charm used subtly?

    Please rate Snatch Arrows

    Excellent! Folding Snatch Arrows into Deflect Arrows the way Sean suggests is an excellent idea that will see use in my campaign immediately. This feat strikes me as one of those that didn't get enough scrutiny. It seems like a good idea at first thought, but afterthought reveals its lack of...

    A question about charm spells...

    Does a creature that's been charmed know it has been charmed after the spell wears off? It's not implicit that this is so in anything I remember reading in the rules or D&D FAQ. It is likely that a creature that does something against its normal tendencies while charmed will know something is...

    gods... That's cool Paul. Just do me a favor, and use a statblock format similar to those already in the document. Are you going to tell anything about Kaob's diety? :D

    Compiled! For reddist, and other interested parties get the compiled LgC document here. The red sections are those for which I'm waiting on math so I can check them. I may hard edit the Neclord for the book still too, but only if I have time. I'm eagerly awaiting Paul's Divine Weapon iconic...

    Well... I'm glad everyone seems to be happy (thanks for the compliments and well wishes). When I said final, I meant final edit on what I have (actually besides the characters--see below). I don't mind more input if anyone has anything they'd like to add. I won't be working on the final design...

    More Information... I'm glad you're happy! Jeremy wants to push his skills with this one, so he's planning on using a technique similar to the one's posted, but more tonal in value. He agreed, however, that he'd change if I didn't like the result. So, I think this little project is gonna have...
