Of course not. It would be a huge devilish bongo.

"Better Living Through Alchemy" "Quadruple Wielding: Cool, or AWESOME?" "There's More Than One Way: 101 Cat-Skinning Related Feats"

The fluff is what you make of it. I'm planning to make a warlord who is, in character, a loudmouthed buffoon, finding himself perpetually shown-up by the other PCs. You know, activate Feather Me Yon Oaf, and proclaim, "You idiots! That ogre would have been mine, if you hadn't had to go and...

Oh, I dunno, I imagine that the Ritual of Endless Night is going to take a lot of studying, and bargaining with devils, and trading with distant sages for translations of ancient languages. It's going to take a long time, and certainly someone is going to hear about it, and once word gets out...

As a DM, I hate being responsible for making sure that the players are keeping up with the Joneses. Many in my group feel the same one - for instance, there's one guy who loves giving out the oddball, bizarro special effect items (his Wand of Wonder chart is about six pages long) and he hates...

Agreed. When I first saw third edition, I was impressed and pleased with its sort of egalitarian spirit, with everybody being treated 'the same'. Over time, I came to realize that it just doesn't work out so well in practice - I don't want to spend 15 minutes picking spells and feats for...

Once, a DM let me have a tiny Gelatinous Cube as a familiar. Best. Campaign. Ever. Me: "Go for the feet, Wiggles, go for the feet!" BBEEG: "What in the - OH DEAR GOD IT'S CRAWLING UP MY PANTS, HELP HELP GET IT OFF OF ME!!!"

Your PCs are enslaving monsters or reanimating their corpses as servants, and so the rest of us can only fight boring monsters to avoid breaking your game. Right.

Sure, why not? I've heard that all kinds of crap is spilling out of the Far Realm these days.

Sounds plausible. If you're right, then I think it's rather revealing that it says "Recharge 4 5 6" rather than "Recharge 4". It would mean that higher isn't necessarily better - for instance, a monster could have one ability with 'Recharge 3 4', and another with 'Recharge 5 6', meaning that...

Straw Man argument, and the Pit Fiend has a 'Languages' block anyway. Looks like you can Fail twice as a standard action.

"Invigorate" might be a sufficiently broad term.

Irresistible Command only works on an allied devil. So now he'll need a Wand of Polymorph to go with it :p

Something I just thought of regarding 'speed of play': it's true that a save every round for the firetouched mace effect takes a die roll - but then, it does a fixed amount of damage, so you don't have to roll for damage. Combine that with the lack of a duration to keep track of, and I think...

To me, it seems kind of arbitrary, since it doesn't take your saving throw into account. For instance, the flametouched mace sets you on fire and causes you to burn every round, without ever having to 'get past' your saving throw score. But I guess you did have to fail an 'AC save' in the...

In 3E, if you are a 14th level Fighter and you take a level of Wizard, you can now do everything a 1st-level Wizard can do: a whole lot of things which are all useless. I'd love to see Class Training feats that instead give you just one or two abilities, but have them be equal in power to...

Well, he is a leader. Note that you don't get experience points for defeating the summoned minions - whatever a pack of its level 21/22 demons can do, that is assumed to be part of the power of the pit fiend itself.

If the damage types from DDM are an indicator, sonic might be getting merged into 'thunder', and I would posit that knockdowns might become a common side effect of 'thunder'.

I just want to let the record note that I knew this thread was going to follow some very weird paths before I even clicked on it for the first time.

I personally like the idea of having generic 'zones', where everybody within the zone is assumed to be able to reach other more or less conveniently, and distances inside the zone aren't measured/considered. Area-of-effect spells would affect everyone inside a single zone, or maybe touch all...
