An infinate layer of a grassy field littered with rakes, so that whenever you took a step, you'd be sure to step on the tines of the rake, causing the shaft to fly up into your face for 1d6 damage.

Maybe - a lot depends on the changes. If they're pretty minor, probably not. If they're major and for the worse, defiantely not. If they're major and significantly better than 3.5, then probably, but I think this is the least likely possibility.

DR doesn't stack. If you had DR 2/- and 3/adamantine, then you would stop 3 hp per hit from most attacks, but only 2 from adamantine.

Go Blue! Can't wait for the re-match!

There's a 1st level evocation in the spell compendium (which I don't own), called something like thunderhead which creates a mini thundercloud over the target and zaps him with lightning for next to no damage for multiple rounds. This is actually not such a bad choice for warmages, since if you...

True, but what about a catapult? I know you can just fudge it and determine what you want it to be mid-game, but it would be nice to have it as part of the stats. Siege engines are worth targeting with area of effect spells, etc in ways that weapons aren't.

Does Heroes of Battle have rules for destroying siege equipment? I was very dissapointed when I realized the DMG didn't have hardness, hp for a balista.

There's always anti-magic field.

My 6th level abjurer routinely runs into combat by round 3-4 (partially explained by his 5 Wisdom). Once he's buffed up, he's still got one of the best ACs in the party. He'll let loose with a big gun offensive spell, and sometimes a flaming sphere which is controlls with his move action, and...

I just wanted to have the tally reflect I'm another person who heavily used the recent posts from the front page. I miss it, and feel that my use of the forums will decrease (I don't post often, but do like to read a few threads a day - I just don't have time to read as much as I'd like). If...

The same way they'd deal with a flying wizard. Archery, magic missiles, produce flame, scortching ray, spiritual weapon, summoned flying monsters - there's lots of ways.

How about a high magic fantasy setting advanced several thousand years from the pseudo medival setting typical of D&D? Somewhat like a modern fantasy setting, except set in a world which had always been high magic?

I use http://www.movie-list.com/ It has daily updates of new trailers, as well as a pretty deep collection of older trailers under the classics link.

Well, boosting your Str and increasing the mighty strength of your bow is one way. Also, to increase your chance of critting, power critical will help confirm the threats you get, especially with your lower BAB attacks. You might also consider penetrating shot - against many foes you'll get...

Can you say where your damage is coming from already so we can suggest things you don't already have?

I'm playing a Dwarven Defender now, and if I ever get high enough level, plan on taking Archmage for a wizard character.

Once we were dating, my wife joined my game for about a year, and decided that RPGs weren't for her. However, she goes to Gen Con with me every year and enjoys all of the card/board game options there.

Line of effect for spells requires a 1 foor square hole opening in a barrier to be able to target through it.

I have a character with 18 Int, 5 Wis - he's a wizard who constantly makes unwise choices - mainly rushing off into melee when "it makes the most logical sense" and knowing that his magic "is superior to the mere mundande weapons" of his foes and will therefore protect him from harm. This is...

Only HD-DVD will play current DVDs - it sounds like a no brainer to me. Blu-ray will become the next Betamax - how Sony doesn't learn.
