    Aeon (updated 10/9/14)

    Based on that stat block, Visuit is quite the nasty customer - if you're planning to go toe to toe against her. But a cursory glance at her stats seems to show that she'd be at a loss if attacked by artillery with the power to punch through her defenses. Then she could slip into the plane of...

    Salient Divine Abilities - what caster level should be used?

    Thanks for the replies and insight, everyone. I think that HD + divine rank is probably a decent starting point for such considerations. The specific example of Alter Reality allows consideration of the possible situations in which caster level would be relevant - using Alter Reality to mimic...

    Salient Divine Abilities - what caster level should be used?

    Within the last few months I've read the excellent story hour that starts in the thread http://www.enworld.org/forum/story-hour/58227-tales-wyre-06-12-09-update.html and continues in the current story hour Viridity and Saizhan by Sepulchrave (awesome work, BTW). Reading about some of the epic...

    Magic: the Gathering - Duels of the Planeswalkers

    Yep, it has lots of room for improvements, that's for sure. But it's one of those games that's great for killing a few minutes here and there without getting too involved (like I am with Dragon Age: Origins lately!!). Runestar, I'm not sure what you're referring to with the deckbuilding...

    Magic: the Gathering - Duels of the Planeswalkers

    Hi, I recently downloaded and have been playing this game, and I was wondering if any other ENWorlders are familiar with it. It's not a bad interface and experience for the price, although there are issues that could be improved upon. Anyway, for like $10 or so it's a reasonable deal, but...

    Custom Epic Spell: Any Naruto Fans Here?

    In the downtime between our recent sessions I've been speculating (ok, fantasizing) about what I could do with my character if taken to extreme (like level 100). Epic spells are part of that, and I've started creating some very simple ones: Complete Dispelling Abjuration Spellcraft DC:129...

    D&D 3.x 3.5E - is the warlock underpowered?

    Cool to see this thread again, I'd forgotten it since posting last year. In that time the warlock I've been running in a Shackled City game has advanced to level 16 (DARK invocations, yes!!). He's hardly what I'd call optimized from a combat perspective - Swimming the Styx and Call of the...

    Warlock + Project Image = blasty fun?

    Hello, I've been trying to think of new ways to leverage combat advantage for my warlock, and it occurred to me that Project Image might be a viable option. After running an aboleth NPC during the summer I realized that it was capable of using its spell-like abilities via the image it projects...

    Warlock needs guidance!

    I think the advice here has been very good so far. I personally like mobility in my warlock, so I took spiderwalk and eldritch spear as my least invocations, along with see the unseen (sooo useful to have darkvision). If you're going to go with the Hideous Blow invocation, then you should...

    Probably an Obvious Warlock Question

    Hi Shin, do you have a reference link for this? I'm playing in a Shackled City game and we might just make it to epic levels. It'd be great to have a feat to improve my number of attacks. :) Thanks!

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

    Just wondering if there's been any movement on this issue since the last posting. I haven't seen anything, so I thought I'd track down this thread again...thanks in advance for any info.

    Giving Experience Points - where's the icon?

    I get it now! :) Thanks to you both, have some XP ;)

    Giving Experience Points - where's the icon?

    Hi, I've received a few experience points over the last few months (and thank you to those of you who've granted them! :)) but I cannot figure out how to give them. I read in the FAQ that I should be able to click an icon to make that happen, but I'm not seeing it. Is it something only select...

    Dimensional Lock vs. Spell Resistance

    Cool, thanks for the reply. I thought it would work that way, but the combo really hasn't come up before. :)

    Dimensional Lock vs. Spell Resistance

    Hi folks, tried to do some searching but I keep getting an error page... :confused: I'm trying to figure out how an area under a dimensional lock would affect a creature with spell resistance. Would the creature be subject to a check on entering the area, and if it fails the creature can...

    A D&D relationship issue

    I am utterly appalled at the tenor and content of the responses on this thread! Not one of you has asked the OP the relevant question: Is Jane hot? If yes, by all means invite her to the game, but beware that she may just end up distracting the other players. If not, then I suppose some of...

    Does caster know the duration of her Time Stop?

    Ah, good catch, thanks for that. Intensify Spell is the feat I'd rather use. Maybe you can help with my math here. Intensify Spell raises the spell level to 16, which means that the minimum caster level is 27 (spell level + 11, per the epic rules). So then the item cost would be 16 x 27 X...

    Does caster know the duration of her Time Stop?

    Thank you for the reply! :) Actually we've been off our game schedule of late, so as an exercise in futility I've been calculating epic abilities for my warlock. The feats and stuff were interesting, but once I used Excel to calculate character wealth up to arbitrary levels it became obvious...

    Does caster know the duration of her Time Stop?

    I have a sort of related question, not about caster knowledge but about duration. How long does a maximized extended Time Stop last? Based on the combination of maximize and empower for damage spells, I'd expect a maximized extended Time Stop to last 5 (max) + 1d4+1 (extended) rounds, or 7-10...

    What do you call your company of adventurers?

    We're in the last few chapters of the Shackled City (3.5) game that we started back in 2007. When a reporter from the Cauldron Herald wanted to know who we were early on in the campaign, we were looking at competition with the Stormblades and a few other local adventuring groups. We finally...
