    Gaming Nags- how many are there out there?

    It seems to me that gamin' and wives just don't mix. I discussed this one of my players (newly married) who thinks that his wife is now deliberately coming up with stuff he HAS to do whenever there are games, despite the fact that he clears it with her earlier and she doesn't say she won't...

    All in good fun or too offensive

    What they need is a hellacious combat, where everyone nearly dies and they must all rely on each other to survive. Sometime crackin' a few non-party member heads is just what is needed to boost morale and let everyone show off their qualities. -AoA

    Can a Touch Spell be used with a Slam?

    Yes, you can do touch + unarmed strike. An ancient villian in one of our games would cast Harm then punch people! (2nd Ed, w/Str 30!!!) Talk about a killer combo!

    Greatest Insult to a D&D PLAYER (OOC)

    I find the power gamer tag interesting. Who doesn't want to build the best character that they can? Moreover, some of the DMs I've played with are ruthless power gamers and they aren't given the tag. Not that I'm complaining, as those DMs always have good challenges for us and, as they say ...

    Taking the average instead of rolling many dice

    I've been taking average dice for my epic game for most of the NPCs and bad guys. While I do really enjoy 40d6 (Disintegrate, Sphere of Ultimate Destruction), it really slows things down. I love fast paced combats and it seems to work. However, I don't mind the PCs rolling all the dice they...

    Elite 3.5 FRCS Game in Sacramento

    Yeah, about hijacking others' threads . . . TM, You are really the one to give a disertation on hijacking threads. You went into mine and used it to recruit for your own game. Very distasteful and discourteous to those who set up their own thread to recruit their own players. Please take me...

    Ultra High Level Time Stop Combos of Death!!!

    Jester - Yes SoUD are nice, but you only get 2 attacks with one sphere per round (2 move actions) at the expense of all others. Could they be targeted against unattended items while Time Stop is in effect? Arbiter - Your comments regarding the sickness of these Time Stop Death Combos (TSDCs)...

    Is 4-6 player's a rule or a preference?

    Gaming with more than 6 people, in my experience, sometimes wastes a lot of time. People end up going all over the place and, if you don't have a strong party leader/interest to hold everyone together, everyone feels a bit slighted and doesn't get enough attention.

    Ultra High Level Time Stop Combos of Death!!!

    Ok, so I've been thinking this over for awhile . . . I should be able to use Time Stop plus additional spells to nerf the non-Time Stoppers, but I'm stuck on my best-to-date combo: Time Stop, fly above the bad guys, cast a prismatic sphere, followed by reverse gravity, then telelport far away...

    Nondetection / True Seeing /

    I'm pretty sure that Mind Blank will stop True Seeing. If you wanted to be tough, non-detection could give you a % chance to stop it.

    Shield Guardian Cohort - How do I make it CR 17?

    So, I've got a new wizard in our group and his player mentioned that he wants to construct a Shield Guardian. I was thinking about letting the Shield Guardain (MMI) be his cohort and I was wondering: 1) If the Cohort level for his PC was 17 (highest possible cohort level under Leadership...

    About Prismatic Wall and Prismatic Sphere

    Prismatic Wall does not protect against teleport or dim door. Those are both great for getting around it. Can you seriously not cast out of a Prismatic Sphere? That would definately cut down on the usefulness of that spell. Don't forget about the offensive capabilities of these spells in...

    Eldritch Blast and resistances

    I think just SR will apply to the blast, as well as the elemental resistances, per modification to the blast. -AoA

    DR as related to creature damage

    Cool. Thanks for the advice. By your logic, Jester, would a Warlock (who gains DR/Cold Iron) be able to penetrate DR/Cold Iron with his attacks? Thanks, AoA

    DR as related to creature damage

    Thanks to both of you. That's the way we were leaning and also the way we played it. Anyone out there got a different opinion, just for sake of the debate?

    DR as related to creature damage

    So, I the party fought a couple of Lavawights today (EHL monster) and I noticed that they have DR 10/-. What does this translate to in terms of what DR it can penetrate with its weapons? -AoA
