    Plane Shift Focus?

    Isn't a focus just a material component that isn't used up when the spell is cast? Also, if you get Plane Shift from a spell like ability, you could cast it without a fork.

    Shade, Shadow Stride, Teleportation?

    Warning: I have very little experience playing with the FRCS I would say yes. Anticipate Teleportation states that it delays all teleportation spells and effects, including those with the teleportation spell descriptor. Moving between two places instantly is teleportation. Does Shadow...

    Plane Shift Focus?

    This is really one of those times where you have to ask your DM when you gain access to the spell. Is it, by default, in my component pouch? Can I eschew it since there's no cost? Do I need to consult a sage?

    For a second I was waiting for classic "Bad DM Syndrome" to appear where the monk was able to single handily defeat all the monsters, win the girl, and turn all of your characters in to his groupies. You think that when his PC went down in one hit that it would have tipped him off something...

    SEGA!

    The other night my daughter wanted to play a video game. Thinking, I went downstairs and pulled out my old Sega Nomad*. New batteries, blow in the cartridge slot, and turned right on. She's now enjoying Sonic the Hedgehog 2. I'm impressed that it not only still worked but that it was hassle...

    Rotating Cast of Characters

    How do you, as a GM, deal with a player that is constantly bringing in new characters? Someone that makes a character, runs them for a few sessions, gets bored and then wants to bring in someone new? Either the old PC retires quietly, runs off into the dungeon by himself, or does something...

    Adventure Help, PLEASE!

    I really like the idea that ccs suggested. The only thing I can think to throw onto that would be the following: The Artificer gets information from the other sages that District X has been very peculiar and they would greatly appreciate if he could investigate what is happening there. It...

    Level 11 Frost Mage

    Wait ... how did they even qualify?! They need 8 ranks in Knowledge Arcana (wizard 5) and I cannot fathom how a 3rd level character would even fulfill the special requirement!

    Here's what I would do. I'm sure that there are people here that can crunch the numbers for the most effective route possible. Human - Dreadful Wrath 1 - Able Learner (Pick this up early to get the most benefit) F1 - Power Attack F2 - Combat Expertise 3 - WF (Scythe) F4 - WS (Scythe) 6 -...

    Could it possibly be that he doesn't want to DM? And that this is his half hearted way of stating that? Really, you're only a DMPC away from being a cliche.

    It sounds like everyone except the fighter is on their feet. Can you get everyone to the other side of the pit and attempt to parley? Have you been entitled to sense motive checks to see if they've been charmed? If they're fighting like automatons (Beep, boop, kill intruders!) and not even...

    What did the DM expect? For you to run? Surrender? Five CR 2 encounters is something like CR 6 or 7. What was it you encountered? Is it possible to parlay? Will the belligerents take prisoners? Or are they more interested in eating you?

    Need some ideas for magic's return

    What happened to the characters that ascended? Perhaps magic returned because they perished? Maybe more magical creatures, such as dragons, are being born? Or maybe, the elder god, passed some gas and the magic returned that way?

    spell & character sheet

    Do you have access to Spell Forge? That should give you a print out with all your abilities on it. Otherwise, you can always check the SRD here

    Soultpp, there is a group of users (paging Heliomance) attempting to continue and rebuild heroforge. You can find their work here

    Monkey Grip still gives you a -2 penalty to hit. The original build called for Improved Buckler Defense. Which, depending on the campaign needs to be weighed versus an animated shield.

    I think it is more that the group does not have access to the source books.

    Interesting Fight Mechanics

    I was in an encounter once where we were squared off against a giant golem / war machine. We could pound on it but it rapidly repaired the damage we dealt. The way to beat it was for the rogue to climb up into the golem itself, dodging the clock work and pistons, in order to disable it from...

    No worries! I just mentioned it since your post may get more visibility on the Char Op board. :) Some thoughts: Dreadful Wrath gives you an AoE Shaken effect. Stack this with Intimidate to make your opponent frightened. You can either use the skill straight up, grab the Fearsome armor...

    First, this should be in the Char Op forum. Hopefully a helpful mod will move it to the right place. :) I'm going to assume straight fighter and keep it to what you listed. I'll add comments after the level by level suggestions. Human - Dreadful Wrath 1 - Combat Expertise1 F1 - Power...
