One question that has been ignored is whether we want to keep the sorcerer/wizard divide. If we do, then a spell that is Wizard 2 in the new system should also be Sorcerer 3, and we have to divide the first level wiz/sorc spells into both halves (for wizards) and thirds (for sorcerers). Bards...

Strange. I was sure that there was a rule that stated the person activating the wand was the caster, but I cannot find it now. Perhaps I'm remembering scrolls or potions. Even without that, I'm not certain how you could interpret "Target: You" and "Range: Personal" to be someone other than...

Unless Alter Self is very poorly named, it would have to be the minotaur using the wand. If your campaign has potions of True Strike or Shield, then potions of Alter Self could also be made, but RAW, that won't work. It should be easily inside the scope of Miracle or Wish, but that is probably...

If you want to move during combat, you have three options. 1. Five foot step. You carefully move away and do not provoke an AoO. You cannot move any more during the rest of your turn. 2. Withdrawal. This is a full round action, and you do not provoke when leaving the first square. You...

Syldar grabs a quiver of arrows to replace the ones that she shot during the night. She thinks for a moment, and says, "An archer can never have too many arrows" and picks up the remaining quivers. She looks at the short bow and tests the draw. "This is nicer than mine, but it is sort of...

Actually, the atmosphere should be mostly fine. The hamster is travelling well over the speed of sound, which means that the compressed air in front of the hamster does not have time to get out of the way of the hamster before the hamster passes through. This will have two effects. The...

The biggest problem that I see is, after using a move, swift and free action to make the three bluffs, you only have a standard (and free) action left. Getting three attacks out of a standard is challenging. I haven't recently looked at most of the abilities listed near the end of your post...

Syldar also examines the box. "Léiríonn an draíocht" she says and concentrates on the box. Cast detect magic. Mainly to get a spellcraft check (if relevant), since if it's not magical, Izzik will aready know. Upcoming spellcraft check does not include +2 racial bonus to id magical items.

Syldar looks confused by Maia's recent statements. "If you don't want us to, we won't tell them. But I'm not certain who 'they' are." As she waits for Maia's answer, she gestures with her hand and the lights fly to the top of the tower. I'm not sure how many rounds are left on the duration...

Tired of being nibbled on by the tiny bat, Syldar drops her bow and pokes at the bat with a spear. I thought I had already posted. Sorry about that. Free: Drop bow. Move: Draw spear Std: Attack bat

Sydlar tries to step away from the bat next to her, but the stairs tremble and she decides to risk firing while the bat is next to her. "Covered in blood and gore, soon the bats shall fly no more. Then we shall see what power, caused the clamor in this tower." She draws her bow and fires once...

I think I need to wait for the dire bat to go, as it's before me in initiative. Otherwise, I can post a "if the bat does this I do that else if ... turn, but that is complicated and does not seem to always work like I expect.

It also matters if you tend to fight NPC's or monsters. NPC's will tend to have attack routines like +25/+25/+20/+15/+10, while a monster will be more like +22/+22/+22. An AC of 25 is effective against the +15 and +10 attacks, but less so against the monsters attacks that are not taking...

Syldar steps into Ausk's space and continues her song. "The stairs they do wobble, while with bats we squabble. But we shall win the night, against those with flight!" Out of range of the bats, she puts her spear away and shoots at one of the bats. Free: continue bardic music. Free: 5 foot...

That works for me.

It looks like Syldar is in melee with the bat, and probably won't be able to get out of melee, with the steps being crowded. Since her posted action has not happened and the bat has moved, I think she has an unused move action that I'd like to use to draw her spear. She's not going to drop the...

If we are basing it on spells, I would look at the cost of all their spells from the top 2-3 spell levels. If you can cast a 5th level spell, casting a 1st level spell does not add much. Out of combat, the party could probably replicate the effect with a wand/scroll/potion for less than the...

Syldar begins to sing of the bats doom. "Though bats may fly, soon they will die. We'll free the tower, as we show our power." She then raises her bow and takes aim at the bat. "Fear not, Maia, your next shot will strike true." Std: Begin bardic performance (inspire courage) Free: redirect...

As an upper bound, I would look at the cost of hiring the cleric to cast all of his spells. So if he has a 16 Wisdom (hence one bonus spell of each level), that is 3 3rd level spells, 4 second level spells and 5 1st level spells. So 10*(3*3*5 + 4*2*5 + 5*1*5) = 10 * (45 + 40 + 25) = 1100...

Syldar whispers to Maia as the group moves up the steps. "The belfry is the room at the top of the tower where the church bells are. Frequently it is inhabited by bats." She grins at her. "But totnight, it seems that there is some problem there. A man staggered into the inn and said...
