It may take some cooperation from your DM, and it will take a lot of cash, but Craft Staff + Heighten Spell might do the trick. By the current rules, only the staves from the DMG can be made, which makes the feat a waste. A staff of Heightened Flame Strike would be good. Otherwise, look at...

Dwarves. Surprisingly versatile, and damn effective. I wish half-orcs had more to them than +2 Str and Darkvision. As much as I like the Horde, all they can do right is break things.

Ah, okay.

Temple of Boom? Awesome Doesn't look like it, but I might as well check -- did they stat out any more major NPCs? I want to see Thrall's character sheet, dangit

If they don't want to DM, then it's just as well that they don't. Hell, my group has 1 guy who wants to DM on a pretty regular basis, but he's so bad at it that we don't let him. The few times we did let him DM, we've had to veto his character receiving a Gundam, and crap like that. If they...

I'm not sure why I'm suddenly wondering about this, but I am. My group did "take the average or do a straight roll" for our first 3E game right when it came out, and we've been doing "roll high-side" for HP ever since then. What about the rest of you? Edit: "Roll high-side" would be rerolling...

There's actually a 26 ep TV series of that, too. Starts with a different cast (one of whom is a major character in the manga) and converges with the OVA storyline about halfway through.

Heh. I don't even watch American television anymore; if I'm watching something, it's almost certainly subtitled anime that I have downloaded. Hell, I'm waiting on a couple episodes of Full Metal Alchemist right now. Part of the "hate" is a real age gap I can see -- I can't think of anyone I...

Undead created in a area effected by Desecrate or Unhallow have more HP, which is a big edge towards clerics. Though I guess a wizard could use Limited Wish to make an Unhallowed area as his animation chamber.

Oops. Didn't think it got through, since it had seemed like the board had died.

I'd expect the paladin to be the last one out -- no retreating until he or she is sure that everyone else is safe, and for the paladin to guard the rear of a retreating group. Beyond that, I expect paladins to live with honor, not die with stupidity.

With the new campaign, we've had a PC rendered unconcious in the 2nd session, but we haven't had to fudge to prevent any deaths. In the game we had a year ago, the dice were just out to get one NPCs -- the DM would roll 2 or 3 crits a session with arrows or great-axes against this 1st to 2nd...

His Str is a 16 with the belt or without the belt? Anyways, with his caster level of 12 or 13, a single greater dispelling at those levels would shut him down on the spot. Edit: if anything I'd say his character is neat, not a twink. He's completely relying upon his spells for his damage...

If the rest of the party put together can't normally do 200 damage in one round they're all higher level than this guy, then the problem is that they're seriously underpowered for epic characters. I can understand him outclassing the L22 monk, but otherwise.. First off, the 23rd level cleric...

Minions: they aren't just cleave fodder anymore

200 damage at 20th level is nothing. I've seen 250+ out single hits before at those levels, and that's without serious twinking. If it's really causing a problem, just point out to him that he's creating too big a gap between his own character and the rest of the party. He should be able to...

2nd session of a new campaign that died one session later, we had the L2 paladin get instantly mowed down by generic kobolds. The Paladin had an AC 20 or so, and had stepped out from behind cover to draw out the kobolds and allow us to rush them. The DM's lowest roll for all six kobolds was a...

I'd use a +3 mithril buckler as the closest comparison of such an item -- with a weight of like 1 pound, a -0 armor penalty, and 0% spell failure, it's as close to a shield that's not really there as you're gonna get without making a slotless item. That being said, the item in question would be...

I've read up to page 10 of this thread. I vote "keeps powers." Taking care of the child and dealing with the townspeople should be messy enough. At worst, he might deserve a slap on the wrist for acting on impulse; I'm picturing the pally drawing his sword and whacking the guy in one motion...

I remember one of the Relics & Rituals spells being something along the lines of 3d6 Con damage, save for 1/2. I think it was only 7th level, too. And yeah, your DM hopefully screwed up.
