Alright, I trust the collective opinion of ENWorld implicitly, so I'm taking it on faith :D When it turns out to be a good choice, I'll come back and let you know so you can all say "toldya so!" Thanks guys. Calypso

Excuse my ineptitude, but I'm still having trouble seeing the big benefit of Heighten Spell. When would I use it? For instance, if I heightened a Finger of Death to 9 (of which I can only cast 3 per day, btw), that would only increase the DC by 2. I mean, it has some ancillary benefits, such...

Yep, that's why I think it's pretty good. Of course, I'll have to look into Orb of Force. I might be able to duplicate it with Shadow Evocation. I have a rechargeable staff with energy immunity in it, so that's alright. I can emulate most any element type I need, courtesy of Shadow...

Okay... I'm not very familiar with Shapechange, but am I correct in my interpretation that if I shapechange into a golem, I gain immunity to magic? Doesn't that lead to a paradox of sorts? Calypso

Really, heighten spell? Might I ask why? As for Gate/Summon anything, won't work. :\ The campaign we're in, dragons long ago banished the gods and constructed a barrier around the material plane, so we're pretty much cut off from any inner or outer planes. To get around SR, I'm thinking...

Yes, that's the entire point of Mastery of Counterspelling. Calypso

So, I just reached 18, (3.0 character) and I have to pick a spell and feat. He's a necromancer/illusionist. Feats: Chain Spell, Empower Spell, Spell Focus (Necromancy, Illusion), Greater Spell Focus (Necromancy), Skill Focus (Spellcraft), Spellcasting Prodigy. High Arcana: Spell Power +2...

Polymorph Any Object on yourself, to turn you into a bowl of rice pudding, following by Animate Object.

I just yoinked that from standard contingency. Basically, it means if the condition is "Trigger when a red-haired man approaches on the second tuesday of the month, but only if it's a full moon and the Red Sox won the World Series this year." then there's a good chance it'll muck up. Calypso

Sounds like fun! Whether they'd stand for it or not, I can't say, but it still sounds like a good time. As for magic items... either implement some sort of "magic encumberance" that depends on level... or... I dunno. You can't really just degrade their items, unless that's also part of the...

Your Dimension Door fix really makes it crappy. One of it's biggest uses is as an uh-oh spell. I'm in a grapple? Dimension Door, 200ft in any direction. You just got caught in a room, and the ceiling is going to crush you? Dimension door 10 ft, so you're just outside the room. Requiring...

A couple thoughts: Play to this: Make an adventure which REQUIRES Wind Walk to succeed. They have to be somewhere in 6 hours, and the only way they'll make it is if they Wind Walk, perhaps skipping over some scene of mayhem that would normally draw them. To mix it up a bit, put in a part...

Quintin's Quality Contingency Evocation Level: Sor/Wiz 9 Components: V, S Casting Time: At least 10 minutes; see text Range: Personal Target: You Duration: See text You can dedicate a number of your spells so that they come into effect under some conditions you dictate when casting quality...

Okay, thanks. The reason I was confused was because of Zone of Animation, but that specifically says that non-epic characters can take it. Despite having a prerequisite that does not say that. EDIT: Nevermind, I just read the entry for "Divine" feats and it's a special case. Calypso

If you qualify for an epic feat before level 21, can you take it? Namely, Epic Spell Focus.

Cool, thanks for the suggestions. I'm still not sure what got him into adventuring, perhaps it would be one of the few fields in which his skills would also be applicable, and he has to eat somehow.

No idea :/ It was refered to, in my presence, as Tyr, the Free City, if that helps at all. From what I gathered, they no longer raise people as slaves to fight in the pit, they don't toss people in there as punishment, etc. If you're fighting in the pits, it's because you want to be. I'm...

Hrm. Someone that was ruling Tyr was killed/left. It's a free city now. That happened a couple years ago I believe.

I'm allowed to use PHB, DMG, and some stuff he's pulled and house-ruled from Athas.org. Races allowed: Standard PHB except Gnomes and Half-Orcs, Bird-men, Pteredactyl men, half-giants, Muls, Thri-Kreen. For Gladiator, he's using the one from Sword and First. That's the only thing from...

I'm not really sure. I think he's afraid I'll metagame (he doesn't know me, I just met him for the first time last week) or something. Even his regular players don't know jack about the setting. Oh, and *GASP*, psionics? Oh man, I'll have to try not to metagame. :D I have a problem when I...
