    What race is the Wizard in your group? (take II)

    Thanks. Interesting to see how much people downplay the -2 Con that elves get.

    What race is the Wizard in your group? (take II)

    You kidding? People started making dwarven wizards as soon as the option was available. Anyways.. The pure wizard in my current campaign is my own human wizard, a specialist conjurer. The other wizard (specialist abjurer) in the party is a tengu (we modified the race heavily), but he's...

    Stupid Pcs that roll high

    We have a player that quite legitimately rolls crits with his PC's long spear pretty much whenever he needs to. There isn't any question of cheating; he rolls his dice on a flat-bottomed platter sort of thing, and can just pass around the 20 when it happens. It's rather scary yet pretty cool...

    The DM did IMPURE things to my PC!

    Just out of curiousity, Dead, how old are you and Rimple?

    Hardness for a vorpal sword?

    It looks like you could sunder it by the RAW, yes. I've always handled a balor's weapons as snapping in and out of existence when the balor wants them to -- the weapons take shape from the aura of fire. So I guess a PC could disrupt (sunder) one of the weapons, but it'll be right back on the...

    You're a 3.5 Conjurer. What are your opposed schools?

    I play a 3.5 conjurer, and I gave up Evocation and Necromancy. I'd probably be better off if I had given up Enchantment instead of Necromancy (I almost never use Enchantment spells), but giving up Necromancy made sense for my character concept. The only thing I'm really annoyed to have lost...

    The (new) ENworlder age poll!

    23, with everyone else in my group being 25 or older.

    Wildshape (polymorph) question

    Ah, okay. Thanks!

    Wildshape (polymorph) question

    What qualities carry over from a person's natural form to a form assumed by polymorph? I know you gain the Ex. attack forms inherent to the new shape, but what carries over to this shape? Supernatural qualities? Extraordinary qualities? I'm suddenly wondering about this, because I want to...

    the 6th level spell that destroyed our party (Acid Fog)

    That probably is a bit harsh, yet.. The impression I'm getting of this is not the DM going "Alright, Acid Fog has been cast, lemme check what it can do.. Oops, it's gonna destroy all of your stuff;" it's the DM going "cool, I can use this spell to destroy their stuff." If destroying equipment...

    Alignment conundrum (long), Yig stay out !

    If the PCs have decided to pick a fight with their only allies, then this should go badly for them. Either they're going to need to firmly establish themselves as a faction in town, or they're going to need to flee town altogether. They have to sleep sometime... It sounds like your PCs have...

    the 6th level spell that destroyed our party (Acid Fog)

    Obviously, objects carried by the PCs are protected by the Dude Factor, and so aren't subject to damage until the Dude Factor is exhausted. I'm pretty sure Disintegrate and Destruction leave a pile of stuff alongside the dust/ashes. Anyways, you got screwed by a bad ruling. Your lucky he...

    how does a culture recover from an apocalyptic event?

    In a world where the mortal races have been utterly crushed like that, the strength of those creatures that are inherently better becomes apparent very quickly. "The people do not care what rules over them, as long as they are safe." Dragons, giants, beholders, efreeti, etc.. Enclaves of...

    Warlock.....seen in action for the 1st time

    Man, burning snow is awesome.

    Fey or Outsider (Native)?

    Fey would probably be fine, if they're non-undead spirits. Lots of fey creatures that aren't nice at all (redcaps, for example).

    My @!@#! Player abusing Feather Fall

    No, he created a spell to fake out his enemies. If enemies are waiting to attack him when he's casting, then he's got this "blank charge" spell that he developed just for the purpose of provoking enemy fire prematurely. I'd say that cantrips are just too crappy to ever be castable as swift...

    Can sieges withstand magical assault?

    Collosal weapons don't cost any more to enchant than tiny weapons, so I doubt seige engines would cost more to enchant than conventional weapons. Unless there's rules for it that I'm completely oblivious to.

    My @!@#! Player abusing Feather Fall

    Heh. "hi!" or whatever should be a first level spell, but that's actually pretty clever. Second, you rely way to much on readied actions to stop spellcasting; this is probably why the player does this. Your "25 points per arrow" archer could easily have outright killed the wizard; why was he...

    Can sieges withstand magical assault?

    Since someone didn't have a right numbers for this -- acidball is an acid-substituted fireball, which is a 3rd level spell. A wand of acid ball cast at 10th level costs 3x10x750 gold (22500). It takes 23 days and 11250 just to make one of those, which is then expended in 50 shots. It that...
