Actually, Acid Arrow is one of my favorite mid-high level caster killers. Pelt a baddie with three twinned acid arrows and three quickened acid arrows in the first three rounds of combat, and watch that 18d4 (average of 45) of damage every round do it's work. Not many casters can make that...

"Fair enough, I forget how important such contact can be for religious types. I met with the Bard, during the battle. He either dispelled a mystical influence from my person, or influinced me to think that he did. I require an unbiased third party with enough power to break free of the potential...

"Actually, I'm being very careful not to say exactly that. Because if such a thing were to be true, saying exactly that might be enough to cause that to affect your actions in a hostile manner. Call me cautious."

The numbers on this aren't neccisarily correct. If the tripmonkey has a fairly low AC (say, high teens to low 20s) then the fighter (if an offensive specialist) will still probably hit on a 2 or a 3, even at mid levels. If a defensive specialist, he'll just use his tower shield to give him full...

Sadly, after the -20 on the check (netting me a +1 total modifier) I still rolled a 17. See, when you have 32 strength, it really doesn't matter WHAT you hit the other guy with. I really would want to see one of their opinions on the matter. This group I'm in seems to have a thing for creating...

This is all your fault, you know. If you hadn't given me the wand of Enlarge Person, I wouldn't be humongoid all the time.

Oh god, what the hell is a Flindbar?

Ok, so here's the situation. I'm playing an Orcish Dragon Disciple. As you might imagine, I have an incredibly high strength, and a decent BaB. I also enjoy the occasional use of Enlarge Person. Since it's only a -20 to grapple things with only one hand, I found myself with a total +1 modifier...

Dude, fighting from prone is only a -4 penalty. Why in the hell would a decent fighter even bother standing up at all, when he can stay on the ground and make full attacks? EDIT: Also, Ender, you know if you try this, I'm just going to grapple your trip monkey to pieces. I keep telling you...

"There's but two of the buggers! I've little notion that we can't send these fellows off with a sound thrashing, right Yssal? Now ready yourself. When they enter this room, give them a little of their own sneaky medicine eh?" Wyleck says as he backs along the wall, fitting another stone to his...

His arms begin burning with exhaustion as Bardach hangs from the gunwale of the crows nest, far above the deck of the ship. His meditation and communion with the wind done, for the moment, he slowly pulls himself back up, nods again to the sailor manning the nest, and begins to crawl again like...

As they approach the Dizzy sheep, Salarassa's pace slows, as he carefully considers his options. He, and those he traveled with, have been subject to some sort of mystic compulsion, one which is vastly more powerful than any he himself might hope to produce, if it could so easily ensnare such a...

I always ask myself: Does the story gain anything through denying the PCs X. Where X is whatever the PCs were looking to get. Obviously if you give the PCs everything they want, then it drains all of the tension and fun out of the game. But what does giving the PCs a few extra bits of xp do?

And remember, ennervation stacks with itself! Yay for killing high level anything with Ennervation Volleys!

Meybe he ate someone with super-scissor control?

He wasn't arguing that most groups wouldn't allow it, he was arguing that in every group that WOULD allow it, that is what the cleric would do. I agree with his assertion that the build is fairly common knowledge. What I disagreed with was the assertion that it was UNIVERSAL knowledge, and...

Well, dispel magic would probably not have had a shot. After all, the BBEG is damn near level 20, if not at it, and the Sapphire Guard appears to be made up of level 12-13 and down (with exceptions for Miko and other named Guards.) Assuming you did have someone in that pile-up what was willing...

Unfortunately, produce flame only works on an "Open Hand". This could be interprited (sp?) to mean that you have to actually HAVE a hand to use it. Regardless, it does only say A hand, instead of hands, plural, so it would not count in any event towards all of a druid's natural attacks. That...

Dwarves merely treat Dwarven Waraxes as Martial Weapons, a fact that does me no good as a wizard. Perhaps I can trade in my Familiar for proficiency with martial weapons though, loath as I am to loose such a useful scout. Also, my knowledge of the Spell Compendium is limited. What are these...

Bardach, finding himself aboard another ship at last, does that which his limbs have been demanding for months. He strides with a sailors rolling grace to the rigging, and swiftly ascents into the air, pulling himself hand over hand up to the crows nest. The rough rope of a hard used Spelljammer...
