This was the method that my players would always use to "counterspell" an enemy. If you inflict a lot of damage on the enemy with a readied action the probability that his/her spell will fail is much higher than if you counterspell with Dispel Magic, and even if the enemy succeeds at the...

I have run two D&D 3e campaigns from 1st to 16th level, and I have almost never seen the counterspell mechanic used. How often is it used in your campaigns and in which situations is it used? I was wondering because I had an idea for a PrC that can do other things with counterspelling than...

Thanks for the answers! To sum up: If a creature fails its save vs. the Entangle spell it is rendered immobile. If the creatures successfully breaks free with a DC 20 Strength check or escape artist check, it can move up to half its speed as part of the same full-round action that it used to...

The spell description of "entangle" (PHB 227) states: "Grasses, weeds, bushes and even trees wrap, twist and entwine about creatures in the area or those that enter the area, holding them fast and causing them to be entangled...." The description of the "entangled" condition (PHB 308) states...

Actually, a fair number of animal names in norwegian (my native language) are constructed in this fashion. Example: Blekksprut "Squirts ink" is norwegian for octopus. Example: Skilpadde, probably from older Skjellpadde "toad with a shell" is norwegian for turtle. -- retan

On that test I ended up as INTP. However, based on the descriptions on the other site, I am between INTP and INFP (like I said earlier :) ). I tend to decide things rationally and I am interested in typically "rational" things like science and engineering. However, I also dislike confrontations...

The same as my players would say it: Krigeren min går opp en level. Han går opp en i Dex, og derfor går hans AC opp til tjuetre. Han får også en ny feat og velger improved init, slik at han ikke alltid angriper sist med sverdet sitt. "Kriger" is norwegian for Fighter and "sverd" is norwegian...

I have always played in norwegian (my native language) but with english or swedish books depending on which system we are playing. We tend to translate weapon and monster names into norwegian (at least when they have norwegian equivalents), but use many game terms from english (such as "hit...

In my opinion, one belt and 5 ioun stones of +6 to one ability is much more valuable than a single item of +6 to all abilities because the belt and ioun stones can be distributed over the entire party to yield maximum benefit, while the single item must be worn by one character. -- Retan

Although I never had any particularly munchkin characters (My first PC was a wizard (elementalist) with 3 dex in a swedish role-playing game called "Drakar & Demonar"), I fondly remember some old misunderstandings and munchkin PCs created by others: 1: Weapon damage is rolled when you buy the...

My current thoughts on the issue My best idea so far is this: Make "talent for magic" into a feat but let it have an additional effect. It might for instance enable you to detect the presence of magic sort of like a weak version of the detect magic spell. You may be able to determine whether an...

Some clarifications Thank you for your responses so far! :cool: Some Clarifications: 1: Unlike the baseline D&D world, humans do not dominate this setting, in part because of their lack of talent for magic. They are still fairly numerous but that is only because humans reproduce much more...

I am in the process of creating a new setting. One of the elements of that setting is that most (roughly 9 of 10) humans, dwarves, halflings and half-orcs are incapable of learning magic (any type of magic), regardless of their stats. Further, I thought that I should allow the players to choose...

I think that I read this somewhere: - You receive full strength bonus for your primary arm - You receive half strength bonus for all secondary arms - When wielding a weapon in multiple arms, total the strength bonus for those arms So in your example of wielding two greatswords, the one wielded...

On this test I got the following: Type: INTP Introverted: 78% Intuitive: 44% Thinking: 1% Perceiving: 33% Based on this and the previous test it seems that I am somewhere in between the INTP and INFP types. -- retan

INFP Your personality type is INFP. Introverted (I) 89% Extraverted (E) 11% Intuitive (N) 64% Sensing (S) 36% Feeling (F) 60% Thinking (T) 40% Perceiving (P) 77% Judging (J) 23% This was my result from this test. I have got other results from other tests (ISTJ from a test on the Kersey...

What about this: Deflection [General] You can choose to re-target spells instead of countering them Prerequisites: Improved Counterspell Benefit: To use this feat, you must successfully counter a spell with a single target using a spell that is at least one level higher than the countered...

More MtG spells Here are some spells of various colors that I created while looking through my magic card collection, sorted by color. White Cooperation Enchantment [Compulsion, Mind-Affecting] Level: Clr 1, Pal 1, White 1 Components: V, S Casting time: 1 action Range: Close (25’ + 5’/2...

How did your system work out, Spatzimaus? I have thought about doing this but have some worries: 1: The domains are more or less balanced for the present cleric. If clerics swap for domain spells, do some domains become much more powerful than others? (The knowledge domain, for instance, seems...

Although I do not see a big balance problem, I think that I would require an additional feat to be able to do this. This is what I use in my campaign: Maelstrom attack (General, Fighter bonus-feat) You may combine two-weapon style with a whirlwind attack. Prerequisites: Whirlwind attack...
