    How much risk do parties enjoy?

    In the campaign I DM, death is rather frequent, and ways to get brought back are rather common. The same is true of one campaign I play in. In another campaign I play in, death is almost always permanent and irreversible, and it almost never happens to PCs. Dave

    This is a pretty cool alternative. Thanks for posting it. Dave

    Spells: 10th level and higher, a proposal

    I've posted the same thread, and provided more spells, and have gotten yet more feedback, on the WotC epic thread. http://boards1.wizards.com/showthread.php?t=767814 Dave

    Spells: 10th level and higher, a proposal

    Well, I think that that's just a matter of opinion. Not to knock your view--at all. I think that what you're describing sounds like what I figured an "epic" spell would be. You know, really, really close to what the gods should be able to do. As far as I'm concerned, there's a LOT of room...

    Spells: 10th level and higher, a proposal

    Thanks for the thoughful responses Jack Simth. I was thinking that the mass true strike is probably better as maybe a 7th level spell (I figured that if limited wish could pull it off, then maybe it shouldn't be higher than 7th). The clarification for the greater antimagic field should...

    Spells: 10th level and higher, a proposal

    Proof? Do you mean, in terms of using feats to acquire spell levels? I could see that. Dave

    Spells: 10th level and higher, a proposal

    I went through the same analysis with a mass true strike. There's another difference though. Spells like bull's strength or cure light wounds can already be cast on others, true strike can only be cast on oneself. So, if there were a version of true strike that could target others, it would...

    Help needed with Alternate "Initiative" System

    The old Federation and Empire game used an initiative system that was based on 32. Each creature (object, ship, whatever) had a speed from 0 to 32, and, your speed determined which of the movement phases you'd act on. So, if you had a speed of 32, you could act on each of the 32 phases. If...

    Second part og knowledge (mathematical)

    I don't think adding 10 to the DC for doing a calculation in your head accurately reflects the difficulty. Some are easier than others. I can solve quadratics that have integer solutions in my head all day long, but I'd be stumped finding the sin or cos of some unusual angle out to, say, 8...

    Spells: 10th level and higher, a proposal

    I'm not a fan of the 3rd edition changes to Wish either (I prefer 1e myself), but, I can see why they did what they did. I was wondering if the mass true strike was really worth a 10th level spell? Dave

    Spells: 10th level and higher, a proposal

    I get a "You're not authorized to view this," warning when I click that link. Why 3? As I look at it, 4 does seem like it'll take too long, especially if the spells don't accelerate in overall power. Dave

    Spells: 10th level and higher, a proposal

    It has been my contention, pretty much since the ELH came out, that there was a better way to handle epic spells. In fact, I've pretty much always had 10th and higher level spells in my own campaign, and, while I've tried to make epic spells work to that end, it hasn't worked so well. I have a...

    Rpgnow creditcard information stolen

    I'm terribly sorry for anyone who will be having trouble with this. This kind of thing sucks (my mom had some pretty hefty problems once with identity theft). I'm glad that the community has a place to share information though. I've learned a lot about what to expect and what to look for in...

    Jump and Tumble Question...

    True. What about the name though? Fall Like a Monk ;) Prerequisites: 5 ranks in Jump and Tumble Benefit: when you fall, you may reduce the damage you take from the fall. Make both a Jump and a Tumble check. The average of your results is the number of feet you can fall without taking any...

    Jump and Tumble Question...

    Sounds like room for a feat. Skillful Jumper Prerequisites: 5 ranks in both Jump and Tumble Benefit: When falling, you may combine the effects of the advantageous Jump and Tumble checks so that you reduce your damage from falling by eliminating the first 20 feet rather than just the first 10...

    Epic spellcasting: Is it really feasible?

    When a fighter gets to 21st level, his attack progression slows way down (gets cut in half). I have thought about expanding the wizard's spell table out to, say, 20th level spells, and having the rate of aquisition about half the previous rate (to match the fighter's slower rate). Then, I was...
