Yes, although I believe only arcane casters with Arcane Disciple (Healing) could actually use such a scroll. That, and somebody with Use Magic Device (or a Bard, I think).

*Looks at the Bard 1/Rogue 4/Assassin 5/Sublime Chord 2 (CArc)/Arcane Trickster 8 build in front of him* Bugger. ;)

Assuming you purchased these items: Amulet of Natural Armour +5 (50k) Bracers of Armour +8 (64 k) and Ring of Protection +5 (50k) Yes. Gloves of Dexterity is also a good idea. A Periapt of Wisdom is also an excellent idea, although you'd have to choose between it and the amulet of natural...

If you're going to focus on sudden striking, I'd get Deadly Precision (+2 quality) for at least one of your weapons (if you have the money/room on your weapon). It adds 2d6 damage to your Sneak attack or Sudden Strike ability. You must already have Sneak attack/Sudden Strike to use it. EDIT...

Wounding inflicts 1 Constitution damage when it strikes (doesn't multiply on a critical). Worth +2.

Well, +1 is a basic enhancement bonus (you'll want higher than this). You probably already know this. Viscious is found in the DMG, and is for melee weapons only. It allows you to deal an extra 2d6 points of damage with your weapon, but you are dealt 1d6 damage each time you strike with it. It...

760,000 gold pieces. It's recommended that the player not spend more than 50% of their wealth on a single item.

Ice Storm- Yea Acid Arrow- Yea Major Image- Nay. It's a concentration duration spell, which explicitly called out as not allowed for Extend Spell. Or rather...you can do it but the Major Image wouldn't actually be extended.

They give an armour bonus, but they only give a kind of "force armour" effect. For that reason, they are used a lot by Monks, Wizards and Sorcerers... ...and Ninjas, of course

Yeah. Sorry I wasn't more clear, DuDe iTz FLeX.

Fair enough Dude, Since there's precedent, I'd go with point buy in this case. Blackrat's article is really useful to read, if you haven't already. It'll help you out regarding where to put your ability scores. Personally, I'd go for Dexterity, Wisdom, then Intelligence (skill points) in...

Sounds good, although you'll need some very intense poisons to get past most creatures' Fortitude saves. Keep in mind that many creatures are immune to poison, especially at high levels. Nightfall's right (again!), it really is up to your DM. Ninjas get Poison Use as a class ability, so...

No kidding. I sleep poorly on nights that I recall the last epic game (level 32) I was in. Of course, that was largely because the DM didn't (and still doesn't) understand the difference between LA and ECL. :uhoh:

It is. They are pretty very good (about as strong as Dwarves, IMO). They have fantastic synergies with the rogue class (which is their favoured class, no less), even more than halflings, since they are faster (30ft move), have better skill bonuses to move silently, and they have both darkvision...

I'm not smart. I'm just long-winded. :p Blackrat- Yeah, I've never been that fond of it (the Shadow Jump, that is). Good in an emergency though, or as part of a larger plan. :) It's one reason why I like the ability as written in Bo9S, since it's of more practical use. Tome of Magic also...

I have to say going Epic with players new to D&D isn't usually a great idea, in my opinion. After all, you can kick all kinds of butt with mid-level (IMX 9-13th level or so) PCs. That being said, you say epic... but just how epic are we talking here? Level 21? 27? 40? Wik's suggestion of Ninja...

Black Hole dragons are teh suxx0rz!

Don't let it happen again. You might set a precedent! :D ;) I think there was a spell or feat in the Forgotten Realms that does that, but I'm not sure. Had something to do with the Simbul, I believe. There may also be something more recent.

Nightfall's got the measure of it, by RAW. Your hypothetical wizard may be able to do spell research to "discover" an arcane cure x wounds spell, but you'd really want to discuss it with a DM. If you are the DM, you'll need to weigh up the pros and cons of allowing such a thing. Regardless...

I've been invited to run a game in-store at my FLGS, and it would probably have to be a no house rule game so that anyone can just plug in and play. I'm still not sure if I'm going to actually do it or not yet. A friend of mine back in my home town ran an essentially open book game, the only...
