    What's your 'dump stat'?

    Having an 8 wisdom is fun.

    How FAST should he turn evil? (Updated 2/9)

    If that had been a succubus and not an erinyes, he'd be out-and-out dead. So being compelled to sell his soul isn't too bad a deal. When I read your description of what the dagger really is, my first thought was Stormbringer. The dagger shouldn't be stupid; one of the first things it should...

    Cohort Mount

    That's translate into a 14 or so HD creature with no cool powers, or perhaps a 10-12 HD creature that does get neat powers. But at that level, we should definately be looking at something exotic. A celestial nightmare (a Daydream?), perhaps? A normal one is a 6HD creature, perhaps worth...

    A.D. (after draconomicon)

    A fey or undead book would be interesting. They released books for Beholders, Illithids, and Sahuagin in 2E; each of those was accompanied by a set of modules. Are Sahuagin copyrighted?

    If D&D spell lists were reduced to 10/level...

    Spontaneous casters get their new spells the instant they level; those spells and the two new spells that wizards learn each time they level up would be exempt from any scarcity rules. BTW, spell research takes a minimum of 1 week per spell level of the spell. Throwing together a wand of magic...

    Cohort Mount

    Well, a half-celestial unicorn is probably out. A pegasis, a griffon, or a hippogryph are the critters would most easily fit the bill. You should also mention what level your character is; but since you mention messing with rings in another thread, I guess your character's level is 12+. If...

    Character Sheets: What do you use?

    I have a standard layout for it, but I normally just grab a piece of line-rule paper when I want to make a new character sheet.

    Need help designing this lich BBEG!

    20+ wizard equivalent levels, 10+ levels of fighter (or perhaps even blackguard, with his divine spells being drawn from his absolute faith in his own mandate of conquest). This guy has done a lot of magical research, and that kinda conflicts with being a sorcerer (no real capacity for new...

    How do Armor Spikes Work?

    The spikes on the armor of a medium-sized creature deal 1d6 damage. I actually figured that the armor spike damage replaced your unarmed damage; instead of bruising the victim for 1d3+Str mod, you impaled them for 1d6+ str mod. You do regular unarmed damage on the attack that actually...

    This is... disturbing.

    Actually, is he a rules lawyer, or is he a control freak? Those aren't the same thing, and the latter is far worse than the former. And yes, your calculations look fine. Your character concept probably won't work in this guy's campaign, though.

    This is... disturbing.

    He pulled that CL 15 right out of the Abyss. The Caster Level of an item isn't actually the required caster level (3E, anyways; maybe they changed that in 3.5); it's just the normal caster level of a generic copy of that item. Look at the Circlet of Blasting as an example of an item kinda like...

    Disintergrate - how many saves?

    Objects normally aren't effected by spells that require fort saves. Disintegrate is an exception, and so the (objects) notation, indicating that objects actually need to make a save against it, is there. I'm pretty sure that's how that sort of thing works, anyways.

    How many gamers does it take to change a light bulb?

    One. If you add any more, they'll go do something else and completely forget about it.

    How long have we all been playing RPGs?

    I can remember looking through my big brother's 1st edition Monster Manual before I actually knew how to read. I didn't develop a sufficient attention span to actually play RPGs until I was 10 or so, so around 1991.

    Vorpal sword and Heavy Fortification

    IMO, it negates crits, so it stops vorpal blades. I don't particularly care for fortification being placable on shields, though. Being able to carry around a dinky buckler that effectively nullifies all hostile rogues seems a bit much.

    CRs, NPC Classes, and Wussy Critters

    For humanoids like the kobold, the creature becomes a L1 whatever that has the race of the creature. If a PC class, it becomes CR 1; if an NPC class like warrior, it becomes CR 1/2. The class level will actually replace its racial hit die. That being said, most of the standard humanoid...

    Extracting information from somebody who's Dominated?

    Isn't this the epic evil party? I would expect such a group to be competant enough to not kill the victim by accident. Also, I'm assuming that they can tell if the subject is lying to them, and what-not. Exactly what form of domination is the archdevil using, and how'd the aristocrat get...

    D&D is 30 this month!

    Creepy, how age sort of sneaks up on ya. I think D&D has been getting enough cosmetic surgery to avoid sag, though :D

    How old is our gaming population of EN World?

    Gaming and webcomic-related boards, for the most part. Most of the people one finds on those boards are in the 15-20 range or so -- high school geeks, or college students killing time. Once you get to the upper-limit of college age, or go past it, the number of people in the community at that...

    How old is our gaming population of EN World?

    On most internet message boards, being 22 makes me one of the fossils. Here, I'm one of the kids :eek:
