    Arcane Spell Failure (and reducing it)

    I don't know personal preference perhaps but I've found a lot of his stuff is too open for abuse/not balanced. Granted I haven't looked at my books of Eldritch Might since the 3.0 printing, however I do remember a lot of the spells being extremely powerful compared to like-level spells...

    How to make an "Indiana Jones" type character

    First take a Gnome, right. Call the character Indiana. And you have Indiana Gnome. Old joke aside, the Bard suggestions are pretty spot on. You don't have to remove the magical abilities just use a bit of gray matter to make it fit. For example, Indy inspires courage (stupidity some might...

    Arcane Spell Failure (and reducing it)

    Once again, I don't want the armour for protection. At our current level (8th) most fighting monsters are going to be able to hit me anyway, mage armour or otherwise. However I like the look of elven chain in the DMG on the female elf. It has a sleek, I'm important look. As for Books of...

    Arcane Spell Failure (and reducing it)

    We are playing "by the rules" and I'm happy for Spell Failure to exist. It isn't a big deal for me. We also have a standing rule (which I agree with as well) that hard copy must be available to use something. So a feat must exist in an approved sourcebook for example. And currently I don't...

    Arcane Spell Failure (and reducing it)

    Thanks for all the posts. I wanted a Wizard's options (plenty given), since the Warmage is too restrictive for what I wanted, and their armour ability only allows them to cast from their own spells not from another class. Twilight sounds like a good candidate (depending on cost / adjustment)...

    Arcane Spell Failure (and reducing it)

    Core or non-core doesn't matter as long as I can get a reference. It is related to a Wizard so the bard information, although great, is a little off. D

    Healer/Medic Class Combo?

    I recently played a Healer, and the party desperately needed one. The following feats I found helped a lot: Spontaneous Healing (??) allows the dropping and casting of spells (limited number of times but enough). I think it was in Book of Exalted deeds (??) Augment Healing in Complete Divine...

    Arcane Spell Failure (and reducing it)

    Greetings All, I was wondering what methods are there of reducing Arcane Spell Failure. For example Elven Chain reduces it by 10% for Chainmail. Are there any feats? Armour qualities? Magic Items? or anything that can do this? D

    What gods do you NEED?

    One god. The longer I have played any form of roleplaying, the more I have found that a single god/power/what have you worshipped in different aspects is certainly enough and doesn't force players to choose from a restricted list of domains. Thus you can have any weird combination of domains...

    Because I couldn't resist a good flame war - the programming language debate

    As noted previously, it would all depend on what he seems to want to do. Hardware support techies make a decent wage/living repairing corporate machines and demand a fair amount of respect (at least in my country and current workplace). The fact that he put his machine together himself means...

    I've got a rep!

    Undead creations and clerics who make them Large Floating Orbs and their little known brethren Illithid brain hunters with mental sting These are a few of my favourite things. D

    GM Dilemma

    If you didn't outline your campaign premise clearly enough you should do so again. If you did, and they had somehow got the opinion they could be the non-knights then go with it. Have the actual knights hunting them down for being evil, lawless creatures. "Do you yield and acquiesce to the...

    Roll Call: calling all Australian Enworld members

    Sydney here as well. Currently running a 1/month game with 4 players. I play in another every 3 week game on Monday nights (I'm taking a break from DMing that one). Lot of players in that one ... I think its up to 6 if I'm not mistaken (missed last night's session due to commitments). Trying...

    How Much input do your Players Have

    My players have input, however I do have final say of what makes it in. For example: if you wanted to be from a small village in one of the northern kingdoms that I didn't have a "marker" for, you can go ahead and outline the village, its residents, perhaps produce, however I will go over it...

    Mac OS X Tiger

    As mentioned I jumped from 10.2 to 10.4 Even at educational prices I find it hard to spend $100+ Australian on an OS when the older OS was doing just fine. The main reason I upgraded was because I had to reprogram the airport I bought to make the wife happy (she didn't like the cables running...

    Mac OS X Tiger

    Yes for educational prices, I get them too. Apple has one of the best educational support schemes that I know of in the PC market (PC as in personal computer). I'm quite enjoying the new OS, however I'm still iffy about the interface. That side bar is getting to me, and hiding it doesn't make...

    Mac OS X Tiger

    I have no software "built for 10.4" In fact I doubt that it exists. Things I've noticed thus far that have been great: I don't go and install everything I used when I reinstall an OS, just as I need it. GIMP Print drivers are included in the installation. I am using an old HP Laserjet 4L...

    Mac OS X Tiger

    Greetings All, thought I'd post my initial impressions of the latest OS. I received it on the day of release (29th April) here in Australia at around 10am. I was home from work sick, so I didn't make it to the door for the delivery guy, but being the conscientious retard that he was, he left...
