    Oots 447

    I think the interesting question is not whether or not this happens, but how he does it.

    Oots 447

    I think he'll avoid M's Disjunction. The gate is likely an artifact. Having a chance of losing all spellcasting ability is not cool. He is a sorceror, so he's got limited spells to work with. I'd be surprised if he has multiple AoE spells for each level. At least not multiples of the same save...

    The Golden Rule - Plutocracy

    Magocracy - Powerful wizards rule. Hereditary monarchy. Feudalism (knights, barons, etc.) Roman-style republic. Tribal systems. Right to rule decided by test of combat. Try looking to the animal kingdom to see how different social animals interact. Suggestions: lions, herd animals, gorillas.

    OotS #410

    I think I just failed a spot check. 'Uh, we're right here'. I think I failed a listen check too.

    Uh... he was carrying a huge freakin sheet of lead around.

    How do LG characters intimidate

    My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die. He probably wasn't lawful good, but that is something a lawful good character could say. The six-fingered man was an evil person, and had committed a crime. Granted, that's more of a demoralizing intimidate than a 'get information'...

    Making my game more "rogue friendly"

    Make sure to use some monsters that can see invisible creatures. That will stop the pesky wizards from infringing on a rogue's territory. Having intelligent monsters set up patrols that alert others to the presence of the pc's will make stealthy scouting invaluable. For example, if there is an...

    You Judge Miko (OOTS)

    For some reason, I always thought that if a paladin commits an act he knows is evil, he can't even atone, and if he commits an evil act, but doesn't know it's evil (a.k.a. miko) he falls but can atone. Anyone know where I got that idea?

    Low Level Bad Guy with a High Level Scroll

    I think you mean... tripe: something poor, worthless, or offensive not trope: a word or expression used in a figurative sense No arrogance intended.

    Order of the Stick #407!

    I'm really disappointed not to see belkar's face in this strip. Is he indignant or pleased?

    Wight out for REVENGE!

    Well... technically, I think negative energy is supposed to be intrinsically evil... not lawful though. But... off topic?

    Would You Use SRD Names For Custom Classes

    I'd basically go with the same. But for pure NPC-class goodness, I'd probably call the spellcaster class 'adept.'

    Wight out for REVENGE!

    Tasteless but funny.

    Wight out for REVENGE!

    This is a continuation of a thread in the rules section about whether or not a succubus controls the wights created by her energy drain. FrankTheDM brought up the idea of having a wight with class levels hunting down a succubus that was responsible for his death. Of course, alternatively, the...

    Treading water in combat

    As long as somatic components require only arms, I'd say it should require a DC 15 or so swimming check. Treading water with just your legs is doable, but not particularly easy.

    Arcane Disciple and Warmage

    When a class like the Warmage or Beguiler takes Arcane Disciple, they don't have to do anything else to be able to cast the new spells, right?

    Why doesn't "precision damage" affect Undead?

    This reminds me of some situations from Legend of the Five Rings. Basically, one kind of character, a Crab Bushi, or something, gets an ability to do extra damage to a tainted creature before it gets the ability to sense taint. In other words, a lower level Crab Bushi just senses taint by...

    I'm sick of saving the world. Let's conquer it.

    Wasn't there a 1e or 2e module called reverse dungeon?

    What's your Bad Guy race like?

    I prefer human cults that worship and follow demons/devils.
