In Excel: COMBIN(m,n) = m choose n, and FACT(n) = n!.

Actually: Since Sum(C(m,n); n=0, ..., m) = 2^m, it follows that Sum(C(16,n); n=1, ...,16) = 2^16 - 1 = 65535. 16! is indeed a far larger number, approximately 2.09*10^13.

The side facing you, correct? Very elegant, IMHO, since there is no division, no re-rolling.

Or even Roeg. Yeesh.

Do they really? There is no such thing as a convex regular polyhedron with three sides, so I'm curious....

Agreed. One round will have elapsed between the first and second time the breath weapon is used.

Yeah, I think cavalier is good. Deadly Charge + even a little bit of optimization will be a good finishing move when something needs to go down now.

Well, a Medium mount isn't going to consistently overrun anything larger than Small, not to mention that targets can simply choose to side-step your overrun attempt. Occasionally, you might pull it off, but I'm not sure it's worth the considerable investment of resources (skills, feats and gp)...

Why do you want to max out EDL? Your Ranger isn't going to do anything but ride the badger, right? Once you have the EDL to get this mount, you don't really need to pump it at all. It would be far better, IMHO, to focus on getting Power Attack, Ride-By Attack, Spirited Charge, and anything...

:reads latest installment: :spits beer all over the screen: Oh gawd, here comes the money shot! God bless you, Captain_Commando. God bless you.

But...no one in their right mind would ever buy (or create) a potion of cure serious wounds, with or without healing belts on the shelf. And again, the fact that some items seem "questionable priced" is a reflection of the (IMHO) problem that some items are just way overpriced. Given the...

Aw, man! Someone put a quarter in the way-back machine! Mmmm, Chick Tracts.

You said it, brother. My heart skips a beat when this thread drops off the first page.

Strike one! Strike two! Swing battter, batter, swing!

"Nibleness" from MIC, p. 13. Price: +1 bonus. Max Dex bonus is 1 higher than normal and armor check penalty is reduced by 2. Edit: D'oh! milo beat me to the punch....

It's not so much modus operandi as it is intelligent play, both from the player's and the character's perspective. Given the choice, why go into a fight at anything less than 100%, when the consequences are that you (your character) may die? Why not give yourself the best chance of survival...

I'll echo roguerouge and suggest you look at some modules or adventure paths -- folks can give you suggestions if you let us know what you're looking for. There are some good ones and they do most of the work for you. Once you get used to running the show, you can always strike out on your...

I love this thread so much, I wanna have its baby.

Promise? ;) If you believe that the DMG pricing guidelines are infallible and sacrosanct, then yes, the MIC is pretty much as "borkenz!" as it gets. If, on the other hand, you suspect that there's something seriously wrong with the DMG pricing guidelines, then you may want to give the MIC...

Huh, I come to exactly the opposite conclusion. If basic healing implements are rare/expensive and the cleric is the only real source of healing, then I'll want to play pretty much anything but a cleric. I mean, most of the daily spells I choose will get converted into cures, and the rest...
