Interesting. We started playing in 76-77 with the Blue Book, and before 3e I don't recall we ever reached lvl 20. Actually, lvl 12-13 was probably the max in 1e/2e. And of course the "strongest" characters were wizards, duh :) 2e: 12th level Wizard who rolled 100 on his Psionics Test and got...

True Polymorph, concentrate for one hour for it to become permanent. If you forgo the AL advice to make the character an NPC, that would meet your goal. EDIT: Note that it can get dispelled, and interesting effects can happen if the character steps inside an antimagic field... And True Seeing...

You are probably remembering this: Source: Jeff Grubb (April 1987). “Plane Speaking: Tuning in to the Outer Planes”. In Roger E. Moore ed. Dragon #120 (TSR, Inc.), pp. 42–43. FWIW, in our Savage Tide 5e campaign the DM would allow us to find forks for different Abyss layers.

In AD&D 1E, a green slime fell on our -10 AC indestructible paladin named Gabriel. He died in 1 round. That was 40 years ago, and we still laugh about it. :D

Well, if we bring out Chainmail and Braunstein as the genesis of D&D, then "both" is probably still the right answer.

Wasn't the concept of D&D as a combat game really introduced in 4E? The whole miniature-centric philosophy of it. Otherwise, it's always been an RP game with combat elements.

So many possibilities! Who would have thought... Thanks sentients! (been re-re-playing KoTOR...)

Has anyone seen an official ability like these where you can pounce an opponent and attack from a ways away, either a spell, class, race, item, whatever? Not homebrew. I know you can use misty step or use the Echo Knight's ability and an Attack action to kind of simulate that, but I was...

You underestimate the power you have as a DM to control Plane Shift: tuning forks are required for each destination. I haven't found 5e references on how to obtain or make tuning forks, which means that it is entirely up to you. So if it's a PITA to get (very rare, only certain destinations, or...

We're playing 3.5e Savage Tide with 5e characters... and the DM uses the 3.5e stats for monsters because we are too strong :LOL: You have to get creative when you need to hit AC 35... or when there is a save or die Anyway, we do not relish fighting 3.5e Demogorgon, but if there is one...

I did a double take when I saw that, because I have a sorcerer that uses Twinned wish to cast simulacrum on party members, but did no think of using it offensively. However, re-reading the spell (emphasis mine): So in the case of a fiend, it would not work, alas. EDIT: typo

Reading that it seems your god is essentially casting wish. If your DM confirms this, then the effect of any spell of 8th or lower can be duplicated in 1 Action without components, giving you access to some pretty powerful spells against fiends such as Magic Circle, which normally would take 1...

An old ad I always liked because of wish:

I may be missing something, but is there somewhere a psionics option for sorcerers, or is it just wizards? It would be unfortunate if it's just the extra spells on the list, and not some of the cool thematic abilities such as telepathy.

Actually happened in play during the end boss encounter, when he was about to monologue: Demon: I will not repeat myself! Paladin: What? Demon: I will not repeat myself!

@Theo R Cwithin Oh god, very well hidden! @Morrus True dat, but surely you can sticky 1 post that refers to that history section, I never would have found it on my own <<< old guy @R_J_K75 Probably, but the point is to make these pearls of wisdom available to all, and I wanted to point some of...

In the D&D forum, can Ed Greenwood's, Jim Ward's, and other great alums' threads be stickied please? It's a genuine pleasure to read their stories and perspectives, but there's a mess of other posts there that make them hard to find.

Ok done, thanks.

Hi Morrus, just saw this. My PayPal is still going through, what's the word with the new forum?
