    Psion vs. magic and Enhance Spell (Epic Feat)

    Maybe doing some of these things I have been saying makes the Psion and the wizard mechanically the same but I think the main differences between the two are more flavor oriented than rules-oriented anyway.

    Psion vs. magic and Enhance Spell (Epic Feat)

    I do not think that you can actually LOWER the spell level of a spell, arcane thesis only applies to ONE SPELL and it does not stack. So, at most you could apply ANY metamagic feat, besides Heighten spell, for NO cost if you have the right amount of improved metamagic feat (you could never get...

    Psion vs. magic and Enhance Spell (Epic Feat)

    I TOTALLY forgot about the psionic focus requirement when using metapsionic feats. This makes a huge difference, thank youfor reminding me.

    New to D&D

    Personally, and I think this isnt the case for everyone (if your someone who doesnt like getting told by someone else, also if you really enjoy the character development aspect of D&D above many other aspects, then what I am saying may apply to you), I wouldnt ask for help with character builds...

    Psion vs. magic and Enhance Spell (Epic Feat)

    Thank you for the response, I love your username as well I am a graduate student in philosophy at San Francisco State university. First, I am not really concerned with the extra action that metamagic feats add on to spontaneous casting (rapid metamagic feat is a fix for that). Second I am...

    Psion vs. magic and Enhance Spell (Epic Feat)

    Yeah this is a major issue (at least at higher levels), and in effect it is solved by the spells a regular spellcaster has access too. ALL spells I know of that deal instant damage cap out around 20dX to 25dX without enhance spell you cannot really get a spell to do more than 40d6 (disintegrate...

    New Warlock Invocations

    Here is a bulked up version of Samloyal's invocation "Feed of Life." Devour Life (Dark Invocation) Equivalent Level: 9th Description: This invocation lasts 24 (however the advantages of the invocation may go inert if special conditions attain, see below). If a creature dies within 5ft of your...

    Psion vs. magic and Enhance Spell (Epic Feat)

    Nice, I looked it up... but it seems they still cap you by letting you only increase your CL by 3.

    Psion vs. magic and Enhance Spell (Epic Feat)

    As most familiar with psionic characters know one of the biggest mechanical differences between psion casting and wizard/sorc/druid/etc. casting is that psions can manifest powers at a higher Caster Level than the power originally allows if they increase the amount of power points spent to...

    Automatic Metamagic (Divine Ability) Clause Confusion

    That must be it!! All epic feats have a level requirement of 21, so ANY epic metamagic feat will have such a requirement. Thank you

    New Warlock Invocations

    Feed Upon DeathLeast Invocation Equivalent Level: 2nd If someone dies within 5 feet of you gain 1d8 temporary hit points and do not require food, water, or sleep for 24 hours. I disagree, this invocation could be made much better, as is its underpowered but increase the Temp HP, get an increase...

    Automatic Metamagic (Divine Ability) Clause Confusion

    Thanks again. Yeah actually I know that Enhance spell doesnt raise a effective spells level. But, it is similar enough TO Heighten spell that it shouldnt be allowed to be used with this (the reason why we cant use Heighten spell is, presumably, because it would let us increase the DC of spells...

    Automatic Metamagic (Divine Ability) Clause Confusion

    Thanks for the quick response. How do you this ability works with Enhance spell? I am thinking that Enhance spell is similar enough to Heighten spell and that it cannot be selected with this feat. Also I am still having trouble trying to figure out why intensify spell has a level requirement of...

    Automatic Metamagic (Divine Ability) Clause Confusion

    Hi all heres another stupid question. What does this mean exaclty:"Any metamagic feat selected cannot have a level requirement of 21st or higher." I dont quite understand how to determine what metamagic feats have a level requirement higher than 21 and which do not. Heres the full text of the...

    Monk Upgrade

    I am sure that every DM and their mothers have a variant monk they use. My question is this: do you think this Monk variant is good, unbalanced? (nothing fancy, no new mechanics, one new ability, and mainly an improvement on what is there that is simple to remember and implement). Monk (same...

    Deities and DemiGods: Divine Salient Abilities

    Is this a good divine salient ability: Divine Spellcaster: Choose a spellcasting class that matches the spellcasting class you selected for practiced spellcasting feat. You must have at least 20 lv. in the chosen spellcasting class. Your Caster Level is now equal to your HD in that spellcasting...

    IS this a viable and balanced Level 9 spell

    I have an idea: make the spell more dynamic. You can choose at time of preparation (if wiz.) or casting (if Sor.) whether you want the spell to allow for save, SR, or touch, So, you can deliver it as a touch with no save or SR,or cast it to allow SR but no save and no touch, or you could cast it...

    IS this a viable and balanced Level 9 spell

    Thank you for the responses everyone. I know that this spell is relatively balanced if you do not consider epic levels. My main concern is in epic play. It seems that saves in general increase quicker than DC,which is probably intended (not considering the potential boosts epic spells can give...

    IS this a viable and balanced Level 9 spell

    What if we added a touch attack requirement (or SR or both)? I forgot about the touch initially this was what I had in mind. Also the undead clause is not really what I had i mind it just goes with the light spell flavor. What about this: Just an attack to one creature with no save and SR...
