    Newb Cleric Seeks Feat Help!

    Extend spell, Persistent spell, Divine Metamagic: Persistent spell, and Extra turning seem to be the default for a combat cleric. I wouldn't recommend Power Attack until higher levels, as you don't have the BAB to sink into it. Unless you're going for Divine Might with a high charisma. Then...

    Can you choose to stop your movement in mid-air?

    I would rule that you spend rest of your movement for that round falling, but I may have misunderstood. Let's say Bob the Jumper has a movement rate of 40 ft. He takes a standard action to attack the guy next to him, and has a movement action left. He then runs 10 ft, and jumps. According to...

    When was the last time mounts/mounted combat saw a use?

    I play a halfling paladin in our WLD campaign, so it gets used as much as it can. I do a *lot* of damage when charging, and a *small* amount when not. Of course, it helps to have an insta-replaceable mount, too.

    What happens when a psicrystal dies?

    That's actually what prompted the question! If I'm a 8th level Psychic warrior with Vigor, Expanded Knowledge:Share Pain, and Psicrystal Affinity, couldn't I, in theory, drop 11 pp and effectively block 80 hp's worth of damage? Or is there something I'm not seeing to this combo?

    Easy sorcerer spell knowledge house rule

    It sounds good. This would allow people to pick spells that get used alot, and need to get used now, and still be able to do more utility stuff if they need it. If this applies to sorcerers as well as wizards, then I don't think there will be too much of a problem. You might want to put in a...

    What happens when a psicrystal dies?

    Is there any effects for losing a psicrystal, such as the effects for losing a familiar? Also, if you lose your crystal through it's death, how do you rebind one? I couldn't find this in the srd or XPH, so any help would be appreciated.

    Calculating XP drives me crazy

    If you're worried about the double level, try this: If someone dies, they have an xp+ap "debt" of whatever level they were. They automatically lose the xp and ap until they fulfill it. Example: Joe's a 15th level fighter. He has 5 ap and 7500 xp. During the course of the game, he spends 2...

    Craft Undead as a Feat?

    RisnDevil has the right idea. I want something that'll allow a caster to create undead, through the expenditure of time, xp, and gold, just like, say, Scribe Scroll, or Craft Wand. This would be independant of any undead they control through spells or rebuke undead. I've seen some good things...

    Mel Gibson and the Crop Circles, what a crap!

    So, how does anyone know the aliens understood about the water? Isn't it just as possible the aliens didn't forsee the effect water would have on them? It's not like brutal theives and murderers are going to stop to check every element against their skin.

    Craft Undead as a Feat?

    A comment on the Witchfire thread got me thinking about creating undead through the expenditure of xp and gp, just like an item creation feat. Has anyone done any work on a feat like this? If not, what do you think a good baseline to start would be? Test feat 1 Create Basic Undead...

    I have the PHII...

    No, just brown. Brown skin, brown eyes, brown hair, brown clothes. It looks like someone just took a brown crayon and colored it in. Apparently, WotC is having five-year-olds color the art, nowadays. :p

    Ads that you like

    There's quite a few that sparked recurring one liners in our group. There's a Redstripe ad that has a Jamaican man standing next to an average looking man sitting at the bar. Jamaican: Redstripe! The bottle so ugly, it makes you look better in comparison! You sir! (To Average Man) Would you...

    I love the internet

    Why do I love the internet? Two reasons, mostly. 1. Easy access to information. Whether it's the aforementioned song lyrics, computer help, or just about anything I care to learn about, I can usually find what I need withing five minutes for common stuff, to an hour for esoteric or in depth...

    Shadow Conjuration - How Open?

    I would work it on a tier system. First, choose what sources for spells you will allow. For example, PHB, Magic of Faerun, and Champions of Ruin. Then, for each source, make a general assessment of how common those spells are. Continuing the example, PHB = every mage has heard of them, MoF =...

    Most ludicrous gaming rumors?

    That WotC is going to a yearly plan. As in, a new edition each year.

    What have you done to REALLY make your players hate an NPC?

    I had a gnome bard (the one in Sharn: CoT) write a play about the characters, spinning everything they did into a "comedic" piece. Then he dissed them in their own inn. And backed the fighter's opponent for a city council seat. Finally, he slipped, invisible, into the room of the little girl...

    It is October,let's talk about the supernatural.

    There's a thread somewhere around here, that has a long list of bad ones. If anyone remembers it, the black-eyed children were the scariest. Me? I don't get the scary ones. Or even the "message from the other side" ones. Nope. I get the stupid ones. The ones where the "darkness men were...
