Kayleigh has frequently questioned Dravot about this kind of thing. (Plus some OOC joking from me too.) But strictly in character, it's a front. Kayleigh is outwardly questiong Pelor and why he isn't doing anything, but her unspoken concern (concealed partly even from herself) is the inaction of...

This one wins. IPS negates concealment, not "anything with a 20% miss chance" and it's for the target not the archer. Stickier. So the magic word is "incorporeal". If you go look that up (too long to quote) it says nothing about being ethereal. It says they have no physical body. Therefore...

Undying - Chapter 5 Undying – Chapter 5 OOC Notes: Exp for 22nd is 2500, for 23rd is 2000. This Week’s Adventure: Aethramyr just brought disturbing news. He attempted to find the Silverring though the Dreaming, but was not successful. Worse, he found the dreamscape was transformed with...

We had this exact discussion come up with regards to a lich and a fellow player did a long MM search. DR is listed sometimes as Ex, sometimes as Su. If it is Su for the creature in question, then it would go away. But I'm not convinced they always thought about it. In short, apply some...

I'm not quite clear on the problem especially when you bring epic seeds into it. As I understand it, the seeds are just components for making epic spells. A sorcerer can cast epic spells just as readily as a wizard so I'm not seeing the drawback there. Now if you've decided that Sorcerers can't...

Bad emotions: Heart of Nightfang Spire (wretched module), Bastion of Broken Souls. Good emotions: Ravenloft (screaming terror but in a good way), Sunless Citadel (great module), Lich Queen's Beloved (great module)

I have to agree with some of the others. The spell does what it does. It does protection against mental domination (and I think your interpretation of what is "evil" is incorrect - it's not just the subtype, the spell references "alignment", not subtype.) It is of course completely within...

3. Orcus stages a bid to invade the Prime Material Plane. Armies of undead pour out of Rauxes threatening the Great Kingdom 4. The githyanki stage an invasion of the Prime. (Well covered in Dragon and Dungeon Magazines) The githyanki queen is stealing the souls of others, particularly elves...

Xbows are easier to use, that's why they're Simple weapons, not martial. I don't buy the "archery is overpowered" argument, especially in 3.5. So I don't really see a need to nerf them further. And all a crossbow wielder has to do is spend a feat on rapid reload to up their fire rate. I've...

I was mostly wondering if I'd missed something about an increase beyond the one you cite - i.e. when you cross the +6 enhancement line. Of course, don't those two rules conflict with each other? Very amusing.

Not by any mechanic included in the rules.

I was going through the ELH and was surprised that there was no particular mention of the hardness or hit points of epic magic items. It seems pretty reasonable to me that such items would be much harder to destroy than their non-epic counterparts, but there was no real mention. Have I missed...

On a pure gut level, I don't think this is going to work out the way you want. Even if you nerf them at the start, eventually they will become powerful enough that the troll is not a threat. Your options are to stop running the game with those characters (and start with new ones) or to advance...

Don't forget all those AoO's that the archer doesn't get ;) The answer is: The math that countered the argument that the archer was doing an order of magnitude more damage than the melee character. Contributing factors were discussed but can't be given mathematical weight. Of course it was...

I've been plaing an Arcane Archer for a long time now. I can tell you some things: 1. Archery was not radically overpowered in 3e. I did the math, (which I hadn't seen anyone else do) and saw that it wasn't. But that's not relevant any more 2. Arcane Archers got the shaft in 3.5. I mean they...

It's crazy expensive, yes. But honestly I think you have to look at it as a guideline more than anything. Epic items will probably not be scattered about willy-nilly, and therefore you can establish circumstances for them coming into your wolrd case by case.

I take notes on a laptop during a game. They are very very very brief and really only meaningful to me, to help stimulate my memory. When someone is speaking (like an NPC) I might type out exactly what they're saying. (Fortunately I can type relatively well.) Then I go back and type up the...

I think the class you're looking for is "Bard". You have ranks in perform (speeches) and all the social skills you could possibly want.

The devil you say! <quietly hides his multi-page spreadsheet, without which he can't even play his epic character> There's no question that it's complicated. And it hits at a certain point in the power curve. At first it's easy - you have nothing. Then you get in mid levels and stuff starts...

If you change the names of the bonuses and don't change your stacking rules, you're basically creating a lower powered world. People will have lower saves, stats, and so on. I think the balance problem might come up because the players will be nerfed a lot more than most monsters would. You...
