I don't know if he fits what you're looking for, but there's always Primus- the supervisor/ leader of Mechanus and the Modron Race. The Planescape campaign setting seems to elude to him being a greater power on Mechanus, but he doesn't have any actual followers so his status outside of his...

Have you tried out playing with the 3.5 changes to spells yet or have you just looked at them? I also didn't like some of the changes at first, both as a DM and player, but have found they balance the game well. For example: We immensely enjoyed the 3.0 haste, not just spellcasters but...

Yes, but suddenly the cleric becomes associated levels for any creature as you could make that arguement with any creature. Unless of course you could name one that doesn't benefit from cleric levels. ;) I totally agree with you on the cleric levels should probably be associated, but IME at...

By the RAW a spellcasting class is nonassociated as long as the monster doesn't already possess spellcasting of that type (arcane/ divine), however I understand the argument of it being a bit powerful. I exploit the rules like that often when it comes to high level play, but it takes a...

A Frost Giant Cleric 20/Hierophant 2., a tank that could deal with both physical combat and spells with little problem. The CR would be 24 (9 base + 7 for 14 nonassociated class levels +8 for associated class levels). Here's a basic idea: Hit Dice: 14d8+20d8+2d8+360 (525 average hp) Init:+5...

Thanks for the quick reply :). That confirms what I believed, and it's nice to have a second opinion. [Homer drool] Mmmmmm mystic theurge loopholes [/Homer drool]

I haven't taken part in the discussion as of yet, though I've followed it and enjoyed it immensely, but I'd like a chance to field this question as it intrigued me. 1.) The spell mirror image would be a counter to the fighter hitting the wizard, the feat cleave would be a counter to that...

I have a quick question: If a class grants +1 level of existing spellcasting class, can this be used to improve the spells of another prestige class? If I'm a Paladin/ Pious Templar (CD) and take levels in Fist of Raziel (BoED) can I improve my Pious Templar spell progression? I think yes...

IMC baatezu typically enter into the Prime Material Plane to grab mortal souls. The reason being that divinity is a matter of having so many followers or believers, and possessing one's soul is a form of being a follower. So the Lords of Hell tempt mortals into following them to attempt to...

The Exotic Weapons Master was WotC's way of revising the Master of Chains as well as the Weapon Master for 3.5 There's a list that details the status on what has/ hasn't been converted to 3.5 here: http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/dnd/20050110x Hope that helps.

So what? I'm missing the point of lowering the point buy arguement. If you lower the point buy then not only does the monk's stats lower but so do the wizard's. The wizard will need a high Int and decent Con and Dex for hit points and AC/ touch attacks. The Monk I post needs a high Wis, and...

Here's my Monk that I hope would stand a chance against a Wizard: 20th level, 28 pt buy, 760,000 starting wealth (DMG pg 135). Human Monk 20; HD 20d8+100 (average 193); Init +11; Spd 90', fly 60' (boots); AC 37 t 33, ff 30 (+7 Dex, +11 Wis, +4 class bonus, +1 luck, +4 bracers of armor)...

A.) As far as fighter-type classes go: Move extremely fast to close with the monk in one round up to 180 feet away with a charge. This becomes moot in an open area, but in a more cramped area such as a dungeon could be effective. Once magical flight becomes a factor, most speeds will even...

Yes, a balor would decimate the monk as I said before. Also, gate is a powerful spell as I admitted before. However, the chance the monk has revolves around acting before the wizard does, as high level battles often come down to winning initiative. Actually no, I haven't. So instead of...

How was I talking about my campaign specifics? Someone tried to argue that 32 point buy was a high point buy when it seems the norm. Nobody else has called me out on campaign specifics, as I've used none. As for hurting America, I find it amusing that instead of coming back with a logical...

Finally caught up, now I get to eagerly await the next update with the rest. :D Shemmie, your writing/DMing is some of the most brilliant and inspirational stuff I've ever read. You've got me to dust off the old Planescape box and move my campaign into some planar intrigue again. I bow to...

Yes, but think it Skill's did have auto-success or failure. A commoner would have a one in twenty chance of launching himself into orbit with Jump :p .

I fail to see why the classes have never been balanced fighting against each other, or could not be. Is the idea of a monk opposing an evil wizard in the game that ludicrous? Do the PCs not fight the evil fighter warlord, or the kobold theif? They should be balanced for fighting each other...

I ran this huge dungeon crawl, and I have a few suggestions for you: 1.) Do something to spice up the Crater Ridge Mines, otherwise they become tedious beyond belief. Highlight the split and conflict in the temple, and do so in a way that's obvious to your players so they can catch on and use...

Ouch... darn Moment of Prescience... that does increase the chances of the first save enough to effect the likelyhood of the outcome. Score 2 points for the wizard. True but we run the risk of this going from a duel to a long term feud. Yes, but that and the chance of failing are why you...
