You make me wish that I had my book present, and not with another DM, for I forget if that immunity is only for undead or all encompassing. Gah. :-S A favored spell in a game I played in was Sheltered Vitality, which I know is in the Spell Compendium, but I forget if it has a different source...

I'm very curious as to how this came to be and turned out. I assume the DM was presenting a storyline he wanted to try out, only to find out the the PCs refused to go on such a path? I know it's the PCs who run the show in almost all aspects, but I tend to root for the DM a little more than the...

My brother got deep into the Mounted Archery with his wolf animal companion. Needless to say, he dominated on the field when there was plenty of space to run around. When he was learning about mounted combat, I directed him to the Rules of the Game Archive at Wizards. There's a 5 part article...

By giving them what they specifically ask for, keeping in mind that what they ask for cannot be given without some sort of detriment. I once offered three wishes to the only two PCs who showed up to the session, and all three were Wishes that were beyond what a Wish could give without detriment...

Trap The Soul is another option, though it also is rare like the Iron Flask mentioned above. Also have to take into account the one use gem for the spell to work. If it's a simple Noble, that's a 10k gem minimum. Trapping creatures in any means is so expensive. :eek:

The coming of Shothragot, which the gods prevent by placing a seal upon the world which makes Conjuration magic cease to function...well, at least calling, summoning, and teleportation spells. So it can only stop a bit I suppose. Then I suppose Anitmagic Field is go? :p Good link! Read through...

Iron Flask is what you're looking for. Imprisons no matter their form. On getting one, you probably find it in an old ancient dungeon, make one yourself, or somehow get owed one by a powerful wizard. We're talking about something that can only be created by a 20th Level Wizard after all. Rare as...

Everything has a counter if you have the means and the power to do so. It's like saying wizards fail because they need a mouth while other classes don't need it (I'm talking about Silence, of course, but it just looks odd when I read it over). If Conjuration spells are the only thing a perfect...

Those two thought I was out to kill their characters, even though I pointed out they accepted the Quest without question. The one who freaked insists I retroactively applied the Quest because of what he was doing in the game, which of course isn't true. To this day he still thinks this, no...

I like what has been said already, but I feel it needed to note all the same. ;) It's not cheap for an NPC to have plenty of magic up its sleeve to disguise their true intentions, making their Bluff, Disguise, Diplomacy and all other checks high. In fact, you should have them there in order to...

To which I say it's perfect for Epic play...you're immune to ALL spells (except the ones noted that effect the type of golem). If you are already in Epic, you probably have other ways to heal yourself besides your friend Cleric and means to buff. At its simplest, potions still work, don't...

That book is crack, I tell you. I've yet to get my hands on the book yet, or even read what it has. Probably for the best, considering don't think I know all the magic items from the original DMG yet. Going to be a goal of mine. Then I'll drive mytself nuts with the MIC. And I think my brother...

I first considered writing this via a blog at some point, but I suppose there's no harm in writing about it now and revising later. Helps clear the head a little. :p It was a brand new game, and only lasted two sessions due to the outburst that occurred. The premise of the game to give the PCs...

Because of the high saves, I always thought it would be a fun means to offer Epic characters extra powers via the limbs. Think of them as magical items for the PCs to buy (with or without knowing the risks it would bring). Think about! Make all 6 of those saves, and you keep those bonuses and...

My brother once considered the idea of crafting alternate items for his Druid character, and have them be akin to the Wild enhancement for armor (even though the item would be melded, he would still gain the benefit). I don't know how the math would work with that, but perhaps that's something...

I'm supposed to stop buying supplement books, not get more...even if they are awesome. Something to check out though. Shame I don't have a single level of Cleric though, and this spell is not part of the Apostle of Peace's spell list.

From the limited info I got from Internets, it's a weapon that can be created by the Mind Flayers, yes? On how this was aquisitioned, I must know. Or is it simply being bought and used for a 25th level start up PC? Whatever the case, not necessarily a Vorpal weapon. Possibly a cheaper means to...

As a DM who needs to learn better means of starting a game and progressing a game, I approve this thread. Gotta use some of this stuff. :cool: And yeah, that's all I got in the now. Little too blown away to say much else on everyone's know how. :-S

Separate rolls for each facet alright. Just like poison/disease DCs don't get meddled with if you're hit with multiple strikes giving you them. You may have been bitten 17 times by that viper, but it's not one giant save. That's 34 saves: 17 immediately, and 17 ten rounds later. Enjoy the...

I didn't even think you would gain some insight to what you were looking for when I said that. Was just making a random whip at the time. Good to see it worked out. ;) And the Dybbuk wiki article has just given me some logic to why the Ghost keeps coming back via its Rejuvenation power...
