Well, first you would grapple and pin your opponent. Then, if you had sufficient strength, you would hurl him as if he was an object. I'm sure there's a page somewhere for determining distance hurled by mass and strength of hurler. Since giants often do such things for fun (Go for distance! Go...

Indeed. This very much reminds me of shooting someone in the back of the head with a phaser rifle. Set phasers on disintegrate!

Wizards, Pro: 1. Strategic flexibility: Can potentially have access to all possible spells. 2. Gains access to spells faster levelwise. 3. Extra Skills: Int provides more collateral benefits than Chr. 4. Free Feats: Scribe scroll at 1st, bonus feats every 5th. Wizards, Con: 1. Spellbook...

There doesn't appear to be a limitation. 200d6 is not an unreasonable level of damage for a 20 ton object smashing into something at ~25 feet per second. It's an average of 700 points of damage, which, while very high, is not unsurvivable for a creature of considerably larger size and hitpoints...

Yes, and on the higher strategic level, unless the intent was to completely ignore it and boil it into a single die roll, the player is going to have to manage that, too. The D&D rules don't really cover strategy on the larger scale of armies and logistics, but whatever rules you're going to dig...

Hmm, yes, and for beholders, rolling stone traps, and other spherical goodness, we have treats from http://www.origamiboulder.com

Nonlethal damage, being nonlethal, doesn't contribute towards a character dying. PHB v3.5, p146, "Do not deduct the nonlethal damage number from your current hitpoints." However, he then gets thwacked for 20 points of real damage. 10 - 20 = -10. He's dead, Jim. If what you meant was "A...

That'd be a terrible waste. You're running a tactical/strategy campaign, so more than ever, every skillpoint is a critical resource, that can't be squandered on a skill which obviously must become from the player: Unless the DM is prepared to simply cough up advice on demand for somebody who...

Hell, yes. Why do you think the ability to cause collateral damage is one of the primary considerations I use when picking a spell? Any halfwit can lob damage directly at opponents, but it takes true tactical finesse to skillfully orchestrate a spell so that not only does it directly damage...

Heh. Bandwidth issue? I somehow have a feeling that forcing anyone who wants to do a search to write or use an archiving spider on the forum is going to be helpful to the bandwidth. Make people download the entire forum contents so they can search it, just so you can save bandwidth? Sounds like...

What kind of damage type is the enhancement? Is the damage type of the enhancement the same as the damage type of the attack dealing the damage? Can it affect the non-crittable? Does it work within an antimagic area? Does SR affect it?

You knew that I'd have something to say about collateral damage, didn't you? From the disintegrate I knew in second edition, I'd have stared at you kind of funny for even proposing its use against people. I'm sure that a violation of the Geneva Convention or something. But yes, the obvious...

Any of the above cases would create a massive disruption in the space-time continuum that would completely consume the universe within 1d4+1 rounds.

For a one-shot character, why not check out the smackdown threads?

Nonsense. Tumble is absolutely essential in a courtly game, if you happen to be the jester.

Seems kinda weak. Also, the concept of increased damage vs. larger targets was kicked around awhile back. I personally think that while a larger target is in a position to eat more of an area attack, it's also larger, so the effects are mostly surface damage rather than internal hits, which are...

Here's something to put it into perspective: 1 million GP is equal to 10 tons of pure gold. Gold currently has a price of ~$370 per troy oz, which means that to put it into perspective, the amount of gold we're talking about is worth $107M. You can buy an awful lot of heavy weaponry for that...

Don't compromise: All those small lower-bonus items are shortly going to wind up being sold at a loss, because upgrading your kit is going to eventually require you to replace that item: The longer you can postpone having to replace an item, the better, and the larger the bonus is on the item...

I carefully observe a player for potential signs of attachment to characters. When I observe the process beginning, I arrange for the character's death. Of course, so as to be fair about it, so the player doesn't feel singled out, I arrange the deaths of all of the other characters also. Come...

I'd rather commit seppuku with a rusty steak knife than play DAOC.
