This sounds very interesting! I see that you list XPH as permitted material, but you have a very short list of allowed races. Will you allow Elans?

There are two level 1 assassin spells of interest: Sniper's Shot lets you ignore range for a single sneak attack. You still have to see the target, it can't have cover, etc. But you are no longer bound by 30'. Sniper's Eye allows you to Death Attack at up to 60'. It also sets SA to 60', so...

Well, it's okay for dungeon crawling groups. It's another example of the authors assuming that the iconic DnD adventure is what they should write towards.

That's a pretty compelling argument, Herzog. Thanks, everyone!

To quote a classic Nail post: "I suspect you haven't seen a DM make judicious use of Power Attack." :D

Shadow and Dark both come to mind for me as well, but I disagree with the assessment that Dark is weak. Dark gives HiPS, which alone is arguably worth a +1 LA. The rest of the stuff (darkvision, cold resist 10, etc.) is just a bonus. IIRC, there are some circumstances where you explicitly...

I am 100% positive this has been done exhaustively at least three times, but I don't have any links on hand. You might want to search the CharOp forums at gleemax.

There was a HUGE argument a while ago in the charOp community over the validity of emulating caster level for ridiculously high caster levels (given that there is a trick to getting a skill check of over 1 million). There were some wild builds centered around high caster level (I think...

The only one I recall is the bluespawn godslayer, and those were presented first as Outsiders and later as Monstrous Humanoids. I don't think they were ever Dragon. I suppose I could take the Draconians from DragonLance. I know I have statistics for Baaz, but I wonder if Kapaks or Bozaks are...

There's no reason to think it has changed; it's just that most campaigns do not involve difficulties connecting with the Ethereal Plane, so it isn't mentioned. Quite obviously if you can't reach the Ethereal Plane, you can't benefit.

HotD can do something that no other class, feat, or even spell can achieve. If you're a strong believer in putting things to rest for good as soon as you kill something, then it's likely to appeal to you. Mostly I find it appeals to those who are sick of having their old foes brought back...

This is true - though if it means the DMs sends more full spellcasters at you, that's not exactly a blessing. :D

That's why I picked it :D I'm not sure what the best dragon form is, though. There's probably something with high natural armor, but its claw and bite attacks might be weak. I don't know . . . all those 2nd level slots are going to be powering Wraithstrike all the time. The same applies to...

Okay, the split is here and now. If there's anything you wanted to do before leaving, well, we had over a week to get it done. ;) When the goblin and town groups get resolved (hopefully this will happen at roughly the same time) we will return to the original IC thread.

Yay!

After a hearty meal, you watch as the goblin delegation gathers around the cultist from before, who bears the same ornamented staff. Gesturing, she forms a circle and touches one of the party lightly with the end of the staff. There is a flash of brilliant blue light, and the goblin delegation...

The food is most excellent, a rare thing for meals in the Lair of Shadows. Roillard hands you a very crude map of the surrounding area, which is dominated by forests. A small stream runs through the forest where the goblins reside, and though there is a path through it, notes on the map...

As preparations begin in earnest and everyone packs up, Roillard speaks up once more. "Well then," he says, "I may not have ox stew, but I have taken the liberty of having a meal prepared should you wish to dine together before heading off." Town Group Silhouette Rose Gabriel Goblin Group...

I personally believe that Elusive Target will save you from a lot more than 1 hp/level worth of damage. The only real question is whether you will face heavy power attackers often enough to make it better than Improved Toughness. Usually I would say you could expect it, but it comes down to...
