Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Robe of the Archmagi - Bless and Spell Resistance.........riiiiiiiiiight.... I think it's just that you and I have differing views on what this item is. For me, it represents one of the quintessential items of the Wizard's craft, and always has since 1st Edition...

This is going to sound ridiculously cheesy, but........... Technically, you may not have to give up the XP. Since Limited Wish would be functioning as the spell to be used, and the magic item creation rules state: "If spells are involved in the prerequisites for making an item, the creator...

Re: Re: Re: Re: Robe of the Archmagi - Bless and Spell Resistance.........riiiiiiiiiight..... Right. I should have been clearer. The definition of Magus in DnD terms is clearly the Sorcerer, and Wizard, unless you are playing in a setting that *specifically* uses the ancient Persians and...

Hrm. Ok article, I guess but: "Are we running away from reality when we indulge in fantasy?" Uhhhhhh..............that's sort of the definition of fantasy....I guess. This just sounded silly. Oh, and he ruins a key element of the end of the Lord of the Rings trilogy. What a jerk. Maybe...

Re: Re: Robe of the Archmagi - Bless and Spell Resistance.........riiiiiiiiiight..... Yes, I know there are many items that require collaboration. But ALL OF THOSE can be used by either party that collaborates on them. The robe can only be used by Arcane Casters. Which seems patently ridiculous.

Re: Re: Robe of the Archmagi - Bless and Spell Resistance.........riiiiiiiiiight..... 1.) That is VERY MUCH your interpertation of the term. 2.) It also requires Mage Armor, meaning that collaboration is necessary. This doesn't strike you as silly?

Has anyone else noticed this? Robe of the Archmagi has, as two of it's prerequisites, Bless and Spell Resistance. Both divine spells ONLY. WTF?? One of the penultimate item's of a mage's craft requires him to collaborate with a cleric on it's crafting? Who came up with this? Have you...

w00t. I'd prefer a smackdown challenge, though. Powered by Jolt, the conflicting rules lawyers go at it all night, until one collapses, or forgets that Targeted Dispels get a roll for every spell, and Area Dispels are roll till ya win. Oh, and I retract most of my suggestions in my previous...

Really? That's over 8,000 people you're speaking for. As much as it will be universally reviled as beating a dead horse, I'll be HAPPY to post a poll in Rules. I'll suggest the wording here, in case there are any objections ahead of time: Poll: Do you think Haste is too powerful as is? a.)...

I'm quoting this particular post, because you seem to have left this statement behind in the subsequent conversation. You say the regular spell ability is not-so-whacked, but you're concerned about balancing the magical item ability. The FAQ suggests the 10 rounds a day limitation, standard...

Well, this is kind of hard to say. I mean, from the examples you posted, he's essentially undermining the very core of the system. But.......... You say, for example, that he can use Divine spells spontaneously while others are memorizing. How? If he's being taken at his word on how the game...

Re: Contact info? ginguy_2000@yahoo.com Mail away! Already talking to Hopping Vampire.

Well........yes, of course. That's perfectly reasonable. That's not at all what I was responding to. You said: THAT'S what I was responding to. Well. That's just butchery, plain and simple. This and other things you describe, while GREAT tactics, don't present a "challenge" in the...

Yeah, the DM's always right. Because it doesn't matter how much work, dedication, and thought were put into the 3E rules system. It also doesn't matter that there are rules to cover MANY situations that were just left up in the air in previous editions and other game systems. Let's just stick...

Re: Re: Re: Re: [BADD] DM taking it too far? Of course, you're right. There *is* a serious lack of rules pertaining to such extreme circumstances. On the other hand, I suspect that the environmental effects were deliberately kept to a minimum, to maximize the impact of what were intended to...

Re: Re: [BADD] DM taking it too far? Despite how much I love your descriptions of what the area should look like, I think the more intelligent dragons would avoid this. Advertising your presence in an area is rarely the path to gaining the upper hand. And very, VERY few dragons ever let you...

I use the meaty parts, and the parts made with hydrogenated vegetable oil. Oh, and the quality craftsman parts as well. Those are great. Go meat chickens!

I think Miracle would do it for me.

*looks around* "......no living man am I.........." :D :D :D :D :D

Hork! My serious sympathies. :( I managed to read the trilogy with no spoilers, and it definitely makes certain......*ahem*....."scenes" highly worthwhile for the surprise. If it's any consolation, there are many good scenes potentially upcoming in the next two movies, so that if he just ruined...
