Technically no. That would be closing the barn door after the horses have eaten your children. You could argue that based on the "immune to poison for 12 hours" part, that you would be immune to any further damage caused by the poison in the next 12 hours. But any ability damage you already...

First off, you should be prepared for a lot of grey areas. The system of magic item creation is more art than science. It requires interpretation and judgement from the DM - it's not a simple formula. The pricing is fundamentally correct. However what this is going to do is basically give the...

Disclaimer: I have not played a character who has used summoned monsters extensively. However I have played a psion metacreative using constructs as his bread-n-butter. That said, I think the answer is "Not more powerful, but differently powerful. " Personally I like them better as a player...

You have to do this: (url=www.vbulletin.com/forum/)The vBulletin Community Forums(/url) Put in brackets for the parenthesis - I had to write it that way or the boards parsed it ;) Good luck Crothian!

Hm. From my point of view, constructs are not summoned. Indeed their very name implies they are constructed, not summoned. They share more in common with a golem in this respect than they do a blink dog or demon. They are not called from elsewhere - they're assembled on the spot from the goo of...

Hm. I'm the note taker for our main game. And even though I wrote it, I usually have to go back and look things up. The character may have a journal, and that may help them with some lost memories, but I'd require the player to actually keep notes. If they do, they get a success on the int...

What Glass said. If it was flaming and frost, it would be up to you. You could rule that: 1. you can activate both together or one or the other as a standard action 2. you need a standard action to activate each 3. the weapon always activates both together -they're linked, so you can't supress...

It bypasses DR for certain types of creatures. It's more than just lycnathropes - a lot more. But it is more or less the same thing. I think the point of adding the word "alchemical" was to make it clear that the weapons were not actually solid silver since silver is a pretty poor material to go...

Undying - Chapter 4 Undying – Chapter 4 OOC Notes: Experience: 21st = 3675, 22nd = 2900, 23rd = 2000. Reader’s note: Yes I know you don’t care about exp but this is also our historical record of the game. Also we had a lot of different activities going on this week, so don’t be surprised if...

Yes, currently I'm 22nd and 12th level AA. I've got some epic level experience and it seems right to me too, but really nobody has a lot of experience at this. There is one thing that made me wonder... I've taken flaming and flaming burst in the non-epic progression. But if I had taken holy...

For those that care (Nifft knows this but if anyone is looking at balance) - I've been using an Arcane Archer in a long running campaign. We've converted over to this build of the AA. I've had it a few sessions now but they weren't combat-intensive. But as things develop I'll be posting...

A small teaser... After a night’s rest, I was no closer to a good idea of how to proceed, but at least I felt much better. Of course, being nowhere near Ruun-Khazai might have something to do with that. I decided that it was time to seek wisdom from those would be better at thinking on...

First, you should really put this in the House Rules section, not here. That said, head to House Rules and look for Nifft's revamp of the Arcane Archer class. It offers some spell level progression, which seems to be the key thing your class is focusing in on. You might find it straight...

Thanks Piratecat - I wasn't sure if it was better to post here or by private message, and eventually I covered my bets ;) Oh. My. God. That was a lot of work. Remind me to do it more often so it's not so big. The thread is down from over 1000 posts to now just over 300. Took a while but it's...

Note for the Readers: I'm afraid we have finally had to bow to the forces of board mechanics. The thread was getting pretty big, what with having run so long. I finally broke down and pruned the thread, removing almost all the posts that were not directly part of the story. It's not that I...

Oh Piratecat... I just checked and it looks like we're getting a little bulky on my story hour, so I'm ready to take a whack at cleaning it up. Let me know when you're ready.

I should have included that. Kayleigh says to Meepo "When word gets out that there are nasty ogres and drow and kobolds living in a fortress in the hills, adventuring groups are going to start coming to destroy them. What are you going to do when the first group of adventurers shows up? Huh?"...

Undying - Chapter 3 Undying – Chapter 3 OOC Notes: 1725 exp for Chapter 2 2000 for Chapter 3. This Week’s Adventure: Not a good day. Not even a little. But I’ve had a bath, and a nice glass of wine. (Several actually.) I still can’t decide if the entire situation is outrageous...

Just that by the time you're 10/11th level, you can probably have a flaming bow. :)

Microsoft Excel is my best friend. I use a set of sheets I created myself, and adapt them for each character. I also paste in some sheets (such as spell sheets). For my high level game, it will track buffs and the associated bonuses, to to the point where I can't play any more without my laptop...
