Just wanted to share with you guys a staff I created for a 14th level sorcerer. It took all of his starting cash, basically. It was handed down through his family, originally created by his great-grandmother, a silver dragon. "The Silver Staff This staff allows use of the following spells...

Huh, right you are (of course!) Dunno why I thought it did. Oh well! I quite enjoy chained Finger of Death (DC 31 fort save, DC 27 for secondary targets :D) Calypso

Nice! I wish I could take that now. I even have Craft Staff (my DM required it for a special function I wanted on a family-heirloomy staff). Calypso EDIT: Thanks for the Epic spell DC! I'll probably make it into a ritual instead of making it take 2 months to cast. Include 4 other level...

It depends how lenient your DM is. I created a level 14 sorcerer and put all his starting cash into a staff. I put in the ability to recharge the staff. During a full moon I can perform a ritual that deals me con damage in order to add charges. 1 point of con damage per charge, and I have to...

It'd be a hit at parties!

Heh, it's funny that you should mention that, but I have a spell called Troll's Blood from S&S Hallowfaust. It gives me Regen 3/acid or fire, as a troll. I cast that and become immune to subdual damage. Hello free metamagic! Calypso EDIT: Oh, and it gets more expensive the more you string...

Yeah, it's probably what I'll do. (I was kidding when I said I wasn't so sure... sort of a play on words, to make it seem like I was talking about Loremaster, but then the phrase in question showed that I was talking about the Leadership idea all long! Anyway, sorry.) The knowledge shouldn't...

Well... a 19 HD Storm Giant isn't that far away from 7 HD... oh wait. Calypso

Good call, I considered that for my initial build but had since forgotten all about it. I can easily qualify for that by level 19. Thanks! As for Loremaster, I'm not so sure... :D Calypso

Well, feat suggestions are definitely welcome, but it's my next class with which I'm really baffled. Making metamagic cheaper in the game I'm in is not as good as normal, since anyone can spontaneously use metamagic without increasing the level. You take subdual damage = double the level...

Hey all, I'm in a campaign which I expect will go into epic levels fairly soon. I'm playing a Sorcerer 14/Archmage 2. I'll finish Archmage at level 19. So, where do I go from there? My current feats: Empower Spell Chain Spell Spell Focus (Illusion and Necromancy) Greater Spell Focus...

I don't allow staves that are not themed. Meaning, it contains multiple spells that are related somehow. Plus, it has to have a cool name. :D Calypso

I see no reason why you couldn't use them both. They don't require an action. Calypso

That's not correct. To make a Will Save to break the affect once it's in place requires a full round. So, if you fail your initial save you're guaranteed to lose at least 1 round. Calypso

The Saving Throw entry indicates that there are two saves: Will Negates, and a special one which is described in the body. The Will Negates means that if the target succeeds on their initial save, the spell has no effect. It fizzles. The special one allows them a chance to break the hold each...

When I think tower shield, I think of the old Roman scutum: http://www.romans-in-britain.org.uk/mil_roman_soldier_shield.htm I can imagine that being used on horseback... but maybe not. What's the alternative? Strap two shields to my horse, one for when I'm mounted and one for when I'm on...

I couldn't find a reference to it in the rules. It says that if you make a DC 5 Ride check, you can guide with your knees, leaving both hands open. If so, is there any limitation? Can I use a tower shield while mounted? Calypso

Ahhh, I didn't know about the increase in damage! Thanks guys :D Calypso

So, in the spell Enlarge Person it says: "This spell causes instant growth of a humanoid creature, doubling its height and multiplying its weight by 8. This increase changes the creature’s size category to the next larger one. The target gains a +2 size bonus to Strength, a -2 size penalty to...

Ah, right, sorry. Heh, the D&D rules forum was the only one I even knew about. :o Okay, so maybe +4 or +5 then? Then they could get it just about the same time they qualify for most fighter-type PrCs. Calypso
