Compendium says it's from the Seekers of the Ashen Crown adventure.

...and then your very next post is how it's not clear what save disintegrate should use. Personally I would say polymorph. It is an alteration spell, after all - the target is turned to dust. It's no more death magic (which to me would mean necromancy - something that directly attacks the life...

There's also Shimmering Armor from AV, but it's cloth only.

I have a vague recollection of psionic bear-like creatures that live in the Forest Ridge, from the 2e DS monster supplements.

"Wand" is a special attack? My personal knock against 1e/2e saving throws is that the categories were nonsensical (why have a save for effect X or delivery method A but not Y or B? why are they in the order they're in?); the categories overlapped, requiring a special rule to determine which...

I am assuming they did this so that warlocks could make use of those spells and still have their minor action to place curses.

Aside from showcasing Cersei's manipulation, it also foreshadows future revelations in the incest plot (note her description of the child she lost).

Inherent bonuses are deliberately lower than what you would get with normal magic item distribution. According the designers, they set it up that way to make magic items found as treasure still attractive (at least that's what it says in the Dark Sun Campaign book). This! Defenders usually have...

I think that is very wise, and kudos to you for holding to that course in the face of her distress.

I'm with Stumblewyk in suggesting that you remove yourself from both women's lives. At least temporarily. Past the pain of seperating from Leela is, potentially, perspective on an emotionally-charged situation. I think you would be better off making a clear-headed decision about all of this, but...

To me, this is a bad idea for the simple reason that intelligent opponents are going to do everything in their power to prevent the mega-spell from going off. That means that (assuming there's a mechanism to 'interrupt' the mega-spell), casting the spell is going to be dicey - it might not go...

I feel like I'm not getting your point. You make it sound like you have to re-design every monster from the ground up, when in reality the difference between "old" and "new" monster numbers is a handful of numerical tweaks. * soldiers have their attack bonuses reduced by 2? * brutes have their...

I like it! Especially since they matched my own :) - aside from the gnome, revenant, and shadar-kai - which I think is a credit to the fluff behind most races, that the choices seemed obvious. And yay, we have Kalashtar who make good telepaths! (and Devas that make good paladins!) I am a little...

Thanks! I haven't read it yet, but I did want to compliment you on the impressive production values!

I don't think +X items are bad for the game. I just think that they're boring. I also believe that they contribute to the commoditization (if that's a word) of magic items. The magic weapons from fantasy or myths that I am familiary with (granted, hardly an exhaustive list) weren't known for...

I always thought that Eberron has some really interesting ideas for druids. There are five orders that are detailed: Gatekeepers - exist to fight aberrations and protect the natural world from their warping influence. Wardens - typical protector-types. Greensingers - hang out with the fey and...

Not to mention that (IIRC), Martin writes in the hardcover Feast for Crows, when explaining why half the characters wouldn't be appearing in it, that the next book was pretty much already written and mostly just needed editing. That was 5 and a half years ago. And it took him 5 years to write...

A Slayer doesn't need CON at all, unless it's for feat pre-reqs, because they have defender hit points. The thief is going to have higher damage totals when they hit with SA, but the slayer will be hitting more often, staying in the fight longer, and operating just fine without a flanking...

I think the rogue's assumptions are basically incompatible with the system. 4e combat centers around small groups, not lone wolves, and non-minion opponents are designed to not go out in one hit. Although I also wonder if that character has actually maxed out her bonuses, because killing a n-2...

I submit that the all-or-nothing nature of the OP is not a helpful way to look at things. The game wasn't always being played one way and isn't always being played a different way now. I'm an old-timer (been playing since 1980 or so) and have never been in an "adversarial" game. And if I tried...
