And despite single handedly defeating three of the five Titanium elementals, he gets 0 xp, for he has yet to defeat the summoner [Redcloak]. The five elementals are merely part of Redcloak's CR, by the RaW. Personally, if a Player did that, I would ad hoc some xp award for him. Play smarter...

http://web.archive.org/web/20050830021319/http://www.arcanearcade.com/wiki/index.php/HighArcana/HighArcana The following links work (and are not blank) on the main page: core classes (some revision notes) feats (only one feat - magical calling - is listed) spells (links to two pages...

What exactly does the AH get beyond dual casting in arcane and divine? I do not have the book, but so far it sounds like the AH is more or less the MT with a few extras. If that is the case, I see little wrong with expanding the MT when the alternative is to take a PrC that is in effect the MT...

Literally. Did you hear the news recently on that grocery store chain that will soon be charging its customers 5 cents per plastic bag used to bag any groceries bought? :confused: They also offer a 59 cent "deal" for a reusable bag that looks like a fancily folded blue tarp. :\ I am only...

Do you mean the Primal (epic) Elementals? They barely have enough hit points to survive, but they are 1) too large to fit in a catapult, and 2) Recloak is no where near to being high enough in level to summon one. Of course, he isn't high enough in level to make (use of a) mithril golem either ...

Well, now I know what Cloud's sword was made of and how he could toss it around as he did. :D 720 dmg? Yikes! For a Construct to survive the strike, it would have to have at least 124 HD! I'm guessing DM decision stated the wall would come down, then, as otherwise it would take several striking...

The 'normal' levels of most NPCs rarely reaches as high as fifth level. Personally, I tend to limit NPCs to beneath tenth level, and only the exceptional ones reach above fifth. If you are lower than fifth level, a war horse is a significant, potent, lasting mount. Once you get to levels 5+...

The idea has merit, but the crunch lacketh . . . This is a nice idea, but as it is presented I would not take it. Hmm, how about something like the following: You go through some religious ritual, sacrificing perhaps 100xp * your current level at a location (very) sacred to your deity...

Maybe they are planning a third one and intend to place those objects in that one? Or perhaps, if the enhancement was on more than one page, they only noticed / put up the first page, not realizing there was more to put up?

This just suggests to me that it should be a Cape (or Mantle) of Elvenkind - not boots - that grants a bonus to move silently (muffling the sounds of the body and its clothing, items, etc rather than muffling just the steps the feet make). Just as a Cloak of Invisibility would hide what was...

Maybe the door is a mimic? Perhaps the little gargoyle above the door is actually a (tiny sized) gargoyle? Perhaps those two statues by the entrance are stone constructs? Various small and medium sized outsiders come to mind as well. Don't forget the aberrations. After all, a conjurer may...

I second the vote for simulacrum. Thinking about it, it simply works too well. A halved in level Xykon probably is rebukable by Redcloak, after all, and it would have enough hp and spells to give a bit of a fight before it was destroyed - which would hold the attention of the OotS for a little...

At first I thought a Clone spell had been used on Xykon, but having re-read the description of the spell it seems highly unlikely . . . .

Wasn't there a feat tucked away in UA that granted a skill (or two?) as a class skill? I seem to recall such, but I do not have my book near me to look through.

I believe a monk replacement / equivalent class was created on an ENWorld board that was based upon the Warlock. One of its mantras (invocation equivalents) was a ki blast - again if I recall correctly. Here it is: http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?p=3017697&posted=1#post3017697 And...

Other How could you possibly forget the Vancian spell system?! :uhoh: :eek: :confused: :\ That would be the first vote of myself and, I believe, many many others. Otherwise: I like the d20 mechanics - which happen to include the saving throws and skill checks. I don't mind feats and...

I spent (earlier) today buying various miscellaneous items that looked interesting and were quite well priced: - Ars Lingua (I came across this one a while back, but somehow I never got around to buying it, despite my interest in making languages more realistic, interesting, and useful.) -...

That shows again the vast disconnect between the present and the past. As little as a few hundred years ago Salt was very very valuable in many - if not most - locations. In some places and times in this world, people were actually paid in salt - it was simply that valuable. That's why there are...

My correction. It is actually an energy type, not a DR type, but either way it is just as bad. :uhoh: :confused:

You know, I never really thought about it before, but that is exactly what those spells are - class features / specials. Hmm, I'll have to think more on that one. This requires some contemplative thought. True. Very true. So too, I think, would be altering their spell lists - returning clerics...
