    You're a 3.5 Conjurer. What are your opposed schools?

    My current wizard is an conjure. I picked two outragous oposition schools evocation and transmutation Required feats Sp focus Conj which leads to Improved Summoning (again the UA option would be preferable here) sp Focus is a bit of a waste, not enough spells to use it with. I ended up...

    Using Bluff to hide while meleeing (with HiPS)

    He has concelment. The town watch knows where he was when he disappeared. if he dose not move then when the town watch attacks that square there is a 50% mischance. I think the real interesting rule is the rule that states -20 to hide while attacking. Does that mean if you are engaged in...

    Using Bluff to hide while meleeing (with HiPS)

    Why do you need a diversion to hide when you can hide in plain sight? We have played this as a near invis type ability. Hide in plain sight = no cover or concelment required. As an example. Normal hide situation: Town watch vs rogue. Townwatch sees rogue. Rogue hides behind a crate...

    How do you defend alignment in D&D

    In a fantasy world it defines many character world interactions. Character behavior should be monitored only for those classes which have those kind of alignments. It can be used quite well and it can be abused. Examples: neutral wizard who summons fiendish creatures on occasion is chastised...

    Tenser's floating Disk

    I was all for the riding idea. I started a version of this thread which sparked a firestorm of arguements. I especially liked the vision of the wizard being pulled by his toad familiar on his tensor charriot. All in all I sided with the no riding. My version of this spell involved casting...

    Summon Monster alignments

    Just wanted to add: You marked the bison like it was bad. That Bison is a bag of own. The party always feels better when the sacred cow comes out.

    D&D 3.x Spell/Rule Changes from 3.0 to 3.5 -- How did we survive 3.0?

    Agree on all that has been said about the benefits of 3.5. What I noticed which has not been mentioned. They killed the fighter/mage archtype :( . Who I admit was a little over powered, In that he was as effective as a fighter at times and was a lot of fun to play. The transmutation school...

    AD&D second edition: Why be hatin'?

    As far as i'm concerned 2nd edition is a pale shadow to third. Every wizard(or insert other class) was the same as every wizard(or insert other class). Poor flexibility in multiclassing with strange penalties/limitations Crap for skills Poor mechanics thaco/ac/why does my monk not get a dex...

    Calm Emotions

    I would not call this spell useless. Situation A large group of enemies say 18 The cleric casts calm emotions on say six of them. Mantains that control for 2 rounds. Instead of eighteen the party deals with 12, which can and does effect those encounters. I don't know about your encounters...

    More killer spell combos

    In general grease is great for shutting down the boss fighter. You can grease his uber weapon. Each round a reflex save must be made or it drops. I've also seen it used to make a lich drop his staff of fire. The DM did not like that one. I dod not know of a first lvl spell which can really...
