    ELH from buy.com

    Ordered mine the 22nd, haven't seen anything happen with it yet other than the "gone to warehouse" and "on order" status.

    Two hander style gets the axe shaft!

    Re: Re: Two hander style gets the axe shaft! That feat shouldn't be epic...:D

    Favorite FR deity?

    I'm going to say Finder, based on one of the old harper books I read a while ago. I still find it funny he had all of *2* clerics who served him, and he had to explain this to one of them....

    Basic Pantheon Makeup suggestions?

    Greetings! As someone who designed a campaign world using a small number of Gods, I can relate what I did. I kept the number of gods small. Six gods, each fairly powerful, and balanced along alignment. I gave each 4 domains, and tried to overlap as little as possible. In the PHB, there are...

    Holy Avenger and SR radius

    I agree with Artoomis on this one. Since using the grid often has these difficulties, you have to be clear. I ran into a similar problem when designing a spell that would hit everything within a radius of the caster, by the rules you are supposed to pick an intersection, but that throws the...

    New Core Class: The Priest

    Maybe this is better called a "cleric variant"? Or a replacement? I'd say give the class an extra domain or nifty power if you take away the good fort save. Later!

    Here's a good Toughness House Rule!

    Like many others, I use the simple house rule that toughness grants +1 HP per level. We played it in a game and there weren't any problems with it. Naturally you could only take it once (like most feats), and we weren't playing with all the other toughness variants... Later!

    The ELH fire sale is over ...

    If you look around buy.com, you will find a page where it says they actually "misprice" some items on purpose as a promotional. So the company does this on purpose....

    Enervation and Energy Drain

    Re: Re: Enervation and Energy Drain This is incorrect. First of all, energy drain works just like enervation, there is no save against losing negative levels when a character is struck by the spell. Second, the fortitude save is explained in the description: negative levels must be...

    Intensify Spell is an Epic WASTE!!!!

    Not specifically, but, in general, it says you can stack multiple metamagic feats. There aren't any real problems with applying the same one multiple times if one is willing to use the higher spell slots. In addition, the game designers have been asked to clarify the issue and they said it was...

    5 New Classes...

    I'll try to give it a look tonight if I have time. Been busy working and all that... Later! I'll post things I find here as I find them... Apokryfistis Adventures says "...other menaces may or may concern them overmuch." should say (?) "other menaces may or may not concern them overmuch."...

    Gate spells and PC's

    Well, the wizard was 19th level, cast the spell himself, and it was disrupted by a "custom counterspell". The event I described served as the basis for a year-long game that recently ended (at its conclusion). The party witnessed a battle they would end up recalling several times over the...

    Gate spells and PC's

    I did something similar to start a campaign. A 19th level wizard was in a battle, decided he needed to "call in a favor" and attempted to Gate in a celestial being. Unfortunately, his spell was "disrupted" (no official rules here) by a spell specifically designed to "randomize" a gate, and he...

    Gate vs. Monster Summon IX

    Well, when you look at them like that.... Here's the big difference between SM IX and Gate (IMO). Gate is a "calling" spell. This means whatever you call actually shows up, fights, and remembers who/what summoned it. If a gated creature dies, then it is dead (unlike SM IX). So imagine being...

    Ring of the Guarded Arcanist

    Heh, since this is essentially "buying" the lich template... It also costs one his soul, and must constantly worry about the phylactery's safety. In other words, the cost is the gold + soul + mortal life (converted to undeath). Also, the act of becoming a lich is "unspeakably evil." So...

    Invulnerability in armor useless?

    Looks pretty useless to me. Adventurers wearing armor that is +1 and invulnerable will most likely be fighting creatures that have DR of at least +1 (and thereby bypassing invulnerability). I can offer you 2 suggestions: 1) Ask the DM to make it 5/-. Protects against all those pesky...

    5 New Classes...

    I've only read over the Apokryfistis, but it is very good. Very well written, but it seems a little overpowered to me. I think the dispel ability puts it over the top, but a very good class! Oh, and one comment on your "tables" for BAB/Saves/Abilities. You can use a table in word documents...

    What world should I run? Hunt, K of K or SL?

    I was in a game for most of a year that really didn't do a good job of giving the world a sense of "setting". I knew about 3 towns/cities, one evil organization, and only about 6 of the ~20 gods of the world. The game wasn't going so great toward the end of that year. The next year I took...
