    Help me build a versatile Sorcerer

    Wall of Fire is pretty rocking as both a damage spell and a tactical utility spell. Now you can place the wall on a line of creatures and they will take 2d6+8 (8th lv caster) damage with no save. You can also use it to entrap an enemy and they can either stand in the cylindrical wall and take...

    email would be prefered. Sorry I haven't been around the last week, I've been out of the country. I'll try to catch up.

    Need San Francisco gaming info

    Probably the easiest way to get to Gamescape from Geary is to take the 38 bus that runs on Geary West bound. Get off at Divisidero and catch to 24 bus going south then get off at the Fell Street stop. Gamescape is on Divisidero between Fell and Page. Don't be intimidated by the shrink wrapped...

    What's your favorite 3.5 class?

    Druid all the way. Very adaptable class. Bombard the enemy with spells or use your magic and wild shape to go toe to toe. Good skill selection, great powers, d8 hd, medium bab, 2 good saves, and lots of spells. Being able to default to Summon Natures Ally is just icing on the cake.

    D&D 3.x 3.5 Astral Construct C menu powers qu

    I would guess that since they listed a manifester level that like all other psi-like abilities they get augumented for free. So Concussion Blast would deal damage as though augumented to 7 power points, same with Energy Bolt.

    [XPH] Psion versus Wizard/Sorcerer

    Another easily overlooked roadblock for Psions is that quite a few of their high level powers that don't deal direct damage are mind-affecting. Constructs, Undead, and Mindblanked enemies will laugh in your face. Sure there is Shatter Mindblank, but you don't want to be required to use that...

    D&D 3.x astral contruct 3.5

    DR/Magic may be crap versus a lot of other adventurers and humanoids but it does come in handy against a lot of the 3.5 Outsiders who just have alignment based DR. Quite a few are just treated as chaotic and evil or what have you with their attacks. While the construct can't get through the...

    [XPH] Psion versus Wizard/Sorcerer

    Sure the Sorcerers Fireball still does 10d6, but it only costs him a 3rd level spell slot. For the Psion to scale the Energy Ball up to 15d5 it would cost 15 power points, the equal to an 8th level spell slot. For just a 5th level spell slot the Sorcerer could have empowered their Fireball...

    Mechwarrior: "Days of the Jackal"

    Alex thinks to himself, Either they did really well or are managed to get their mechs slagged without doing any damage to the enemy. Probably the former, hope they wouldn't be pulling the bad seeds into the back room. Much to Alex's suprise he finds himself next in line for one of the Academy...

    The Liberation of Tenh (updated April 24)

    Poor Henet isn't going to look so FINE with a huge scar on his neck. Though does that mean that Nebin will take over the Boon Companions? A gnome in charge is just silly even if he is packing the high charisma and social skills. Nice to see Jespo getting his items back. Sure he can't use...

    Mechwarrior: "Days of the Jackal"

    Having finally made it into the inside of the Dark Knight villa Alex notices the Academy class simulators. He wanders over and inspects them to see if they really are top of the line or last years model.

    Known errata/errors in the XPH

    Found a couple more as I read through the powers. On p. 104 Energy Wall lists a save a Reflex half or Fortitude half; see text. The text states that creatures do not get a save vs the Energy Wall if it is manafested on creatures. On p. 105, Expansion's duration is listed as 1 minute/level...

    Mechwarrior: "Days of the Jackal"

    Alex returns to his hole of an apartment and cleans up and changes into his old Davion fatigues. The patches have been removed except for his former rank insignia and his name. He then catches a taxi to the Dark Knights building. As the taxi nears the building he can see the line of...

    Known errata/errors in the XPH

    Not really errata but Deja Vu is listed twice, once on page 91 then again on page 92. Funny joke. Still slowing reading through all the powers, I'll let everyone know if I spot anything else.

    Mechwarrior: "Days of the Jackal"

    Alex emerges from a repair port in his Wolverine, "Dragonslayer" to see what the commotion is in the hangar. Several pilots and technicians are gathered together and appear to be looking at something. Alex climbs down and grabs a rag to wipe the coolant and grease from his hands and forearms...

    Battletech/Mechwarrior PbP: "Days of the Jackal" [closed]

    I like option number 2 from the first set of choices Douane. Having the 4th Succession War start gives us a lot of potential for jobs. Depending on who hires us there are a wide variety of missions we can undertake. I'd rather we start slowly rather than be thrown together, but since it is...

    Battletech/Mechwarrior PbP: "Days of the Jackal" [closed]

    One thing to remember about regular machine guns is that they are absolute hell on infantry. Each one has the capability to kill 24 infantry out in the open, or 12 if they have some cover. As a scout mech you will probably run into infantry in your scouting duties. Granted the LCT-1V has WAY...

    *points at picture* Better watch out or the Harmony Gold Police will be after you Douane! ;) Radiant, the Phoenix Hawk in mech form looks like a Veritech mecha from Robotech in its humanoid form. Or just picture the old Transformer Jetfire. Unfortunately you don't get cool head lasers like...
