Heck yeah! Roll those dice! The fighter types are rolling 1-20 dice around for to-hits, weapon damage, extra damage dice, and not even considering rolling confirmations on criticals from those huge threat ranges. Bring on the clatter! As for averages, the more dice you throw, the closer you...

How often do your players get into long-range combat? Do you have any long-ranged combat scenarios that you have used that were interesting? Most of my arrow combats are because of the players assaulting a defensible position. Range is typically no more than 200 ft. /ds

I think they might consider themes on that tactic, but not the exact machinery used by your character. They would have to go through the arduous process that you hinted at, but they would have a foundation to start. Definitely. Characters can rise from 1-20 in a season or two as per the core...

It's not in FRCS. A search on google turned up several bits. A product review: http://www.wku.edu/~charles/rpgs/d&d/reviews/cwp_evil.html Cheers, /ds

Keep in mind that while some of these ideas are crafty, there are NPCs out there with genius-level intellects are more crafty than you can surmise. If they want to find your soul, they'll immediately consider most, if not all, of these suggestions. My guess is that your Sorceror isn't going to...

Heh. Figures. Thanks all.

Are fractional hit die considered a full hit die for spells that have a HD limitation? For example, sleep affects 2d4 HD of creatures. If you roll a 2, would that affect 2 kobolds or 4 kobolds? (Kobolds are HD 1/2 d8). Cheers, /ds

Be more imaginative. tenser's transformation has one component that adds BAB. It does a lot of other things, too. The downside is that you can not cast spells. Why not create a spell that grants only BABs and allows you to cast spells. Put that into an item and get your +10 BAB to gain your...

Actually, I didn't. Unless 40th-level characters are being born from the heads of gods, it makes a difference. Background. Roleplaying. /ds

I totally agree. The cop-out is magic, of course. Since you seem to have some time on your hands :), how many clerics creating food would be required to sustain that population. You may be able to work it such that a population of 1.4M people is reasonable by combining farming and the ability...

It is a tough situation, for sure. The players can get 1/4 cover (-2) at will. The enemies likewise have the range penalty (-2). It is typically 4 players against 3 snipers. Rushing the fortification can give the players peace, but the snipers will still be a threat. The players have...

The PCs can only attack with ranged weapons and typically with 1 range increment (-2). The enemies have 1/2 cover (-4). In effect, their to hit requires +6 more on average. They are low level characters.

How much ad-hoc XP award would you give for the enemy being in a defensible position? I'm thinking a 10% bonus. Cheers, /ds

Well, silence is damning. :)

Yeah, but IIRC, wizards are still in a bind if they are captured, mugged, etc. because they will not have spell components. To ensure that they will be somewhat effective in dire circumstances, they should probably master spells that do not required foci or components. /ds

I presently have no opinion on this. On one hand, it is an 8th-level spell and the wording seems fairly straightforward. On the other hand, it doesn't seem immediately obvious that true strike and see invisibility would be stopped by mind blank. On true strike: The character that will be the...

No, I'm not talking about those players that try to use Bucket-o-Snails (TM) for the WWA + GC, but rather the younger monstrosities that ooze across the landscape of Your World. :D The Monster Manual has rules for increasing the HD of creatures through their advancement chart. It also states...

Hear! Hear!

And if the player thought that iterative attacks would increase into the epic levels? Would you allow that as well? ("Hey! I didn't know that I couldn't get +40/+35/+30/+25/+20/+15/+10/+5! My whole character concept is ruined!") At some point, the DM is going to have to cut-off the player's...

I thought the general consensus was that you couldn't select different feats, choose different skill point allocation, raise a different attribute, or re-roll HP when you gained a level? If I recalled correctly, why would you allow a different class? Given that I am wrong, I am certain that...
