I've never played a ranger or a sorcerer. I've played as a monk once, and have no desire to ever play as a monk again.

0th level spells are negligible. An extra Color Spray per day means something at 1st level, but an extra Prestidigitation means nothing at all. I don't think +2 a mental stat should be worth +1 LA in of itself, either.

Because a 20 in a mental stat is considered to be significantly better than a 20 in a physical stat, due to the extra 1st level bonus spell.

And thus one of the great discrepencies of the system rears its head. A -2 to Cha isn't enough of a penalty to balance out +2 Str, but +2 Cha is so great that it's worth an entire level? Whoopdefreakin' do, the sorcerer has 7 spells per day instead of 6, or whatever... Of course, the official...

It'd probably react with annoyance. As long as the Far Realm beings aren't intruding into an area that demon is interested in, it'd probably ignore them. A kaorti cyst that actually intruded upon a balor's turf would almost certainly face extermination, though. The tanar'ri are inclined to...

Plane Sailing -- I think the Disintegrate damage change was due to it working on objects, which includes non-golem constructs and corporeal undead. Both of those have miserable fort saves, making Disintegrate a swift way to deal with anything in those categories that aren't outright immune to...

Nice work, Psi. Sadly, d20 combat ends far too swiftly to emulate the prolonged duels in R3K. Xiahou Dun definately needs a really high Con and the Die Hard feat; 'tis not a normal man, who can take an arrow to the eye and keep on going.. I'd give the really superior weapons, like Green...

Paladins could be of a LN diety, though working with the LE priests of one's god's would be weird -- it's against the code to work with evil people, yet these particular evil people work for the same god that the pally does... As I DM, I'd simply treat this as an exception to the code, but...

Go to http://www.threekingdoms.com and read some of it. Chapters 41 & 42 should be particularly inspiritional.

Now, if a dragon gains sorcerer levels, it adds them to its existing sorcerer levels. Can dragons that can fill sorcerer spell slots with divine spells (like red, gold, and silver dragons) still do so if they took sorcerer levels? If an adult red dragon (automatic 7th level sorc) took 11...

I usually emphasize the Good part of my paladins' alignment, with the Law part generally indicative of duty & honor; Law + Good is the person that tries to watch out for everyone. Weak will saves actually aren't a problem for paladins, since they usually have decent wisdom stats and good...

Intelligent armor that bitterly resents getting scratched, and tries to compel its owner to keep it shiny and in top condition at all times (and also tries to prevent the owner from fighting, since battle would damage it).

I'd raise the number of wizards and sorcerers in the Horde. If there's any campaign world that would have the firepower necessary to deal with an army of 1 million sociopaths, it'd be the Realms. But yeah, just what runs the Horde? The Horde sounds kinda like a weaker version of the Burning...

Don't underestimate Suggestions to "Sit Down and Shut Up." If the vamp's really good, there's no reason why he can't have multiple creatures in his service.

If you stat them, the party can kill them.

When 3E came out, I followed the CR to XP rules fairly well, and it worked pretty well. Our use of the CR-XP system kinda broke down when one of us ran 4 CR 20 enemies against a 16th level party; everyone literally gained a level (prize moment of the session: my bard triggered a mirror of...

Kill them all, and reanimate them as the undead minions of their boss (just make them all undead, and keep on going).

Also -- a cohesive evil party is based on respect. Respect in the sense of acknowling each others abilities in "solving problems," but also in the sense of "fighting that guy could go either way." If the tannuruk believes that he could run roughshod over the rest of the party, then there would...

I know; I pointed that out to the DM after the battle (we didn't even know about the cleric until we found the corpse in the dragon's lair).

A battle with an Ancient Green (I think that's the age category) -- this dragon had a bit of a grudge against us, and had taken some hostages. After a long and merry chase across a kingdom, we were lead to a small island. On a pedestal on the shore, was a case full of Potions of Water...
