Okay ... here's my question: What's the math look like for the probabilities on a spell like Dispel Magic. Let's take a character with 8 spells, cast by a 13th level caster, active on his person. He gets hit with a 10th-level Targeted Dispel Magic. The Dispeller needs a 14+ to hit a spell...

One of my most successful D&D campaigns of all time was set in: "Uh, D&D." Pretty much I got blindsided one day by some friends wanting to play D&D, so we just played some D&D. Everything about the setting got made up on the spot. Cities, nations, etc, when they were needed. It congealed...

Well, in an antimagic field I'd still be a capable combatant ... Rage and the like. We're all magic+other but for the full-class caster-cleric. The thing is, it's hard to function entirely without magic while the opposing side has full access to magic and/or a Huge sized thug standing by to...

Well, the wording on RoCounterspelling is ambiguous and the GM decided to rule that area-dispels don't trigger the ring. Second, it's not just one or two targeted dispels, it's 3-6 targeted dispels every single round from either SLAs or Sorcs or combinations of those groups while being harried...

The entire party is made up of Vow Of Poverty Monk/Caster hybrids who don't need the items? --fje

So you want all of the power with none of the penalty? --fje

Monk is one of those classes that just suffers terribly from multiclassing in losing level-based class abilities. TM could be useful with a few levels in a pretty specific build, but I wouldn't trade the full progression of it. --fje

Really, though, you'd have to be reaching pretty pretty far given that the text of Dispel Magic says that the item becomes "nonmagical" and the text of Shatter states the item targeted must be "nonmagical" ... same word, even. --fje

Pre-combat prep. Basically we know they're there, we've come to a stalemate several times and had to TP out. They have sorcerers with Dispel Magic and Enervate that just sort of pound out all of our spell slots in protected areas that are difficult to reach without special defensive spells ...

I want to do that with a Warlock, but everybody says: "Nooooooooo! You'll destroy all the magical items." --fje

Well, looks like you have a custom items that're granting +13 AC that, if the GM doesn't allow you to make custom items "Of Combat" that grant specifically-stacking multiple AC bonuses, may be harder to reach. Sacred, Luck, and Insight AC bonuses are specifically pretty hard to come by in core...

What would everybody think the effect would be of casting Silence on a Tanglefoot bag and using the TFB to either pelt a spellcaster or just splop sticky-bomb style on a ceiling or pillar? What about casting Silence on a single grain of sand and plopping it in a bottle of sand and shaking it...

I was saying you trade damage for AC because to get worthwhile AC you're giving up character resources you could use for damage. For instance, I was building a concept-replacement character that would be a front-line tanked-out tank. I took just about every AC-increasing option I could find...

QFT ... which is why I question why SR armors are so expensive. Seems like they tried to keep it from being too good right up into making it pretty much useless. If the Fighter is in danger of failing a Will save vs. a 3rd level caster we'll get him a Cloak of Resistance ... or just fireball...

The question is how long they're there. For instance, my character, at 14th level, spiked 105 damage without a crit or even a big damage roll. Not that my character is wading in nude or anything. I've got Mithril Breastplate +3 (Magic Vestment in the morning), decent Dex, and Shield of Faith...

HP, especially later levels like that. My character concept is actually built around that after several players and myself remarked that you have to spend an extraordinate amount of character resources to get even passable AC vs. big monsters. Feats, class levels, magic, etc. Even then, the...

Is it me or is the spell resistance granted by items WAY too low to ever be of much real use? It seems that about the time you can reasonably afford to buy it an equal-level caster is going to blow through it on anything other than a 1. Not long after, you're going to find that the SR never...

As to Rogues feeling shafted ... the Rog/Clr is VERY glad he decided to go with some cleric so he can fill his whole 1st level allotment with Grave Strike. He's actually got better burst damage than I do if he can get into position to TWF double-stab with Wracking Touch in the spell-storing...

I would say yea. It's a CL check, that adds to CL checks. Nothing says it has to be a spell. --fje

We'll expect no fewer than thirteen skyclad priestesses engaged in unwholesome carnal ritual congress, fourteen bushels of hewn limbs upon byres, fifteen hogsheads of bright red blood, and sixteen stone in steaming spilled entrails! --fje
