Ok, the final version being used Medium armor proficiency (but with spell failure) HD d8 Base attack as cleric Good will & fort save spells known & castable as bard and at 7th: No spell failure when casting hex blade spells while in medium armor B:]B

My wife is not very experienced in DnD mechanics, though she has gamed for some time now. She errs on the side of kindness, something I'm trying to fix. For example, the Mephit encounter, she said they initially melee with me - I convinced her to have them employ spell ability or breath weapon...

Hey, you folks saying that no solo-dungen gaming should be done, care to speak out on this soapbox? I am curious - not hostile, to your view. B:]B

Hey, I resemble that! Is your issue with gestalt in general, or the class mix itself? B:]B

That was my thinking. After skimming the CR ranges for typical modules, I leaned towards the 2nd level, since the absolute top CR would be 5th/6th there, vs a 6th/7th in a 3rd. I figured a lone EL 5 (4-4 gestalt) would have a poor survivability in a CR 6, and while no chance vs a CR 7...

..........Holy Cr@p! 4th level module - I didn't expect anyone to choose this option! With 2 choices at this dungeon level, perhaps I should open my eyes more. Might I ask, how/why balanced at 4th? As to the 'no solo dungeon' - I assume you have an alternative suggestion for solo dm'ing...

Crothian: I considered the game, and thought I'd mention this... A 2nd level fighter in banded mail with a large shield and a 12 dex has a ac 19, as would a chainmail wearing 14 dex fighter. As a 2nd level character gets 900 gp, this does not seem to be an extreme ac. Most of my foes rolled...

Per the 'Am I a bamboozler?' thread - this is an attempt to get quick feedback so I have an answer when I see my wife tonight! I recently convinced my dm to run me in a solo game. My character is a gestalt hex warrior – war mage of 4/4, and I was run through a 2nd level dungeon. Did I bamboozle...

Drats! Crothian: Damn! I thought I'd estimated the power balance fairly! Hmm, perhaps I should surrender the treasure gained and drop xp to 1/4! I almost died on the 1st round I dealt with the mephits - they were 3.0, so each fired 2 magic missiles at me - luck allowed me to have a few hp...

I recently convinced my dm to run me in a solo game. My character is a gestalt hex warrior – war mage of 4/4, and I was run through a 2nd level dungeon. Did I bamboozle the dm (was it a fair dungeon level to run me through, or was I too high a level)? I’m wondering, as I went through it...

How about as a house rule: If you know all the core spells in your specialty when you are gaining your 2 spells for going up a level, you may learn a spell from any castable school, rather then being restricted due to your specialty. If their are core spells in your specialization that you do...

Here's the stuff as I have it. I arranged them by school. Oh, any more ideas? I've put it on the back burner for a few days, but plan to return to it soon. B:]B

Hmm. I thought the lack of cost (no level cost or prep time required) made up for the lack of power - specialists can modify spells as early as 1st level (though the DC is pretty killer), sorcerers w/out having to spend a full round, and wizards w/out needing to plan ahead of time. Ok, any...

Given that, how do you think it balances with the feat Reduce Spell Area (General, Magic), from post 31? B:]B

Greater Fake Death - I like this feat very much – but I’d have it give a +2 save against death effects instead of or in addition to the ability to kill yourself. Gatekeeper - I agree with you, I’d say use opposed caster level checks to oppose summoning – a very easy mechanic. I'll redo my...

Roman, what do you think? Concentrated Explosion (Meta-Magic) - Roman Prerequisite: Evocation specialist or Spell Focus Evocation, and either Greater Spell Focus Evocation or Sculpt Spell. Benefit: You focus your area effect evocation spell so that the majority of the energy is centered on a...

Is it a general feat, or a meta magic? B:]B

Er - no. Perhaps at 30th? I assume humor - but if not..... the familiars from improved familiar are of size small or less, while the samples in the complete warrior go up to large - but these familiars require not only a caster level, but a high base attack as well. So - if your serious, I'd...

Roman, cool feats! :cool: Fake Death – I’m rather fond of this feat! It has a very 'master necromancer trick' feal to it! I’d make it a free action useable on another creatures initiative, even if you have already acted (so you can respond to the sword thrust by falling right after being...

Eye of the Storm (General, Magic) - Bob Prerequisite: Evocation specialist or the feats Spell Focus & Greater Spell Focus w Evocation. Benefit: When you are caught in the area of effect of evocation spells you cast, you save for ¼ damage and take ½ upon a failed save. Even evocation spells...
