    Are you glad that Increased Threat Ranges no longer stack?

    So what's your favorite revised class?

    Bards, because the armor use with spells makes them able to go into combat and thus not just a subpar mage. Other that that druid is solid, and the paladin better (but still a little too much front loaded). I've got a sinking feeling that the ranger got too much, it almost combines all the...

    Travels through the Wild West: Books V-VIII (Epilogue)

    And a final thank you from me as well, Lazybones. The epilogue was wonderfully written, one of your best moody pieces. It's been a bumpy ride, but I've been a (mostly) faithful reader from day one ;) I'm both sad and happy that the tale has finally come to an end. Good luck with your next...

    Player wanting to play a Ghaele

    We played a one-shot with a 7th level Ghaele (my wife) and a 7th level Astral Deva (me). They were both hugley overpowered for their level, in praticular the Ghaele. Its only (small) disadvantage is the lack of armor feats, but that is easly countered by the +4 (!)magic circle and a magic...

    [OT] Norwegians rejoice! Happy 17th of May!

    The short story is that the first (independant) constitution in Norway was signed on the 17. of May 1814, after 300 years of danish rule. After that we were in a (somewhat loopsided) union with Sweden until 1905 when we finally got our independance. In reality we were traded as war spoils...

    Agents of Chaos (Final Update!)

    Wow! Finally got through it all last night, and I've definitely found a new story hour I'll subscribe to. Lots of action, witty dialogue and a very fast pace. Also love the small touches, especially the names - they make the world come alive. I'll try out the previous story hour when I get...

    Styptic most useless spell ever?

    Back to the topic of styptic... At the Wizard's site they just published this spell; So there is at least one spell where styptic can be useful. 3.5 might remove the rule that bleeding is stopped by any cure spell (only a heal), and in this setting styptic suddenly looks more useful. .Ziggy

    Small Beginnings - Final Update 6/18/04, ITEOTWAWKI, AIFF!

    Excellent, glad you are back. Hope everything is beeing sorted out at home so your avid readers can get their fix again :) Very interesting read, I've seen this module played in a couple of stories before, but this is by far the most believable. Love how they scout and plan before the battle...

    Magic Fang Question

    From the SRD: It's not 100% clear, but I would say that it only affects one claw, as the spell only affects one natural weapon (not a type of natural weapons). AFAIK spells persist with wildshape, so you would keep your Magic Fang (claw) after wildshape. But I would rule that it only has...

    A complex question for you gaming-gurus out there...

    May I suggest that her husband should cast a permanent Teleportation Circle (or even a portal) ? A steal at 4500 XP and 1000 GP, as it makes transportation soo much simpler. .Ziggy

    Class skill/cross class skill

    I coulndn't fint it in the SRD, but the rules are (taken from memory): Tumble would be cross-class, as it is not on the Fighter class skill list. That means double price when buying ranks. But it is considered a class skill for the purpose of max rank (unless it is exclusive). Thus max rank for...

    Balance of ECL values

    In my view the ECL values of SS are: Too high for any spellcaster, as more than ECL 1 is almost impossible to balance with special abilities (see also the Mystic Theurge discussion) Pretty correct at low levels for other classes Too low at high levels for most classes when your higher CON...

    [SS] Have you guys played any monsters?

    On wednesday I'm playing a Astral Deva, while my wife will play a Ghaele (two celestials). At 6th level (for this one-shot) they are extremely powerful, especially compared to a fighter and cleric of the same level. Their relative power drops a bit when you get past 10th level, but at lower...

    Need clarification on total damage from a charge with lots of modifiers

    And especially effective if you combine it with high dex and Combat Reflexes. That will stop them from using ordinary moves to get inside your reach as well. Another tip is to use trip (even better with reach). Even with his high strenght he is vulnerable to large monsters with similar...
