Sounds like there's more afoot than meets the eye. Does the GM have a history of ignoring character skill ranks and abilities and "Role Playing" through what would be a skill check and drawing something out that might be less-than-mission-critical? Some GMs get into that, and it isn't always...

As for interesting uses ... we're higher-level character (14th level) that have been getting repeatedly pounded by Dispel Magic from multiple mooks. We're thinking of using them to get Dispel-proof concealment to block LoS. --fje

We're still in SoLS ... but, thinking about it, there are several abilities displayed that would require a major healer to fix, yes. But, for instance, the Druid gets access to the Heal spell, just a bit later than Clerics ... and while Heal is almost certainly required in that module, it also...

D&D in general pretty much requires a cleric. I wouldn't, say, think that SCAP didn't require a cleric or that RttToEE didn't need a cleric. There's some additional value-adds to having a cleric, but I haven't seen where it was impossible to pass or succeed without one. That said ... we're...

FREE STUFF! --fje

On the whole, I like turning when it is "expanded" to more than turning ... channeling energy, for instance, to do things to the environment ... one point we used a turn attempt to affect an evil artifact ... I like the Divine style feats that use turns to, basically, grant different new class...

I gave the first two a listen in the car. Sounds pretty good. The levels got better in episode 2, so that's good. First one, at least for me, one guy would be distorting out the speakers and the next I could barely hear. My only complaint would be that I'd like a little ... differentiation...

Mailing lists in general seem to be less active. The most active list I'm on is a 5-member list for my gaming group ... we send, very often, several mails a day. I think usually it's the difficulty of joining and the even greater difficulty in leaving that swear people off the mailing lists...

So there are rules for 1pt flasks of lamp oil being used as weapons. But what about dropping half a dozen 20gal barrels of the stuff out of bags of holding from 200ft up into a 20'x30' room with a few corridors off of it and following with an alchemist's fire? They'd all be coming through a...

Well, we have no arcane caster, which is a problem. The wizard got killed, oh, about lvl5 and the player (my wife) left the game for time reasons. Since then it's a Barbarian/Cleric (me) and a Cleric/Contemplative and a Rogue/Cleric and a ... fighter/paladin/cleric/occult-slayer. All clerics...

Currently I've got a Weapon-of-Legacy ability that gives me Mirror Image 3x/day at 10th caster level and a Ring of Counterspells with a DM in it. We're 14th level. The GM ruled that RoCounterspells only works against targeted effects, so when I put the mirrors up we get pounded with bursts...

I've wanted to do something similar for quite a while, actually. But, for me, I'd play a Worg Barbarian/Druid and I was thinking of maybe changing out the Animal Companion for a Cohort ... goblin. Then my character could wear a saddle and the cohort could take mounted archery feats. NPCs...

Well, I'm playing a cleric currently. I'm not turning focused, just a full-level cleric (for turning, anyway) with a 16 Charisma. So far, I've used it ... three times? Over the course of 14 levels. The first time, at 5th level, it worked pretty well. The second time at 10th level it worked...

Hrm, nothing in the FAQ. It would be nice if they were a little more clear. Spell Turning takes pretty good care, as have any other "targeted only" type things, to at least use the word "target" in the description. Last night we just used the ol' binary die to decide. --fje

Well, I need some spells for my melee cleric to cast that aren't buffs. I find myself the target of upwards of 6-10 dispel magics a combat ... bursts, targets, Spell-Like Abilities, spells, etc. It's become totally obvious there's no way to avoid having every single spell active on my...

My problem is the word "target" never appears anywhere in the ring description. Just says: "upon the wearer". If I drop an elephant on you and your friend Phil, you both have had an elephant dropped upon you ... I did not, however, target you with an elephant. --fje

Does Ring of Counterspelling counterspell, say, Fireball when cast with you within the radius or is it only useful when loaded with Targeted type spells? The ring description says: "As the counterspell action" which can counter any type of spell but the text also says: "should that spell...

It's a pretty fair 5th level spell ... requires you to be a 9th level caster to use it. Now, say, you've got monsters for a 13th level party that have Feeblemind as a Gaze attack and you throw them at the party in bucketfuls? --fje

So I have a question: The inference is, from the text of Obscuring Mist, that it breaks Line Of Sight for creatures on either side of the cloud, correct? I.E. ....A XXXXXX XXXXXX XXXXXX ....B In that instance A and B, neither of which are in the cloud, do not have Line Of Sight to one...

I'm personally using a WoL I've been creating myself. It has seemed, thus far, pretty much balanced. The only things I've really "checked" with the GM about have been powers outside of those listed in the book. I would say that it's balanced. I have a few useful powers ... a persistent...
