Probably a cultural artifact left over from Tolkien. Powerful Wizards like Gandalf had staves, but only Sauron and the Elves could forge the Rings of Power. Personally, I like the high level requirement for the Rings - but think that the simple Rings, like Invisibility or Sustenance cheapen...

That's excellent! Have you posted that to House Rules for feed-back and good karma? If not, would you mind if I did? I really like the concept but would want to see that "the community" thinks of the pricing. Mac Callum

Summon Monster VI (which your Sorcerer should be high enough level to cast, although he might have to wait a level) can summon a Bralani, which can cast Cure Serious Wounds 2/day. Not great, but SM6 is a good spell anyway, and it helps. A more dangerous route would be a Planar Binding (lesser...

The balance is in the endurance. Fighter feats and Sneak Attack don't run out of power points. After all, Wizards outshine Fighters and Rogues in the round they get off their Empowered Fireball, and then they're spent. Same for Psi-guys. I'm sure the sitation where the Psi-guys excel will be...

Yeah, so I saw this flyer in my local gameshop about an AD&D 3rd. Ed. thingy, and immediately went home and searched* for any information on it online. Found this guy Eric's site ... not that anyone knew anything, being about 2 weeks after Gen Con. Mac Callum - who used to be Irda Ranger, but...

Oh, and Wizards don't rule the world because of Sorcerers, Clerics and Monks.

Don't think about this too hard - this way lies madness. If you really start to think about it, you say "Hmmm, if I used a Permanent Gate from the elemental plane of water, and encircled it with a inward facing Magic Circle, I could irrigate the Saharra." Or "Hmmm, Permanent Teleportation...

Oh my god! This roxors! I don't think I've ever said that non-facetiously before! Seriously, I was formatting the SRD myself in MS Word. Sovelior totally rocks! Too bad it has to be non-commercial, I'd pay a couple bucks for that.

I'm DMing my wife in a solo campaign with NPC helpers. She's a Half-Elven Rgr/Wiz2. Since she's in armor she mainly uses the Wizard powers for off-screen spellcasting and item use (wands, scrolls). I don't think it's a "power" combo, but it allows her to play the character the way she wants...

That is the coolest thing I have ever seen that's really for sale. It's even better than that old British aircraft carrier Brazil was selling.

I'm surprised no one had mentioned Combat Brute [Tactical Feat] from Complete Warrior. The Momentum Swing allows you to increase THF PA to +3 Dmg. per -1 Att. after a Charge. What does that do to the math?

Warning: Rant level 8.5 This is one of those PrCs I've been looking at, but I really can't get a handle on. I have a really hard time imagining why anyone would take more than 1 or 2 levels of this class (and they would only take it for min/max reasons or Darkvision). Mainly, it doesn't have...

I know why you think that Rogues & Rangers should have the best Defense Bonus: They're fast, quick on their feet, react well under pressure. Well, I say that's why they have Evasion and Uncanny Dodge. Same for the Barbarian. Good reflexes. But that doesn't mean they know how to fight, how...

Got a game for you. What spells would really come in handy in your everyday, normal life? Rules: No Fly or Teleport to avoid the commute. No Cure Disease to get rid of the unintended souvenir from spring break. No Wish or Miracle. Those are lame. My Entries: Fire Trap My old office...

I don't think that I've ever attempted a TPK and failed. I have had an attempted party discouragement that went suprisingly well for the PCs, but ended up being a TPK anyway. So the PCs had just escaped Zhentil Keep with news that the Zhentilar were going to attack the Dalelands in force -...

My point exactly.

I don't have much to add to the main topic, but I thought this has been the most respectful and mature conversation on the topic I have seen here at EN World. That shouldn't be surprising though, because EN World has many adult & mature members and posters. They are capable of respecting one...

Dude, this rocks! Thanks. The collection of available material was exactly what I was looking for. I'll be stopping by in the future. Mac Callum

Let's see... Simon says.... I can't really say I agree with you. Would you say that opening with Knight's pawn is a rule of chess, or your oponent's whim according to the rules of chess? Would you say that a grounder to right (right through your second baseman's legs) is a rule of...

Since he was addressing the Rules Forum posters about a specific Rule Forum matter, I think it's fine. I suppose that really hard questions aren't worth arguing about. The really simple questions may challenge people's basic assumptions - and most folks do not go quietly into the night when...
