    [Eberron] Warforged names

    What about "Ferronious" with Ferro for Iron. I don't think you could get away with Ironius

    New spell, viable?

    Just treat it like a swarm that poisons...frogs can be poisonous via contact poisons. The first round the frogs attack the target, but this swarm then jumps away in a mass exodus on the next round and affects all adjacent squares like a blast radius. Any further jumping away thins out the...

    [Eberron] Warforged names

    Wolfram (the other name for Tungsten, a very strong metal). Sounds natural, but has a modern technical meaning

    New 1st level spell

    Just to answer your question, Shin Okada, I only have Pyrotechnics at this time and I only want to swap out a 1st level spell at my even sorcerer level. Sculpt spell doesn't do much for me with all the other spells I have. Thanks for the input. Mark

    New 1st level spell

    Originally, concealment was included in the concept. But my DM thought that started to think it was too strong for a first level spell. Also, it began to look too much like pyrotechnics or stinking cloud. I am not disagreeing with the comments on using max HD over a "fail by 5 or more"...

    New 1st level spell

    Thanks for your reply. Why not? What is your reasoning? I couldn't gather it from the second part of your reply. Looking at Mutant and Masterminds, that seems to be a common excalation of effect. Also, it would be Fort related, so higher level creatures would have a better chance to save...

    making the most of my sorcerer

    With the exception of Dannyalcatraz :-) and anyone playing a warmage or similar, the general advice for a straight-up sorcerer was stay away from melee. The Player's Handbook speaks to sorcerer's simple weapon proficiency as better than a wizard--which is true but in no way a balancing factor...

    8th Level Sorcerer needs new spell

    Can a light horse (summoned by Mount) do well to charge, bull rush, or flank? Is it something that is worth putting mage armor on?

    New 1st level spell

    I posted this in the other 3E forum, but got no replies. I was hoping to get some thoughts on it. What do you all think of the following 1st-lvl spell: Rainbow Cloud Conjuration Components: VSM Casting Time: 1 std action Range: Close Effect: 15-ft cube (3x3x3 squares) Duration: 1 rd/lvl...

    seeking Bard as Cheerleader ideas

    Use silent image or mirror image in different ways to boost the effect. Mirror image would give you a nice little cheerleading squad. See if your GM will give you that 1/day/level spell power as a freebie. Or maybe simply some free feats like Acrobatics.

    making the most of my sorcerer

    sorcerer in melee is a bad idea So what you are all saying is that I may not want to consider girallon's blessing and spell blossom spell combination :lol: Okay...it's funny how all the collective advice speaks to no melee, yet their use of simple weapons is one of the "advantages" given to a...

    making the most of my sorcerer

    I play a chaotic good sorcerer within a group tending towards chaos where a dwarf barbarian rushes into battle as the typical battle "strategy" (not that it is surprising) well before any spells that can control the battlefield, have large area effects, set up illusions, or target specific...

    Bard multiclass?

    I would stick with the rogue with the 2 levels for the evasion...A rogue shouldn't be too difficult. The other players simply call him to check for traps and what not. Then, he does that. Simple to play. Some things I would do...dump as many skill points as possible into search and disable...

    Force Missiles vs Magic Missiles

    You are correct...only 2d6. So, at eighth level I get 2 of those 2d6 missiles...for a possible maximum 24 points of dmg on the target. This is compared with a maximum of 5 magic missiles at 1d4+1 each (25 max). The additional perk to this spell is half of that 2d6 damage to all adjacent...

    Force Missiles vs Magic Missiles

    In your opinions, is the spell force missiles a suitable upgrade to magic missile? Although each missile strikes unerringly and has 2d12 damage, has anyone used it effectively to deliver half-damage to adjacent squares? Any particularly good strategies to consider? Is it worth having both, or...

    What can you shoot with a ballista?

    I would say that only two people can attempt to use it...any more people will simply get in the way. Penalties apply as -4, because it's rusty or otherwise in need of some maintenance. However, what if they have true strike? Another option is to give them some other stuff to consider being...
