    Encounter Levels for large parties

    Thats the great thing about the calculator, instead of doubling the amount of creatures, you could add 1-3 levels or CR to the focus baddie, and then increase the mooks by 1/3 again as many, plug it into the calculator and see how challenging it is :) Its all about juggling around what might...

    Simple question about surprise

    I believe by RAW that you can't ready an action outside of combat. Seeing as combat doesn't start til you roll initiative, then your ruling was correct and what I would've done if I were in your situation. Cheers, E

    High AC Barbarian

    From the SRD about Whirling Frenzy Does this mean that the Barb doesn't have to take a full attack action to get this bonus attack? Say a 5th level Dwarf Barb, can move 30' and then attack twice? Sounds like awesomesauce to me!! Cheers, E

    High AC Barbarian

    *yoink* might give this a shot for an NPC concept I had :) How about 6 of these guys running around all over the place? Watch out for your ankles!! Cheers, E

    Anyone else tried this - PvP Arena!

    I was thinking of doing this exact same thing, except that there would only be two of us during the day. Set out guidelines and make the characters, best build wins :) Cheers, E

    Encounter Levels for large parties

    Oh one other thing that I have found while DMing a group with 6 players, sometimes its best to add more lower level creatures to challenge them rather than increase the power of the already existing creatures. I find that my 6 PCs can just murder single large creatures that are quite a bit more...

    Encounter Levels for large parties

    There are some really good xp/challenge calculators out there in excel format that do a really nice job of estimating challenges relative to the party. If the intellegent magic items are highly above norm then I would give each character +1 ECL. Don't add anymore ECL due to large party size...

    High AC Barbarian

    Loving the revisions, if I were to build one I would definately go the 16 Dex route with medium armor and get Mithril Fullplate eventually when money allowed :) Now if you all had to pick a race, what would it be? Dwarf? Cheers, E

    Strength based monks?

    I just finished introducing my new NPC a Gestalt Voidmind Shifter Monk/Druid with the shifter druid racial substitution levels. Needless to say fully buffed he had a Str and Dex of around 22-24 and was rolling 2d10 +Str for unarmed damage, with an AC around 44 was hard for the party of 6 lvl...

    Taking 10 on Knowledge checks... with more questions :D

    I will have to look up that feat, whats it called? Main reason this is powerful is due to the Dark Knowledge and Knowledge Devotion combo, up to +8 attack and +5 damage :) or more depending on the situation. Basically I need to be able to make DC 36 Knowledge checks to get the +5 bonus from...

    Taking 10 on Knowledge checks... with more questions :D

    Shoo you :p This is more an exercise of how to completely break Galthron if all sources were allowed :) I know what the restrictions are, just wanted to see what was possible outside of the current campaign as a gauge. Plus there is the whole allowing things outside the regular books on a one...

    High AC Barbarian

    Ah kk, thanks. Thought I had missed something, none of my players ever use a Tower Shield and I have never built NPCs with them. Maybe I need to start :) Cheers, E

    Dodge + Midnight Dodge + Elusive Target

    Believe me, with Blarg's current Crusader/Rogue build, dodge is nothing to laugh at, it routinely has my bad guys getting gimped :( Cheers, E PS. Blarg email me the text from the book so I can take a look at it? Sucks not having access to anything up here.

    High AC Barbarian

    How well would that scale up to say about 8th or 10th level? Love the fact that barbarians don't always need to have a crap AC while raging. Currently in the campaign I DM, the PC barbarian is my most likely target while he is raging... :] Mainly due to the fact that even with the party's...

    Grapple Question

    Both are correct, the only time you have a chance of hitting your ally in a grapple is if you are using a ranged attack (bows, xbow, rays, etc.) Cheers, E

    Taking 10 on Knowledge checks... with more questions :D

    Taking that many levels in rogue won't help me, hence taking Exemplar at 11th level for Skill Mastery. What are the prereqs for Savvy Rogue? Cheers, E

    Light Sources - Best Bang for Your Buck

    Gloves of the Starry Sky out of MIC allow you to cast magic missle 3/day as well as emit a Light spell that can be turned on or off. Dont have the book with me for the cost, think its 2000gp. Cheers, E

    Taking 10 on Knowledge checks... with more questions :D

    Okies got a secondary question now :) What are different ways for a Dread Necro/Archivist to increase all his knowledge checks? I am thinking of picking up the Knowledge domain with the feat that allows divine casters to take a domain (whats it called again? No books with me here). I have...
