Good! I like it, and I don't mind "giving" out a few more (possible) charges, considering that they almost certainly will have some very bad wand experiences. As said above, calling the wands the "house", the house does indeed have an unlimited supply (there are generally as many wands as you...

Actually this is my point. All the othe stats DO "retrocativly" change you as much as they possibly could. :D Note: Yes, if you re-roll as a wizard you do get to recalculate your BAB. Here you're just being silly. :heh:

Well, to be fair, does any skill other than INT not affect the character "retroactively" in this manner? :eek:

Well, I'm one of the people making that assertion... But the assertion I'm making would not only say "yes, you can" but would actually say "you must". Because I see the spell as an enchantment that affects the next X touches. Be they touch attacks or a handshake or a hug or a light caress (or...

I've never played with it as a character, but it makes perfect sense to do it. I've been in campaigns where it was a house rule (but didn't affect my character). It's not that complicated to do... and you really can learn things from memory if you become smarter. I've "learned" things...

Vest of resistance, as meantioned above, is probably what you're looking for. Of course, if you can go into custom items, a charisma boost fits very nicely in the circlet spot (but you already have a charisma item, so that's unlikely to be something you'd want to do). And there are already...

Now, I took statistics once a long time ago. So I do know what you're talking about... and I recogize that (assuming you're correct in your math, there's no way I can duplicate it and I'm not going to pretend to be able to say 'that looks right') a 33 charge wand is a better place to set one of...

I've never completely gone over those... so I can't comment. Of course, the character I have tried it with was a thief/wizard (PrC Arcane Trickster), I really did expect that extra sneak attack damage to make a difference. However, the chill touch having more attacks goes pretty hand in hand...

But if it weren't for the clause of one touch per caster level, I'd say that chill touch only allowed you to make one attack at all... At first level it is practically the same. (Obviously I'm saying it's a little different in mechanics, but effectively the same). For a second level caster...

The answer is no, I do not feel lucky. Which is why I think that if I were to introduce this mechanic (which I agree is fun) I'd give them a d6 and a d4 too. As for what to charge... Well, I haven't decided. Probably : d20 = Full price (as if 50 charges) d12 = 70% d10 = 40% d8 = 20% d6 =...

I use a combination of the three. Along with a "Don't look behind the GM screen" to help "prevent" GM "cheating". IE sometimes I ignore it if it's minor. Someone felt that they needed to roll a little better that one time, if it's not a common occurance, I see that as unspoken "hero points"...

A very well put version of my interpretation of the spell... Also the thought that seems to be a debate (between this version and the "holding the charge" school of thought) on this thread here: http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?p=2623594#post2623594 which is why I was a little puzzled...

I think the answer there is that I'm not all that good at math, and looking at what Nim and Primitive Screwhead posted ... I thought it was said that a d20/d12/d10/d8 wand would be 20 charges, not 50. A second reading suggests to me that they might have been stating that a d20 with no...

WEll..... I think you're assuming some wrong things here. Take a ruby worth 1000 gp to a merchant, the merchant gives you "full value" (1000 gp). The merchant then combines it with other gems and some gold and increases the relative value of that gem by X% (where X is determined by his skill in...

I've only rarely seen the Chill Touch spell used. Necromancy is a common school to give up due to specialization, and the Chill Touch spell it'self it relatively weak. The only time I've ever seen it used (and used with my interpretation above, which is how every group I've been in so far has...

I kill PC's when they reach -(Con score + Level). Other than that I adjust encounters up or down in an attempt to challenge them, but not kill them. I don't like 'em to die, there are only a few deaths that a good storyline (of mine anyway) can handle before the story just unravels. I give...

I've seen plently of people say yes. It's simple, if you're the GM and you don't like it, don't allow that combination. If you're a player considering Shadow Dancer, have an extensive talk with your GM before attempting the class. If you're a GM and you hear that a player is going to take that...

Yea... I know the rules regarding touch spells and holding the charge. I just don't think that this is a spell that uses those rules. It's not a touch spell that holds a charge at all. It's an instant enchant spell, that enchants your hands so that the next X touches (where X is the caster...

I don't recall the buy-off amounts, but I did basically what you did, I figured out what the total penalty would come out to in % by the time it was bought out. As for level penalty, it's *roughly* 12.5% less XP for every level above the average character level in the party (and 12.5% more for...

I vote this way. Gems are trade goods, sold at full price. Just like you can trade in silver for gold, and gold for plat, you can trade in silver/gold/plat for gems. In fact, in a barter society like 3.X is supposedly set in, this was a very common occurance. Now, for OTHER things, like...
