Well, that was one of the worst thought out posts I have ever seen. Dispel has a bonus with a cap that becomes largely ineffective around character level 12 or 13. I'm sure my 4 year old could come up with a better example. -Fletch!

Oh my god... :eek: 18000gp, plus 36000gp for every other skill I regularly use. It's only 162000gp for an item that gives +30 to five skills. Something every rogue should have. This is crazy. -Fletch!

THat's non-epic? What page? -Fletch!

Oh, I love these mature, unfounded, gross generalizations... :rolleyes: -Fletch!

Straight +2, Surestriking and elementals are nice, but do not forget wounding. It might fit your character concept very well. You can upgrade to Greater Wounding in a few levels. -Fletch!

A tad harsh, Tzarevitch, but that sums it up nicely. -Fletch!

Excellent exposition on the flexibility of Sorcerers, Fenes 2. It's not that hard to figure out, but very hard to get it into writing like that. :) -Fletch!

Oh, no problem. Anybody that bothers to edit their post for grammar is a good person in my book. ;) I don't like the staggered bit, and here is why. The purpose of a death spell is to simply cause death. The purpose of disintegrate goes a bit beyond that. While hide life prevents its...

Oh my god, you've got to be kidding!!!! HaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHa! You get one action per round, typically one spell for a spellcaster. If you haste, then it is two. That would be a doubling or a 100% increase. This thread is TOAST! -Fletch!

Duration is one factor of many. The primary issue here is the actual effect/result that you get for the duration.

But a slightly shorter duration does not negate the fact that they do the same thing. With haste in effect, combats do not last nearly as long. If you need more than 5 rounds of haste at a time, you can always reactivate with your last partial action. It's not like you are suddenly worse with...

Ditto what Numion said (asked). -Fletch!

Re: Re: Re: Pure speed! It just seemed that the basic idea/description/background (a character based on speed) was not really connected to the combat idea. Since you supplied a bit more data, it does make make a little more sense. I have played with players who think of the feat chains...

No, it is true of any item that does not specifically state a different caster level. That is the standard, not the other way around, and it applies in general to any item found, unless the DM says otherwise. If players want to do otherwise, it is their money/XP and their responsibility for...

No, we are talking about haste as an effect that can be achieved many different ways within the game. How can you possibly argue that boots of speed and a potion of haste or a scroll of haste or a spell of haste are fundamentally different when they all give an extra partial action (the primary...

PCs have all of the advantages, anyway. More and better equipment, typically they have strategic initiaitve, often more knowledge of the opposition than the opposition has regarding a small band of random mercenaries. So, let the NPCs use haste with impunity (assuming they feel their lives are...

OK, that is just absurd. The reason there are spells is so that you don't go through this garbage. Read 3E identify. You do know the charges and the most basic power. Since 95%+ of all items have a single function, it does tell you the 'whole powers' of the item. The rare case of a...

You are assuming that loss of body actually kills the victim. A vampire might not care a whole lot (the dust turning to gaseous form and all, eventually reforming a body). With hide life, you have a new circumstance where the character cannot be killed. That is the premise of the spell, and...

Re: Why D&D played like this sucks. I do this as a DM, but not because of archers. I do it because it makes sense... -Fletch!

And back to a recent poll, this is the value of the Sharp-Shooting feat from S&F. -Fletch!
