Yes. While a 30th level Wizard casting Fireball is only good for 10d6 and a Psion manifesting Energy Sphere: Fire could be throwing a 30d6+30 fireball. One costs a 3rd level slot and the other costs 30 power points. Psion's advantage appears to diminish greatly when you take into consideration...

ahem... we received our build monies from Brevoy, but that location was "off the map". I asked about it at the time and it just got glossed over. This DM is a bit of a jerk at times, but maybe he thinks this is a "cool plot point" or something. All I know is it pissed some of us off.

This for just about every Power in the game. I joined TarionzCousin's 4e group when they were level 12. My Sorc's favorite power was Blazing Starfall (thats right, a lvl 1 at-will). I used feats to boost that power until it was my most effective combat power. Around level 16 I was doing...

My reasons for doing it that way lie with the observation that most Paladins I have seen played are not remotely "paladin-like" in play. Usually the PCs are all vaguely N/E selfish jerks... and "paladins" are usually the biggest jerks in the party. To be fair I have also had the pleasure of...

I will base my FR off of the 2e boxset regardless of what 5e does to the setting. Perhaps with some updates from my 3e FRCS.

Well, isn't 5e supposed to be rather modular? In my campaigns the Paladin will be a prestige thing (not necessarily a class, perhaps more of a title + some holy powerz). Nobody starts as a paladin, it is something that is earned by good RP and uber-good deeds. So chalk me up for the L/G bit...

Update: Last night the party went out to explore Hexes we hadn't yet been to and we went to go check on the Stag Lord's Fort, thinking we would at least build there for our next town. Well as we near we see new construction and find out that the ex-PC of the DM's wife had begun building there...

I only text during a game if its important. I will check the time with my phone every once in awhile. Last night I played a hundred turns of Civ IV while playing D&D (PF, whatever) and still managed to pay attention to what was going on, and chime in when relevant. Generally I use my laptop...

Death Ward? Pretty standard divine fare, should protect against the Con drain... I think. In a FR game, I'd also rule that most of Frostburn spells would be appropriate Deities only (such as Auril). What is BS is clerics getting 100% access to every damn "cleric" spell in the game just because...

When we killed the Stag Lord I mentioned "hey, we should totally rennovate this place". And then when it came time to build, the Keep was not on the map. Thats ok, Stag Lord's will be our next city, for our Southern Border. Having our capital close to our Silver and Gold mines isn't a bad...

2e: Can Rogue Modrons even be Wizards? :p edit: dur, Quadrones (the type that become "rogues" most often) have 6 sides... but I knew what I meant!

[redacted]

No. All I want in a GM is that they know their stuff, have some direction in mind, keep it interesting and most importantly - not be d-bags... this includes having a SO in the group (ick). Gender doesn't fit into that equation at all.

My top 5 1) Psion 2) Druid 3) Wizard 4) Cleric 5) Rogue or Swordsage (hard to choose)

Druid | Monk = L/N. That is true. You can always ask your DM to drop the Lawful component of being a Monk. Class alignment restrictions are pretty silly anyways. Just because one iconic "monk concept" is the hyper-disciplined martial artist doesn't mean they all have to be. N/E Druid | Monk who...

Not everybody has the chutzpah to be a Wizard (sorc, psi, whatever). Some are instead gifted with minds that find complex math easy or have strange ideas that lead to new inventions. Maybe the world's magic users can't be bothered with helping the masses travel, or spread news. Thus some Dwarf...

Monk | Ranger seems cool to match your background. If you can, take a level into Shiba Protector (OA), this will grant you Wis mod to hit and dmg (on top of str). Monk X / SP 1 | Cleric Y (where Y = X+1) could be fun. Sure you don't have full BAB, but with Wis to hit (and dmg) you won't...

Fluff it however you want. Untyped means there are no Resistances or Immunities to it... aside from Spell Resistance / Immunity (such as Golems). Disintegrate is usually described as a green ray that reduces targets to a pile of dust. That doesn't sound like "raw energy" to me, but if a player...

Untyped. Disintegrate is just "damage", it does not have a descriptor. So its not Acid, Cold, Electricity, Fire, Force, Negative, or whatever else you can think of. It is closest to the "divine half" of Flame strike. And for a 6th level spell that does a pitiful 5d6 on a successful save, I'm...

Unfortunately the WotC Warmage is not a very good 'blaster" class. It can do the job, but without really trying other classes do it better. Sorc, simply because they can take some BOOM and also do more relevant things... like perhaps Fly, Haste, Mage Armor, or whatever. My personal favorite BOOM...
