*casts ropetrick and hides until morning. Any particular reason why you specifically want to hose the party? It's pretty much a TPK if you want it to be. Unless they have specific countermeasures they've prepared for which may or may not be possible by 5th level, they are pretty much going to...

Kensei maybe? You can play any class you want and be 'devoted to your weapon'. In game though, the only thing that will make you -better- with your sword is class abiliities, magic, and feats. What's wrong with tempest? It's great for a 2-weapon wielder. If you don't like the flavor rename...

And here I was thinking that having drow archers up in the trees above 60' darkvision limiits was perfectly valid if not overused. Course, I always always always make sure to purchase things like scrolls of fog cloud, daylight, and obscuring mist JUST for occasions like this. Even a silent...

A bastard sword is a martial weapon if used 2 handed....so a monk with a 1 level dip into fighter wouldn't even need exotic weapon prof if they always used the weapon 2-handed....And why wouldnt they because they get x2 strength damage without yet another house rule. And they can still headbutt...

My first D&D game was when I was 13...I soaked up the rules like a sponge, but I also had little grasp on what good choices were. And it was a funny memory because I was ,for unremembered reasons, under the impression that D&D was 'satanic'. I asked the guys warily if it was 'safe to play'...

What if I craft all my wands to have a sharp point on them? or a thin piece of sharp metal along part of the length so that they are now 'dangerous' if I hit someone with them? I'd argue for the sake of sillyness like this that wands should just be included in the quickdraw feat. Afterall, in...

By the time my wizard could cast prismatic wall, his spellcraft bonus was in the 30s. Sucks for him if he didn't max his skill.

I would be leery of any broad availability of a monk to flurry with anything, however for the use of 1 specific weapon, I don't see a problem if they are willing to spend 2-3 feats for it. There was a similar thread someplace with a character who wanted to do this same thing as well as make...

It's kinda amazing how one might parallel their relationship with their gaming groups with their intimate relationships. They have a lot of similarities, and the main thing that breaks them both apart is lack of honest communication. You were definitely not too nice...I'm not sure there is...

I spent way too much... I clicked the 500-750 dollar poll button hastily, then I realized it was much much more. Just the 3 core books were about 120 bucks, and I bought them twice. Then there's the forgotten realms stuff, the modules, splatbooks, complete series, miscelaneous mixed d20...

I might recommend a little lower ECL for his group though. Since he said 4 of the 6 are relatively new to the game. My gaming group usually has 3 power-gamerish types (including myself) and 2-3 others who are much more casual and play more themed characters with less punch....ECLs of 3+ higher...

omfg, lol I almost fell out of my chair laughing so hard after the snatch arrows post. Wasn't expecting that!

Someone beat me to Amalthea from The last unicorn. Totally go with that name....TLU was like...the coolest cartoon ever when i was a kid. She was introduced as the Lady Amalthea in her human form....has a nice ring to it, considering the whole impression of majesty you get form unicorns...or...

Even if combat was already considered to have been started....you said your readied action was to shoot him when he -spotted- someone.....Hearing them isnt spotting them. If you had said 'attack if he appears to notice the party' then that would be different. But I agree that readying outside...

a -potion- IS an object....so touching the bottle should be just fine to identify it if hes using the identify spell. Also...potions are usually itty bitty things, while every monster summoning type items I've ever seen have been more like stoppered beakers, or flasks which are considerably...

Or it could be a prime example of how having expensive material components serves a purpose. IE...they are supposed to cost you something to use them. If you could spend 50g to cast free stoneskins every day who wouldnt buy it. It's supposed to be expensive to keep it balanced.

If a fighter was surrounded by a bunch of goblins, and the party wizard cast a fireball that killed all the goblins but not the fighter...would you then allow all the goblins to attack the fighter once before they died? Seems like what you're arguing for? How fast do spells happen? Can I...

There is another major discrepency with this spell. It is more effective for NPCs as opposed to PCs....Especially given that the typical BBEG type spellcaster has at least a few more HD than the PCs. That makes the grapple checks involved hard to beat even for the Raging half-orc barbarian...

There was a specific monk weapon someplace that I remember did this...but it was expensive, and had a bunch of other effects too. Don't remember where I saw it at. Slippery slope though...there are feats to use basically anything as a monk weapon. Not sure if it's balanced to have slashing or...

Well, as its written, it should be either banned or raised up to a 6th level spell. So I cringe at actually suggesting what I think is THE most busted 4th level core spell....Black tentacles. That said, if he has low HP, he should definitely take Dimension door, and always always ALWAYS keep...
