    Looking for opinions on hijacking a player's spell (I DM)

    I'm glad you forgave me. And I agree, the difference between the two may go over a PC's head... but it has gone over the player's head, too. He is quite possibly digging his character's grave. Don't forget, creatures of the Outsider type are intentionally more powerful than the CR would...

    Looking for opinions on hijacking a player's spell (I DM)

    A single hit point worth of difference may very well be a matter of life and death. I'd pick the stronger any day of the week should they both be willing to help. Even so, we arrived at the same conclusion. As in, Grogg's plan is good. There is no need for hostility between the two of...

    Best idea so far. I support it wholeheartedly.

    Looking for opinions on hijacking a player's spell (I DM)

    He isn't missing anything. I, too, see the benefits. But the player likely won't care. There are precious few players who accept their fate in trade of a good story. They want to win or die on their own accord and terms, not to lose the fight against the DM that wasn't supposed to exist in the...

    Looking for opinions on hijacking a player's spell (I DM)

    I might ask you to teach me how to sound nice and convincing at once sometime. Back to topic, now that I thought about it more, I can't see why exactly her father has to be a trumpet archon. Why not some other kind of Outsider? Such as the one the PC would use? The whole idea seems unnecessary.

    Looking for opinions on hijacking a player's spell (I DM)

    So wanting more backup power makes no sense for her character?:P And you guys agree with him? Gods spare us. Have some perspective, only idiots consciously sacrifice effectiveness for style. She has the means and knowledge, of course she's going to summon the stronger outsider. Don't explain...

    Starting a new Very Low Magic setting, advice on mundane tricks/ideas.

    Craft and Knowledge checks are your best friends. Look around in real sources. I usually enhance my caster cheese with broken parts of reality, but they will work out without magic just fine. And with magic rare, countering magic becomes harder as well; Figments and Glamers should be a lot more...

    Building an Economy in D&D 3.x *Help*

    On that note, amaranth extracts can be used as miticide to protect your bees. I'd give it a DC 15 Craft(Alchemy) check, and you can still eat the weed afterwards.(I'm starting to sound silly pushing this... My knowledge of nigh-useless trivia bites me back. Who would have thought?) Do you have...

    Building an Economy in D&D 3.x *Help*

    Some small cuts and bonuses I've made use of before: 1. Grab the leftover bones from the pasture(or battlefields) for bonemeal, bone china and other crafts. At the very least, you could cook bone broth or just eat the marrow. 2. Spin thread from cow tail hair. Maybe your own hair. A little...

    Tabletop Gaming News for Wednesday, 24 April, 2013 [DARK DUNGEONS THE MOVIE! Plus the world's WORST

    It seems to me that most of his founders are D&D players who just want to see how hilariously ignorant the movie turns out to be. Good as it can be, I was afraid too many people would take it at face value.( I almost wrote seriously here, but I don't want to offend the genius behind this.)...

    Tabletop Gaming News for Saturday, 20 April, 2013 [Plus: D&D is Evil!]

    "X is evil! Let us steer clear of it so we'll have no clue how to deal with it further down the road!" This line of logic never ceases to baffle me. I've read into a Christian's blog recently, who explained in detail why should a Christian take care when or avoid playing D&D; He made a...

    Druid armor that has no spell failure chance

    You suspect correctly. To the OP, As a spellcaster, particularly of a strong class, you are able to avoid most Attack Rolls entirely with a smart spell selection, and Druids have Wild Shape to make up for the occassional mistake. AC is not quite important. Get Natural Spell as a feat, and...

    Ultimate Magus Build assistance

    ... Oh well. I probably can't grasp a situation in which you have such a low BAB. I should play full casters more often.

    Ultimate Magus Build assistance

    Feather Fall I can get, but why True Strike? You don't exactly use weapons, and you don't need the bonus for touch attacks. Don't. Don't. That spell doesn't exist. It's dead to us. Dead, you hear me?

    Ultimate Magus Build assistance

    Just say, 'Wizard'. It's in our job description. Bestow Wound it is. Not the worst I've seen. Actually, I'm fairly certain the build is salvagable. Could make a decent Raycaster or Ranged Gish. Can you ask him to send his sheet over, see what I can do? Same as the above. Maybe she should fill...

    Ultimate Magus Build assistance

    Hey now, my favourite build is a Barbarian gish. With an extensive and sensible backstory, I might add. Still, you use swear words and your views on Evocation are as they should be. I for one welcome you to the Arcane caster club. The first lesson you should remember is, you're not a cleric...

    Silly rules thoughts

    The item description states only the wearer is protected. Your gear can still catch on fire.

    Is there a Hide from Plants type spell?

    I support this idea! Keep the alliterative appeal though, make it Fey Fond. Rolls the tongue better.

    Beginner Artificer help

    Yeah, I'd... see that coming from a mile away. But, wands. - Enlarge Person is a better start than any damage spell of it's level(So long you fit into the dungeon, obviously). - Negative Energy Ray, to heal your undead minions! (What do you mean you don't have undead minions? What are you...
