    [August] What Video Games you playing??

    Star Wars Galaxies. Just started playing, having a blast so far.

    Shapechange and abilities with saves

    I'm going to concur with WingOver. Use the same method of calculating the DCs as listed for the monsters.

    Shapechange

    Yes, shapechange is one of those 'problem spells.' I'm surprised they didn't slap on an XP cost to it like they did to many of the others. Targetted dispel, or disjunction can put a stop to it, or perhaps make up a low level spell that negates shapechanging (including polymorph type effects)...

    Holy Avenger Q: Paladin Class or Character level?

    Greetings! In regards to 3.5 and the Holy Avenger, it states that a Paladin can use SR and greater dispelling based off of the paladin's level. I'm assuming this means class level, and not character level, correct? Thanks!

    Mystic Thurge - Is it broken?

    Hm... My suggestion is this. Make a deal with the DM. He will allow you to play a MT for a couple of sessions, if he deems the class overpowering, then work to make adjustments. This has 2 benefits. First, we give the designers the benefit of the doubt and see if the class is really...

    Getting around antimagic PC's.

    Have the BBEG activate a few golems he's created... Use the simulacrum spell. Put in some traps that don't rely on magic. Wall of Stone/Iron spells, block off the party from the structure.

    So what did you think of 3.5 overall?

    I had pre-ordered the books a while back. Then I started seeing some of the changes. Then I saw some more. I was on the fence about getting the books, then I read Monte's review, and that pushed me to the 'no' side. There were just too many changes, yet the game was close to 3.0. While the...

    Customer service trumps quality: why I like Dell

    Hm... I think I'm of the opposite opinion here. If my Toshiba had problems like yours, then my next laptop wouldn't be a Toshiba. I value quality over customer service because I can fix the majority of my own problems and I have a low tolerance for not getting it right the first time...

    [Epic] Insight from my first Epic DM Experience

    Pretty good observations. I've played in a couple EL games and I own the ELH, so I have a couple comments. First, Disjunction is king :-). I was playing a sorcerer, and I would typically lead off with this spell against other NPCs. I can see what people don't like it, and if I were being...

    Broken CD & Warcraft III

    Make sure the CD is clean, then try it in another machine. This way you can tell if it is really the CD or the drive. The expansion requires the expansion CD to play. If you want to play the original, then you need to have the original CD in the drive. So whatever version of the game you...

    Need Warcraft III help

    If you are playing in the campaign, then I'd suggest re-installing. I don't recall having a problem. Did Blizzard say the bug was present since Frozen Throne released?

    Epic Spells....huhwhat????

    It's a crappy system. The entire ELH is riddled with problems. I've tried to play in Epic games, but it usually breaks at some point early on. The adventure in the book is a joke (yeah, we can take that red dragon... riiiight). And for some reason, Still/Silent is given the same treatment as...

    Need Warcraft III help

    Did you research the upgrade? I'm assuming you did.... Otherwise, if it is only in the campaign (and you can do it in multiplayer), then I wouldn't worry too much about it. Otherwise, report it to Blizzard as a bug. I played through the campaign just fine, and I recall using hippogrif riders...

    Disabling Windows Key

    I don't suppose you'd be willing to share the code for that? I'd be interested in seeing how you did it. Thanks!

    Anyone not getting the 3.5 books? (at least right away)

    I ordered mine a while ago from walmart, but as more and more information has become available, I've started to really doubt this purchase. Some of the changes were needed, so much so that there were common house rules for them. However, many of the changes I simply thought "why are they doing...

    D&D 3E/3.5 [3.5] Lightning Bolt?

    I read in another thread that LB is a 120 foot 'line', no longer the area effect spell it once was. Later. Edit: Apperently my definition of line does not match with WotC... (5x120 area for lit bolt)

    [3.5] Enormous number of changes - some make me wonder why...

    Hm. Ok... Pretty neat. Line? Was there a burning need to create a new type? The old version didn't 'fit the mold' but there was nothing wrong with that. Not really an issue for me. *blinks* Huh? Wouldn't it just be simpler to say that spells can't pass through the globe? I mean, that...

    D&D 3E/3.5 [3.5]Montes view: PrClasses?????

    Just like the 'caster level prerequisite' mistake from 3.0? The problem is, it not unreasonable. Caster level, as a requirement for making a magic item, doesn't soud so far fetched to people (thus it is still discussed). I'd imagine this will fall in the same category. Given the potential...

    I hold in my hand the 3.5 books!

    How do scrying and greater scrying work? Thank you.

    3e Character Advancement Too Fast?

    Sheesh, how often do you guys play? When I was a player, once every fourth or fifth session we leveled. After a year of games (one a week) we were only level 6. When I ran a game, I sped it up a little bit. The party covered 7-8 levels in about as many months of playing (once a week). A...
