    What Quickened Spell-Like Abilities for Mystic-Thurge/Archmage?

    In the SRD, it specifies that the following abilities must use arcane spells: Arcane Fire, Mastery of Elements, Spell-Like Ability The other abilities don't specify that you must use arcane spells so I'm guessing you could use your druid spells with these (might want to get DM approval on...

    What Quickened Spell-Like Abilities for Mystic-Thurge/Archmage?

    Heh, smart DM (not allowing magic items to be purchased). With all those enemy spellcasters I figured you'd have found a number of spellbooks or be able to divine where they are. If not, you could have the skillmonger in the group do Gather Informations to find friendly wizard types and work...

    What Quickened Spell-Like Abilities for Mystic-Thurge/Archmage?

    A little background on my views here... I'm currently playing a Wizard(Necro) 5/Incantatrix 13/Archmage 5 in an epic campaign, so I have a little experience with what you're going through. What spells would you take as Quickened Spell-Like Abilities? Probably none, but since you seem set on...

    D&D 3.x 3.5 grim and gritty combat rules?

    Grim-n-Gritty: Revised and Simplified is the latest incarnation. We are currently using the attached version however. As far as I know there is no official homepage for grim 'n' gritty. My friend has grim-n-gritty.com but that is for our campaign.

    Most Useless Feat

    Play a grim 'n' gritty campaign and see how you like Toughness then. At the very least it is equal to three levels of hit points.

    Who rolls the dice?

    When I DM, I always have the players roll attacks and damage against their characters. In 22 years of RPing, I haven't played with any other GMs that do this.

    Prohibited magic spell schools?

    Enchantment and Illusion for sure. I can't see giving up any of the other schools.

    What 8th-level spells should any Wizard have?

    Clone - Long live the wizard! Discern Location - This spell flat out rocks Horrid Wilting - non-elemental damage Maze - no save! Mind Blank - like Discern Location, this spell rocks Polymorph Any Object - versatility Ok, that's six, but c'mon you can buy scrolls to scribe into your book (and...

    The current BBEG

    Shard, an ancient demon, who's been on Aerth for countless centuries slowly, but surely, extending his influence. He's turned most of the northern hemisphere into a glacial wasteland. Most life in the world (what's left anyways) is around the equator and upper southern hemisphere, where the...

    Your biggest screw-up as a DM?

    Some of a friend's mistakes... - roll a Sense Motive check on the door (he will never live this one down) - mispronouncing Carnivorous Apes to be Cavernous Apes... we were like why do the apes have big holes in them? - "knowing" the rules but not as the PHB,etc say they are - throwing in...

    Are you a DM for a party without fighers?

    I, as the DM, do very little rolling. I make the players roll all attacks/damage/etc. aimed at their characters... I didn't kill you, you did!

    Body destroyed at -x hp? (Hide Life)

    This might need to be moved to House Rules as there seems to be no actual rule governing it. The DM has tentatively agreed to your body being destroyed at negative (2 x HP), which would put my target number at -582hp (291hp, 231 of that is from Con bonus). Not sure if it matters anymore as...

    What 6th-level spells should any Wizard have?

    Greater Dispel Magic, Disintegrate and Antimagic Field are must-haves. All the divination spells are good to have as well... Analyze Dweomer, Legend Lore, and True Seeing. Contingency is up there too.

    Body destroyed at -x hp? (Hide Life)

    At what point is your body totally destroyed and considered unusable? I bring this up because my character has hidden his life force in his (severed and well hidden) pinky finger via the Hide Life spell (Sor/Wiz 9, Necromancy) from Tome & Blood page 91. This spell takes a day to cast, costs...

    What 4th-level spells should any Wizard have?

    Whoops, meant to vote for Stone Shape too (Dimension Door, Greater Invis, Wall of Fire were votes). Awesome, versatile spell.

    Robe of the Incantator

    Thanks for the posts. I didn't even think about the Spellcraft bonus/epic spell problem. Oh well, the DM approved it and said I would need everything I could get my hands on (21-25th lvl epic campaign). I did end up switching out the +1 caster level for +2 to caster level for purposes of...

    Robe of the Incantator

    How would you price this item? I've included the prices that I came up with but need some help verifying/tweaking it. Would you adjust the price up/down or is it good to go? Would you change any of the powers? Robe of the Incantator +10 competence bonus to Spellcraft checks (10,000gp) +1...
