I love the spell, but it's too hard to break. Wish or Miracle should break it, Disjunction shouldn't require a caster level check. (But all three would be required to be used in the presence of the cursed unfortunate, which might be a significant problem in itself, given the kind of places he'd...

The simplest choice is to just use a Purple Worm. Those don't have any of the "bonus traits", though (well, except artwork). If you're willing to do a little extra work, take a Dragon Turtle, advance it to 25 hd (minimum for Gargantuan size), and give it these feats: Improved Snatch and Snatch...

As I suspect it is in most groups, the degree of involvement of the PCs in my group varies considerably: -All have their own character sheet and dice (And I'd have thought that was a given for any campaign) -All but one own PHBs, two own significant numbers of splatbooks or other supplemental...

Personally, I have a house rule which doesn't go quite so far. It seems to work well: In addition to the current effects of the spell, each level a spell is heightened extends any caps on the spell by 3 caster levels. (Note that the caster must still be high enough caster level to exceed the...

Personally, I have a bit of a strange house rule. I let people take feats and PRCs from Tome of Battle, (including Martial Study and Martial Stance), but not use the base classes from that book. (I don't like them and prefer to nerf full casters, but that's neither here nor there) That allows...

My aim when I play with my main group is to be a 4. I derive great fun and some satisfaction from building dangerous monsters and optimized NPCs, and detailing their evil plans. I try to play them as true to their motivations and goals as I can, using their resources to the fullest without...

Did I kill this thread or something? Everyone should see the Jestery goodness!

Hyperbolic, melodramatic defense ahoy! Of course, Shieldhaven, if you're going to be rational about it... :p If anything, you're saving yourself the anxious waiting, the self-delusional hopes and the disappointments. I realize that this probably sounds insane to any well-adjusted person who...

Any chance we could see the character, PirateCat?

I realize I wasn't here during the really lean times, when it was a year between updates, but I'm beginning to fear for this SH. What do people think, will Sep return to it? Maybe it's time to let go? (And dammit, it shouldn't hurt so much to say that about an SH!)

This thread belongs on the first page! And, Jester. Since you're evidently converting to 4e, how are you dealing with the options squeeze? It's easy (easier than ever, it seems) for the DM to make new or advanced monsters, but your players also seem to appreciate options and quirky character...

Really solid, Jester. Making a complex, high-level conversion this good only days after the books are out really shows your knack for design. It's almost enough to want me to try 4e. (And that's not easily done) However... GARGOYLES! :D (Or, if you prefer, the 3.5 statblock you converted the...

Speaking of Beatles songs, what about Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds?

How does that work out for you, Jester? The 4e design philosophy (obviously) goes hand in hand with actual design, so 4e monsters are streamlined and built for cooperation. I've found that I often get bogged down in options when using multiple adversaries at high levels. Do you have any tricks...

Thank you, Knightfall! The Cydra group has even more fun stuff than this thread. :D

I am stealing that. Achtung, my PCs! :D But, what is "deadly weapon", the spell on Gore's scroll? It's not in the Spell Compendium. Edit: there are a few spells I don't recognize among his prepared spells, too. Are they from Complete Divine? That's less important, though, a spell list is...

Amazing. Didn't you already post the Deathbringers, though? A few pages back? Or did you revise them since then?

We Want Gargoyles! We Want Gargoyles! We Want Gargoyles! :D (Or at least some tidbits about how the game went. )

Any chance we could see it? That, and those spiffy gargoyles? This is the best thread on this forum, so show us the goodies and keep that up! :D

I'll be brutally honest. I don't really want to fix Blasphemy and its ilk. I think they are cool spells, and the evil DM in me cackles whenever I get to use them. But I have to face up to it: they are broken. They are showstoppers which screw the whole party, with no save and no effective...
