Fair enough. In which case your beliefs are not in any way implied in your arguments. Since female behaviour and motivations are so diverse, then it is not unfeasible that a female character may have a very similar personality to a man- ergo, there is no dichotomy in the roleplay. This...

Here we go again... Like fusangite and Teflon Billy, I fear that I am one of the veterans from the original cross-gender thread (hong was probably there too, but then hong gets everywhere :) ). Unlike fusangite and TB, however, I put the case for cross-gendering. The first notion is the idea...

Brief analysis of the spells: Blend into Shadows: Interesting and balanced- more powerful than Invisibility, though not as powerful as Improved Invisibility. Death Beam: Nasty but fine at 9th. Fire Dart: Reasonable enough. Scales quicker than Magic Missile, but needs a RTA and inflicts less...

The problem would be non-CL variable spells. For example, Persistent Shield- it doesn't matter what level it is cast at. Similarly, Maximised Time Stop (ouch...) and other such spells. How about 4xExtended Hold Person, or Confusion? Moreover, due to damage capping, eventually even...

Oi! T'at 'appens to be taken, and a very fine name it is too. Besides, A's rock.

Far from being too powerful, Underpowered Spellcaster and Minimised Spellcaster are too weak at 4th and 5th respectively. They are clearly inferior to Hold Monster at 5th, and bear in mind that Confusion is at 4th, affects more targets, with a nastier effect, lasts longer and does not have a...

I do indeed use them, and whilst they have not come up for PCs, they are very useful for determinig NPCs. You can't honestly tell me that *everyone* is your campaign world is aged between 16 and 34 ;) (or non-human equivalent).

'I wish to never suffer any penalties from aging'. In my mind, death is included as a 'penalty' :D .

I wish that people would stop going for the whole 'good looking but totally devoid of any redeeming features' against 'average looking but could persuade Asmodeus to become a charity worker' comparison. It is, quite plainly, facile. Of course there are situations whereby a more good-looking...

In my campaign, there is a separate 'Appearance' attribute which is rolled as such: 3d6 + Charisma Mod. This means that whilst you could have a very good looking person with Charisma 6 (max. App 16) or a very charismatic person that doesn't look so nice (Cha 18, App 7) but yet the trend is...

You just emasculated Feeblemind. If you compare it with Finger of Death, you see that both allow a save, but whilst Feeblemind reduces its opponents to a minimum 3 Int (hence making it only of limited use against e.g. barbarians, beasts and in fact most things will low Will saves), Finger of...

Assuming black is necromancy, then presumably many of the most powerful black wizards are liches (or vampires). How do they sacrifice Con?

You will definitely want something with a high Charisma- after all, you *do* intend to take Leadership at 6th level, don't you? To that end, bard, sorceror, paladin and cleric spring immediately to mind (in no particular order). The bard is usually weak in a party game, but that is normally...

Persistent Spell, of course, makes this one quite a bit nastier.

If you don't have Break Enchantment, your next best bet is Shrink Item. It reduces the statue to a manageable size so that you can take it back to town, unShrink it and have it restored to life (or, have it restored to life still shrunk should you prefer...)

Seems fine at 4th level. It is clearly not 5th level, as it is weaker than Slay Living (Slay Living kills immediately and inflicts damage on a succesful save), and is probably in line with Polymorph Other and Phantasmal Killer.

But what happens if you have a critical multiplier of greater than two? For example, the classic vampire monk/weapon master(unarmed) can use the Improved Multiplier feat for one of his critical hits. Would he inflict *six* negative levels?

Go Organic! The method which I use for my significant NPCs and require my PCs to use is the so-called Organic Method. It is 'standard', but often overlooked. Essentially, you roll 4d6 drop lowest IN ORDER. Afterwards, you get one reroll and one swap. There are many advantages. Firstly, it...

IQ, Int and Stupidity The stupidity, to put it bluntly, is to those people making the connection. Int is not equal to IQ/10 This cannot be emphasised enough. The simple fact is that even using the 'average' method (3d6), the chances of getting an 18 are 1 in 216. On the standard Mensa IQ...
