Its set in Greyhawk so all core + splat books. My DM has not specifically banned anything in CD or BoED but we use discretion to not allow anything completely broken in. Drunkmoogle, Kiai Shout is not really in line with the character and divine spell power is a bit costly requiring the...

Well, perhaps he'd be dead anyway then. I know he took somewhere in the neighborhood of 50 damage or so from our paladin before he retreated. Our psion got lucky and criticalled on an AoO provoked by the giant casting somethiing and dealt something like 10 points of damage. I think our ranger...

Any takers?

Damn It!!! I think you are right. Each berry does damage individually so the way resistance works, it would be subtracted from each berry. Let's see. At 122 dmg, each berry did an average of 15. That means 40 or so points of dmg from the spell instead of 122. I don't know if that would...

That's a bit odd - he would get 11 saves?

So I've got a 6th level cleric, 6th level radiant servant of Pelor. He's got maxed out spellcraft, concentration, K(religion), and K(planes). He has Education, Strong Soul, Extra Turning, Quicken Turning, and Karmic Twin as feats already with Sun, Healing, and Glory domains. The character has...

So if every one of the 8 berries (using the detonation method) was in the same square does the damage equal 8d8+(8*level) dmg on a failed save? What if you cast the spell twice and had all 16 berries in the same square: 16d8+(16*level) dmg? I only ask because my 11th level cleric with the sun...

I disagree with the intent of this thread. What you are describing works for a sorcerer but will always yield sub-par wizards. A wizard excels in preparing and being prepared means there is no universal best spells. The choice will always be situationally dependent. If you want good all...

Here's how I'd handle it: Opponent's attempting to barrel in to invisible guy make standard touch attacks vs. invisible opponents provoking AoO's as normal. If they all fail their 50% miss chance, then they bypass the guy and nothing happens - end there. If any would successfully hit (making...

post not moot :) I thought there might have been something to the armor vs. NA thing. However, I thought somewhere it was written that for the purposes of DR, a brilliant energy weapon was treated as a touch attack (it is essentially the same thing, just that in this case, NA applies)...

Entire post is moot IIRC, when making a touch attack, you ignore DR, so a brilliant energy weapon bypasses all forms of DR. Of course, the whole NA vs. Armor may come into play and then be argued that it is not a touch attack. From 3.0 though, I could have sworn this conversation came up (or...

This would probably be considered a house rule, but I interpreted the "spells already cast" part to be those cast within the area of effect of the globe at the time of casting. Thus personal buff spells, and the like do not go away. However, a spell, even if cast before the globe, if cast...

Rap the power into one. Choose either of the 3rd level powers and keep as is. Then add: Augment, for 2 pp's + base cost you may use the other 3rd level power. For 4 pp's + base cost you may use the 4th level power. This would effectively shift the other 3rd level power and the 4th level to...

There is already a template for this: augmentation. The psion gets this already with many powers. Just have a house rule that makes the psion choose one of the three and with an augmentation to the next level power (in terms of PP's) he can use another of the abilities, and augmented to two...

Upon review, the Dwarf build is superior to human - he gets the dwarven war axe 1 handed for free (the equivalent of the bonus feat for the human) and gets a host of other benefits on top of that that I would think outweight the loss of a skill point/level not the least of which is the con...

I disagree about the TWF. All you need is the one feat to have the option and the option is what's important. Sure, you will not use it all the time, but the occassion when you would want to makes it worthwhile. Certainly don't go blowing feats on TWD, and what not and definately don't waste...

The first thing to do is determine what are the situations you are going to need to be good at. As was already mentioned, if you are a frontline fighter, taking the ranged attack feats will be sub-optimal because you won't get to use them very often...you are on the front lines. Of particular...

There is a feat called Ruthless Sting in Way of the Scorpion which increases the crit multiplier by +1 when attacking someone without their dex bonus. This feat gives the benefit you seek, but under specific circumstances. I think a feat that just gave the flat out benefit would be far too...

Perhaps the designers were simply sure to include the +1 CL/level for classes that were not designed as pure casters and the +1 CL/level was just assumed for pure casters. What do I mean: for Arcane Trickster, Eldritch Knight, etc. (your 2E multiclasses - rogue/mage, fighter/mage...

My post is entirely a rules extrapolation. The lava rule seems to be the most coherent ruling I can find. Based on the rule: If a fire elemental cannot enter water at all, I think what's behind the impassability of the water is that the fire creature would be destroyed. I would think it...
