    Stat requirements

    Interesting. Would you also argue that a 1st level wizard who places 4 ranks in Spellcraft and takes the feat "Skill Focus: Spellcraft" now has 7 ranks? Or does he have 4 ranks with a +3 bonus? Or how about someone using a Third Eye of Concentrate? Would you argue that he now has n+10 ranks...

    Many Shot Question

    Where can I find the writeup of this feat? I've never heard of *Improved Rapid Shot*

    Stat requirements

    An enhancement bonus isn't a score. If my fighter has a STR of 11 and puts on Gauntlets of Ogre Power, his Strength score is still 11. The enhancement bonus of the item doesn't change the base score.

    New (Force) combat spells

    Yes, but I'm looking for ATTACK spells :) IRT Caliban: I haven't had a chance to look at the Spell Compendium. Perhaps I should pick it up. IRT Jack Simth: I don't think saves on Force effects are appropriate. SR, though, is another story. Actually, I have a hard time swallowing a no-SR...

    New (Force) combat spells

    The WOTC stuff I can think of at the moment includes Magic Missile(1st) and Orb of Force(4th). What else should I be considering? Magic Missile: 1d4+1, max 5, up to 5 targets. SR applies. Orb of Force: 1d6, max 10, 1 target, no save or SR. What stats would fill in spells to fit these...

    Help me improve my wizard

    Erhm, you can't have a Wand of Empowered Fireball - wands have a cap of 4th level spells, and EF counts as 5th. Oh, and my DM mentioned he might house-rule the Orb spells due to their no-save, no-SR status.

    Help me improve my wizard

    I'm keeping a feather in my cap for Magic Missile at 9th...I'm not convinced it's worth it at 7th, considering we gained 8th level at the end of tonight's session. I chose Spell Focus: Divination in order to keep with the divination theme. I realize it's a very poor choice, but I would've felt...

    Help me improve my wizard

    I'm playing a elven wizard, aiming for Loremaster at 8th and Archmage 13th, finishing as Wiz 7/Lor 10/Acm 3 at 20th level. In the last few game sessions, he's been rather underwhelming - the party is in the Underdark, clearing a Kuo-toan temple, and I'm running out of spells WAY too quickly...

    How many D&D/d20/OGL PDF's have you bought?

    Just one, HARP. It was $2 or so on special at one point, and I was curious. I STILL haven't had a chance to play a game of it though :/

    Urgent: "Catpeople"-Race needed!!!

    They do. A friend of mine is playing a Mythic Races catlike creature fighter in our Shackled City game.

    At what point does a monster become epic?

    It's definitely not by HD; an Ancient Black Dragon has 31 HD and is CR 19; thus, you can't really call him an "epic" challenge. The rule of thumb I would go by is have a cutoff by CR 21. But then, I'm not really sure what you mean by "epic monster". Presents an epic-level challenge to a...

    Do your players expect discounts for party made magic items?

    Uh, the other three characters in example 2 have 3500gp worth of treasure each. 2000+1500 = 3500. The crafter is still a bit better off in gear though lower in XP.
