    WotBS Hi Morrus, whatever happened to bonus items from WotBS 3.5 pre-orders?

    Seeing as it's been almost a year since this thread was last updated, and that the issue it addressed was items that were already over a year late at that time, I'm guessing nothing's going to happen with this. Kind of a bummer, I wanted to read Blackdirge's story, but it's not like there's not...

    Welcome to the Halmae (updated 2/27/07)

    Can you share what you've been working on? I watch some television, it'd be nice to know something I enjoy in that medium was created by someone who has created something else I enjoy in this medium.

    Use Magic Device limitations

    Perhaps the problem is with your conceptualization of "nothing". You should check out Sep's story hour. From your statement I infer you're using a definition of nothing which is essentially "no thing". That's not the only meaning of the word... :) And it happens all the time, doesn't it...

    Use Magic Device limitations

    No, the +15 is a permanent competence bonus on a ring, and the market price (22,500 gp) has been determined from the rules for estimating magic item prices, which can be found at Creating Magic Items :: d20srd.org Additionally, if you check the basics of Epic Magic Items section of the SRD at...

    Use Magic Device limitations

    Yeah, the ring isn't that tough to acquire. Market price of 22,500 gp means a base price of 11,250 gp and an XP cost of 900. My warlock's artificer cohort has all the cost-reducing feats from the Eberron campaign setting, so for him to create this ring would take 17 days, cost 8437.5 gp and...

    Use Magic Device limitations

    Got it, I'm on the same page with you now. :) Yes, by maxing out UMD and having my artificer cohort enchanting one of my rings with UMD +15, my warlock has a UMD modifier of +42 at level 18 (21 ranks, +15 competence bonus from ring, +6 charisma modifier). So taking 10 gives me a check of 52...

    Use Magic Device limitations

    I kind of figured you meant power level, that's what the ";)" was for. I kind of agree, but I don't get a good sense of limitations from RAW. Not sure I'm understanding this, the check to emulate a class feature is a straight DC 20. The effective CL for that feature is UMD check - 20. At...

    Mathematically wrong or wrong from a power perspective? ;)

    Use Magic Device limitations

    I apologize if this topic has been discussed previously, I tried to search for existing threads but for some reason the search page is just hanging and returning nothing at the moment... I'm playing a warlock in a high level (17+) game, and I've been very pleased with the usefulness of UMD...

    I Don’t Care What WotC is Doing

    Good one! "When I die, I hope I go peacefully in my sleep like my grandpa. Not screaming in terror like his passengers."

    I'd be happy to hear just who was chosen as the archmage of the academy...talk about a cliffhanger...

    D&D 3.x 3.5 Warlock Feats...precise shot etc

    Actually, by RAW, a 1 isn't an automatic failure on a skill check (and a 20 isn't an automatic success). You can check this at Using Skills :: d20srd.org, the last sentence in the second paragraph under "Skill Checks". That's not to say that your DM won't house rule it. I know some players...

    Ridiculous Characters?

    We played in a campaign in which the DM allowed us to use Savage Species rules a few years back. In that game, the most interesting build - don't want to call it ridiculous - was played by a friend who made a feral mineral warrior anthropomorphic baleen whale. Now THAT was an unusual...

    Speaking of which... ;) Hey Sagiro & gang, just wanted to say that I'm still really enjoying this Story Hour, your ongoing adventures are just awesomely fun to read! :) Can't wait to see how this battle turns out...if the past is any indicator, the Black Circle invaders will regret their...

    Epic Warlocks

    Just a heads up, the stuff on Epic Warlocks on the Wizards' site is more up to date than what's in the Complete Arcane book due to errors in printing. Specifically, I believe that the book gives an incorrect listing for advancement of damage from the eldritch blast, whereas the web page...

    Favorite Class

    I'd say that my favorite classes are: 1. warlock (LOVE mobility, and by 8th level with Fell Flight & Flee the Scene, the warlock has it in spades. Include Eldritch Spear and you can spend all day hovering above your ground-bound enemies, picking 'em off while you're at least two weapon...

    A little help finding something...

    Hi, some time back I remember reading something - not necessarily on ENWorld, tho it may have been mentioned here - about a challenge to create a character and/or team that could raid the Fortress of Dis. The challenge included the rules and allowed features for carrying out the goal. Does...
