DMM Persistent Magic does have a fatal flaw: against a group of enemy spellcasters, dispel magic is always going to be one of the first actions. Entering the Temple of Doom, I'd have a mind towards not relying heavily on buffs.

Perhaps. If all he asked for was an explanation of RAW. Except: The OP asked for "our thoughts", and "our feelings", not RAW. I shared my thoughts and feelings on this issue. He wondered if it would be wrong to tack on an alignment requirement. The answer can never be "yes" to that, period...

Specifically 3.5? I'm hard pressed, to be honest. I can't quite remember all the miniscule changes between 3.0, and 3.5, except those I didn't like. Looking at 3.5 specifically (as opposed to the generic 3.x or 3.0): The further improved Psionics for 3.5 was once again a step ahead, by far...

Let's be pretty clear on this one: thrall 8 dictionary results for: Thrall Dictionary.com Unabridged (v 1.1) thrall /θrɔl/ Pronunciation Key - Show Spelled Pronunciation[thrawl] Pronunciation Key - Show IPA Pronunciation, –noun 1. a person who is in bondage; slave. 2. a person who is...

I agree with the OP. IMC, subverting the will of individuals through various mind control techniques (magical, psionic, or otherwise) is non-good.

Not sure if you noticed, but the fee isn't to actually look at the spell book (comparisson: try armour out in the shop), but to copy propriety knowledge. Knowledge for wizards is a premium resource. Nothing prevents the wizard from purchasing more spells. So this comparison is completely...

Isn't it just easier to memorize? The scroll will get sundered along with your buckler... and then you'll fall.

Yep, its tough. Sort of like how its unfair the fighter has to spend all this gold just to cover his rear end in a fight: Armour should just be bestowed upon them. And what about weaponry? It just aint right that the fighter has to spend all this cash just to get a decent, level-useful item...

No, it doesn't. Or rather, it only seems to do so, when you want it to. What was the point you were making about this "SPR" in connection with the theurge-style PrC's?

Elminister/Mordenkainen Equivalent are personally involved. They just suck at what they are doing to save the planet (PR's a b*tch when it's been too good...), or aren't attempting the same "save" the PCs are. In fact, Mordenkainen is probably the schemer behind the original plan, and Elminster...

1. No, it's "saved". Its still there, needing saving again, from another threat. "Saving" is sort of subjective, rather than an objective measure. Someone's "saving" may mean another's destruction. 2. Elminister/Mordenkainen Equivalent are personally involved. They just suck at what they are...

Good calls!

20th level Cleric with the Strength Domain? 1/day Enhancement bonus to Strength for 1 round, equal to your cleric level. +20 to Strength is pretty good...

½-Orc / Werebear 11th level Barbarian in Hybrid Form? ECL 20 HD 11d12+6d8 LA +3 Str 18 + 2 (½-Orc) +16 (Werebear) +2 (Level) +6 Greater Rage = Str 44?

Bishop Odo. Is, I'm sure, a large part of what made Clerics what they are in DnD. He wielded a mace at the Battle of Hastings:

As a rogue, you may consider picking up the bow as well. It grants you the ability to actually apply sneak attack damage from the start of the battle, without running up to the enemy and getting yourself into trouble. In a few levels time, the mage can cast invisibility upon you, either of the...

No, SPR doesn't just look at slots. Using your SPR metric to compare these classes/PrC yields a lop-sided result. Precisely because 9 1st level spells are not equal even one very weak 9th level spell. Yet SPR says they are equal. That is precisely what SPR is measuring. Because these...

I'd favour a spellcasting ally: Telekinesis could surely Bullrush people into the pool of ichor/poison/blood/acid? Repulsion could hinder PC's from approaching...not sure what you would want to do with that, but I'm sure you could gain some advantage. Especially if invisible or ethereal (does...

Now Dannys almost got me wishing I was playing a bard myself!

I really dislike this SPR idea. Because it equates nine 1st level spells to one 9th level spell. Which is patently untrue. Regardless of whether certain 8th level spells are almost as powerful as certain 9th level spells. A twentieth level psion has 433 power points (assuming Int 28). He can...
