    Help pick a feat for my soon to be level 18 wizard

    I will soon be hitting level 18. I will likely only be playing this character for a few more sessions (5-8 at most) so I need something that pays off in the short term. Here is the character I'm currently playing: Middle Aged Grey Elf Wizard 7 / Loremaster 7 / Archmage 3 Elf Generalist...

    Order of the Stick 610 (merged)

    1) I had read the strip already. 2) My post was in a different thread, pre-merge. 3) That thread put a spoiler punchline in the thread topic. 4) My comment was on behalf of people who hadn't read the strip yet. And you would be entirely wrong on multiple counts. But don't let that stop you.

    Order of the Stick 610 (merged)

    Yeah, spoilers and duplicating threads, both in one shot. Congrats.

    How would you prefer D&D class abilities to be handled?

    I like 3E. It has its fair share of solidly themed 1-20 classes (druid, beguiler, duskblade, etc), some basic customizable building block classes (fighter, wizard, sorcerer, cleric, psion, rogue), and a mix and match system that lets you put together what you want. A nice middle ground. 1, 2...

    4e and Hybrid Classes

    Unique? Really? .... Paladin. Hexblade. Duskblade. Just because they weren't using the word "roles" officially, doesn't mean the same basic effect wasn't there. I picked those three for comparison because their extra abilities are fairly static (relative small spell lists). Just...

    Druid Magic in the desert

    Dragonwriter already addressed the desert life issue. You can also look at Sandstorm for more thoughts on the matter. Instead, I'm focusing on this small part: No. It is a terrible idea. Boning your players relatively arbitrarily and without warning, especially in the case where it deals...

    Question about mace of disruption

    I concur on the vampire. The lich I can go either way with. The same problem applies when you talk about ghosts as well, I think. I don't think I'd feel strongly enough to argue with a DM who ruled either way.

    Comparison: Wyrmling dragon and a cat

    And no one seems to be taking issue with the basic premise of comparing a housecat to an imaginary fantasy creature.

    Knowing opponent's alignment quickly.

    Have a Stalker of Kharash in your party. He can smell your stench of naughtiness.

    Adding a werewolf template to an existing character, help please!

    If you come to the rules forum, you'll get rules based answers. If you want house rules, you should say that in your OP. :)

    Swift Hunter et al.

    These feats in Complete Adventurer and Complete Scoundrel allow multiclassed characters to continue advancing class features of their two classes by stacking the levels of two specific classes Swift Hunter for example allows you to stack your scout and ranger levels to determine your total...

    Adding a werewolf template to an existing character, help please!

    Don't forget this: Werewolves are Chaotic Evil.

    D&D 3.x [3.5] Where'd you get that map, again?

    That's pretty sweet. Had I known of this item a year ago, I most definitely would have bought one for my current character.

    3.x ed.--While Playing My 15th Level Wizard Last Night, I Realized Something...

    Just looking in the SRD here, and excluding even defensive spells that any Wizard might prepare just in case, or non-violent combat stuff to deal with bar fights/angry mobs: 8th Level: Greater Planar Binding - Extraplanar creatures can serve as a source of information or useful powers, not...

    Anticipate Teleporation debate

    Now that you mention it, I use Dimensional Jaunt and Anticipate Teleportation... and I never thought about whether it affects me. I need to mention this to the DM. (I'm always the player in the group who points out when the rules go against the party... yeah I'm that guy.)

    Anticipate Teleporation debate

    I see it as the opposite. There isn't a need to "defend" against it any more than there is a need for a necromancer to "defend" against death ward. It is itself a defensive spell which helps handle the whole scry/teleport tactic. Edit: I agree that teleporting 10 feet could trigger the...

    Anticipate Teleporation debate

    But it only affects people teleporting INTO the area. You aren't at the place you're teleporting to yet. Ergo, the spell isn't in effect wherever you're going.

    Retrospective: 3.x stuff I'm glad I left behind

    Speaking as a player of a currently 17th level wizard: I don't want my spell list dumbed down because your players can't seem to handle being able to play a complex character. But hey, that is why our group is sticking with 3.5.

    Dragons by terrain - are they any for savannah/plains?

    As soon as you start using a non-standard dragon, especially one your players don't recognize, you're free to change alignments and whatever to suit your needs. What is most important, the existing background of a dragon, or just having premade stats?
