Did you consider apologizing to everyone? ;)

Actually, clerics do have Summon Monster. He can't use this scroll because it's arcane, and he casts divine spells.

So a charismatic rogue has an easier time activating divine scrolls of cleric spells if his player has read Complete Divine, eh? Sadly, I can't think of a better ruling ... :)

Heh. To quote myself on #538, "Sometimes, the problem Belkar is trying to solve with bloodshed is 'not enough bloodshed'." Or something like that. :D

This has a very nice, subtle echo of 537. You can just imagine the thoughts going through Celia's head as things start to go downhill ... "Uh-oh. How can we talk our way through this now?!" But Belkar's an adventurer, and knows exactly what to do. As Celia said last episode ... "It's really only...

Haley actually had my favorite this episode. "... a one-way ticket on the negative hit point express." Nice!

Back when I was a physics student, I took the time to work out some ballistics calculations for arrows fired from a longbow. Based on the release velocity of a longbow and the aerodynamics of arrows, I worked out that a 200-yard bowshot took about four seconds from archer to target. A target who...

Christian, it's been dealt with by a moderator. Please don't continue the threadjack. ~ Piratecat

C'mon, somebody must have something! :)

Ditto here. Me and two halflings are already salivating about this summer's trip to Indy!

The Black Dragon from the D&DXP sample game is listed as a Level 4 Solo Skirmisher, with a 16 Con & 280 HP. So here's my suggestion for Elites and Solos .. Elite: [Monster Level +1]x[Power Level for Role] + 5xCon (Pit fiend is then 27x8 + 5x27 = 351 Solo: [Monster Level +1]x[Power Level for...

Wait--is that a a template, or an ice cream flavor?

Well, aren't there really just two kinds of marketing? (1) disingenous, and (2) misleading/fraudulent? ;)

And there was much rejoicing throughout the land. :cool: Seriously, is there any question that this was the most poorly thought-out change in 3.5?

My Druid finally got taken down by a creature with a good enough grapple check to keep him wrapped up even when he wildshaped into a Large creature. With some help from a PC archer who decided to take a chance on firing into a grapple. :\ But prior to that, he really was absolutely vicious...

Bear in mind that we're seeing the class write-up, but not the full list of powers. Damage per round for a rogue is likely to be much higher than one would guess from looking at that write-up; we need to see the whole system. The reports of faster overall combats are coming from playtests, not...

Total hit points 73, actually. 1st-level hit points for a Rogue are 12 + Con, not 12 + Con bonus--this guy started with 28. (!) But it still looks reasonably effective to me--I don't think that healing surges are intended to represent a big chunk of your total HP. Well, we probably thought we...

Why would that cause a serious problem for your group? Any more than the current assumed four-PC group (for the CR calculations, etc.) causes a problem for my current five-player + DM group? They have to assume something, and this group size is closest to the average, evidently, according to...

Why do I imagine teams of WOTC ninjas combing the Madison, WI phone book looking for targets? "Stephen L. Campbell. Team Alpha, that's yours." "Check!" "Steven and Melanie Carpenter. Team Beta." "Check!" "Steve Colter. Team Gamma ... Team Gamma? ... Dammit, put away those Magic decks and...

8. Maximum ranks for a skill which is a class skill for any of your classes is character level +3.
