I'd disagree. A single classed human at levels under 10 had in general terms single level advantage over a two-classed character, and a two level advantage over a triple-classed character. This definitely mattered in the first three levels. Multiclassed characters suffer from lack of hit points...

I'm not seeing how they are broken. If they are please show me. They are clearly as unnecessary as many other magical items that exist within the game. Should we remove all of the unnecessary items? How about some of the mundane ones?

Rude, snide remarks notwithstanding, was there some real point to your post?

Why? Why does it matter at all that a player had a certain idea about their character at level 1, and, after 4 years of gaming, they now have a different idea? Why does it matter, if the player is willing to sacrifice a not insubstantial amount of their own character's wealth to reach a stat...

When Invisible Blade first appeared I had a rival npc team trump the PCs with a knife-wielder. They were meant to be recurring foes. The knife-thrower got a single round to impress them, I was expecting to splatter the mage into unconsciousness: horrible attack rolls saved the wizard, the...

In hindsight, looking over the campaign, it is obvious why so many players chose to play elves; for us, though, it mattered not. The original premise for the campaign was for a band of elves, against the growing influence of demons and their lackeys. The rules of 1e, and even 2e, is sleighted...

W00t SHARK! Hows it hanging together? Wish I could join in. I ran a campaign from ca '90 to '98, with all sorts of changes to the Race limitations and multiclass restrictions. We were using variant rules from the original Unearthed Arcana, as well as house rules which allowed demihumans to...

Wands are spell trigger items. Speaking a word kind of hampers the silent. And you never know what kind of perversions you are going to get accused of pointing that wand from under a cloak.

Depends on the game, and the story. Artifacts and Epic level weaponry can make a first appearance in my games from around 8th level to 25th.

If Resist Elements is a second level spell, as it is for wizards and clerics, it is blatantly obvious that the Mass variant is far too low at 3rd. Even 4th, is still too low. I agree with Elder-Basilisk about this being a 5th level spell. In general, IMC, we have house-ruled the "Mass" spell...

I've banned the Orb spells, not for their power, but because they encroach on the thematic flavour of the school of Evocation. With their inclusion, no convoker is going to miss banning the school of evocation.

I suggested pricing. The motivation behind the prices I listed was due to the exhorbitant price, they are obviously not going to be available to characters for some time. Belt of Pixie/Kobold Strength (6): 1,000 gp Belt of Halfling Strength (8): 4,000 gp Belt of Human Strength (10): 9,000 gp...

I think you're over-analyzing this. Its not a problem, but an opportunity. For fun. For wonder. For good times. "Broken"? Nope. And who said I don't care about internal consistency? You really shouldn't worry so much. Are you saying all those issues couldn't be handled by putting together a...

Nah, it's perfectly feasible to patch together this kind of item. Let's assume that the game in question uses the standard Point Buy system. In order to avoid any kind of abuse, all you need to do is set the price at the maximum level. Therefore, the point buy version of a dump stat (8), and...

Exactly! Nothing in fly's description prevents the receiver from voluntarily plummating to the ground.

But I would agrue that the non-dismissable part of the spell description only pertains to the spell-caster. That the receiver of the spell elects by conscious thought, to "fly" or not, regardless of the wishes of the dweomercaster.

So you are suggesting that it would be impossible for someone under the influence of a fly spell, to choose to walk? That seems like a strange interpretation. But a definite consequence of your reading. I'm with FranktheDM on this one.

Wierd, but I'll try to humour you. Um, IMO, there is. We have the expected wealth by level guidelines, the ability for players to create their own magical items, and PCs are expected to purchase magical items. What exactly where you expecting?!? It is all going to vary according to player & DM...

I'd definitely allow it to force a flying creature to make an uncontrolled descent to the ground.

On a second note, when it comes to crafting items: I always enjoy crafting items, but I never take craft wand, the reason being, it is too expensive! You have to create a fully charged wand, and prior 10th level, the price is exhorbitive: it is just too great a portion of your wealth to justify...
