And here is the most damaging Smackdown EVAR. The Smackdown to end all Smackdowns. After this post you'll close the thread because theire's nothing left to Smack. If you'll please cue the music. You need. 1 Psionicist (Telepathy), of at least 6th level with a Charisma of at least 13 and an...

Here's a straight Bard smackdown. Bard 16 Charisma 28 (18+4+6) Skill Focus: Use Magic Device Use Magic Device: +29 (19+7+3) Use your insane Use Magic Device and scrolls to duplicate a wizard/cleric smackdown of your choice.

Call me old fashioned, but I always liked "When I am reduced to below x hitpoints, cast Heal/Teleport me home" Also good for villains is the "If I am killed, cast Raise Dead." Kepp going, never worry about the future.

And I'd like to dedicate this one to Jeremy and all the other fine folks at Way Too Much Free Time Ltd. I knew I'd made a decent character.

Thanks for the links. Horns of Blasting stun for one round on a success. It's two if they fail. Waits for evil laughter to shatter his windows...

#13 The party runs into a large door covered in various runes of warding and warning. Real Men: Go back to town to gather rescources for the coming battle, then open it with axes. Real Roleplayers: Conduct hours of research on what may lie beyond. Loonies: Urinate on it. Munchkins: Charge! #14...

A quick questrion: Where is this 'Fight Club' you speak of? Now for the advice. You are already dead. Hitpoints can be drained so quickly you won't even realize they're there, DCs and saves can go into the high 30s, AC and attacks can easily go over 100, and in general there are so many ways...

Try a guisarm with Improved Trip and Combat Reflexes. While it won't keep them down forever, it can do some good for your team.

Large medieval armies would be almost useless for conventional attacks in a D&D world. According to the DMG, a 1st level NPC has 900 gp worth of equipment, while a wand of Fireballs cost 11250. This means that a Wand of Fireballs cost as much as 12.5 1st level soldiers. In any sort of...

Hook up some sort of effecton teleports into your base that stun the teleporters for a few rounds (Unhallow w/ a varient of Dimensional Anchor) , then give all you mooks ranged weapons (javelins are good). As soon as unfriendly people teleport in, the become unfriendly pincushions.

I think that hitpoints actually do a pretty good job of modeling the ability of heroic people to survive bad situations. The dagger to the throat, well even a 3rd level character won't be afraid of 1d4+Str points of damage, and so we can assume that the dagger never actually touches him. When...

If you're really rich and have good connection, get Druids to Reincarnate you everytime you die, and then use a Wish or simple Polymorph to assume your old form. A level every 70 or so years isn't much to pay for functional immortality.

A Fighter/Wizard has two main weak points in fighting ability, low hitpoints and low BAB, so you'll need a combat style that offset those weaknesses. The best way is to keep people away from you (reach) and use combat options that don't depend on high attack bonuses. Trip attacks are simple...

Grappling is really only useful if your combat action is worth more than your opponents, because grappling steals both your actions. The main porblem I have with it is that most PCs aren't very good at it, and mnay monsters have truely insane graplle checks plus improved grab and the ability to...

Yes, I remember those, my school library had a bunch of them, and like many people here they were my first introduction to roleplaying. Of course, after dying for the nth time due to a pit trap or mind worms or whatever, I would just read them straight through, and then pick the correct path...

You really need to get rid of all the Spellcasters, because D&D magic is much better than CoC magic. So here's a good way to do it. Everybody has a sanity score as normal, but spellcasters and creatures with spell-like abilities lose ability points for each spell slot or spell-like ability...

68) Designate a party 'face'. The guy with the highest Charisma and social skills or just the cleverest player, and have him do all the negotiating with NPCs 69 Everybody with free skill points should take a few ranks in Spot and Listen. Ambushes are a bad thing. 70Psionic characters should...

I would like to play. It would be a relief not DMing for once. I'm free every night but Wednesdays. AIM zarkology1

This looks like a very cool and stylish PrC, which is mostly balanced except for Sin is the Enemy, which is hugely overpowered in terms of the bonus it grants. I'd go with the other poster's advice on this.

Good Idea: Getting a high Int score for extra skill points... Bad Idea: ...Using those points on Use Rope and Craft: Basketry Good Idea: Winning initiative and charging the enemy... Bad Idea: ... before the wizard drops Fireballs in Lightning bolts into their midst. Good Idea: Sending...
