    Characters defined by "their stuff"

    Achilles was completely invulnerable except for his heel, right ? Does the legend explain why he needed super-duper armor, shield and helmet then ? :D

    Do paladins work in most games?

    :eek: Wow. This has made me think of a theory. Maybe the problem isn't paladins so much as players writing NG on their character sheets when they really want to play CN or N. This seems to be a very common attitude these days. I mean, you'd think that if the whole party is good, and played as...

    A Critique of the LotR BOOKS

    Since not reading this thread requires exactly 0 effort on your part, it would be much more appropriate to say that you are the flasher in this example, dude.

    Could Predistigation turn sea water into fresh

    I agree. If not, then everyone will be totally dependent on wizards to survive. Unless you want to base your whole campaign around that, then you need to plan for mundane solutions. In fact, sea water in a fantasy world does not need to be salty at all. That's what I'd do. :) This website...

    Why are things immune to crits?

    But Metallian, that is modelled already by randomly rolling damage.

    Asking the Experts: Best Metamagic Feat?

    And that's why Silent Spell is the best "oh, no, you're not screwing my schtick that easily" metamagic feat. Every high level wizard should have at least two silent dimension door spells prepared at all times. :)

    Ice Storm... Full round?

    Since the spell only mentions damage, not damage per round, I'm not certain that lengthening the duration would result in more damage.

    SHARK To Be Published!

    Well, he's not dead or anything of the sort - he has posted on Nutkinland a few times in the last months. But he seems to be very busy these days. He did lose the content of his hard drive including everything he had been working on. That was, oh, something like a year ago, maybe ? Probably...

    How do you hurt a Colossus?

    Since the archons' light beams only have a range of 30 feet, wouldn't they just wink out as they reached the antimagic field ?

    Sharp Shooting vs. Imp Precise Shot FEATS??

    Also, you have to keep NPCs in mind, too. Most of them are not destined to ever make it above 6th level, so taking that feat might make sense for them. It's kinda like Sword and Fist's Dirty Fighting feat, which is almost never appropriate for PCs, but is great for low level grunts. Did it make...

    CR 10 Tornado? ::blink::

    I'd say it's like a trap, so yes. Unless it was never a credible threat in the first place, of course.

    Paladins of Wee Jas?

    I have always seen Wee Jas as more of a goddess of magic than a goddess of death, personally. The dilemma could still be applied to Kelemvor, the FR god of death. He is solidly LN and I think his clerics all use positive energy. But personally, I have problems wrapping my head around...

    The PC's are Dragons - How to run it?

    I wonder what B.A.D.D. would think of dragon PCs. :)

    I agree. Poor monkeys, they get no love. Well, except for hot monkey-love, of course.

    DR bypassing weapons

    Dude, I completely glossed over those ! :eek: Sorry. :) I stand by my composite DR, though ! :D

    DR bypassing weapons

    And DR X/Good and Cold Iron (i.e. Mariliths and Balors, pretty much) And DR X/Law or Chaos.:D

    D&D 3.x [3.5] How many times can I try to pick a lock?

    In effect, if the DC of a lock is within 20 points of your Open Locks bonus, then it is within your reach and you will get it open eventually (or in two minutes in you take 20). Rolling for Open Locks is only necessary when time is of the essence or there are monsters on the other side that...

    D&D 5E (2014) What feat next? :)

    There ought to be nice things to do with Chain Spell. I know you can chain greater magic weapon to buff all the party (as well as magicking many many arrows :)). There must be other nice cleric spells to chain, too.

    Chrisis Over for now. (I'm going insane! Need help from my friends!)

    Okay, is it just me or isn't this the worst reason EVAR ?

    Wish/Ltd Wish & Class Skills.......

    How about a level (or more) of Loremaster ? I'd give it to sorcerers, but not to wizards. They derive their magic from study, yet do not study clerical magic and so on. :) Which contradicts and/or is contradicted by the fact that Loremasters get the skill, now that I think about it.
