    Your Planescape experience

    I played PlaneScape in 2e pre-faction wars. If I were to run again and concinve the group to play I would probably have the setting be pre-FW, mainly out of familiarity. Maybe I would even run Faction Wars to update myself. I don't like some of the 3e adjustments like factions as PRC's. If...

    Get pedantic on Feeblemind

    I'll agree with this rule of thumb reasoning. I also agree with the poster (can't see who from this page) who questioned what difference does it make? If it's players who are afflicted, why punish them if Break Encheantment is all they have? If It's NPC's the DM can provide whatever resources...

    Mass Heal and spontaneous casting

    Hmmm, never noticed the number of targets limit on the mass cure spells. Note that the cleric suffers from full round action to apply metamagic to spontaniously cast spells, so no more than 5' step when you do so.

    Constructs With Special Materials

    I guess I hadn't given it much thought / didn't notice that. At least they wouldn't be any worse off than the Figher/Barb/Sor/Wiz. You might be able to build in item bonuses like +5 or +10 to spot. Or the alarm spell (I guess the arlarm spell would make the golem itself a mute point). At...

    Soft cover and Large Creatures vs Ranged attack

    Ut Oh, I might be in trouble. When I DM'ed I made the ruling that the archer selected a target square to determine line of site, In this case he would pick the lower left hand corner. The defending Oger would not be able to draw cover in that corner, or be in melee. The archer could attack...

    Best 1st level combat spell for 1st level caster?

    Second vote for Sleep. Aside from that Fist of stone is also noteworthy (and maybe a longbow that's wieldable at your new strength score). If you are playing a warmage, it also gets some burst spells, can't remember the levels though. The empower feat, or quickened empower (taken earlier than...

    Looking for a item that grants extra attacks...

    Also worth noting, both Divine power and Tensors Transformaion have effects that are based on character level, not caster level. Girallions blessing (Spell Compendium), or some polymorph effect to get an extra set of arms would be a possibility. I'd have to re-read them, but there is a decent...

    Constructs With Special Materials

    Your only limitation is your DM's willingness to calculate costs and mechanic benefits. I've always thought a 'Fine' iron golem would be cool for keeping watch at night with darkvision and no need for sleep. Or larger sizes designed to be a pack animal of sorts. The probelm for me is it's not...

    5 foot step trick

    Also you can take a 5' step before after or in between your attack action, so even if you forego your full attack to ready the action he'll still follow you (unless he already took his 5' to move up to you or get a better position.)

    Spire of Long Shadows Spoilers - Tanglefoot+Silence and WoStone Beatdown

    Lots of fun, not very effective. See discussion of silence on the tanglefoot bag. Bag destroyed the silence spell ends (RAW IMHO), Unless your DM rules otherwise. Add that to all arrows that hit the target are destroyed, half of those that miss are destroyed.

    Paladins - How to play/make them?

    ah, good point. Nevermind. and thanks for 'vigor' I couldn't get 'regeneration' out of my head and knew that wasn't right.

    Paladins - How to play/make them?

    I'll second kenobi's suggestion for stats. 8 or 10 on dex and int, 12-13 on wis and 14-16 on str and charisma. Depending on your point buy system or rolls. I hadn't played one yet (been waiting for a good roll, same with monk), but one thing I have seen with other players is.... It's...

    Paladins - How to play/make them?

    Well he only has one role, Fighter with some secondary healing. You won't make a party buffer with the limited selection and caster level halved. You can however wield a wand of cure light wounds (or better yet, that other spell that gives regen 1 for 11 rounds) 750 gp for each wand. The nice...

    Anyone Tried Using Teamwork Benefits? Couple Questions...

    You could instead demonstrate the power of Tymora and have them all take a level of cleric for her travel and luck domains!

    Anyone Tried Using Teamwork Benefits? Couple Questions...

    There is the friendly fire evasion, which would only grant a bonus to web and entangle cast by friendly casters. Even then the non-casters still need to put two skill points to earn one rank of spellcraft to gain the benefit. If I recall, you get one teamwork feat at 4th level, and a second at...

    Rod of Empower + Quicken

    So what would the cost be, Rod of Quicken + 1.5x Rod of Empower. Are you looking for them to both activate on one use, or are you just avoiding the move action to retrieve the next rod? I would guess the move action to retrieve would allow you to store the first one, but I could see some DM's...

    1001 Uses for an Immovable Rod

    "Actually, if you work it out properly (rounding for convienience), a DnD character falls 500ft in the first round then 1000 every round after that. (it actually calculates to 670 and 1276 or something like that)."Quoted from here (We calculated it once, but I didn't feel like doing it again)...

    Level 20 druid 10 Clearic

    I agree with Jack, though that assumes that you spend almost all your feats to take prestige classes and excel in caster level. If you did go that route, you could be a summoning specialist wizard with the variant from UA. All that aside, I'm a big fan of metamagic quicken rods. Thats before...

    Rogue's PHBII Alternate Ability, Disruptive Attack--Too Good?

    I thought it looked too good. Though we have a large group of.... well characters making attack rolls (some melee, some ranged, some spells). Since I'm primarily a fighter dabbling in rogue here and there, I'll probably have 4 levels of rogue around 14th level. In an iconic group of say...
