    Whirling Blade with Arcane Strike

    Sigh. Making me quote the whole thing, aren't you? See the underlined part? See the comma? See the lack of a period? "you gain a bonus" Everything after that is a Bonus. Sorry, but I spent years reading contracts and screwing people over with them and getting paid for it. Everything after...

    Xp Problem

    My advice to my fellow DM's is thus: A player's ears are in their back and they hear best when they are beaten. If the player wins. Congratulate them. Shower them with praise. Then murder them as hard as you can. This sort of behavior cannot be tolerated. As soon as one player wins, the rest...

    Whirling Blade with Arcane Strike

    Sorry, but I just read the feat. "you gain a bonus on all your attack rolls for 1 round equal to the level of the spell sacrificed" Key word being BONUS. It doesn't ADD damage to your attack, it is a BONUS to your attack. So, you use a free action to burn every spell you know into your...

    Xp Problem

    Inform him he gets XP for every bugbear he killed. Put a piece of paper on the table with a great big 0 on it. Ask him, "You did see the bodies, right?" Reveal they all sleep in extra dimensional caves created by priests of Gruumush. Have 875 Bugbears raid their home down from the astral...

    Favored Soul

    It's a Trap! It's one of those classes that looks good at a distance, but when you actually start playing it is horrible. Clerics already have many options for getting spontaneous casting. The need for both Wisdom and Charisma makes the Favored Souls a MAD class. Charisma for number of spells...

    Odd things I found in the rules

    Toad familiars on stilts. So you have a familiar with low movement. Well, you can get a stilts from the A&EG at 5gp for a 2 foot pair and it will increase the familiars base speed to 20’. The familiar must make a DC 5 balance check every round, so increase your balance score to 5. Also...

    monk weapons

    Uh... where did you get that from? I know of no ruling that states that a monk does not get the strength multiplier on flurry of blows. If fact, if I take a NoNW, add sizing to my fist, I can increase the size of my fist to a 2 handed weapon, hold my fist in two hands, then add the two handed...

    Wild Mage Questions

    If you want to run it that way, that's cool. But that's not how it reads. RAW is RAW. you might feel it's different. You might have different house rules that lead you conclude things a certain way. But wild mage changes the SPELL. Empower and Maximize affect random values as the spell is cast...

    Wild Mage Questions

    Technically, practiced spellcaster won't work because the CL is only reduced for the spell itself. His CL is still X, not X-3. the CL for the spell, and the spell alone is -3. The Feat only helps you if your base CL is reduced. Addendum: Doesn't mean it might not get past a DM who doesn't think...

    Wild Mage Questions

    Wild Mage CASTS. Not IS. It does not effect your actual caster level one iota. It only adjusts the caster level of a spell as being cast. if your level is adjusted below the point of being able to cast a spell (which is very very rare, but there are a few spells with a minimum caster level)...

    Is it me or is death knell a crap spell?

    Line up 20 or so 2 HD victims. Murder them one at a time with a wand. Get +20 to your caster level. Cast a spell to be hit with permanency. Watch people try to dispel magic a CL 35 level. Expensive, but you get what you pay for.

    immediate and Swift actions

    HO-LEE CRAP! LOOK FOLKS... I'm right. 100% right. Everything you are arguing can be solved by just reading the second post in this thread and accepting it. Why? Because I've already had all these arguments and hashed it out. I spent 3 days just figuring out the difference between 3.0...

    immediate and Swift actions

    Yes, you can in the same round, but not the same turn. Let me explain. You seem to be using different terms interchangeably when you shouldn't. You get in a round exactly ONE TURN (baring certain weird PrCs) In a turn you get: Unlimited Free Actions (Technically. The DM is allowed to put...

    Quick Question: Wizard from D&D transports to our world. Can they still do magic?

    No. No. If you use D&D immortal rules, which was the best cosmological explination of dimensional rules that was published, normal dimensions have 5 dimensions, this allows for god-like magic. Dimensions with only 4 dimensional only allow mortal magic, and 3 dimensional planes, like earth...
