    Baleful Polymorph + Dominate

    So... is this combination considered cheesy rules lawyery, or is it just a clever use of spells? (I'm asking, in particular, about using Baleful Polymorph to turn something with a high will save into a mouse, which has a horrible will save, then cast dominate/charm/suggestion/whatever on it...

    Greater Blink - ?

    Ahh, I think I get it now. All attacks and spells against you (that can't strike ethereal creatures) have a 50% miss chance. Your own spells and attacks have no miss chance. You can, if you wish, ready an action to go ethereal against an attack, making their miss chance 100%. Sounds about...

    Greater Blink - ?

    I don't think I understand this spell. Is the only way to "escape" an attack to ready an action to do so? How is this particularly good? Some examples would be handy too. Calypso

    A poison to supplement my Enchanter

    Are there any official books that have more poisons, or possibly the means of inventing your own poisons?

    A poison to supplement my Enchanter

    So, I'm making an evil-ish Mindbender, and I was thinking that taking the feat Poison Immunity would be cool. But I can't find any decent wisdom-damaging poisons. Is there another source for poisons, and do you guys have any recommendations for something that would be cool? Calypso

    Mindbender change - thoughts?

    Well, I'm generally trying to keep the change minimal, in order to limit what needs rebalancing. I agree that it's something of a broken class, seeing as all it does is replicate spells you get as an arcane caster anyway. But that's a separate issue. Calypso

    Mindbender change - thoughts?

    So, Mindbender is generally considered a great 1 level dip, but a weak PrC overall. In an effort to change that, what do you think about... Changing the spellcasting progression to 2,3,4,5,7,8,9,10. That's it. It makes the first level less appealing (no more good fort and will, caster level...

    Critical Fumble?

    Perhaps he dropped them?

    Critical Fumble?

    Okay, I suspected there wasn't. Thanks. I have a funny feeling that at our next game when I say "So, there's no such thing as a critical fumble." the DM is just gonna say "Well, new house rule." Calypso

    Critical Fumble?

    For as long as I've been with them, my group has played it that a confirmed hit on a 20 is a critical hit. This is true. We've also played it that a confirmed miss on a 1 is a critical fumble. I actually tried to find the rules for this recently (I forget why) and couldn't. Is there any such...

    Do Geomancer's suck? And what to do about it.

    So, you're making something that has nothing to do with the Geomancer. Got it.

    Hiding fom Magic Missle

    A big, well, lit, square room is boring though. So what if the PC hides? Give the BBEG an item of true-seeing, or tremorsense, or scent. You can't hide from scent. Calypso

    Do items count for spell-casting requirements?

    Just to clarify why I had to ask: I was 100% certain that items counted, but my DM didn't believe me so I needed you guys to convince him :D Calypso

    Do items count for spell-casting requirements?

    If a Paladin has a natural wisdom of 11, but 13 with an item, can he cast 3rd level spells? Also, if you can cite sources? Calypso

    Do Geomancer's suck? And what to do about it.

    Well, the fact that they cast all of their spells using the best combination of components is pretty powerful. Meaning, they can ignore arcane spell failure, ignore non-divine focuses and material components, etc. Calypso

    Ring of Force Shield with a 2H weapon?

    Also, and this is completely unrelated, do you guys think that Vambraces of Evil's Warding, from BoED (they give evil people that attack the wearer -4 on ranged attack rolls), are good for a 2H Paladin at 18000gp? Calypso

    Ring of Force Shield with a 2H weapon?

    Can you use (and benefit from) a Ring of Force Shield while wielding a 2-handed weapon? Calypso
