I don't think so. The damage from the spell is halved, because that's what the save is for: spell damage. However, though the sneak attack damage is the same type, it also represents damage caused from the sneak attack ability. This extra damage stems from a vital area being struck, which...

I'm just playing devil's advocate here, not saying all wizards should do this...just that it is possible. I figure this thread was actually answered in the first 2 or 3 posts, so the last 4 pages or so have kind of meandered.

Well of course, but my point is that the wizard CAN add to their con more easily than most other classes. I'm saying a wizard is more likely/probable to have a higher con than several other classes. INT is the only must-have for wizards. Most classes have at least 2 stats they need really...

Not necessarily. A toad gives +2 con. And con is important for wizards, so it wouldn't be absurd for a wizard to drop his second highest stat in con. So, a 10th level wizard could easily have an extra 40+ hits just from con. Not to mention they can craft wondrous items to make that even...

*tosses Spikey a Bracelet of Friends* Hey, if you ever need a flank, I'm there.:D:cool:

Yes I understood this part, which is what confuses me. It works very similar to a critical. The only reason you don't double sneak attack damage on a crit is for balance reasons (it doesn't make any logical sense, based on Tome and Blood). For example, let's say that rogue casts Ray of Frost...

I HOPE you guys aren't talking about me!:D:cool: Btw, no one replied to my earlier post regarding the rule on doubling sneak attack damage. Normally, if you crit, you don't double (or triple) the sneak attack dice. So, it should follow that in circumstances like a ray of frost against a fire...

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: How about Fire giants instead of Red Dragons? [/b] Using a feat and one magic item is munchkin? I suppose your characters forego choosing feats and destroy all magic items then? Like I said, I acquired the ring in-game. Blame the DM for giving it to the nasty vampire that...

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: How about Fire giants instead of Red Dragons? Don't worry, I only "bite back" when someone is acting like a troll. 99% of the time, I am a polite poster. I agree that the bola is powerful, but I'm not sure if it's overly powerful. First, it's an exotic weapon. Second...

Good luck. The dc for UMD for wish is dc 34. A 9th level rogue could have 12 ranks+2CHA+2synergy (Decipher Script)=16. Roll an 18 or else hope that flying spell lasts long enough for you to 'get out of dodge'.

Re: Re: Re: How about Fire giants instead of Red Dragons? Nice assumptions there. Everything my pc has was obtained in-game from the DM and I break no rules. You can act like my 10 year old (when she was 5) if it strokes your ego, but I won't engage in a pointless and childish trading of...

Re: How about Fire giants instead of Red Dragons? And? My 11th level rogue/multiclassed pc would eat that Fire Giant for breakfast, averaging 82 points/round IF he hits all 4 times. Using just 2 +2 daggers. This is every round, without relying on scrolls. Just a good old-fashioned ring of...

Yes, but you're the one claiming the dragon example proves it's broken. The only time that Ray of Frost will do anymore than 2d3 damage to a Red dragon is if you somehow (yeah, right) catch him flat-footed and/or surprised. So, AT MOST, you could pull off 4 of these spells (if hasted, 2...

First off, it's bad form to start off an opinion by insulting anyone who disagrees with you. What is your problem with this? From a balance standpoint, I don't see how this is overly powerful. A few times per day the rogue/wizard can cast a touch spell and deal sneak attack damage. Wow...

Ok, I'm new at this. If you start off as a half-fiend, is that considered your 'race', or are you considered to be half-fiend, half some other race? Meaning, if you were half-fiend/human, would you get the human racial bonuses as well as the half-fiend bonuses? And this half-fiend/human would...

Can you tell I'm not a DM?:D Thanks for the info man. I'll talk to my DM and see if we can manage something.

http://www.wizards.com/dnd/article.asp?x=dnd/fc/fc20011208a Here they have 3 different illithid/monks, one at CR10 as a 8/2 illithid monk. Did they screw this up?

ECL + 18!!! That is insane. THanks for the info though.

So, could you start off as 5 hit dice and play it like that? Then go 3 more levels before being able to take class levels in, say, sorceror? Thanks.
