    What do you want to see in the fourth Adventure Path?

    Personally my preference would be for a AP based on Iggwilv and the Demonicon (especially if Grazzt is somewhat tied into the current AP). Perhaps base some of the adventures in the Lost Caverns of Tsojancth and the various demiplanes tied into that module. I'd probably bring Drelzna back from...

    Jubilex weaker than a Balor?

    I think part of the goal is to have Juiblex and some of the other demons be bindable with the aid of a Gate Spell. Sure the Balor is nice but think of how jealous the other conjurers will be when you use Juiblex as engine of destruction. I'm not saying I would personally use Juiblex as written...

    Age of Worms - Greyhawk or FR better?

    Factor in the power level of the Greater and Lesser Boneheart, various demons that managed to withstand Canon Hazen using the Crook of Rao, and the possible aid and assistance of Zuggtomy (assuming she still lives in your GH), Iggwilv and Graz'zt I think it's pretty safe to assume that Kyuss is...

    AD&D1 "CRs" for AD&D1 demons and devils

    I think in terms of play time required to acchieve specific levels a level 14 character in 1e would definitely be in excess of 20th level even though they wouldn't have access to higher level spells. Remember that after Lord level was acchieve (roughly 9th for most classes) the amount of XP...

    Demon Lords and Princes: How *Bad* Should They Be?

    Personally I see the heavy duty named princes and lords as the equivalent of a fully advanced Balor + special abilities for flavor. In thier home plane they likely have additional powers that make them the equivalent of some demigods (Divine Ranking 1-5). However they lack that power outside of...

    Eighth Level Druid Spells, Greatest Hits

    Phantom Wolf, Storm of Elemental Fury, and Stormrage are from Complete Divine and are all pretty decent 8th level spells.

    Barbarian - likes and dislikes?

    That they don't hate magic users like thier 1e incarnation ;) Honestly though I think my major problem is that until some of the new fighter feats in PHB II showed up they upstaged the fighter in many ways. I can see them being tougher in melee due to rage and thier normal weapon load but...

    Giants: How big should they be in an a Fantasy RPG?

    If you want versimilitude the heights at current are just fine. Keep in mind that say doubling height mean a much more than a doubling of weight. For example the frost giant is probably the closest in physical proportions to a healthy human. Let's say a healthy 6' male human averages 200 lbs. A...

    Feat Problems With PHB II

    I concur that comparing this specific combo to an older Epic feat is not neccesarily a bad thing. Plenty of other "epic" feats have been brought into the core in 3.5 through various supplements. The idea of bringing something resembling that feat combo isn't a bad thing. If I have any problems...

    Newb Cleric Seeks Feat Help!

    Since you have such a high base Charisma and consequently a load of turn attempts each day I would suggest going with Sacred Healing or Sacred Purification from PHB II. Sacred Radiance effectively mimics Augment Healing but also augments you healing checks if you use a turning attempt. Sacred...

    Dragons and associated levels

    I think the problem with giving class levels to Dragons is that for the most part it's a better advantage for the dragon to advance his age category rather than take a regular class level. Some of the Dragon PrCs from Draconomicon reduce the disadvantage but in general unless it's for fluff...

    PHB2 Making Epic Rules Irrelevant?

    ELH is severely flawed. I think basically all that's still redeemable at this point are some of the monsters and the magic items. I still think the basic assumption is that the average campaign will be retired prior at or prior to 20th level and that epic material is just not an effective use...

    Persistent Spell [CA]

    Crap I hate having a defective memory, I guess I should've said something like a maximized flame strike instead :)

    Persistent Spell [CA]

    This was my fix, it gives mid-high level clerics something to look forward to with thier turn attempts and it prevents rampant abuse of DMM combos. In my mind being able to pop off a maximized heal without preparing a 9th level slot ahead of time is pretty nice.

    what do you call the son of a duke?

    Personally when I design a campaign world that uses western nobility I try to go with a more simplistic version of the peerage system that gets rid of some of the less useful intermediate titles. Thus a sample system would be as follows King Crown Prince (Direct named heir to the crown) Duke...

    The Mésalliance. Part 2. (Updated 11/28)

    Indeed that's a pretty liberal reading of Mindblank but as to distance it seems that Kostotchie's area of effect is limited by sight. Whether that is somewhat limited like a dragon or the tarrasque's frightful presence would need clarification. Personally a range of 300 ft is likely adequate...

    The Mésalliance. Part 2. (Updated 11/28)

    Hrmm I had forgotten about Kostotchie's Terrifying Rage which given his hefty Intimidate score pretty much makes him somewhat likely to send the Horror and possibly Ortwin and Mostin packing unless they are immune to fear from some buffing spells as thier will saves are nowhere near adequate to...

    The Mésalliance. Part 2. (Updated 11/28)

    While I would say the Horror probably has the ability to win vs Kostotchie and Wyrms I would by no means think it's a certain deal. The horror's critical weakness is that it's got relatively crappy hitpoints and Kostotchie not to mention abyssal wyrms are close combat monstrosities that really...

    The Mésalliance. Part 2. (Updated 11/28)

    Interesting update I guess that with Nwm's new understanding he'll become more of a factor in the coming storyline as his duties to the Green now extend further outward. I also wonder if other forces are going to act to counter the rapidly escalating imbalance of power that this crusade is...

    What D&D character are you?

    Lawful Good Elf Fighter Close call on being a Halfling and being a ranger. Overall it seems fairly accurate.
