I agree with a few of the above posters. You don't need to use more powerful, or even different threats. Just have them use different tactics. If the enemy is spread out among the PCs, the area effect spells won't do much good. And at the level you're playing at, precision effect spells, like...

I agree with Prothall. Half the cost of a +X Sleight of Hand item, and then limit the bonus to disguising somatic components. Maybe cut the price a little more and say that the gloves' effect is an illusion, and See Invisibility and/or True Seeing also defeat it. That's probably worth another...

The ELH gives Spot and Listen DCs for defeating illusions, and the DC is 80, I believe (but that circumvents the need for a save). I'd be wary of giving them saves just for casually looking (Spot), but giving them a save based on a successful Search roll, or possibly give them an automatic save...

I like the deceptive magic idea. But how about this one: Obviously the bad guys haven't found the sword yet with the capabilities they have. But let's say you guys planted a fake sword that both looked like the Greyclaw, and had illusionary magic that detects like the Greyclaw? Then all you...

I just want to brag that I pulled 30 times from the Deck last week, and whenever I had the option of drawing more cards after one of my draws, I did so. I ended up way on top, going from 1st to 16th level, had a small keep, 5 4th level fighters, 2 major magic weapons, 2 medium wondrous items...

Looking at your 10 paragons, I can't help but think that they are all very lawful-oriented. Nothing wrong with being lawful, but adding a little chaos to the mix might liven things up. So here's my proposal: 10. The Hero. Paragon of those who change the world. Adventurers, emperors, freedom...

Gestalt characters are only worth about 2 or 3 LA (there is no published number). We're still waiting on the point-buy or stat generation method, and what other UA rules you might want to use.

silentspace hit that one on the head. I'm pretty sure TWF and Flurry works together with the special monk weapons, though. Do you have a FAQ entry or rule entry to support that?

I'm considering a melee enthusiast, Monk 11, Dervish 29 (possibly less, if some fun templates/races are available, I especially like the air elemental template from MotP). In a Dervish Dance, the attacks are going to be something like +66/66/66/66/66/61/61/56/56/51/51 from flurry of blows, two...

As far as deities' really dangerous attacks go, the worst I found was the Divine Blast SDA from a high-Cha deity. It ignores SR, DR, antimagic, has no save, and destroys walls of force and prismatic effects on the way to you (from 1 mile per divine rank away). It'll do enough damage to bust...

I'm quite a tool, I thought this was supposed to be players on both sides. Anyways, now that I've taken a good, hard look at demigods, I think I could lay a decent smacking on one with an epic character. =D Character creation guidelines would be terrific, but we should also decide on which UA...

Totally off-topic, but I understood that part of the movie completely differently. When Preston fought the other Cleric the first time, note that it took him only seconds to parry a quick strike and hit the other guy on the side of the head almost instantly (the same thing he did at the end)...

Psions seem to be better at blasting than either Wizards or Sorcerors, it's hard to argue otherwise. The versatility of Psions, however, is extremely limited compared to arcane spells. Wizards are a different enough that it's tough to compare them to Psions, but Sorcerors seem fair enough. They...

I know next to nothing about kendo, but I could see that style having positive and negative aspects for a proficient student. 1. You can't brace the blade with your thumb, but if you bend your wrist, you can brace the blade with your entire forearm (assuming the tsuba isn't too large, and you...

This seems like it could make your job as DM a lot easier, but it seriously nerfs the Deities. One thing that deities have on mortals is range... even the lowest ranked Demigod has all 5 senses extending a mile, and can use SDAs to make attacks from miles away with no penalty. About half of a...

I'd also give it a shot. I'll play one of the gods, but as Tyreus and SerpentEye said, hopefully higher than level 20 (or with the 20 outsider HD and then 20 levels).

Very cool traps. I don't really use many traps in high level play, but this inspires me to use more. I've also found burrowing power to be more useful than at first glance. My current character in a high level game is a Kineticis/Psion Uncarnate, so I get incorporeality. Combo is as follows...

Tyreus has one, but he's not responding. Wrahn and I make 2 at the moment.

It's still not entirely settled whether or not hit dice from class levels count for the Half-Celestial abilities. Most templates don't care what class levels you have, but Half-Celestial and Half-Fiend have text that ambiguously might supercede that rule. The MM's +4 is definitely adequate for...

His scout returning from Springwell, Axorius anxiously awaits the final battle. The Skylance [Axorius's flying galley, see the description on the Rogue's gallery thread if you haven't, it has a permanent fog cloud so it looks like a small, oblong white cloud] arrives at low altitude camouflaged...
