Its odd, however, how a continuous Deathwatch or Detect Magic only costs 7,200gp (I believe thats right offhand). Why is the Shield so much more then? Deatwatch is 1st level and Detect Magic is 0.

Question here: If I wanted to drop a continuous Shield ability on a weapon, what would the cost be if I wanted to consider that ability as one of an intelligent weapon's Greater Powers? What effect, if any, would this have if applied to a 7th level Kensai's weapon? Thanks!

I'm definately in the boat with Shilsen. A name is a name and I don't care if its a bad name for a certain Feat, Class, Race, etc. Sure, something better suited for what it is naming would be better, but I can live with it. In game, I call a variety of things by different things, such as...

Wow, it looks like Drow might actually get a +4 to Spells and Spell-like Abilities. Wow... But I suppose its not that unbelievable from the more recent drow visions (ala Drizzt). Those drow to brush spells off them without too much trouble.

True, but that is a different weakness outside of the "Is it better to pre-plan a world or let it expand as the game expands" question. What you're pointing out is a railroading problem with a DM that could occur whether the setting is pre-planned or expansive with the game. But I believe that...

In some ways, I do have a problem with the "sexual" idea of a paladin. And then again, in some ways I don't. And the only reason I don't have a problem with the sexual paladin was the example I saw put forward by Aethramyr in Wizardru's Story Hour. I remember reading when he engaged with a...

Here is the thing though: that is not a weakness. The only weakness that a DM can have in terms of "planning out a setting vs. not planning it out" is not being certain of what he can best work with and what his players want. In your case PC, you know what you're good at and you stick with it...

To add a bit of realism, I have also spiced up any coin loads I throw at my PCs with a variety of coins from different kingdoms and eras. Sometimes they just brush over them and sometimes they go indepth with them. Then you get into rare coin dealers (or nobles who like them or for whom an...

Ack...dumb post from me at the beginning. No clue why I forgot about Heat Metal's cooldown period. Thats what I get for posting after 14 hours straight at work... ...*skimpers down the street quietly*...

In the old sense of the word I do have a problem with a Paladin backstabbing or using poison. In the ideal, chivalric sense it is just problematic and doesn't mesh with the "knight in shining armor" example. For this paladin, the-end-does-not-justify-the-means. You must keep honorable and...

That is an interesting question. I think I'd extend the spells round 7 damage and other effects. I think it kinda nerfs the spell to double each round since it'll take 13 rounds to get to the best results when before it would only take 7 rounds. I'd never prepare the spell then with an...

We're using the Gestalt option for our game of two PCs but because there are only two PCs. Its really adds a lot...and I mean a lot...of different options, powers, and abilities, even at lower levels. They're not overwhelming, but it does take some time to sit down and ponder over the classes...

Not trying to hijack the thread and this is certainly more of a House Rules question, but hoping I can slip it in without pissing off any of the Bossmen upstairs... Do you think chaining the Sudden Feats together in a stair progression without having the normal level cap for the Metamagic Feats...

It was summed up great above: Concerning Exalted, if you question it then it very likely is not Exalted. I think the Exalted should have spoken up before they made any agreement and said that he (and as an extension he might have demanded the group also) would not work with him unless he...

Thank you Paradon Kobold! I had fallen into the trap you just mentioned and totally forgotten about the Illusionist and his arsenal of powerful spells and... ...how improper of me. I really have to correct that issue. And let my PCs know I've corrected that issue in the most henious way...

They've got bigger friends. And someone at what, I think 17th level can cast it. They only need a few scrolls of it from someone. Of course using it...*sigh*...only thing I can think of is at the key foundation points and blow it.

Well, a tower like this isn't something found in the books. As a consequence, there will be no singular means to defeating the tower in terms of a spell or magical item. (I'm refering to the corebooks here...I could be (and probably am) mistaken that something like this not existing in one of...

Just to make certain Universe, you're looking for help in terms of being the DM and trying to set up an interesting adventure inside of the Tower or looking for help as a player trying to shut down the tower? For either which scenario, what level are the heroes? Any special resources from...

A bounty is definately going out on the PCs heads. How do I pay for it as an evil (or just greedy) ruler? Simple: the people pay. Those pesky kids (aka PCs) just used brute force to show that I can be beat. Now, I need to undermine the towns suddenly rising hopes of freedom. Firstly...

I was going to point out precisely what RisnDevil said - Clerical spells are far more utility and non-combat based then the offensive might wielded by their arcane cousins. Sure, Clerics do have some good offensive spells, but once you know a Favored Souls offensive armada, it is more easily...
