    FLGS in Boston?

    Gaming The Compleat Strategist 201 Commonwealth Ave. Relaxing (all bets off after 9:00) Certain taverns/restaurants around Fanuiel Hall are good. I recommend Clarke's.. voted "Best Nachos July 2005" during last bar crawl. (21 Merchant's Row) Jillians is good for pool tables. (145 Ipswitch)

    What are your party's combat tactics?

    The Warforged Psychic Warrior / Juggernaut (CR 9) typically uses Expansion, and on the next round charges the closest enemy. If he succeeds, he deals 7d6+10 damage, or more if he expends his focus. In subsequent rounds, he'll either break off to charge other creatures, or he'll remain to be a...

    Defend the Magebane enchantment

    "Against any creature with arcane spells currently prepared or spell slots available to cast arcane spells without preparation, or against creatures with the ability to use arcane spell-like abilities, a magebane weapon's effective enhancement level is 2 better than normal (so that a +1...

    Defend the Magebane enchantment

    A friend made a good note, according to the text, it only affects "arcane spell-likes." Per his interpretation, only warlocks technically have "arcane spell-likes," as this doesn't literally mean "a spell-like ability that is on the sor/wiz list." If Magebane literally means "This grants...

    Defend the Magebane enchantment

    Specifically, why it's a +1 and not say, a +2. +1d6 to casters and anything that has spell-likes? That's a whole lot of most aberrations, demons, devils, celestials, and things that have a CR above 6.

    The Scout Class: How is it in play?

    It's a fun class, it seems to really support teamwork. Having to move around to gain the benefit of it's skirmish ability means weaving paths around comrades at times, and the fact that it can find traps but can't actually do anything to disarm them means that it needs a little help from time...

    Rant - "Its Overpowered.. what shall we do?"

    Eh, in my eberron game our conjuror uses Evards, Stinking Cloud, Web, and Summon Undead regularly, often in conjunction. Then the warforged psiwarrior charges in, immune to the stinking cloud and typically Expansioned up to huge, swinging his 4d6+10 greatsword. It's a real hassle to require a...

    Your character does WHAT?!!!

    So, around level 12 or so, my halfling rogue is holding the party's Amulet of the Planes as he has the highest chance of using it properly, given his Intelligence 14 (this is, if i recall correctly, a 40% successful arrival rate). We misinterpretted the rules regarding plane shift at the time...

    Upside Down Goblet Try as you may, you cannot fill this goblet. Turning the Upside Down Goblet destroys it, and in its place is A Goblet. A Goblet You can fill this goblet.

    Escaping Carceri

    Neogi slavers come, find em- and they escape the spidership when it makes a deposit at some planar waystation? I'd rather have em escape from the plausible-to-escape fire, rather than the essentially impossible-to-escape frying pan.

    Psionic Mindflayer CR Question.

    handy this is here, as i'm prepping a mindflayer for potential combat. If i were to make the Psionic Mindflayer have an additional level of Psion (telepath), would it recieve a second layer of 1st level Psion (telepath) powers, or would it add these levels to its normal manifester level of 9?

    I need to destroy my own weapon...

    The "walls are closing and the only way to keep us from being killed/trapped inside this dungeon is my magic sword jamming the mechanism!" trick could work. If this weapon is of sentimental value to your character then its best to have some heroic and clearly sacrificial moment you can ham up a...

    Stunning Fist & Big Creatures?

    That lil halfling monk pulling off a miracle and stunning a Great Red Wyrm who botched his save would probably be one of those never forgotten moments in a gaming group's history. So... I'd probably give it a thumbs up for happening as a DM.

    Natural Attacks and Adamantine Body

    Couple quick Questions: 1) Are Warforged slam attacks modified by Mithril Skin or Adamantine Body? 2) Can a Warforged theoretically rip off a limb of its own, or use the limb of a fallen Warforged with Adamantine Body and use this as an improvised weapon, say a club, to bypass hardness /...

    Eberron Art Gallery

    Have to say that's some pretty stuff. I don't know if I could run a game in Eberron (don't have the book for starters), but as a previously ambivalent-yet-still-potential-customer, I gotta say there seems to be a lot of brain candy to be yoinked. I can see entire campaigns set in the "train...

    Scarred Lands: Ask the Sage [This keeps up, I'm gonna need a bigger notebook!]

    Perhaps this has been asked before- and please forward me if it has- but if you could list "The Five Essential Scarred Lands Purchases" what would they be? I recently got some free sample books (mithril and the Ghelspad Gaz) from WW with a recent purchase- and i'm getting interested, budget...
