I currently plan to go to L20+ as a single-class wizard with my current character (should be L14 once exp is handed out for the last session). In my group's games, it's normal for people to have multiclassed before reaching L10, though (though usually into a prestige class).

I voted "everything," since this probably should've been a "you can select multiple options" poll. The undead were common in my campaign until a few months ago, when a major plot event destroyed most of them. Humans (often druids) have been the most common enemy, along with a monster we came...

I'm looking at the SRD, for types of walls. I guess castle walls would be superier masonry or reinforced masonry. A 1 ft thick, 10x10 section of superior masonry has hardness 8 and 90 HP. BUt this is a castle. The wall are going to be a LOT thicker than 1 ft. So how about 10 ft? Now we're...

Using Wisdom as a dump stat generally isn't a good idea mechanically, but it can definitely be amusing.

The example "orb people" that DMH just posted look like people who are slipping -- "the people don't know what's best for them, they need to do what we say." In all likelyhood, their society (assuming the nation survived) didn't go to hell in a handbasket after the orb people were lost; it's...

Man, being able to chuck vorpal bananas would be awesome. Anyways, vorpal on a bow is a bit much -- he's getting 5+ shots per round at pretty high accuaracy to begin with (I'm guess the party is high level, if they're getting things like vorpal weapons); in theory, he'd get an instant-kill...

On the other hand, a creature with - Con is destroyed on the spot when reduced to 0 HP, instead having the extra little buffer that living creatures get. I guess in terms of survival, a proper construct warforged would have a net 9 or 10 HP over a living person at L1, with that advantage...

Greater Teleport at will, or cold immunity.

+1, shocking/flaming armor spikes should go a long way towards discouraging grappling. Feat-wise, I'd recommend Power Attack. It's just good to have it.

I assume that psions lose power points when they suffer negative levels, much the same way that the vancian spellcasters lose spell slots. So, how many? 5 points per level, like HP? Some number based on the psion's manifester level? I never found the relevant section in the 3.5 psionics...

In my group's longest running 3E campaign (went on for about 2 years), every character in the party except for the wizard and the bard's cohort (a paladin) had died at least once. Our worst spot was when we had 8 deaths over the course of 2 sessions; hooray for True Res. Of the two current...

Some dragon CRs were raised. Otherwise, nope, no change.

Lesse here. 50 years ago, the god's walked the land and did battle. Some died, some were seriously injured, and a few have grown even stronger. One of the bizarre after-effects of the war is that 1 in 10 ten humanoids, upon reaching adolescense, goes through a irreversible transformation into...

1st. It's magic. Magic pervades everything, but your faith, your learning, or your bloodline gives you some means of control over it. What the spell does is far more important than how. 2nd. Creatures are able to do whatever they do simply because of what the they. We don't seek to explain...

Yes, you can do that. That's part of why you need a 20th level caster to get a +5 out of Greater Magic Weapon now.

Hold over from 1E and 2E, when the creature was really called there. And maybe 3.0E, for that matter. Especially from 1E and 2E, when summoned creatures could summon more creatures and make a HUGE force in short time. Of course, if a gelugon summons another gelugon, and the summoned one gets...

The Native Outsider exception is made for the PC outsider races: genasi, tieflings, aasimar, etc., all of whom are mostly mortal. A balor that dies in the Abyss is just as thoroughly dead as one that dies on the Prime Material. If anything, killing something on its home plane used to be what...

Brilliant Energy is a pretty crappy enchantment, but it seems designed to bypass all shield and armor bonuses. So it should work against mage armor, shield, and bracers of armor. It can be worth +21 to hit or more against sword-and-board fighters, but it's vastly less effective against most...

I'm still fond of the Suggestion to "sit down and shut up."

I saw Pax mention it in the thread on summons that he mentioned, and I know I've seen it before, but I can't seem to find it now. What book is it from? For that matter, is it a feat, or an Alienist class ability?
