    Help with an Ardent build

    Welcome! I'm not really familiar with psionic healers outside of egoists, but . . . where's your dispelling buffer? For a character that depends on self-buffs, that power is essential.

    COUNTERSPELLING: Dispel Magic Qustion

    Okay. Allow me to make an observation. Where the main difference between your understanding and the understanding of those you disagree with is in the hierarchical nature of counterspelling and dispel magic. Your position seems to be that counterspelling is here a subset of (and therefore a...

    Is my Paladin (rebalanced) tank ready?

    Aha, now this is the sort of question I love to answer. Aura of courage's worth is questionable, since for 1000 gp or so you can buy an item that does the same thing (it might be limited to 1/day, but honestly, it's pretty rare that you will use it more than 1/day.) Divine Grace is the real...

    Invasion of Mori - IC [3.5][CE/NE][planar]

    After a couple minutes of back-and-forth, Roillard rubs his temples. "If I may make a suggestion, it seems that each group is going to have its share of spellcasters. In that case, why don't we simply figure out who is going where, and then give each group a ring or two - provided that this is...

    Is my Paladin (rebalanced) tank ready?

    I just wanted you to understand that in a case like this I can't assume that life and hps are the same because people do turn up with strange custom homebrew rules where they are not the same. Things that are unambiguous to you are not automatically unambiguous to your readers. You can and...

    Monk Items stacking

    Bear in mind that whether or not the base monk bonus (Wis to AC) is included in such items is the subject of perennial debate. I believe that even DMs who do allow it to grant Wis to AC would not allow Wis to AC twice from two different monk items. So in that respect, it probably doesn't...

    wood shape

    Not that I'm not sympathetic to your argument, but the entire problem stems from a difference in vision concerning how this spell was meant to be used. Telling someone to obey intent is, IME, unlikely to help. (I say this having had to deal with players who lament the fact that they can't...

    Is my Paladin (rebalanced) tank ready?

    Maybe it isn't clear to you just how difficult your request is for people who know nothing about that custom class and your house rules, so here's another example: When I see this, I immediately wonder if you know that the +5 AC bonus from CE comes only when you're taking a -5 penalty to your...

    Is my Paladin (rebalanced) tank ready?

    Well, then you might want to make clear which parts are standard and which aren't. Given that this is a house rule class, it's a little hard figuring out when you mean when anything unfamiliar could either be just your wording, or an actual different class feature (like when you said "life" and...

    Two weapon fighting?

    Overall, the conventional wisdom is that two-handed power attacking is simpler and more cost-effective. Obviously, certain things change this assessment, like being a rogue and flanking your enemy (as earlier posters mentioned) or trying to power attack an enemy who can't be power attacked (via...

    Is my Paladin (rebalanced) tank ready?

    This is a custom class written by two fans. As such, very few people are going to have extensive knowledge of it, and it isn't really part of the standard rules. Bearing that in mind, my suggestion is that you move this thread over to house rules, because people who come in thinking that you...

    Artificer with PrC crafting caster level....

    That's Rules as Written (RAW). Archmage item creation is not a good example, because archmage DOES advance casting level, and item crafting is based on caster level. To confuse that situation with the situation of a wizard/cleric - two unrelated classes, neither of which advance the other -...

    Artificer with PrC crafting caster level....

    Depends on the PrC rules.

    The Invasion of Mori OOC [3.5][planar][PAUSED]

    Take whatever time you need; I wasn't sure if people had anything left to do and didn't want to keep everyone waiting. I recognized the rings on sight. Did you mean to address that sblock to me? :D

    Invasion of Mori - IC [3.5][CE/NE][planar]

    "May I suggest," Roillard cuts in, "that if we send the Lady an embassy, we . . . no, forgive my outburst. I am sure that you would not be caught. What would you like to disguise Rose and Aldred as? How long do you think the disguise needs to last?" He nods at Snargle. "I'm afraid I can't...

    Most wall spells that are shapeable allow reflex saves to get out of the way.

    Expansion or anything else that makes you larger.

    The Invasion of Mori OOC [3.5][planar][PAUSED]

    Just FYI, I will probably split into two threads once the party splits up. I'll cross-link them. If there's anything you guys need to buy or leveling up you need to do, post a short sentence in IC about how your character delved into the mysteries of magic, practiced martial arts forms, or...

    Prepared Empowered Fireball and Lesser Metamagic Rod

    How do you figure? It's still got the vulnerabilities of a 3rd-level spell (i.e. subject to globe of invulnerability, lower save DC), so why shouldn't it also get the benefits?

    Arabesu's Eyes of the Lich Queen, w/ Boons! - OOC

    So, I realize we've all been busy as we're all committed to other campaigns too, but it's been a week without an update. I believe we're all waiting for our ally, and we're going to lie low in the meantime.
