That's exactly what I did against the BBEG of BGII. He'd cast some mega-protection spell and I'd run away and just keep running until his spell ran out. The other side of the time wasting is just to say "OK, stop. I'd rather not spend half the session recalculating things. Either have them...

If you're the BBEG, you simply adjust your schedule and tactics accordingly. It's like Spy Sattelite scheduling and Camouflage. You hide the big guns and alien UFOs when you know the sattelite is passing overhead. So if you're the BBEG and you know that Bob and the Bunch are always scrying...

The easy answer is that their drunken pickup-truck drivers are messing with our drunken pickup-truck drivers. :] "Hey Clydezort, let's roll on over to Earth, abduct some yahoo from the middle of nowhere and shove a probe up his anus! That'll be a hoot!"

Why would they bother? What do we have to offer? Any resource that any advanced technical society might need, short of food stuffs, is available in space, asteroids and so forth on much easier terms that obviate the need for stealing them from habitable worlds. Slaves? If your tech is...

I agree that overpowering magic items at low level completely changes the game, but they can be fun if you really want to go the Monty Haul path. Heck, our (late 70's) high school games were seriousy MH. My Wizard got a Staff of the Magi at 4th level! Nowadays, the only way I'd ever give out...

My Story in all this; On December 10th, my 15 year old girl began vomiting. She couldn't keep anything down. On December 12th, I awoke to her howling like death. I came out to find my 4 month old kitten boy extremely lethargic, barely able to move. I was running late for work and only had...

Fixed that for you.

I like all the responses to far that make me glad that none of these people will probably ever end up on that side of a hostage situation. Knife to the throat of a hostage, what do you do? "I cast a spell" DUMB. Really dumb.

Sure, what else is Julius Carey doing these days? (He played Sho'Nuff, as well as Lord Bowler in The Adventures of Brisco County Jr.)

There are quite a few 'Personal' spells that may well benefit the PCs with UMD skills, and obviously, the spellcasters can't cast them on those people. If I was playing one of those PCs, I'd be either asking to get those scrolls out of the treasure, or to have them made for me by the Wizard...

I am at least commenting in a productive manner.

The first level spells in the PHB aren't all that great, I'll give you that. But after that, I have a serious hard time narrowing down what I want from all the choices. Add in the Spell Compendium and there are some really cool spells for Bards.

Remember that you're going to get two more 1st level spells, free, at 2nd level. I used to always take Magic Missile at 1st level, but now I don't think that the guaranteed hit pays for the minor damage. For me it's a "to be named later" spell. I'd rather use my crossbow. Heck, BAB 0 + Dex...

The most uncomfortable moment that I have had at a game table was when the 8-months pregnant wife of the GM put her character in harms way, refused to back off, then began threatening to make his life a living hell if he killed her character. He got very uncomfortable, there was a lot of...

VB, you're arguing with someone who doesn't care about reality. He has an idea in his head and he's insisting on being right, regardless of proof to the contrary.

For some reason, I really like that typo. That'd be a really interesting Druid spell. :lol:

Oh come on now. Dancing automatically summons Background Music. :lol:

Pomeroy's Powerful Podium A magic, self-mobile podium that aids Perform(Oratory) as well as providing the benefits of a tower shield. :p Svengali's Silver Tongue Artifact. Replaces the Bard's tongue as per the Vecna items.

Therein lies a false perception of the class. Sure, it's called "Bardic Music". But look at the seven different kinds of Perform. My Bard is an Orator. He doesn't "sing". He gives rousing speeches. He's not a "wandering minstrel", he's a Storyteller/Diplomat.

Bingo! Like others have said, clean your restroom often. Keep a can of very strong air freshener sitting in there for general use when needed. A can of Lysol wouldn't hurt either. So have I. For one I can remember way back in the day, it didn't help that the guy was surly and sometimes...
