    Psionics Lovers: Hyperconscious/Untapped Potential Discussion

    Untapped Potential was developed in response to Complete Psionic's Complete Suckness, by members of WotC's Psionics boards, by several of the most ardent and talented psionics supporters, who apparently approached each other spontaneously and desided to show WotC how a real psionics book could...

    Why do YOU hate specialization?

    That particular combination was spotted 5 minutes after it's entry was examined. Someone remarked that it was almost as if WotC was trying to encourage people to take as few actual Wizard levels as possible. It's a fairly powerful and viable build, with few books and a straightforward purpose...

    Why do YOU hate specialization?

    Not all specialists were made equal. Evoker Master Specialist has nothing on, say, Abjuration Master Specialist. Or perhaps Conjuration Master Specialist. I'm sure we can all agree that a virtual Quicken 3/day is better than a gimped Empower 3/day. If they were buffed up until they were roughly...

    Gaming W/Jemal - Epic Mortal Kombat (Character creation.)

    Anyone who reads Sepulchrave's fantastic Epic-level storyhour will recall, with affection, Mostin's trump card, The Horror. It was just a baseline Ultroloth (pants version) with the template, but it's 90SR, large number of potent spell-likes, reoptimized feat choices, 6 full attack tentacle...

    drothgery's Victorian Eberron game - IC

    Quaen also rises, leveling a steady gaze at Adele as she does so. "Just as well. My shop needs a final few arrangements for an extended leave, and I need to change into something practical." Leaving the building, she returns to the streets of Flamekeep, turning the corners and moving from the...

    Gaming W/Jemal - Epic Mortal Kombat (Character creation.)

    You sound like someone who allowed something that seemed perfectly reasonable, then it exploded into this horrific exploit that totaled everything you could brought into play and then some. :lol: I can see where my character was shaping up to be something similar... I'll find something else to...

    Shilsen's Eberron SH (Finished - The Last Word : 9/20/15)

    Okay then. Which should I start working on first? An advanced Carcass Crab 'skeletoned' by it's own bodily armor, chosing choice Mournland Horrors (perhaps an Eberronian remake of the Shalebridge Cradle :]), putting together a Thuranni extraction team, or maybe something custom to shilsen's...

    Gaming W/Jemal - Epic Mortal Kombat (Character creation.)

    I know that number crunching can be a rewarding and exciting pastime... I should know, having statted up a number of monsters specificly to make characters suffer greatly (Dialexis, the First Among Astraloths and Korliac, of the Grey Flame are two of my babies :] ). It's just that the sheer...

    Gaming W/Jemal - Epic Mortal Kombat (Character creation.)

    Uugghhh. Number crunching at this level can be such a nightmare, to speak nothing of actual optimization. Perhaps one of the reasons I'm going with Paragon. If I can't do Paragon, I'll steal a fallen character concept and become a Shifter... probably a Ascetic, working off the material you have...

    Gaming W/Jemal - Epic Mortal Kombat (Character creation.)

    SR can go far beyond 45, but you'll need templates for that. And those seem to be a popular method of advancing or improving characters in Epic games, because it stings less, but still gives benefits. For example, the ever-popular Paragon template. ;) Characters are typically considered Epic at...

    "A necromancer? Hmn. Walking corpses, granted, would not be able to intercept a flying machine. But flying corpses... that's a different matter. As unlikely as it seems, zombies can fly," Quaen muses. "The spectral dead... those that only exist partially in our world, they also fly, although...

    Gaming W/Jemal - Epic Mortal Kombat (Character creation.)

    I'll repeat my question: what is the GP wealth for level 40? Some of us work off the SRD.

    Thank you all for your patience. Life has been miserable, but the forecast calls for less cloudy days and more sunshine, metaphorically speaking. I promise to be more prompt in the future. Quaen sat formally in a chair, silently appraising her new companions. An elf with the nearly-heriditary...

    Eberron: no sexism

    Well, it depends. If a woman was a Wizard and her husband was a hardworking blacksmith-Magewight, it's obvious the Wizard goes off to war more often than the Magewight, especially since the Magewight is much better suited to producing more (magic) weapons/armor/supplies for the war effort. Magic...

    Gaming W/Jemal - Epic Mortal Kombat (Character creation.)

    Looks like Paragon is the weapon of choice. Let it be mine as well, because it seems to simplify so many things for those of us getting our feet wet while remaining fairly powerful regardless. What's your take on the Void Incarnate? It's an Epic Insights EPrC on the Wizards site. I realize that...

    Eberron: no sexism

    Not to mention that in Eberron, many of the 'great' figures in it's history are female. You might have to squint, but if you look closer, its a virtual flood of estrogen. Lhazaar, of the Lhazaar Principalities fame, first to lead humans to Khorvaire? Female. Taratai, leader of the rebel Quori...

    Suggestions for a templated roper

    How about an underwater encounter with water elementals? An Advanced Spell-warped Half-Water Elemental Roper with Corrupted Axiomatic Water Elementals minions? In fact, that sounds delicious. One more monster to add to the Ashtakalan Bestiary. :]

    drothgery's Victorian Eberron game - OOC

    Adele could easily have been a customer of Quaen in the past: she's been running a store of occult goods (with some connections to Aerenal) for the past decade or so, and since she keeps her shop dim, Adele might never have noticed that Quaen is an elf. It also helps that Quaen also doesn't...

    Hyena-Chucks

    Am I the only one to think flailing hyenas connected by a chain being hurled about when I first saw the title? Jeeze, doesn't anyone read 8-Bit Theater anymore?

    drothgery's Victorian Eberron game - OOC

    Done. Sorry it took so long. I'll add personality/history later, but rest assured, I have something already planned out well in advance. It won't be thrown together right as I type... although admittedly, some of my better works have come out that way. :uhoh:
