i have never had any difficulty challenging the group even at high levels. one time, i held off a party of 5-6 18th level character with one properly optioned npc for something like 10 rounds. another time, i pitted a group of six 16th level characters against 120-ish npcs. they liked that one...

some good suggestions here. i think it would depend on the nature of the curse, and just how obnoxious it was intended to be. cursed items are not well covered or represented in d&d, with powerful effects being ridiculously low priced based on the idea that the market value for such a difficult...

i don't have much to add, but that sounds like a neat themed build. especially the conquering new domains of knowledge bit. (pun intended).

congrats! i've been gaming for nearly that long, but my oldest campaign (still ongoing) is about half that age. ^^ same set of players, though. =D i think you should update your sig to match?

don't forget to decorate tastefully with corpses.

Another advantage of the lego brick idea is that when you have lots (like me), it is fairly easy to represent ariel combat using some of the tall pieces to build a tower. since they are all to ratio with the minifigs, you can even judge height by the number of bricks used.

depends on their actions. the main campaign i run (ag16) goes from level 1 to 30 or so. no one has finished the campaign yet, but one group has made it further than any other.

for something a little different: take only one level of monk. take monastic training. take tashalatora. take the rest of your levels in a psionic class. if that class is soulknife (athas or eph) take flowing blade. find or make items of bloodwind and greater mighty wallop. just some thoughts.

i would suggest geas/quest as an appropriate replacement. make it a later ability or add special text to adjust the power as appropriate.

i have given serious consideration to using lego bricks and minifigs.

if you do decide to go thrallherd, avoid taking leadership, as the class nixes retroactively the leadership feat. thrallherds have their own built-in leadership class ability, which actually functions slightly more powerfully than the leadership feat. you may also be able to talk your dm into...

wow, i went in a very different direction with tharzidun... but then again, i was also using a variant greyhawk setting.

there is a feat in the phb2 that is calling your name. "telling blow". nice boost to both skirmish and sneak attack, if you score a crit.

that sounds like an excellent plan! some good ideas in your method as well. please let us know how it goes. =D

does the mount qualify to take the leap attack feat? otherwise one might be leaping from their mount... which is possible. you may wind up having to stand up on the back of your mount first, though. ride skill check at the least.

psionic fist can be used with unarmed strikes and natural weapons. note that when it says natural attacks, it does not specify melee, though some dms might shoot down non-melee uses of this feat with ranged natural weapons. psionic weapon can only be used with manufactured melee weapons...

technically, fuel is expended in both cases, only the fuel is magical rather than traditional.

recently, i've been ignoring the hp of monsters, which makes combat last as long as the plot or story accompanying the combat is still good.

excellent point, and definitely something that should be implemented.

umm, inherent ability to do so should be a non-issue. a certain high mucky-muck of the evil side was a celestial originally. quite a few were actually. (hence the pact primeval, etc....) and a certain fiery chap may just possibly be closet-evil to boot. so alignment changes have certainly been...
