    Long-Term duration buffs for a high level cleric?

    Magic Circle vs Good is 10min/lev, and im sure a priest of that level will have 3rd level spells to spare. hedging out summoned creatures might come in useful and its not going to do any harm.

    What would you use a d4 and d12 for?

    Both have had far more use then the d30 and d100 i had. I like the d12, it reminds me of the 'dodo' space station in some versions of Elite. But alas i cant remember really using one, but might get the T-Shirt Your d12 Cries Itself to Sleep. : The Order of the Stick Store!

    Making a 5th level goblin respectably competent?

    Hmm, if protection from arrows is binding then you are a bit limited in your options. The first thing i thought of was dimensional hop (2nd level arcane spell)from SpC as that would be an ideal escape/avoid danger spell. If you want the gob to escape then you could have him stick around until he...

    The 3.X Martial Arcanist Database

    Thanks for that, had a look but i dont think it would work for my character. At present he is Pal 8, Sorc 1 (party needed tank rather then mage) and learning Dragon Devotee, at 15th level was thinking of taking another level of Sorc to get 2nd level spells but after that things are unclear. Was...

    A Thing I Don't Like About Adventure Paths

    Im playing through the Shackled City Adventure Path at the moment. Only halfway but there have been several BBEG's so far and several that we know of or suspect might appear in the future chapters.

    The 3.X Martial Arcanist Database

    Great thread, very useful for my Pal/Sorc I would like to mention two other PrC that can help the arcane caster. Dragon Devotee: Races of the dragon 5 levels which give the draconic template as well as: 2 caster levels of sorc No armour check casting 0 or 1st level spells 2 fighter feats or...

    PC Problem

    I think it is better to get this resolved now and explain the ground rules. It sounds like your friend is spoiling the spirit of the game and trying to take the limelight for themselves. As for bluffing and controlling PC's, i would stop that asap as this could really annoy the other players...

    Board Game Suggestions!

    I will also put my vote in for two of the games mentioned above. Battlestar is very good but can take a long time to play if you are unsure of the rules. Pandemic takes around an hour and is a nice co op game. I have played a friends version twice on easy and won but it was a close thing, the...

    DM Dilemma

    The reward system can work well, another option to bonus xp could be to give a roleplay point at the end of the session. This could either be used as a reroll or as a success if used before a roll. Effectively its a bribe to get them to roleplay but hopefully will allow you to have more fun. If...

    What do you call your company of adventurers?

    Nice poster, i like the disclaimer. In our Shackled City adventure we also had to get a group name to get the shop discount. After much debate we came up with Kessel Runners, probably not the most heroic of names but the Stormblades seem to get credit for all our victories anyway.

    Looking for character ideas

    You could try cleric 3, wizard 3, Mystic Theurge 1 This would give a lot of utility and options. Create scrolls for spells you dont plan to use during down time or be in a prime position to make wands. With mithril full plate armour you have a 25% spell failure but you could concentrate the...

    I may have written myself into a corner...

    Another idea would be a set of rings (one for each member) which can act as a mind link between them. As a hook later on if one of them got stolen by the big bad guy it could be used to send messages to scare them.

    Can anyone give me some rp advices???

    Or take it a step further and fake the elf's death then you could get the matrons gem without having to rely on the brother.

    a way to deal with lax players?

    Glad to hear that they had a brain burst. Just a thought but maybe dropping in a few wands with only a couple of charges could provoke their imagination. Have a few minions use them against the party for example: A kobold with a wand of colour spray Or have a caster cast pryrotechnics on a...

    OotS 667 up

    We already know that telesales people are hellspawn incarnate so it would make sense that the phone system in hell would be very advanced. Also imagine the waiting music for hell's customer services department <shudders>

    Use of Skills Question

    Bah I play the ranger, the drow is a rogue, if i remember correctly the acrobatics were not so much to avoid enemies but to get up to the statue which was on a higher level. I think the description was: Bounce off Paladin's shield, grab chandelier and then swing onto the statues head knocking it...

    4e Adventure Path NPC Names

    Don't blame me, if we had let him live he might have produced a documentary on pesky adventurers and how they are a bane on society.

    Running a dragon vs a high level party

    That was just what i was going to mention, only had one fight with a big dragon and he was played smartly. Was a long time ago but i remember it doing the following. Potion of human control was used on an npc, polymorthed a kobold to look like a dragon to take the initial spells. A couple of...

    mob = free magic items?

    You could always go for the retired adventurer... They have an intelligent magic sword that wants to explore but the adventure wants to settle down. The sword might agree to help the character that wants it but will not use its full power until the user proves themselves. Lots of potential for...
