powergamers? You simply are stating things here. Many people have said it is not working out "just fine" in fact it was used once or twice and immediately thereafter banned. You also claim it needs to be optimized somehow. That's simply not true. You just need a PC with power attack and...

3.0 haste This reminds me - a lot - of the old 3.0 haste discussions that raged. One excellent way to get to the root of it is this... (thinking about haste now): If 3.0 haste were stripped from 3.0 entirely - never existed - and then suddenly a player came to you with 3.0 haste and asked if...

It's more like, this combo requires: 2 pc's, good timing, 1 adjacent to enemy being targeted... AND Enemy fails 2 saves, enemy is valid target for spell, enemy SR if any overcome, enemy not immune to holding, etc. I'd say over 90% of the "monsters" in the MM are not a valid target for Hold...

warning, just a warning I have never had any trouble. I investigated PayPal before signing up and never signed up after reading about it. This is a verified insider posting about how PayPal works: http://paypalsucks.com/forums/showthread.php?fid=6&tid=1529&old_block=0 (shivers) Here is...

PayPalsucks.com PayPal is under many federal and state investigations, has been the target of many successful class-action suits, and has caused a lot of pain for a lot of innocent people. PayPal is not a bank, and not a credit card. If you lose money through a fraudulent paypay...

new bard stuff Core bard (SRD) is not weak but very difficult to min/max. Still gets some excellent defensive spells (mirror image, alter self), but difficult to make a powerhouse - not impossible. Each new addition to the D&D family has made the bard more powerful. Particularly the feats...

no comment really What is Arcane Thesis? It seems to be powering this combo. No real comment, I'd just like to point out that this build looks extremely specialized and pretty high up there in the min/max range. Meaning, I don't think your average player would come up with this beast.

tricky point There is a tricky point associated with nova builds. Most people assume that nova builds burn through resources faster than non-nova builds. This may or may not be true. It's certainly NOT true on broader party level. What Nova combats (termed such for a combat where one...

Between 4-5, sometimes with summons but often not.

I did a similar thing when playing a bard, except I kept track of the damage my bard did each round either directly (when my bard hit the enemy) or indirectly (from the song bonuses, either the +1 or more to damage or turning a miss into a hit via the +1 or more "to hit"). You will find...

never never never NEVER dump constitution. There are not many rules to making an effective PC... but this is one of them. Con should be 3rd best score or higher for almost all non-suicidal builds.

And bugs feel pain to some degree... thus the avoidance of acid or flame... Yet the do fly into lightbulbs and kill themselves; this is a case of internal reflexes (fly to the light) defeating preservation of life (too much heat is bad). A point to consider: golems presumably don't feel pain...

yes Yes, the golem would recognize the acid as attacking it. And hit the acid with its fist, attempting to destroy it. Recognizing that acid can't be hurt in this way is above 0 intelligence, likely. Perhaps it's "common sense" (assumed under wisdom) if the Golem attacks 100 times and...

Are Rogues able to search/disable the Alarm spell? I don't see the Alarm spell as being mentioned in the relevant skills in the SRD. Is this just me being stupid, or is a Rogue simply not able to find/disable an Alarm spell (at range, given that the Alarm spell radius is 20')? What would the...

pathetic This is, indeed, the most pathetic thread I have ever seen in my entire life. That's not saying a huge amount -- I don't spend 100 hours a week on the boards -- but it is saying, well, something. To restate the glaringly obvious: my god man, put up or shut up!

You people are nuts Break the game? +8 adjustment? You people are crazy. What's the difference between a spot. casting cleric and a vanilla one? 90% of the time...not much. They are casting the same spells! Most of the time there isn't some "perfect" spell you are going to cast. The...

sounds about right Makes sense to me. 1 invis = 3 visible. Obviously fighting something invisible that is a much, much better grappler than you are would be ... oh, just really... really bad. Invisible dire bear? owwwwwwwwwwwww.

Ha ha. Yes. This wins the award so far for internally inconsistent. Being paralyzed is a better way to avoid AOO's than being distracted by shooting a crossbow... ha ha.

I'm interested in hearing about D&D rules that people play with...but which really make no sense to them. A minor one which always bothered me is... If you are flanking you get +2 to hit the flanked enemy. If you are invisible, you get +2 to hit an enemy. Yup. That's right. Flanking is no...

Yes Um. What? A tripping farmer with a scythe gobbling cow turds "seems" close to black-and-white drug films made in the 1950's? In what way, precisely? Yes, they both involve drugs... and...? An apple is like a bannana - they both have skins. An elephant is like a ship - they both can...
