    What's the duration on the rod of wonder?

    oh, crap, that rule, yeah, OK, you win. Creation of electricity. aaargh why all the conjuration love? I posit that the conjured electricity behaves exactly as electricity behaves in our world: it dissipates, grounds, whatever. Evoked electricity actually disappears. Therefore, Shilsen is silly.

    alienist/archmage extra summoning spell-like ability

    My munchkin sense is tingling: Can an alienist/archmage turn his Extra Summoning into a Spell-Like Ability?

    DM's: How many PC's do you kill per campaign?

    I answered 7-9, because my party is currently at 9, but they're just getting into 17th level, and have quite a ways to go. I am about 80% sure that there will be at least one more. Your poll needs more options.

    Who else dosn't like clerics?

    Tell that to the druid in my campaign who was forced into the role of healer. She hated it. Finally the monk got irretrievably killed :uhoh: and that player graciously generated a new cleric--as a favor--so that the druid could finally go back to being a druid. {which is its own problem}...

    Cleric in Shackled City

    I dunno, man, I would just stay away from PrCs if none particularly grabs you. I have a cleric of Boccob in Shackled City. I don't see any reason to screw him up with a PrC.

    Slaad Lords

    I kinda feel like the Manual of the Planes might have talked about them, but I haven't read that in years.

    Wish Spell usage

    I would allow it, but only as a raise dead. If you are killed with a death effect, or your body isn't all in one piece, then, sorry man, you are SOL.

    More Wish Spell Usage

    You're fine, just wish for it. If it's too powerful a wish, then your DM will just set your alignment to Good as one of those wish-side-effects.

    Defeating bad guy twice = double XP???

    When awarding XP for someone who escaped, or for a fight during which the PCs were routed, I usually drop relevant CRs by 1. If it's a fight where the PCs fled dragging one or more of their buddies' corpses with them, then I tend to drop CRs by 2. Or so. Really, I eyeball things a lot...

    Character development!

    That's pretty damn big for a spoon. Are you sure you're not a ladle?

    Slaad replacements

    I'm a big fan of the slaadi, so hmm. Advanced chaos beasts? Pseudonatural gibbering mouthers? Anarchic trolls?

    The Economics of Identify

    Well, it's a domain spell for them, so they can only cast it once per day...unless they put it in each of their third, fourth, fifth, etc. domain slots, too. In macroeconomical terms, this is one of the things written off in the "half-price sale" overhead. In microeconomical terms, the party...

    Evard's Black Tentacles

    yeah, I'm not happy with the FAQ-nerf. I like the spell to be insanely deadly to wizards. FWIW, I run the spell "pre-FAQ," that is: if you aren't grappled, then you have to keep rolling checks in the area of effect.

    Low Level Bad Guy with a High Level Scroll

    ...that doesn't work on corpses slain with death effects.

    multi-classing from day 1

    Good heavens, it's not hard. The 3.0 apprentice rules even said something to the effect that at second level there should be no difference between picking up, say, rogue 1 then wizard 1 and picking up rogue0/wizard0 then rogue1/wizard1. So build your character at second level (saving throws...

    Who needs the cleric class?

    I'm shocked at the lot of you that want to increase healing. I think healing is out of control in this game, which is why every party needs a damn cleric. I want to dump or seriously restrict healing, like maybe increase the level of all healing spells, and maybe shave off one spell per level...

    Which class is the most useless?

    I almost went ranger, since they're like the bard of the druid/fighter/rogue set. But instead I ultimately agree with Darklone: This game requires everyone (adventuring party, good guys, bad guys... everywhere) to have a cleric! Stupid! Think of how much better this game would be without...

    OotS 406

    Remember the good old days when OotS wasn't so damn wordy? When it was fun to read? :p OotS has jumped the shark, but it's on the Erfworld site, so, hey, I'll catch up once in a while. As far as Miko goes, yeah, there is absolutely no way that she is still a paladin. Regardless of any...
