12) Plane of insanity. A great expanse of darkness which acts as a vast (not visible, but still effective) symbol of insanity. Living phantasmal killer spells stalk throughout the plane, and the following spells are spontaneously emitted from the fabric of the plane itself; Rage, Tasha's hideous...

alas my xp powers are feeble... but i wanted to acknowledge this as another very nice analysis

This is my impression too, though I think it wasn't the base classes but prestige classes. Especially toward the end. I felt they were pumping out a lot of stuff because a lot of stuff sells, and playtesting was perhaps not practical (given the vast combinations possible). Exponentially more...

I think what I'm trying to do discuss my feelings on this idea of taking away spells because they are too powerful. The argument made seems to be that they are over-powered because they potentially make a wizard more capable at any given party role or ability than anyone else. A counter was made...

What spells does my wizard have? Fireball and scorching ray :D. One of my players has scorching ray, and as soon as she gets the opportunity, I can guarantee fireball will be taken. I have an illusionist character who picks spells that allow her to perform trickery. That's her schtick. These...

I'd probably feel the same in your situation. Just so you know, neither the number of posts you've made or your gaming experience factored into my response. I responded to what you said because it seemed that you were disregarding other sides of the argument, which included mine. Peace :)

Despite the derogatory description, its a good way to play.

Despite the fact that it seems to me a bad idea to step in here, I have to agree with Ahnehnois on this point. I think that the validity of the tier system is largely overstated and does have limited use, and people use it as a trump argument as if it were fact. I think the authors were wise...

that reads like you are hijacking the whole thread for your own interpretation, which only works if you ignore the posts that disagree with your opinion.

By 3.5ed rules, a move action iirc. I guess its no guarantee, but a good idea none-the-less. I agree that tactically, retreat is often very difficult.

I may be missing a whole heap of hidden messages an inuendo, but I will say that doesn't seem fair, the respect thing anyhow. I didn't read any edition war, I think he was just giving his opinion. Anyway, just my 2c. peace!

I usually find myself completely agreeing with delericho's comments, but I'll use one of his points to make one of my own: The 5% overwhelming guideline thing is a good idea, it teaches characters that they sometimes need to run. Hell, even Conan, and his conquering sword was no less heroic for...

I feel bad for your partner! Of course folk want to try out their new combat stuff, but its selfish to expect that the game should cater only to your desires. Its a little immature for your players to simply assume "teacher's pet" when its more a reflection of the fact that your playstyle is...

Yeah that kinda ties in to a point i was kinda trying to make upthread some, that there's often this opinion that DMs who don't know the rules are really crap. My current DM works 7days a week. Hes played a little bit before, but never DMed. He doesn't know the rules, and asks whenever. Even...

He/she'd be memorable if so, because to have any levels worth mentioning, that kobold would then become quite the combatant too :D

But joke material components, in this thread at least (if at all?), haven't been measured on its representation of the essence of D&D, just on whether people like them or not, but you are using it as a rebuttal to people stating that they like them or don't mind them. Further, I haven't seen...

It looks to me like you are hijaking people's threads and opinions for your own agenda. You keep aluding to some debate about the warlord class and hinting that people are inspired by grognardia or whatever if they decide they don't mind the wacky spell components, or have reasons to believe...

muahaha. well actually, nah. that would suck (i guess). The thread's title was to garner some views :D In fact, I just wanted some advice to help guaging which kobold would be the "one too many." That's my main question. Between 20 to 40 "straight up" kobolds seems to be the idea so far. I like...

Nice, deep analysis. Thanks guys! Re; the swarmfighting feat, I just noticed that today and decided its a must. For a little more information, my players will be relatively new, with only a few sessions under their belt, but a good mix is presented. So far, (a really dumb) half orc barbarian, a...

I'm planning out some kobold mines through which 5pcs of around 3rd level will be passing. On their first visit, the kobolds are not expecting them, though I plan to use sentries to bring rapid reinforcements in an attempt to swamp the pcs. On their second visit the kobolds will be far more...
