I just finished re-reading this story hour - mostly from the 914-page PDF (thanks Steve!!) - and finally through the end of the thread. It doesn't lose a thing on repetition, and if anything is even more entertaining! :) Thanks to all of you for sharing your awesome game on this board! I'd...

Absolutely correct - if your resources for mitigating factors are limited. But if you have an unlimited supply of spellcasters to participate in a ritual, then theoretically there's no limit to how high you could boost any attribute or the power of an epic spell. And if you use alter reality...

I've been reading the epic and divine rules a lot since following this thread, and the one thing I can't seem to get past (in my munchkinizing mind) is the idea that epic spellcasting deities with Alter Reality as a salient divine ability could make their impulses permanent, right? Not that it...

Which would be believable for her character, since she also was kicking butt when they invited her to play Halo while Leonard was out with Leslie Winkle. ;)

Honestly, I think it's easier to adjudicate if you simply rule that the school limitations of shadow conjuration still apply. If you're powerful enough to cast Shades in the first place, why do you need to use it as a nerfed, glitchy version of lower-level spells? If, on the other hand, you're...

There's an old Rules of the Game article that touches on (though does not explicitly address) this issue, and in it I saw this: "You and your animal companion can share effects from magic items only if the effect is a spell that you can target on yourself. For example, you and your animal...

I'd say that the gestalt is probably only worth +2 or +3 to the CR of the BBEG. If that. The thing about gestalt is that while it opens up a lot of options for the character, it doesn't increase the number of actions they receive. So he'll not be much better than a pure warblade OR pure...

I'm still in the stages of reading the print version (got the PDF a while ago, but never liked long term reading in that format). I have to say that I'm very impressed with the work put into this product! Thank you! :) I don't know if I'll be playing with it anytime soon, but our GM is...

I've had a chance to re-read the section in the Feats chapter in the PHB and it states under the section "Effects of Metamagic Feats on a Spell" that "In all ways, a metamagic spell operates at its original spell level, even though it is prepared and cast as a higher-level spell." Since no...

Thanks for the replies, I think that they help clarify everything for me except the whole issue of caster level for SDAs when relevant. Specifically, Alter Reality lets the deity duplicate any spell of 9th level or lower as a standard action. If the duplicated spell has an effect based on...

1) At what caster level do relevant salient divine abilities operate? For example, Alter Reality behaves similar to a wish in its basic mode, and can mimic any 9th or lower level spell. But at what caster level does this spell effect occur? Generally I use the deity's character level (if any)...

I just went to look at ordering and I'm not seeing any links that I saw yesterday with the PayPal option to purchase. Is the page/system being updated? I'll check back later, but if you could maybe update this thread I'd appreciate it. Thanks! :) UPDATE: OK, went back in a while ago and...

How long will the $125 price be available? Not sure I can afford that right today, but in a few days' time it might be feasible. Perhaps you can add a date to indicate when that option will no longer be available? I'd hate to just pop by expecting to use it and find it gone.

Thanks Sagiro, this story hour is great! :) But I have to warn you, if you continue making frequent updates I'm going to start EXPECTING them! ;)

Seemed like a good time to bump this again. Any info on this issue Morrus? Hate to sound like a broken record and all, but it has been well over a year since the 3.5 pre-order hardcover color editions of WotBS shipped.

Epic-logue please? :)

Hmm, if that's what you're getting from it maybe I should modify my post. My question was about the 5000 XP/use cost of Alter Reality in Ortwine's description. The comments about how awesome it is and why every deity wouldn't have it were more of an observation on its utility and not a theory...

Hi Sep, I saw this as I was backtracking through this thread and wishing I could play in a game with this much fun! :) But I was curious about this XP cost for Alter Reality. I see no mention of such costs in the description of the SDA in the Deities & Demigods book (3.0) nor the online SRD...

I saw the thread on the NG forums after following the thread in General Discussion about "Whatever Happened to Necromancer Games?" I'm definitely interested in this announcement and plan to buy a subscription. :)

Another good literature-based song is Blue Oyster Cult's Black Blade. Definitely worth a check, especially the version on Extraterrestrial Live.
