I'm looking for advice on statting out a somewhat non-standard build. Picking up Leadership at 15th level, I'm planning on adding an Arcane Trickster as a cohort. The group is sorely lacking in stealth, and I like the way that the wizard powers complement my own character's (a Wiz/Loremaster)...

How about a halfling druid/hafling outrider, mounted on a war dog that also happens to be his Aninmal Companion? You could Magic Fang and Animal Growth the heck out of Fido, and stay in the saddle so you can use Ride to negate hits, while you toss off flame strikes and lightning. I have no...

How about poisons? "Oil of Taggett" does no initial damage, but causes unsonsciousness if you fail the DC15 secondary save. Unconsciousness only lasts a few hours, but since there's no actual damage done, you could just re-apply to keep the spellcaster out for the full duration. If you're...

This puts an interesting thought in my head. If, after the entire series is done (let's say sometime between 2010 and the heat-death of the entire universe...), a competent editor sits down and culls the series into a 3 or 4 volume Abridged Wheel of Time, would the nay-sayers go back and read...

I'll second, third and fourth this observation. Improved Familiar can be a killer. The wizard I'm running now has the Air Mephit Diirk mentioned, and he's awesome. A familiar that can use equipment is a huge asset...a familair that can use MAGICAL equipment is a fiend. My DM felt the need to...

I'm looking forward to it. It looks like the casting was done well, the effects look good, and from what we;ve seen in the trailers, the sense of humor (humour, since it's British, after all?) seems to have survived the transition to film intact. I think we'll hear a lot of uproar form the...

And all for a third-level spell slot, too. That's worth having one less lightning bolt, just about any day of the week... Thanks.

Thanks. I think that's the best interperetation. What about the running? The fly spell specifically calls out that you can't run, IIRC, but Phantom Steed doesn't specifically forbid it...

So, I'm really digging the Phantom Steed spell right now. Especially at level 14+...it's like a fly spell that lasts 14 hours and moves you along at a speed of 240 feet. The only drawbacks seem to be its' maneuverability is only average, and you can fall off... At this level I'd argue it's...

I read that one as only granting one attack. Otherwise it would say "may make an extra attack with any weapons he his holding", or something similar. It specifically calls out "one" attack. You can pick which weapon you'd rather attack with.

Thanks, all. I also vaguely remember rulings that say the minuses from actions taken (say, form fighting defensively) apply until your next action (for AoOs and whatnot), so I'd assume that the -2 from rapid shot falls in this same category. I just couldn't think of the specific rules to base...

If a Hasted archer uses the rapid shot feat, what is the attack bonus of the hasted attack? Rapid shot lets you take an additional attack at full BAB-2, but all subsequent attacks are at -2. Does that -2 count towards the extra attack granted by Haste? I think that it does, but I'm not 100% sure.

Just how blown up do you want this campaign world? Are we talking some cites torched, scorched and barren earth from horizon to horizon, or "What's going on? There's not supposed to be an asteroid belt here..."?

I think the saving grace of the US version of the Office is that, other than the pilot, they're NOT going to be using the scripts from the UK show. Same premise, same characters, but writing their "own" episodes. I think this is potentially smart; the UK version is so well done, any re-make...

How did you set this up? Do you plan on using dragons solely as monstrous opponents and beasts to be slain, or are they going to be plotting, scheming BBEGs, with secret organizations and plots to overcome, and whatnot. It sounds to me like you're leaning more towards the latter, with the...

I'm about 2/3 of the way through Quicksilver, and while I'm loving it, I've BEEN about 2/3 of the way through Quicksilver for about 4 months now... I have a 2-year old and a 3+hour a day commute: I found I was reading this book in little fits and starts where I could find the time. 20 pages...

Wasn't there a thread a while back about brainstorming Planar Binding ideas? I think it was started by Olive, but I can't remember, and I can't search, so I'm not much help, am I?

Every game I've ever played in, and every game I've ever run, has had dragons as epic forces of Good/Evil, that dwarfed the power of mere mortals. Up until about 15th level or so, an encounter with a dragon was one where you considered yourself lucky to escape alive, never mind defeating it...

Best threat that comes to mind right now wasn't from a villain, it was from my PC, told TO a villain. A low-end lackey-type who had just been beat down. "If you ever try anything like this again, I will find you. I will polymorph you into an orange, I will peel you, and then I will dispel...

Hmm...most of my favorite bindings were 3.0, where you could get up to 8 HD, but I'll see if I can think of any that would still be good... A 3rd level Azer expert, with skills in armor/weapon smithing and a bunch of Crafts. Pay him in materials that can't be had on the Plane of Fire, and he...
