    Code Monkey Lose WoTC License (Merged)

    After reading this thread, an idea came into my mind ... I don't know the details of the agreement between WOTC and CMP, however could it be possible that WOTC had been "secretly" developing their own character tools for the subscription part of the website? Thus on Dec 1st they can simply...

    Map Symbol Fonts?

    This is the place you seek http://www.fontcraft.com/mapmaker/ I've been tempted to get hold of these these for a while now. D

    What do you think of Robilar's Gambit?

    The other thing that the feat does not do is give you reach. Thus it will not generally work on those bigger monsters. Of course if the player is running around with a reach weapon, all the creatures have to do is move inside that reach.

    Looking for Assassin Variant

    There was a book from Green Ronin for 3.0 that handled Assassins as a base class. I playtested it and it handled things as if the character was trained from birth. That might work. However he can be an Assassin using a base class that isn't Rogue ... it isn't easy to do but I've made one from...

    Logo Design

    Correct me if I am wrong however you've performed some kind of embossing of the text. The problem with this little filter trick is that the text needs to have very little detail to make it work correctly. The font you have chosen for Ubris is "fancy" and thus has a lot of little details that...

    *sigh*- can someone help me find this feat?

    The Prestige Class ability of Hide in Plain Sight also helps out.

    Building a Beastmaster

    Without using a House Rule you can try the Beastmaster Prestige Class from Complete Adventurer. It allows for multiple animal companions where each extra one is weaker than a standard one by a set number of levels. I think you can end up with 3 or 4 extra animal companions. Note that the...

    How to replace SR with equivalent save bonus?

    The other thing you need to take into account is that SR can save a creature from a spell even when the caster may have tanked their Save DCs. I'm using your CR10/SR21 creature and a 10th level caster here. In the example of the SR 21. A 10th level caster has 50% chance of penetrating with ANY...

    D&D FAQ gets it wrong?

    Hmm ... checking again ... I see what happened ... I was reading Complete Divine then reading Complete Arcane then ... and it got mixed up :) They were both open on my desk and I was scanning them and mixing up which was which and ... yeah :lol: I do own physical copies of both books so yeah...

    D&D FAQ gets it wrong?

    I've got Complete Arcane, page 82, it states as I typed barring the <snipped> part which has an example of how a multi-classed character gets a casting level equivalent to their character level. It is from the First Printing, November 2004. And it is in English.

    D&D FAQ gets it wrong?

    Posting the Feat text again with extra to make it clear. I have access to Complete Divine and Complete Arcane printings of the feat The problem here is that people are arguing based on taking either of the two paragraphs into account and not the whole. The first paragraph introduces the...

    D&D FAQ gets it wrong?

    Yeah I posted the feat text two posts ago and then just paraphrased the interpretation on the last post :) The end result is that Practiced Spellcaster is solely there to allow multi-classed casters to cast at their full level so that their magical "oomph" is in paralell with others of their level.

    D&D FAQ gets it wrong?

    No it is not correct. I don't know how people have interpreted Practiced Spellcaster as giving you equivalent caster levels. It only modifies spells you are casting.

    D&D FAQ gets it wrong?

    Unfortunately the Practiced Spellcaster feat cannot aid you to qualify for a PrC. Why? Note that the +4 bonus is only for the spells you cast from the specified class. It does not increase your caster level unless you are casting a spell from your class. If this feat has been reworded in some...

    Healer character who isn't a cleric

    Everyone's suggestions are good ... and they cover the "obvious" things except for the binder ... fantastic idea. You could also try Book of Nine Swords and take the Devoted Spirit path. A lot of its maneuvers heal when you strike an enemy. Now that would surprise everyone to no end. You are...

    [ToB] Crusader

    Kmart Kommando is correct ... from pg. 10 of BoNS ... just below table on left hand side of page. You need to read the whole paragraph not the first line which allows abuse by omission (TM)

    [Book of Nine Swords] Bloodstorm Blade

    Greetings, Just wondering about the bloodstorm blade's returning ability and the cost to activate it. Do you expend a maneuver everytime you throw a weapon you want return to you or do you expend a maneuver at the start of combat to turn a single weapon into a returning one for the duration? TIA

    Logistics of staking a vampire?

    However a vampire is not a character :P Hehehehe ... I allow certain liberties to occur when characters come up with what I think are decently thought out plans. The rules are sometimes too strict. A pinned character is immobile ... in my opinion immobility for the vampire in question is good...

    Logistics of staking a vampire?

    Maybe I'm missing something here, but IMC the way this kind of thing is handled during combat is generally: Fighter jumps on Vampire and Grapples, next couple of characters jump on to assist and Pin, last character goes for the stake in the heart which is pretty much coup de grace style (FOR...

    Attention Powergamers!

    Making the assumption you are Chaotic Good (since you have to be evil or chaotic for a warlock) ... If you read the book of exalted deeds, exalted arcane spell casters avoid casting evil spells at all costs. Indeed Baleful Utterance uses Dark Speech from the Book of Vile Darkness ... thus it is...
