These stats are going to make his character. Make his character dead. Har har har. Seriously, he's going to have two good stats: whatever the 17 is in, and his strength. If he's going half-dragon (an overpowered template, thank god), I'd put the 12 into Str, the 17 into Con, the 11 into Dex...

Put them in a retarded gnome farmer and roll again, for christ's sake.

Fiction: "And I bequeath to you, young warrior, the Holy Blade of Lumaellor. With it your foes shall fall before you like rain." Gaming: "And I bequeath to you, young warrior, the Holy Blade of . . . " PC#1: Crap! It's a longsword! I don't HAVE Weapon Specialization: Longsword. PC#2: Yeah...

Except for the part about the guy turning into a rat that looks like an ungroomed Shih Tzu (he'd be about twice that size), I wholly concur with Daniel's suggestion of the best way to handle the situation. Unless this guy is wading in bardic knowledge, it's very unlikely he'd know exactly how...

I think that Foresight is clearly underpowered. It should be a 7th level spell, if that. Divine Might is also underpowered -- a 5th level spell that gives you a size increase and small Str boost for one round/level is pretty lame. I mean, compare to Poly Other/Self. Finally, Animate Dead is...

Let it out, let it out :D. It sounds like you made the right call -- this guy is clearly a wanker -- and I love the giveaway about how he'd read the module already. No loss, really . . . just time to find another group. And for god's sake, if you're still learning the game, don't DM! DM'ing...

Actually, they errata'd it to DC15 -- given that, it probably still makes sense to make it so that they get a save regardless.

Two-handed weapons give x1.5Str bonus; a 30Str gives him +15 to damage from strength alone.

I'm curious as to how people play it -- when you cast it in a location where someone is currently standing, do they get a save to avoid it/jump free, or are they automatically stuck (and have to make the DC check to escape) . . . TIA!

You realize that with Option #1, the ECL16 guy will not reach 17th level at the same time as his companions, right? He'll do it later -- perhaps considerably later. Which is a little odd.

I've got enough on my plate without having to worry about characters trying to kill each other off. Interparty friction, that's fun -- I have some great stories along that line :). But *serious* interparty conflict (i.e., the kind that could lead to combat) is straight out banned from the...

Damned straight.

I think I'd rather eat cardboard than Domino's pizza. Not sure if I'd be able to tell the difference. But I always pay in cash, and I always tip at least a couple bucks -- more if it's a big order. Unfortunately, I live in Boston where the pizza sucks ass. I miss living in Illinois . . . you...

From Dr. Clayton Forrester, the evil genius from MST3K, of course.

Of course, with GMW around, no one actually BUYS +5 arrows :). But 1,300 doesn't seem unreasonable. Technically, bcs it's a +6 weapon (just bcs of 1E nostalgia) it's an Epic Weapon and should technically go for oodles and oodles and oodles of $$.

I'm surprised no one has brought up orc babies yet.

The javelin of piercing has to hit . . . and, assuming an 18 Str for no reason whatsoever, does around 27pts of damage a hit. An arrow +5 fired from a mighty bow +1 will do around 14pts of damage a hit -- but it's a lot easier to fire multiple arrows in a round. Hmmm. Yeah, I think maybe...

Re: hey newbie, i mean forrester Um, yeah, except that fighters will do the exact same thing, and get x1.5 to their damage if they're wielding that +8 greatsword you're so worried about. If you really think that monks deal out more damage in combat than fighters do to anything except maybe...

Wow, that's one helluva troll . . . either that, or a post by a complete and utter newbie. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. And address two of your silly points -- I'll leave the other twelve to others. 1) DR 20/+1 at 20th level is just about worthless. Almost all foes you face at...

Help me price these, por favor: Potion of Resilience: +2 enhancement bonus to natural armor, DR 4/-, lasts for d10 minutes Potion of Invulnerability: +5 enhancement bonus to natural armor, DR 10/-, lasts for d10 minutes Javelin of Lightning: Does 5d6 shock damage (no save) on a hit (yes...
