A few thoughts... First, I know nothing about spell balance, can't help you there. Secondly, It might help if we knew what level and classes your PCs are. Thirdly, I'm not sure how this is not railroading the party, since you have a very specific objective for them to lose the battle...

This sounds like a solid plan. There are a few definite things that lend to this working: -you can get inside the portable hole. -the portable hole can make it through the bars. -another person can open the portable hole for you to climb out of. Those parts are solid. Now, I'm pretty sure you...

If, by chance, you're considering a build good at Combat, Divine and Arcane spells, I'd suggest you look into the Chameleon prestige class and builds you can accomplish with it. Here's a Handbook. If that's not your intent, nevermind that then.

Ahhh.... very different. No strong reason to see the PC's survive. Than allow the fire's full consequence to play out. Figure the speed the fire will travel per round, the number of rounds it will burn at a particular spot, and the damage it'll do per round. Than leave it to the party to try...

I don't believe Sword of the Arcane Order was even intended for the Prestige Paladin. The Sword of the Arcane Order swaps the Paladin's spell list for a different, Arcane one, while the Prestige Paladin builds off the spell list of the base class you enter in from. Are you aiming for a...

I'd recommend allowing the blaze, but you might want to consider giving them a way out. Point out a nearby river they didn't notice before, bring in a rain a few minutes in, or introduce a Druid NPC who saves them, than chastises them for their recklessness and holds them to a quest to atone...

Sorry man. This threat started as a theoretical exercise in how spells can substitute skills and not in any way to tell anyone how they should play a character.... but yeah, it's pretty easy to look at this list and not want to play a skill monkey ever again. Some of these spells are only...

I believe the Age of Worms adventure campaign has one of the Rod's pieces in another plane. I don't know how they played that out, but I'd imagine rules exist in that published material.

It sounds like the OP is asking 2 questions: -How do I get into the mindset of an evil character? -How to a mechanically build said character? First off, understanding what sort of Evil you are. Are you the aggressive Evil? Sadistic Evil? Selfish Evil? Self-Protective Evil? The first 2...

Update: Various effects of Insidious Insight ​added.

Neat find, added Here. Stacks nicely with Voice of the Dragon.

Ah, intelligent oozes then, or sentient water? Blood related threats, perhaps if someone bleeds, their own blood could be controlled by the temple's guardians to be used against them.

Thaddeus Greybold, the retired, insanely wealthy master thief, is again running his prized Island of Horrors event. Adventurers from around the world are gathering to his remote island to participate in the free for all, PvP event for one of Thaddeus' prizes! Who will the victor be this year...

I see that you've got some ideas developed already, but when I read your threat topic and OP, I imagined something desert-like. Do you have access to the 3.5 Sandstorm book? I'm imagining an Awakened Sand temple defender with a few class levels in something, Shapesand piles controlled by the...

Took the survey, please share with us your results!

In a lot of ways, yeah! Wandering around, getting drawn into adventures, totally D&D. A little bit of comedy, a little bit of action, all sorts of plot, fun NPCs, reoccurring villains, varied environments, totally what I envision D&D to be. One thing about that show that wouldn't fit D&D is...

I think I understand your question. Perform, and all the kinds of perform, would be a class skill for you. If you invest points in Perform (Oratory), Perform (Dance) or Perform (Juggling), All of those would be class skills. You would have to invest your skillpoints separately into each...

That's the conclusion I came to. The wording is unclear, but I'm figuring Viking is considered a Barbarian-3 + whatever levels I have in Barbarian for the purpose of Rage Powers. I was hoping for some errata to find that would clarify, but this works.

Since this character is capable of holding control over individuals much stronger than himself, perhaps there's a stronger Devil or another creature indebted to him, and he'd call in a favor for this battle?
