Oh, man. You guys are, as ever, an inspiration. No epic advancement huh? Wait, no, you still distribute levels. Nevermind... Can't wait to see how you guys look- is it gonna be like in the ELH, where all the idolize show up in flashy but mostly-useless stuff, like a helmet of ioun stones, twelve...

I went through something similar just tonight. The end result was something like "you're making stuff up to cover for screwing up!" I feel somewhat screwed, and couldn't put my finger on why- was I just being a poor player? PC said it best. The DM's actions just stripped away any immersion. I...

There are several ways around these issues. Arcane archer itself won't work as printed (it's BaB requirement is one point too high) but other PrCs? It is possible to "dope" prerequisites. A quick survey of the SRD PrCs shows that it's nigh impossible to abuse though. Say we have a rogue 5...

A decade? Has it really been that long?! Yes, I started reading in highschool... And still I find myself returning. Other stories, other worlds, rise and set like the sun and moon. Other games come and go as the tides themselves. Still, I return. I return, and I sit. Here by this old...

Ach, dammit Grodog! You're always just one bump ahead of me. Every time come to bump, there you are. You've become my own personal reoccurring sub-boss. ;)

Ach. You, PC, are a tease.

You know, I'm not sure. Before I realized there was a distinction between Asmodeus and The Adversary, I would have said no. To much opacity ruins any chance of empathizing with a character, and it seems that empathy is somewhat called for, given the Miltonian feel. But in all honesty, who is to...

Quite. Your explanation is great, too. I'll have to remember that. And isn't that what makes the Adversary a character rather than some exposition? We have Tramst, who we can empathize with, but Oronthon is sort of a background picture so we have a frame for celestials popping up. The...

I doubt that Angels seeking individuality can be anything BUT a fall, if only because that's how creation was set up. A Fall is the rejection of Oronthon's will. In accordance with His will, the angels were selfless. Therefore, seeking to individuate is to Fall, because Falling was made part...

He'll cut his way out. Heck, if we're lucky he'll make the grapple check and crawl back up into RL's mouth, and from there it's all about avoiding the bite attacks and the improved grab. Sorry, been brushing up on the swallow whole rules-set...

That's another yes for the write-up, PC. ALSO, how does the group dynamic hold together? I know it's a weird question but... How do you guys develop organic relationships with each other? With exception of a single player, there is no way anyone in my group will treat me differently as a...

Ach, you all are killing me! All these subtle hints (subtle as a Dranko at least) about your cool superawesomebossfightextraordinaire extravaganza, and we don't get to see it! For a good while, at least... Is anyone sure that these posts all come from the players? Maybe Sagiro is posting all...

Congratulations folks! That's what, 2 levels every year you've been playing aye? I wish I had a game whose story was worth that... Hey PC, what are the odds of Dranko re-earning his fame as some sort of epic reward? For extra points, make him choose between the possibility of recognition, or a...

Yep. Bt bardic music itself states that once you stop performing, the effect continues for another five rounds. Now, during these five rounds, If I use inspire courage again but this time I choose not to use dragonfire inspiration, that gives me: 4 rounds of two bardic music effects 1 round of...

Works best at low levels I guess, bt I'm looking at two things in particular. One is that an unmodified bardic music effect lasts for an additional 5 rounds before expiring. The other is that Morale bonuses don't stack for the same thing. But can they "stack" for different attributes? Say, a...

Ugh. Designed to Lose fights are the worst. If they lack the chance, no matter how remote, that you can win... It's not a fight, it's a cut-scene. No-one likes huge character alterations from cut-scenes. And appologies for not finding the proof meself, I was browsing before bed and couldn't be...

Hm. Well, a high jump would be difficult, aye. My idea actually hinges on whether it's one-half or one-quarter (wherein 'it' is the heigt of a horizontal jump). I've always played it half and had no corrections, but when you can leap 30' horizontally that starts to sound asinine. As for whether...

Actually, if dragons resisted all attempts to render them non-conscious, why don't they benefit from the Diehard feat at all times and have a sidebar saying that nonlethal damage and suffocation cannot render them unconscious? Because they would have to have full-spectrum protection for your...

Aye, I actually remember the snippet "eagle of Ghom" but not the context. That's really what throws me; not what they are but how they fit.

This seems easy. If the enlarged cleric were surrounded on all 12 squares, make a jump check. It's usually a snap to jump up to about your waist (the rules say three feet I think, but for a medium creature). You should be able to barely clear a 5' space, enough to move "through" the enemies...
