Many a people have said this to me. I wholeheartedly have to agree.:D On how I will implement the PC in a game, I suppose it's a good thing the VoP is meant to be more roleplaying flavor. One of the things the DM has been trying to work into the game is fun roleplaying aspects, because it's a...

How U Mine 4 Fish? is the very first campaign I've started. Heck, it's how I got into DMing. Even so, we're going on a year and a half now exploring the world I set up, and it's barely finished, even though the lot is now at Level 12. The basis of the campaign and my intentions are for the...

You lucked out then. Me, I got a stubborn bully who to this day still thinks I was arbitrary against him and what he wanted to do in the game. Can't quite wrap my brain around that "logic", and I thankfully don't have to. :erm:

I think what you're looking for is the Change Shape special ability. You keep your stats and other natural bonuses (natural armor) while in any form the power allows. Of course, there is no spell to duplicate this (that I know of). But if this is for a monster for the PCs to face, just tack on...

What he said. Sadly, I sort of treat the Cohort like this as well, giving control to the PC more than my own device. Keep a watchful eye though, that I do. ;)

Except the Clay Golem, which requires Commune and Resurrection to create. But that's beside the point... Golems are the defenders of the magic users. They have the ability to shrug off magic to ward off other potential magic threats (and the physical ones they can't handle). That's the way I've...

*head desk* I am appalled to see a Divine Focus is disallowed due to rulings. And the Apostle of Peace just got a little bit more of a headache to me. So I suppose the next question is...is there a means to bypass this? At all? By the way, where is this FAQ spoken of found? I believe me and it...

The idea of collecting an item to gain a bonus with the spellcasting necessary sounds very much like a Banishment spell. To make it simple, perhaps that could be the required spell in order to seal the deal? Sure, there is no Cleric of Wizard/Sorcerer in the party, but that doesn't mean they...

Oh dear me, you're reminding me of my brothers first DM game. he created his own race, which was a combination of some lycanthrope and whatits, and he originally had him use natural attacks. But then he bought claws for his claws. So now they are "weapons"? It was a mess. All the more so when...

Time Stop. I thought Cover rules only applied to opponents and the like? From what I recall, an archer shooting someone who is behind an ally isn't effected by any sort of Cover rules, because he's shooting through allies, and not enemies. If he were shooting through an enemy, then cover would...

A difference between 110 and 55 negative energy damage with a save isn't cool. It's awesome. And I'm really appalled that someone who has just gotten access to Harm (and all the other cool spells mentioned) isn't as excited with the prospects as I am. :p

Quite aware of this. The complication comes in the form of the weapon in question being a Weapon of Legacy, of which you needed these inherent stats/skills to take the feats and progress the power (lest that's how I read it). What happens when you lose that which is inherent? Never got the DMs...

At minimum, you are talking a 13th Level Wizard with an Int 24. It's a nice ability you have there, but there's a cost... 1. 500 XP per casting, which I suppose at such levels is small, but... 2. It's not an instant desired effect. Sure, you cast it on the giant, and then he slaughtered you and...

Others have already made mentions in posts dealing with the first 2 quotes, though I suppose there's nothing wrong with elaborating a little more. :P A lot of the VoP deals with common sense. Poverty entails you don't have much, and it should reflect on your character as such. From there, it's...

Have you considered Reaping Mauler from Complete Warrior? 5 level progression that gives bonuses to grappling, including a nifty skill to kill an opponent if you maintain a grapple for 3 rounds. Book also contains Hulking Hurler...but...I'm guessing you know that already? :uhoh: Master Thrower...

One of those things that you think doesn't need to be asked, but yes. Anything that is alive and can be mentally effected can be given a Geas/Quest. Please note however: it is not control. That's Domination you're thinking about. Geas/Quest simple gives the recipient a specific task, and should...

I'm using this should the opportunity present itself. I suffered from such a problem with an Ogre who had the Weapon of Legacy Stormchaser's Cudgel. You needed a required STR to even use it to get on the Legacy path, and my DM thought all I needed was a Belt of Giant Strength and everything...

Ahhh...the VoP. Finally "tying this out" with a Monk and going into Apostle of Peace. Granted, it's mostly an experiment, and I don't really care if it's optimal, because I'm a guest in the game when I'm available (hence the quotes). Coupled with the Vow of Peace, you have great defenses, and an...
