I never saw a problem with this spell. It caps out pretty early, and lets arcane casters have a cheap spell with some punch but it never really gets out of hand. Even maximized its only 25 pts of damage. So what if it never misses, not like they get that many of them and compared to what...

I was always fuzzy on why they made two things that do the same thing essentially? Fast healing and regen are silly. Regen converting damage to subdual is silly. Make a golem with regen and you have the same thing. Were they trying to say you werent doing any REAL damage when you cut off...

This is why I have always found charms to be useless. Not only does everyone around you see you try to cast the spell, but when it works it is too poorly defined for any practical use. Suggestions are pretty useless as well for the same reasons. Now Dominate, theres a spell...

Our campaign handles damage in this way. Until your HP have been dropped to below your CON, its all subdual damage. After that, the damage reflects actual damage to your body resulting in -2 to most checks and rolls, and a movement penalty. I like this system alot and it removes some of the...

Thanks Jester, thats the info I was looking for.

Is there a difference? If so what is it?

I would expect Epic to bypass all forms of DR. These are very powerful creatures, seems silly they would have their damage mitigated by say, a werewolf.

Damage reduction allows you monsters to penetrate others with similar types of DR. What about things like Elementals with the /- DR type? Can they penetrate all or no just the /- type of DR?

I would say horses and ogres could, because they are not literally 10 ft. wide creatures. Thats just how they get represented on a tactical map for ease of use. But both would definately be in the "squeezed" category and ripe for attacks by ambushers.

Suggested house rule for lack of sleep - One day without rest, fatigued - Second day without rest, exhausted - after you have been awake more days than you have CON bonus, you make a DC 18 Con check every hour or fall asleep against your will. Every day past this point you are denied sleep...

Ok one of my toons was surrounded by assasins, who were all subject to a holy word the next round which rendered them blind and deaf. I seem to recall reading somewhere that blind creatures do not threaten the areas around them and can't sneak attack or flank. Am I imagining this?

What happens if while under the effect of Timestop the caster walked thru a portal warded with a symbol and kept going to a room beyond it? Does the symbol activate and affect him?

What happens when someone throws a successful dispell on someone that paid XP to make things like Detect magic permanent on themselves? Is it gone for good or can it be reactivated later as a free action like say, angels when they have their stuff(True Seeing, See invis) dispelled?

Needs higher INT to cast wizard spells.

Can you shut off spells that you started by your will or do you need Dispel magic for it? If you can shut it off long does it take?

Does anyone else think it odd that creatures can swallow you while your still alive? I mean, who would do that and how silly is it to have 100hp left and still be hacking away at something on the inside. Even more rediculous is with successful grapple checks you can crawl out again without...

Anyone? Gonna start summoning stuff and I have a notorious monkey paw type DM so I was to make sure I have all my loose ends covered.

Ok you summon a creature using Greater Planar Binding, with the inverted circle to keep it trapped. Assuming it doesn't breakout, its stuck and you can start to coerce it. It mentions that you can, and probably should, use dimensional anchor on it so it doesnt teleport away or plane shift or...

Where is this Ritual of Vitality located? Seems pretty measley to get turned into half celestial for only 6kxp. Unless that was just trying to add the 4 levels you would normally lose. If that is the case I would have the XP req be equal to whatever it would take to get that character to...

Ok im looking for a pretty old thread, story of a high level party. Epic level I think, it would be about 6-8 months old. The grp was traveling to the abyss with some solars, the bad guys were demons and Fey type creatures. They get run out, some die and the rest make a narrow escape. Very...
