[ooc: I imagine that you took it into account, but if I am being scried on at any point, I have pretty good SR in addition to my save (and probably conditional bonuses to that, also). Thanks for the info on supplies. I'll use mundane ones for the forseeable future.] Receiving the message from...

And don't mind covering your eyeballs in vaseline. That's just about the only spell component nastier than the one for Spider climb.... *grin*

I wonder if min-maxing and specialization are really the same thing. Focusing your abilities to be better than most of your peers seems to meet both definitions. At a certain point, enemies you face will have potent defenses against most things and it just takes a big stick to knock them down...

It never hurts to have more bodies on the battlefield. I say get a Brazier of Commanding Fire Elementals or a Stone of Controlling Earth Elementals. For a monk, I'd lean towards the Fire Elementals since they are much quicker and can more easily keep up with your high speed, plus they don't need...

"I have long known this day would come," said Axorius, speaking to the Seraphim of the Shining City. "Once more, evil comes to blanket the world in darkness, and once again, I will be proud to wield the sword that sunders that darkness. As soon as the Skylance [ooc: the name of the airship...

Are we to assume that we are the rulers of our individual realms (e.g. Kings), or that we are the generals of the armies (Generals), or are we simply links in the chain of command (Commanders)?

I'm wondering if anyone has looked through my army and sees anything that they see as a serious problem. If anything is that glaring, I'd like to correct it before we start the actual game. The thing that I am most concerned with is not having a versatile array of attacks - my main magical...

This question is pretty simple. If a character has a spell-like ability that allows it to use some spell, is that spell considered "on that character's list" for the purpose of spell completion and spell trigger items? For example, Pixies can cast Entangle once per day, but do they have the...

You missed the ability score bonuses. 1.2 CR for +12 total ability score modifiers (It looks like you used 25 point buy, but that's not how it works for creature entries. The rest of it looks by-the-book though. Not sure if Fieari will approve it, of course. =D

The Heavenly Host: 1x Leonal (Guardinal) "Axorius": CR 15 ==> 225 (above baseline) 3x Bralani (Eladrin): CR 8 = 64 x 3 ==> 192 (cascading support: 0 CR, 3 units) 50x Lantern Archons (Archons) CR 2.5 = 6.25 x 50 ==> 312.5 64x Human Ftr1 Infantry (level 1 PC gear) CR 1 = 1 ==> 64 28x Human...

I will be ready with statblocks really soon, I'd like to start if possible.

I think Fieari said that we could. I didn't want to, because I thought it would be abusing the CR system to pick traits that were always useful and leave out traits that weren't so much. It kind of goes against the spirit of the game, IMO. Plus, it would be easy to design something with...

Oh, and here is my list of what to look out for among baseline units. Higher CR ones are a threat, but there can't be nearly as many of them as of the baseline units. things to watch out for: Allip, Choker with at will magic, Ghoul, Hag (Sea Hag), Shadow, Wight, Wraith, Yeth Hound. Allips...

I'll chime in here, too. My fortress is a mobile one (stats coming when I make the post that has my army's stats in it), which I find to be both a huge strategic and tactical value. I can place my army anywhere in the world in a matter of days, while other armies have to cross difficult...

It looks like you made a few boo-boos to me. First, you didn't factor in ability scores, and you didn't factor in guardinal traits, or the DR. I also think you misapplied the Golden Rule, since you only halve the non-HD CR that is above the HD CR. But I didn't check your math, maybe you did...

Actually, it's a LN Ranger 3/Monk 4. =P

I like the Barbarian Horde more than the Academy, Jemal. But I'd recommend you restat whichever one you end up using to give some equipment to the grunts. You might get more raw power by increasing the numbers, but attrition will add up over a pretty short time. Plus equipment is just do juicy...

I'm writing up a different character now. He's a bounty hunter (assuming I'll be allowed to take the Justicar PrC next level) who uses a light weapon and a bare hand to fight.

Ancient temple of ineffable but forgotten evil-type situation. I was rolling up treasure for each encounter, when I got 70,000 cp for the Flesh Golem encounter. So I decided to have fun with it. In the big "congregation room" was a central circular area, depressed several steps from the...

Savage Species has templates for Mummies, Wights, Shadows, Wraiths, and Spectres. It's not core, but it's not third party, either.
