This isn't "flat out cannot access", this is limitations built into the setting. That is acceptable, assuming it isn't overused (note that if these sorts of guys are the plot villains, that exempts them from the overuse clause). Although I'd like to know why the PCs can't join said order...

What the spork? Assuming you're talking about humanoids, like the PCs, in what way is it NOT unfair that they can do things that the PCs just flat-out cannot access? Goose and gander law people, what possible justification is there for this sort of nonsense?

Good cleric of Wee Jas can channel positive energy. LN clerics, unlike other Neutrals, don't get a choice, and must channel negative.

What are you on? Polymorph got BETTER, since it now grants you the type you assume the form of (hello Plant immunities!), and Haste became WHAT IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN ALL ALONG. Extra actions is not something a 3rd level spell should be granting. Heck, its not something a 6th level spell should...

Just on the matter of Wee Jas not having the Death domain, that's because they gave her the Repose domain instead. The problem was that evil characters aren't permitted in Living Greyhawk, and a lot of GMs can be real hard-aXXes about casting [Evil] spells, claiming that doing so makes you...

My take on unofficial but useful abbreviations. Healer: Hlr Marshall: Msh Hexblade: Hxb Samurai: Sam Swashbuckler: Swb Favoured Soul: Fvs Shugenja: Sja Spirit Shaman: Shn Ninja: Nja Scout: Sct Spellthief: Stf Warlock: Wlk Warmage: Wmg Wu Jen: Wjn

I thought it was great. I cracked up when I saw it.

That... Is... So... Freaking... COOL!

Its pretty simple AFAIC. He withdraws, cops the attack of opportunity as he passes through the last square of the Golem's threatened area, and that's all there is to it. The Phantom Steed was conjured for an ally, cannot fight, and thus is, for all intents and purposes, an ally. It doesn't...

From the god-awful Disney film of the same name, and defined by 8-Bit Theatre. Essentially it's a silly name for exploitations based on "but it doesn't say you can't!". If you go strictly by the rules, and leave any form of sanity at the door, when you polymorph/shapechange/whatever, you keep...

I'd have a lot more respect if it didn't rely on the greatest "Air Bud clause" exploit of all time, repeated polymorph type effects stacking.

OK, now that's just hateful, and makes no sense whatsoever. When there's a threat like that out there, someone's gonna develop a way to undo it. As it stands, there's still no save, but at least you've got that buffer period before it becomes permanent. And the fact that energy drain reduces...

OK, I've gotta ask, having never played previous eds, what the frack did Energy Drain do previously? As it stands now, that thing puts the fear of god into every player I know! And yes, undead scare me and my players. Especially incoporeal undead. Stat damaging and energy draining creatures...

I don't really know why, but the first thing that popped into my head was a Halberd. I'm picturing one with a barbed blade.

A lot of the Clerics are uber comments are fuelled by perhaps the most insane feat ever printed by WotC: Divine Metamagic from the Complete Divine. Even without that though, just the basic list for the Cleric means that there is nothing another character can do that the high level Cleric can't...

The Gazetteer is for Greyhawk. Lessee, you want a setting with psionic support, that's mysterious and dualistic? Go get Arcanis. It has everything that you seem to be looking for, except that the evil guys are up north, and everyone's war-ravaged.

10. Superman (Post-Crisis) Created on Krypton, born and raised on Earth, he is the greatest hero of Earth. Posessed of near-divine powers, such as flight, invulnerability, heat vision, super strength and super speed, Kal-El/Clark Kent has only ever used his phenomenal power for the good of...

My vote was decided by one thing. Vader is a fallen hero who was redeemed. Joker is irredeemable. The Joker wins.

In some cases, I'd poke the player with the "Smells like metagame" stick, but there's only one real circumstance where the GM gets to dictate PC actions, and that's when there's spells with the [mind-affecting] descriptor being slung. I've walked from tables where a GM has dictated my actions...

OK, this part I'm curious about. How did the sorcerer become any more unplayable than it would have been under 3.0?
