But if he had a Staff of Gate it would be cheaper even. 364,750 gp for a fully charged one - 109,425 if it only has 15 shots left. That's a whole different problem. An Efreet can be bound with Planar Binding and be forced to give you three wishes. Since an Efreet does not pay the XP cost for...

Someone could put it up in tabular form for you: Level (or CR) - Effective Power Level: 1 - 1 2 - 2 3 - 2.83 4 - 4 5 - 5.66 6 - 8 7 - 11.31 8 - 16 9 - 22.63 10 - 32 11 - 45.25 12 - 64 13 - 90.51 14 - 128 15 - 181.02 16 - 256 17 - 362.04 18 - 512 19 - 724.08 20 - 1024 This can also be looked...

I like to use slightly simplified real world language for my games. That means no Common Tongue and creatures might speak a variety of Altaic Languages - from Turkmen to Kirghiz. And then people who speak any Altaic Language could get by with vague concepts such as food and money. And so on...

Also the "sacred = good, desecrated = evil" postulate. That works great in monotheism - but when your official cosmology is that there are an equal number of Good and Evil gods - that's only true half the time. Half of the Sacred things in the D&D world are supposed to be Sacred to Evil. Not...

My system? It's in the DMG. And a Warrior 2 / Wizard 2 adds up to the same as a Warrior 4. The only time a multiclassed character is ever considered more powerful is a very small blip at 3rd level - which I think is an aberation of the discontinuity of the first level/second level disjunction...

I'd invest in unarmed combat feats. Then when I hit 9th level I would fight exclusively by Scrying on my opposition, Polymorphing into a badass, and then teleporting in and eating them. A BAB of +4 - but when you have a strength of 27 and three attacks - who cares? -Frank

I would point out, however, that a safe just isn't "safe" from an 8th level Rogue. And no amount of Protective Magic makes things particularly "safe" from an 8th level Rogue either. The supposed cost of even a Firetrap (which is at best a nuisance to an 8th level Rogue) is 305 gold pieces...

Um... what? No. By that logic - which is in fact the encounter creation logic from the DMG - a Wizard 1/ Warrior 1 is the equivalent of half a Warrior 4. The concept is that every +2 levels is the equal of x2 power (except for the jump between 1st and 2nd, which is only +1 level but is also a...

I can only infer a little bit of Italian from my extremely limited knowledge of Latin or Spanish. Thus, I couldn't be expected to be able to understand a post in Italian at all. Nevertheless - I say go for it. Compared to all the stuff on these forums I never read because I don't care, a couple...

The Craft Wand feat, page 92. Of course, since a Staff can look like anything and costs exactly the same amount as a Wand would if it could be of higher than 4th level.... you actually can have a Wand of Teleport. It just requires the Craft Staff feat to make. The item creation rules are 10...

No. He did that kind of crap to the game - to the whole hobby in fact. Read some old Dragons - and the bile he spewed in them. About how people who played other game systems were stealing from him and similar rantings. Gygax's treachery and paranoia caused heavy divisions in the gaming...

No. There used to be some tables about what happened when you put two extradimensional things into one another. It usually exploded things. This was bad, because what was and was not an extradimensional space was not defined. -Frank

Then you haven't been paying attention. When Gygax finally left TSR the announcement was met with cheers at gaming conventions around the country. -Frank

On the Mehta: First of all, this seems to be a handy way to create magic bows with nasty abilities and no enhancement bonuses. Not a huge deal for the character in question - but if any of the other characters in the party are also Archers it could lead to some hilarity. Secondly, this seems...

The problem is not that the XP cost isn't enough - it's not always even a cost. Certainly it's not a consistent cost. When a character accumulates XP until he's 11th level, he's an 11th level character. And that means he's getting XP at the reduced rate of an 11th level character. If you spend...

And this evolved from the piercer. -Frank

Now adays, the only bad thing is those described in the items themselves. That means if you put a portable hole in a bag of holding - bad. If you put a bag of holding into a portable hole - bad. But you can but a bag of holding into another bag of holding and the worst that will happen is that...

That makes it about 300 times as large. Which sounds big until you realize - that makes the Great Wyrm's horde about 2 inches deep. And he still doesn't have a resting place for his wings. -Frank

Shadowjump is a standard action - so no. -Frank

There should be another option. The rules for making magic items are broken. If people have enough gold, they can spend all of their XP on making magic items. Two Hundred and Fifty Thousand GP "worth" of Magic Items is worth far more than the abilities you get from taking the 11th level of any...
