    Good vs Evil: D&D Wargaming

    "Not by a long ways. I have yet to find precise enemy locations, but I am rallying at Lowgate, an attack there is imminent."

    D&D Wargaming: Good OOC

    There's no communication between them and us since they teleported away, so I won't know they plan on shooting the fireball. But They should reach the room before I do, so I'll probably be entering just after they launch the fireball. If not, then they will most definitely see a room full of...

    D&D Wargaming: Good OOC

    I just counted the squares in the hoard room and there were more than 50 on the ground level, let alone 3 dimensional spaces in the air for the fairly small (actually, Small) flying archons. To fit the large dragon, I would imagine there would have to be at least 15 feet of headroom in the cave...

    D&D Wargaming: Good OOC

    The archons can't teleport people, only themselves and 50 pounds of objects. If they could do people, Axorius would be there like 3 rounds ago. If you're gonna stay and fight, the 50 archons will be there blasting away. I don't think there's much that can take 100d6+100 damage from touch...

    Thoughts on Prestige Classes and Feats

    I have to be honest and say that, when I'm a player, this frustrates me to no end. Every character concept could be mapped onto a PrC at some level between 6 and 10, if you (the DM) are willing to create a PrC with that focus, assuming one isn't already printed. In that circumstance, to give one...

    I'll confirm the Lantern Archon action for the next 2 rounds.

    D&D Wargaming *ARMIES OF GOOD*

    Bibliophile: Your army looks friggin' awesome... but I think you messed up the equipment in a few ways. For one, monsters only have the equipment that every member of the race has (like a Balor's vorpal sword), and you have to pay for the rest. So your couatl and Lupinals would have 5 levels of...

    Teleport and Initiative

    I'm obviously (to you, anyways) one of the players involved, but I'm fairly certain that the Teleportation occurs as the surprise round's partial action, and then everyone rolls initiative to see who gets to perform their first actual actions. I can't decide if the attackers are ready and the...

    Good vs Evil: D&D Wargaming

    He's got a rod of (greater?) quickening, that lets him apply the metamagic feat spontaneously to a spell 3/day without raising the spell's level. EDIT: re: Your rules question... when I said shoot the mirror, I meant with the Lantern Archons' rays. Not an arrow, but pretty similar damagewise...

    Mithril Armor and proficiency.

    I would say light, because armor proficiency isn't about learning how to use a specific form or armor, but about learning to maneuver in different broad classes of armor. Here's my reasoning: if a campaign suddenly had a new type of medium armor introduced, such as one from the Arms & Equipment...

    The Expanded Psionics Handbook Confirmed Information Thread

    Maybe he has a Psicrystal that gives him +3 Psicraft?

    To Psi or Not to Psi?

    If I had to guess as to what the soulknife looked like, it's going to be medium BAB, with medium sneak attack progression, maybe capping out at 7d6 or 8d6. It'll get the mindblade from the old PrC, and it's own power list, with assassinish skills. It'll prefer to use that mindblade, but it will...

    Good vs Evil: D&D Wargaming

    EDIT: Lots changed there. =] [ooc: I just looked at Clairvoyance and it's changed since 3.0, and the mirror's entry seems to not realize this. It has long range instead of unlimited range in 3.5; that seriously hampers Clairvoyance as a means of divination.] I want the Archons to all teleport...

    To Psi or Not to Psi?

    I used psionics a fair amount in my 3.0 game, and I can safely say that psions/psywars did not dominate any of it unfairly. A fully buffed Psychic Warrior is a thing to behold, but it's really quite impractical. For one, they will spend 1/2 to 3/4 of the combat moving around casting buff spells...

    Good vs Evil: D&D Wargaming

    I don't see any obvious flaws in the plan, but it doesn't account for the enemy's contingency plans. What if the dragon had, say, a ring of Spell Turning? What if it's not a dragon at all? [ooc: You've figured out your capabilities better than I have, so if you think it's a good risk, then do...

    When was the sword put out of use?

    As far as warfare goes, I believe that it was crossbows that started the move away from swords as primary weapons, and incidentally also when feudalism started to fall apart in Europe. When it took a large amount of training and money to be a decent fighter (training was expensive, as was armor...

    [PROPOSAL] The non-negative min-maxer: "Tweaker"

    That's unfair. Sure, a lot of slang gets passed around and mere inflection can turn a harmless word into something sinister. This example is a word that doesn't really have any meaning except for the "slang" version. The word isn't exactly a pejorative, but I think it's very insensitive to just...

    Good vs Evil: D&D Wargaming

    First of all, dragons who are that young can't usually cast scrying, especially as a druid does. Second, it's not out of the question for what you saw to be an illusion. Third, it's very possible that his cave already has significant protections, and there could be a number of other enemies...

    [PROPOSAL] The non-negative min-maxer: "Tweaker"

    I don't know if it's really well-known, but "tweaker" is already a term for a type of drug user, specifically someone who uses amphetamines. So calling a min-maxer a tweaker kind of associates them with something a little worse than making powerful characters...
