The one my most recent character had was one I created as part of his backstory. Owned by one of the chief lieutenants of one of the Cormyrean Wyvern Lords, it was a +1 Elemental Aura bastard sword, named Igaridan. No special meaning to it, I just liked the way that it sounded.

Season Four, TANGENT. O'Neill is running guns to Teal'c's pilot when they're testing out the hybrid jet/deathwing glider and end up out by Jupiter...

The only abiltiy that I've seen for cleaving is Mightly Cleaving, which gives you a second Cleave attack per round if you have the Cleave feat...

Up until the early 90's, all of my d20's added up to 21, but around then everything started to change...

I agree, and I may do that. I may tie the barony into the invasion, at least as an ally, as the NPC in question would problably ally himself with the orcs, to get himself more power. I think I will leave the vampires separate (though the pc's may encounter some orcish based vampire spawn, heh...

I'm running an FR campaign at the moment, set in 1371, and these are the backstory events that I've had going on in my campaign. It's set in The North, near the Confederacy of the Silver Marches, with 6 PC's of about 10-11th level. 1) The PC's (well, some of them) way back when they were...

My girlfriend brought FART to our group when she joined us: Find and Remove Traps.

There is a close quarters fighting feat, most recently printed in Complete Warrior (p97) that allows you to get an Attack of Opportunity even against monsters with Improved Grapple; you get to add the damage you deal as a bonus to your opposed grapple check to resist being grappled.

We're at 12th level, going through the City of the Spider Queen module (modified, both for 3.5, and for the DM to help us level up, etc). Mostly, since we've moved to 3.5, we haven't faced a lot of creatures with spell-based energy resistance, so we haven't really had those protections hammered...

Completely anecdotal, but I'm seeing Scorching Ray cast far more often in the game I'm playing in than Melf's. Admittedly, the wizard is an evoker, so his spell focuses kick in with it, but S.R. seems much more powerful. However, I do think there is one thing that you're overlooking, and which...

Your arguement, however, doesn't include the other conditions where it works, namely blur, invisibility, and displaced creatures (such as displacer beasts). Wizards and aberrations are often foes of druids, and tend to prefer "you can't see me" tactics when in a fight, so it makes sense they...

Because right, no wizard values his sanity... :rolleyes:

Nothing in the rules that I've seen, but I've given said people bonuses as if they both possessed four legs...

Technically, an extended heat metal spell is useless except as a shield against a Chill Metal spell. After round 7, you'd get 7 rounds of "warm, no damage". Technically. When I had a PC cast it, I instead doubled the rounds for each stage, ie stage 1 lasted 2 rounds, stage 2 lasted two...

One thing you mentioned that I feel a need to address: you give out XP for roleplaying. That might be one reason why your PC's are advancing faster than you believe they should. Remember, XP is based on overcoming challenges. If you are giving XP simply because someone interacted well with...

3.0 (no books handy, but this is how I recall it): Save for normal results (1/2 damage, no damage, whatever), failed save, dmg x2. 3.5 Save or fail, you take the damage x1.5 so, under 3.0, a cold based creature got hit by a 20pt fireball. If they made the save, they take 10, if they fail...

None of my local retailers carry the magazine. :( can you do it online?

Anyone else have any ideas? I'm looking more for books where the familiars can actively take a part in magic, providing the wizards with assistance; for example, in the Taltos books, Liosh at one point takes over the concentration required for a spell while Vlad did another spell (or another...

Glad to be of service. :cool:

I'm thinking about writing some house rules to expand the roles of familiars for wizards, but I don't have a lot of fiction that features familiars. I have Steven Brust's Vlad Taltos novels, but are there are other series out there that feature familiars, or familiar like creatures, that I...
