    WotC Warlock Invocations sources?

    Don't forget that Dragon Magic also has the Dragonfire Adept (I think it is called), which is basically a draconic version of the warlock (rather than fiendish). Also, many of its invocations are either re-titled warlock invocations or can easily be made into warlock invocations. (Only the...

    Why don't more people play high level campaigns? 13th+

    D&D makes less sense at those levels . . . As others have no doubt mentioned (I have not yet read the thread in full.), the divination spells available to characters of those levels makes any level secrecy not involving deities or similar beings rather difficult. Similarly, travel is no longer...

    How many have considered buying EoMR in print?

    I recently bought both the EoMR and its sequel in print at ENWorld's storefront on Lulu.com. Afterwards I began to wonder how common or uncommon this might be? Are others making use of this service, or am I one among few?

    Human(ity) Domain?

    Well chosen. I have to admit that I was leaning towards Plant Growth initially for that level, but the prior postings regarding focusing on skills made me select Clairaudiance and Nondetection instead. The same was basically true for when I considered Legend Lore and Mind Blank, although I still...

    Need an alternative assassin-type

    The setting is low magic, and what magic is present for use would be considered more in line (powerwise, level for level) with the Adept than with the Wizard or Cleric. All of which means that all the classes of that setting are a bit weak compared to typical core classes. I haven't looked at...

    PrCs - which ones are (a bit) over the edge?

    Um, at level 19-20 I would not consider +24 on first attack or only 40 damage (per attack) to be all that much - even without buffs. +24, pre buffs, is more or less expected, if not a bit low for that level for a fighter or barbarian (or ranger, actually). Only 40 damage (pre-buffs)? A 19-20th...

    PrCs - which ones are (a bit) over the edge?

    Any PrC that specializes will be "a bit over the edge" in the area of its specialization and underpowered in most other areas. Or, at least, that is how it is supposed to be. An undead hunter, for instance, should slay undead with almost disgusting ease compared to core classes and other PrCs...

    Need an alternative assassin-type

    You know, the obvious choice would be the Assassin core class in Swashbuckling Adventures. It does not even require being Evil (although I think it discourages being good). It is a non-magical class, using sneak attack, death attack, and having specials related to stealth and getting away...

    Human(ity) Domain?

    Another vote for Able Learner Also, I would suggest the following spells (in spoiler box). My suggestion on the final construction of the domain follows: 1 Comprehend Languages // Humans - at least in my games - tend to have a multiplicity of cultures and lanugages. Charm Person // The...

    Sunder vs. Natural Weapons

    You know, that is an excellent idea. I'd probably modify it - have them state where they are trying to aim as they make the strike, and then having the nearest limb, etc potentially severed (or nearly as bad) upon a successful save vs massive damage (if massive damage actually occurred). Or...

    How do you simulate Martial Arts like those in "The Condor Heroes"?

    There was a thread a while back about a new Monk variant based on the warlock. Let me see if I can find it . . . here it is: http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?p=3017697 Choosing the right mantras, strikes, etc could easily mimic many if not most mythic monk styles. If not, you could...

    Sunder vs. Natural Weapons

    Sounds like the "Regenerate" spell will finally see a little use! :D Seriously, it could bring up a few problems. For instance, if you allow a sundering of a beast's claw from its body, why not also allow the sundering of a hand or arm holding a weapon? If you allow the sundering of a lion's...

    Looking for advice on the size of a city

    Good point. In a magical setting - especially a (typically high) magical setting like core D&D - there are numerous solutions to everyday problems. The earthen (or even stone) walls that surround the town could have been raised from numerous castings of Move Earth, Wall of Stone, etc. Move Earth...

    Looking for advice on the size of a city

    That site is actually rather good for this, as it is based upon tax documents from a high middle ages french city. I'm not sure if it was Paris or another city. One of the first things you will notice is the huge number of shoemakers and priests. The second could be modified down a bit...

    Sparta-like Empire

    Here is some new info for you: http://www.livescience.com/history/070312_300_movie.html A historian well versed in the history of ancient greece discusses the movie and how realistic (and unrealistic) it was in various respects. Needless to say, unrealism won out.

    Rope Trick and Handy Haversack

    By this logic, why couldn't a PC place a portable hole (or even a handy haver sack, or a bag of holding) inside a handy haver sack (or bag of holding, or portable hole, etc) - so long as they do not open the second bag while it is still within the first bag? Many DMs seem to ignore encumbrance...

    Where do you see the evolution of the D&D game heading?

    The problem with this idea is that there is less money to be made from digital games than 'collect them all' minis. At least unless the digital game is a MMOG and is well enough made to maintain a substantial population of players, and the current WotC simply lacks the setup for such. I would...

    15 levels of Mystic Theurge

    Wow !!! Who in their right mind wouldn't take AH over MT! True, you have druidic casting instead of cleric, but you have (albeit reduced a few levels) continued wildshaping, and your animal companion more or less becomes your familiar - meaning that while no more animal companion benefits are...

    Where do you see the evolution of the D&D game heading?

    2015 - Chainmail, 2nd edition [ie: D&D 5th edition] !! Personally, I think it is headed towards a modern version of Chainmail - maybe computerized, but I doubt it, as Hasbro (and thus WotC) will see the advantage of requiring players to buy more and more minis for their battlemat fantasy combat...
