    Gelatinous cube tpk

    But a cube is 10 by 10 by (get this) 10. So it should be able to engulf 8 5 by 5 by 5 medium creatures. Now squeezing into a 5 by (guessing here, but he mentioned nothing of ducking PCs so) 10 space it can still engulf 4 characters by placing the first two it engulfed into it's erm... higher...

    Gelatinous cube tpk

    By RAW, I suppose. Logically, no.

    Should I Ban Tanglefoot Bags?

    I'd say banning is a step too far. I'd also say that any old cleric without a bottle of wine was a doppleganger infiltrating the church for some nefarious scheme no doubt. I do wonder how the cleric wasn't casting any spells. Were the players smart enough to take turns readying an arrow for...

    Gelatinous cube tpk

    I'll give the DM the benefit of the doubt and assume he didn't know just how poorly he adjudicated the rules, but as a player I would've hollered about the following. 1) The Cube was squeezing. And AFAIK wasn't suffering any of the penalties for doing so. 2) The air is 'solid'? Seriously, I'd...

    Build: I Got Peeps!

    I'd drop Spell Focus, doesn't give you a whole lot.

    buying xp

    No way on a 1 to 1 ratio. 5gp to 1xp at a minimum, and I've likely have it increase with level. Though there is the problem of not getting as much experience for things you whack after getting levels buying xp.

    Gelatinous cube tpk

    I wouldn't keep playing under a DM that did that to my party.

    I could use a CR estimate for this encounter

    The pit took the fighter out for a few rounds, and the buttkicking cleric sounds like he was taken out of the fight for the most part anyway. I'm surprised the party managed to get away without any deaths.

    I could use a CR estimate for this encounter

    Given three spellslingers (even though one's a buttkicker as well) to 1 buttkicker party I think the SR was a likely cause of trouble. The DR likely forced the two into using spells as weapons would not cut it (figuratively speaking), but while more likely to cause damage (especially in case of...

    Baleful Polymorph into a Monkey - Verbal Spells?

    Sadly slugs aren't (to my knowledge) statted up, while monkeys are. Though I'd make him a rat, or cat instead so they are too small to cause much damage (unless of course they're a rogue and sneak attack).

    Dangerous health, + heal skill

    You may wish to look at the Clobbered rules, I believe they're in CW, or DMG2. In short it's anytime you take more than half your remaining HP in damage you suffer for it.

    Swap Forge Ring for Craft Wondrous Item, and turn the Class Ring into an Emblem. An easy fix that keeps the badge of honor flavor that the ring has.

    What balances the Warforged?

    Ok, so your warforged infiltrator scouts and observes the guard rotation in 40 minutes? Otherwise he's burning multiple castings of (extended) invisibility, or using a magic item that grants invisibility all day. And how does not sleeping help anyone impersonate warforged? Ok, they're the...

    New Prestige Class: The Ranger Lord

    Maybe it's just me but it sounds like you want a PrC like the Dread Commando.

    Collegiate wizard, feedback please!

    I'll be... I misread that as caster level 2. In that case replace it with Craft Wondrous Item, which has a requirement of 3rd. And yes, I meant for it to take awhile to qualify for if you're not aiming for it from the start. A human can qualify by 5th level, non-humans a bit longer.

    What balances the Warforged?

    Solarious: You mean the same short term infiltrations where they spend hours underwater and days without food water or sleep, then kill another warforged to become disguied as it?

    What balances the Warforged?

    20,000 is still technically 500+.

    Increase Initiative

    Dread Commando gives up to a +5 competence bonus IIRC, 1 per level of DC.

    What balances the Warforged?

    You mean a reed, a ring of sutenence, and another ring of sustenence (ok, 2 whole hours of downtime a day)? I'm not sure how much a warforged goes for, but I have a feeling it's over 10k. You do know that Disguise is a Cha skill, and even though a minor penalty it still makes one less able...
