So I have a bit of an issue in a game run by my DM (who is also a player in my game). I have taken to the goal of buying my own shop in the dream that my Dwarf Wizard can one day build a stronghold of crafters and sorcery. However, this has created a lot of conflict, because I proposed we start...

If any Lich is capable of forming a sun to house his soul, he's a god. He doesn't need to worry so much about mortals, but Pelor getting in his grill about messing with his smooth rays is another story. There can be only one...:cool:

I think the real question that needs to be asked is what happens to a Troll that's beheaded by a Vorpal sword? Something like that happened to a Troll in a game I played, and kept regenerating. Now, I'd like to think that's wrong, but then again, the tarrasque can't be killed until a Wish is...

My inclusion of the spell WotB was there because it was used as such in another adventure run by a writer of the new 3rd edition game. Granted, they were probably writing up the rules while the game played, but all the same...what a nasty way to go. :eek:

Apologies. Should have said, "devils who are immune to the damage the River Styx." Fiendish Codex II introduced species of devil which survive in the water, and not only that, the Draconomicon introduced the Styx Dragon, a dragon which swims the entirety of the river through the evil planes. You...

In regards to Resilient Sphere in a Time Stop, I feel I need to say nay. You're attacking the target with a spell, hence the need of a Reflex save. You got the right idea though, with using spells that will force the target to rely on magic to escape somehow. Oh Time Stop, you magnificent spell...

Umm, no. Then you have devils (who are immune to the damage the River Styx can do) steal your valuable phylactery from the waters and extort from you at fear of your soul entering the hells. So no, not the ultimate deposit box at all. If anything is ultimate, it's the Living Vault (which could...

It does, and I played in one which had something like that. Except magic was implemented after "it was released" or something, and we could start taking classes. Problem was, none of us were built for casting. Because we were lead under the assumption of a pure fighting world, we built ourselves...

Concentrating on a spell comes about in the thick of combat, where in you're focusing on your defenses while being attacked, or keeping a spell in mind while you try to shrug off a blow to the head. Constitution seems like a very valid score in that regard. Disabling a trap would be an INT or...

Have you considered Secret Chest? No destroyed bags/holes, or having to deal with the logic of what happens to the items on the inside. Just a chest you let get lost in the Ethereal Plane, and the only way to retrieve it at some point is extraplanar expedition. While the chest is nonmagical, it...

I find it surprising the Illumian can have so many boons yet no drawbacks such as Level Adjustment. The only negative I note is a -4 to saves versus glyph/rune/sigil/symbol spells, and that's only if your Lvl is lower than the CL of the spell, otherwise you're immune. It seems a bit overpowered...

So not only should the party of 25th Lvl PCs have gotten blown to smitherens, but just one of his spells could have killed them with living nightmares? That's something to ponder alright. :devil:

Note the bold text, because I think some focus needs to be put on that. This player is too focused on it being a negative towards him. Heck, it's not even a positive, even when it's a fact it can be used against the NPC. It's neutral, plain and simple. Also, it sounds like you have a combative...

Exactly what does your player see wrong with something being dangerous? Oh, I and they have a chance of doing massive damage in the first round, and I don't like that because...it could drastically change what I or they may do in the following rounds of combat? Has he even thought that might be...

I have to wonder who it's overpowered for. In the scenario of Caelis and Thrallan, I suppose I could see the point of the both of them being already ready to strike each other, but that's up to the DM is such a situation arises. The point of initiative is to get first blood, which has the...

Combined with the Archmage High Arcana ability Mastery of Elements, it's not so bad. ;) a. Greater Restoration only gives back XP from level drain/negative levels. Not that it isn't viable, because you could have a vampire servent to help you with such a task. The problem I see is the free XP...

Coupled with the City-Bonded Urban Soul (which I'm keen on), you got yourself an uber powered Batman. ;)

Which leaves me pondering why it had to be a 45th Lvl NPC versus a party of 25th. My guess is this is more an experiment than something actually balanced. Heck, you may even be putting too much thought into this, and get disappointed when you find all your planning was for nothing. So...just...

True, unless the situation isn't meant to be taken that seriously. As an experiment, I had 3 PCs try and stop a Balor Chef from serving human flesh to the populace, all Lvl 5. They eventually mocked a "play" of Good Cop Bad Cop and did a coup de grâce with his own weapon via Bluffs and role...

An interesting magic that one is. Instead of just having the Enhancement Bonus taken over, the entire armor is used as well, which means you will still have your fortification fixed in. ...but, no, that doesn't really help the question and logic I proposed. It's another Druid exclusive, and the...
