... a wizard? :) Seriously, with those solid stats you might want to aim for Wiz/Ftr/Eldritch Knight. Swap Wis with Con, and you're golden!

Negative levels don't affect class level abilities. If they did, you wouldn't lose one spell per negative level; you'd recalculate your spells per day based on your lowered class level.

Resurrect one, then. :D Or maybe just speak with dead -- there's probably a pretty short list of people who know enough about the cauldron to want to steal it, and the previous owners might be able to fill you in. And if nothing else, those eeevil previous owners might have useful...

My character has the Head of Vecna.

"The soles of your slippers are starting to look a little worn out after weeks of tromping about over rough stones. You suspect that they weren't enchanted to resist the wear and tear of long-distance travel. Perhaps you should consider wearing boots most of the time, and save the slippers for...

I got to play a few rounds of the demo on Thursday. It felt like a cross between Dungeon! and Munchkin. The design is pretty clever, with the dungeon being laid out with randomly drawn tiles, a hand full of monsters to play on other characters, a deck of randomly drawn special abilities...

Split the group into two smaller groups that run on alternate weeks, while getting the whole group together regularly for non-gaming outings. Actually trying to run for nine players without experience (or oftentimes with experience) is a recipe for disaster.

Also, this looks like one of those arguments founded on mismatched expectations. In the 5-year game I played in until it ended earlier this year, the average combat lasted for 11 rounds, and 20+ round combats were not uncommon. Power Word Pain would have been amazingly useful in these long...

What, did Expeditious Retreat suddenly stop being a 1st-level spell? Anyway, it looks great in any battle against large numbers of opponents. If there are more enemies than you can attack at once anyway, just don't attack the one you cast Power Word Pain on. No wasted resources.

Yes, completely. But it's taken a few years to get to that point, and "trust" doesn't preclude "frustration". :D

Is this related to the vaunted dwarven immunity to enchantments and illusions? ;)

My illusionist is prepping for a battle with a dragon, and I've been going over my own spells with the same thoughts in mind. Aside from SR, though, I don't see dragon saves as too much of a problem; it's simply necessary to concentrate on its weak points. In this case, it's Ray spells...

So you're saying that because hurting and oppressing are just mentioned once, that they should be ignored completely? That hurting and oppressing are not, in fact, sufficient to make someone evil?

Yes. I ran an Exalted campaign for about a year, and kept a running Story Hour thread for the game up on RPGnet. After about fifty sessions, one of my players decided that I'd misrepresented something his character said or did in the story hour. So he quit the game and cut off all social...

Sure, as long as you don't mind the possibility that the answer you receive is a filthy lie. Does anyone actually use Contact Other Plane? Ever?

Luckily, I didn't lose electricity. One of my co-workers did, and she says she got electricity back last night, but that the block across the street was still out. What about you?

Whereabouts on LI?

Who uses ogre magi these days anyway? If I want a sorcerous ogre in 3e, I'll just take a regular ogre and give it sorcerer levels. :D

You do realize that the pro-psionic lobby is going to target [your favorite class] next, right? Looks like the plan is to gang up on one target at a time all the way down the line, regardless of its merits, in order to nuke every non-psionic class on the list. You're just giving them...

I would have preferred to eliminate the Psychic Warrior first, but it's clear that the PsyWar won't go until after the Psion does. So, to avoid splitting the vote, I'll do the same and cast this vote against the Psion.
