    OT: Magic: the Gathering Online

    Good point, I didn't think about that. I had been out of the Magic loop for a while, and tended to buy individual boosters rather than bulk or mail orders when I was a regular purchaser.

    OT: Magic: the Gathering Online

    Aren't the real cards and virtual cards the exact same price? Both are $3.29 per booster on the Wizard's website.

    OT: Magic: the Gathering Online

    It's pretty decent. There's a free demo floating around, and the game is essentially free (it costs 9.99 to set up an account, but then you get a gift certificate for that amount to buy cards with).

    Counterspell. Has anyone even seen it used in their game!?

    I find the most effective counterspelling is hitting the caster with the biggest damage spell you can muster. Nothing quite like 50 points of damage from a flame strike to keep the enemy caster from getting his spell off. I shut down a higher level cleric that way, he went down after the third...

    WotC Seeking Your Setting Proposals (was "Big Wizard announcement")

    But...but...but Ninjaworld *is* that special!!! The rules shouldn't apply to a superior setting that's better than 99% of the stuff you'll see. Heck, Ninjaworld is a setting of sneaky-killing and katanas that do 3d6 damage, where dark mysterious ninjas fight wretched slovenly pirates. And...

    Which Class do you hate/dislike ?

    Barbarians are dull, one-trick ponies in the hands of most players. Yuck.

    Does Mind Blank Apply to Every Bluff Check?

    I don't have my PsiHB in front of me, so this is going to be from memory. The power Mind Blank in the psionics handbook is a 1st level power that lasts hours/level. It gives a +20 to Bluff checks, and the text reads that it applies 'when someone attempts to use Sense Motive to discern your...

    Can a familiar use their own HP's instead of 1/2 masters?

    Maybe he just has a 6 Con. In that case, I'd take the toad instead. ;)

    I am actually using Orc and Pie (serious)

    BAM! Take that pie up a notch!

    Diagonals

    That's funny, I remember seeing the same thing, but can't think of where I saw it either. Maybe sage advice.

    Is Rope Trick broken!?

    Re: Re: Is Rope Trick broken!? That's a really good point and a clever way for a DM to deal with the problem. give the players a small bag of holding or handy haversack. If they can't bring it in with them, they either have to stay outside and guard it, or hide it and hope no one finds it.

    Spelljammer adventures?

    Do a search for Beyond the Moons. It's got a decent set of adventures (mostly 2e) and a really good ship building system.

    Looking for a Monster or Class That Can Control Reptiles

    Dang! The only class splat book I don't own. Could you give me a brief rundown of what they are and how powerful they might be?

    Looking for a Monster or Class That Can Control Reptiles

    Anyone know of a creature or class that has an ability to control reptiles and/or snakes. I am brewing a plot involving the use of yuan-ti potions (those which are used to create broodguard and tainted ones) to infect and control nobles, but am looking for a non-yuan-ti villian to be doing the...

    confused with initiative

    Hold an action to attack the guy once he closes with you. He'll get the charge bonus, but you'll still get to hit him and stay on top of initiative. Next round, you'll get your full attack before he does. Alternately, you could delay your action if his iniative is within 10 of yours. There's...

    Looking for Strength +2 Buff!

    Also, the Hammer of Thunderbolts allows (and requires that) the two items stack.

    Casting a Sleep spell behind a goblin?

    A related question: can tower shields block LOE? So, if in this example the goblin were hiding behind a tower shield, could he or the space behind him be targetted by the spell?

    Cool items that the party never used.

    Re: Getting Players to Use Wands More I did the same thing in my campaign with similar results. It also saves me the headache of calculating charges in a wand. I gave out a magic pistol in one game. It was a +1 flaming weapon and 3 times per day could be used to cast silence on either the...

    spell power +1

    I've got an 18th level cleric with some insane save DC's. She started out with an 18 Wis, which has since been bumped up to 22 through stat bumps. She's got a +6 periapt of wisdom and has 8 levels in a prestige class from DotF that gives her access to the Madness domain (which gives you a...
