It's not that you completely ignore it. But at mid and high levels, if the players take reasonable steps to manage their ammo based on how much they use, then that's good enough and you don't have to count every arrow fired/retrieved/fixed/etc. Player: "Hm, I'm up to 4 attacks a round and...

Wow. That's perfect. When I was banging my head against a wall trying to do that, I don't think I ever checked the psionics - just spells like major creation etc. Much cleaner that way.

I would suggest thinking beyond just your feat at 3rd. What about 6th? 9th? Where do you want to be by 12th? I think you'll be better off if you plan a long term progression. For instance, if you really want to be at range, then you need point blank shot so you can have precise shot later. Of...

That's just silly. No singer could sing all day, no musician could play all day. Their fingers would be sore and bleeding. Rather than put a limit on it, I'd just start imposing penalties for long-duration playing/singing. Not to mention the racket is a huge advertisement of the group's presence.

A question I just had to answer myself recently. My thoughts: 1. Ammunition, especially the regular arrows are cheap and plentiful. For us, it became a "torch lighting issue" - a phrase coined by Wulf Ratbane for minor details in a game that are not worth worrying about. Sure, when you're...

My two bits: A dead character isn't anything but a boat anchor. Therefore first, I'd up the bonus on the cloak of resistance, and maybe your ring of health since that's fort save as well as hit points. AC is good. Therefore see what the most cost effective route to upping your AC is...

ShatterSpike +5 Holy Avenger, Keen, Bane: Evil Outsiders Special Abilities: "Imbue" the weapon: Spend a turning Check to add Charisma bonus to Hit and Damage. (Normal rules applying here; weapon cannot go above +5) For a number of rounds equal to the max hitdice effected by the turning check...

My two bits - which unsurpisingly follows Wizardru's since I'm a player in his campaign. SC and FoF - great modules. Two thumbs up. We didn't do what you would consider Speaker in Dreams - Wizardru hacked it down pretty much. Nightfang spire was pure hell. It's long, rambling...

I like story. I also like mechanics. I'm happy to discuss either ;) I had this made a while ago. First level spells/items were a great bargain under 3.0. (Same thing applies to vest of entropic shield, a gift from Dravot.) It's Shield that is use activated, and slotless so it doesn't take up...

oh goody.... Personal Information: As little is known about Scorch, the opposite is true for Dravot. Much of his personal life and family affairs have been exposed in the course of the group's adventures. Dravot is one four sons of the d’Chandagnac family, a minor noble house in the Great...

Too funny :D :D But I can't resist.... Combat: Scorch is the arcane backbone of the party. While he personally enjoys dealing out both focused and widespread arcane destruction, his spell choices are not overly specialized. In fact, he tends to have a good variety of prepared spells, ready...

Just an update for those interested. The details with the epic and 3.5 conversion are settling down and we will be resuming play shortly - probably the weekend after Labor Day due to Shorecon. Meanwhile, we promised stat blocks, so let's do that. I think Kayleigh's is finally just about...

I have a high dex character and I've gone through looking for the same thing. Basically, the answer is "no, you can't really wear armor". Go with bracers of armor. There's the armor of the celestial batallion in the epic level handbook, which is really nice armor but out of the reach of almost...

I would say there's a good reason that there is no spell or weapon-ability that lets a weapon change materials - because it would throw off the balance of the DR system. Allowing a simple +1 enhancement to bypass the DR thing would probably trivialize the whole thing. (Additionally cold iron is...

As for the cloak, I'd say no, you can't pay 1/3rd. That's too easy ;) If it's bonus squared times 1000 for resistance bonus, I'd go with bonus squared *500 for a bonus to a single save. In short you get the price break if you get them all. Otherwise characters will just bolster their weak save...

No question that 3.5 was a major nerf for the AA. I was really hoping they did something else to the AA to compensate but alas it was not to be. However what the AA can do is instead of a +5 bow, use a +1 keen shocking/holy/flaming/acidic/whatever bow. Instead of buying a bow with a big...

The Sage huh. Guess that answers that.

Is AA a poor class? That's up to you. Personally I like it but it has a few problems to be aware of. You will always be a very weak caster. You'll have practically no spells to speak of and the ones you do have won't be much use for imbuing onto arrows. Just realize this is how it is ;) You...

I don't think it says that having gloves of dexterity raises your dex bonus to AC either, but I think we all accept that it does. As for the trickier stuff like spell mastery, that's harder to say but less likely to come up. If you want to go through the effort of keeping track of which spell...

Easy: Haven't you ever had someone kneeling near a wall cupping their hands while you put one foot in their hands and jumped up? Not applicable in every case but I can see it at times.
