    Choosing Arcane Spells

    I cannot believe that nobody has yet mentioned my favorite 2nd level spell Glitterdust. It will blind those pesky fighter (note Will save), has a (small) radius for taking out a couple of baddies, and as a bonus makes invisible creatures visible. How much more can you expect from a second...

    Animosity between traditional gamers and LARPers?

    Re: Just Curious... I've played both fantasy and modern-based LARP's, but these are also the most common LARP's in Norway (and in the rest of the Nordic countries). In fact I've never played any WW-based LARP's, as I find the inherent *angst* in these games a bit too much for my taste :)...

    Travels through the Wild West: Books V-VIII (Epilogue)

    Hi LB! Incredible twist on the last episode, took me (almost) completly by suprise. How on earth are they going to get out of this one ? Also excellent writing in the last part, I have seldom seen defiance and courage expressed so believable. . Ziggy (just back from 3 weeks of holiday in...

    What languages do you speak?

    Trondheim, Norway. Third largest city in Norway (150.000). Appr. as far north as Reykjavik (Hi Mastermind :)) Norwegian. Two official dialects (bokmål and nynorsk). The dialect in my area ("trøndersk") is sort of in-between these, but most use bokmål when writing. In addition there are three...

    Building a stronghold on shoestring budget

    Hi! Can't see many ways to improve on the basic idea, I like it :) Some small improvements, mainly defensive (magic focused): [list=1] Wall of Iron (Wiz 5) gives you permanent iron walls if you want that. Wall of Stone (Wiz5/clr5) is equally nice to produce stone where you need it. When your...

    Mega mighty comp bows

    No offial rules for anything above +4 (probably a balance issue, mighty longbows are pretty powerful as they are). No rules for fumling/breakage either (AFAIK). IMC I allow it, but these bow are unique items, created by master bowyers (sp?). Think of Odysseu's bow from the the greek hero...

    Have you, in fact, READ the PHB?

    I read it when I first got it, from cover to cover. After that I've reread the most important sections (combat, magic) several times, each time noticing small issues and clarifications that I didn't notice on the previous readings. .Ziggy

    Ioun Stone + Circlet of Intellect

    Correct. The bonus type is what matters, not the item that delivers the bonus. .Ziggy

    Counterspell. Has anyone even seen it used in their game!?

    My 9th level wizard has used it a few times (using Dispel Magic), but not every session. Without the FR feats counterspelling is probably a bit too difficult, but with reactive counterspelling it is very useful. .Ziggy

    Travels through the Wild West: Books V-VIII (Epilogue)

    Once again an excellent fight scene from Lazybones :D We had a very similar scene in our "city-rogues" campaign, down in the dwarven ruins below Raven's Bluff. Only those undead included an Allip, which reduced my Rouge/Cleric's Wiz down to 3. Not much spellcasting left after that :) .Ziggy

    How many players do you play with???

    I usually play with 5 or 6. We used to play with max 4 players, but D&D has drawn new players into the fold, among them two wives that didn't play before :) But the number of GM's are limited, and playing groups have grown as a result of that. .Ziggy

    What kind of Server are you building for NWN?

    I'm game :) Of course the time difference will probably make it impossible, but still ..... .Ziggy

    Why is Arcane Spell Failure a "Sacred Cow".

    From the SRD (my emphasis): Mage Armor (my emphasis): Shield (my emphasis): The important thing here is the type of the bonus, not the type of the spell. Mage armor gives an armor bonus, while shiled provides cover (bonus). Different bonuses stack. .Ziggy
