    BattleStar Galactica:Season 3.0--11/10/06--Arc 6

    I'm a pretty peaceful person, but I wouldn't hesitate committing genocide against the Cylons. Helo was a fool. The Cylons committed genocide against the humans first, and appear to want to continue to do so. Survival of the human race overrides any moral considerations, just as a Viper pilot...

    Spire of Long Shadows Spoilers - Tanglefoot+Silence and WoStone Beatdown

    Well, that adventure just sounds like no fun at all. And that's a problem. So the question becomes: how to salvage the situation and continue to have the most fun? You have a cleric in the party. Have him plane shift you all somewhere more interesting. Drag out the manual of the planes, or visit...

    Haste and recovery from multiple rounds of stunning

    I don't know if this has been asked before, but do spells such as haste help a character recover from effects that keep a character stunned for multiple rounds? So if a spell effect stuns a character for 10 rounds, and I'm hasted at the time, will I get better in 10 rounds or 5?

    Oooooh - A sorcerer with flavor

    I also would love to play this class. It would add a lot of flavor to the sorcerer - this is badly needed. There are just a few things I would change: Some cha-based skills should be part of the sorcerer spell list. Spellshaping should go -- too open to abuse. New spheres should be possible to...

    Starting PC Magic Items Question

    I am a player in bachrockr's campaign. Yes, it is true PCs get more magic itemsthan NPCs. If NPCs got more magic items, then the PCs would loot these from their bodies, and the ratio would be maintained. So far, what I've seen of magic items in the party seems to be about standard for 10th-11th...

    When Bad Luck Strikes... and Persists

    Generate a long sequence of random numbers from 1-20 in Excel or a similar package. Caluclate their average to make sure you arrive at 10.5. Instead of rolling dice, take your rolls in sequence from the chart. You have to verify this is Ok with your DM of course, but this makes sure your "luck"...

    Hide Life - where to hide it?

    A variant of the above idea: if you don't want to wait a few years for the kobold to grow up, buy a newborn lamb instead, and name it "Hastur, Hastur, Hastur".

    Good methods for denying dex bonus?

    Bluff does work, unfortunately it takes an action, for no extra net actions. Fighters unfortunately don't have bluff as a class skill either. There is a combat option in the Kingdom of Kalamar Players Guide called "unbalance". You take a full attack action to unbalance a foe, removing his dex...

    Good methods for denying dex bonus?

    I'm playing a fighter who recently took the Expert Tactician feat. Naturally, I'd like to get as much use out of it as possible. So the question is: for those of you who've taken this feat, or anyone with ideas on the matter, what is a good way of getting that extra partial action? I'm aware of...

    How would you custom order flavorful magic items?

    I have a 5th level fighter, on track for the Holy Liberator PrC. She just managed to secure a fabulous amount of wealth for her level (40K). This is a pretty hack-and-slash game, and the GM really doesnt care how we spend the loot. The obvious thing to do is spend it on the standard things...

    Need help creating an 8th level psionicist

    This is great advice, thank you. The Savant does seem like a good choice. A few feats have been mentioned -- trigger power, extend power. What other feats make good choices? And what about things like magic items? Would an item that raised Con work with animal affinity? What other items proove...

    Need help creating an 8th level psionicist

    I would play a sorcerer if I could, they are good at making things go boom, as you say :-) The GM has specifically asked me to play a psionicist though. Fortunately I won't have to play through the lower levels, I start right at 8th level. So are psionicists poor in the artillery role? If so I...

    Need help creating an 8th level psionicist

    Hi. I've been a longtime lurker on these boards, but now I find I could use some help. I've been invited to play an 8th level character in a new game. The character should be primarily a psionicist. The problem is, I've never played psions before and I have no idea what an effective pisonicist...
