    Greatest Villain Every

    Davros (Doctor Who) Track Record: Creator of the Daleks who spread destruction and terror through time and space, betrayer of his people. Success Rate: Very successful. How close to Winning: Very close, if not for some timely "Doctor Ex Machina" all of reality would have been destroyed...

    9th level spell Shades

    For me the spell looks to be lazily worded. If it's intended to allow the caster to mimic any 8th level or lower sorcerer or wizard conjuration spell, then it would have been very easy to include the word "any" in the spell description between "mimics" and "sorcerer". On the other hand, the...

    9th level spell Shades

    For whatever reason the search function keeps giving me a memory error, so although I'm sure this must have been discussed before I'm posting anyway to try to find an answer in a timely fashion. I've read a number of threads that discuss the applicability of the magic of the spell Shades, which...

    dnd 3.5 - Challenge my party.

    I think that some of the suggestions here are excellent, although the advice to beware of doing things that simply anger the players is wise. Disjunction is one of the ways to anger any group, especially in a game like 3.5 where so much of the characters' power comes in the form of magic items...

    JollyDoc's Curse of the Crimson Throne: Updated 1/29/10

    Awesome! :) That was so much fun to read, I can only imagine how great it was to play. It's always cool when the bad guys face their comeuppance... I haven't read CotCT (in case my DM ever wants to run it), how close are you getting to the end? Whatever it is, please keep up the great...

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

    Thanks Morrus, I appreciate the info. Sorry to resort to such an obnoxious subject line, I pay enough attention to the site to know you have a lot going on. :)

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

    Hi, the subject line basically says it all. Been looking for a comment on this topic for over a week and haven't seen anything. Thanks for any info.

    FRINGE #4:Momentum Deferred/Season 2/2009

    I really liked seeing Olivia down the mixture of flatworms Walter instructed Astrid to prepare, she's one tough woman! :) Her unflinching resolve is appealing. Some have written that they find Anna Torv's acting to be wooden, but I personally believe that she does a great job portraying a...

    heres a newb question...

    I hope this helps, if you have more specific questions not answered here by all means post them! :) From the online SRD at SRD - Combat: ARMOR CLASS Your Armor Class (AC) represents how hard it is for opponents to land a solid, damaging blow on you. It’s the attack roll result that an...

    Official status of deliveries?

    Just wanted to pop in and check on this thread to see if I can get an answer, I was one of the first ten to pre-order the WotBS full color hardback last year, and while I got the book months ago (and it's TOTALLY AWESOME!!) I was also looking for that bonus that was mentioned. Haven't heard...

    PF Bestiary - change of date!

    I received my "we'll be shipping in the next week or so" email yesterday evening, so I'm thinking that, based on past experience, I'll be seeing the stuff some time before Halloween. But as previously mentioned, I'll get my hands on the PDF the day of shipping, and I'm totally psyched for that! :)

    Guess what I've got!

    Hmm, been a few days since I've posted this...any way to bring it to Morrus' attention? If anyone reads this and can nudge Morrus to take a look at this thread, please do so, I'd like to discuss the pre-orders for the WotBS 3.5 full color print edition hardback and bonus.

    Guess what I've got!

    I'd forgotten about this mostly, just today saw the downloadble version of Metamorphosis and realized, "Hey, I was supposed to get a copy of that with my WotBS pre-order!" So that's why I'm posting this, just wondering if that stuff has dropped off the radar or something. Thanks for any info...

    Standard DM behavior?

    This is an interesting thread. To the OP, I believe that there is a communication problem within your group in terms of the rules in use. When I DM I'm pretty freewheeling with allowing almost any source for feats, spells, items, etc. However, I have veto power over any of these things, and I...

    Appeal to Support EN World!

    Subscribed. I don't post here extremely often, but I'm reading the forums pretty much every day I'm at a computer. $3 a month for this site is a bargain! :)

    Factotum - Should I allow it?

    If you do allow the player to take the class, please check out this Wizards page for some nice info on the class, as well as the awesomely useful Font of Inspiration feat. A factotum isn't a full time front line warrior by any means, but by careful use of inspiration points he can get in a few...

    Privateer puts their books out in PDF!

    Nice to see great products return, even if in PDF format. But the pricing I'm seeing - $30 a pop - no way I can see clear to spending that much.

    Curious but lazy

    Some very nice numbers here for damage output, which makes me wonder - how is it that this idea of "grind" came about? Is it due to the very large HP totals of opponents, such that despite doing 30+ points per hit it will take 20 or 30 hits to bring the BBEG down? Or is there some other...

    Curious but lazy

    Cool info, thanks for the replies! :) This is exactly the type of information I was searching for, and helps me see what I was missing in my dabbling. Clearly the detailed interaction of powers, feats and (to some extent) items helps make what seemed to me like pretty meager damage potential...

    Curious but lazy

    I've been reading some of the threads that talk about grind in 4e. I'm a player who is currently sticking with 3.5/Pathfinder, and have recently just finished running a game over the summer using the Beta/PFRPG rules. I dabbled with 4e when it first came out - I can't say I gave it too much of...
