Broken rulez

[WizarDru]

well wizard dru... I'm 12th lvl and then power sight does indeed become VERY usefull.. as for Miasma, a succesfull save means nothing because you have to keep saving untill you fail... and failure means 0 hps and dying.

The save on Miasma is just delaying death. The only thing I know that will stop a Miasma is a dispell magic.

If that doesn't arrive before the first failed save... goodbye character (or dragon or whatever)

Just use Dru or WizarDru, thanks.

I don't disagree it becomes valuable...but at 12th level, not first or fifth. I don't much care for it, but I don't think it's broken...it just lacks verisimilitude. I think it should require a WILL save, though. The value of knowing a creature's HD, or a NPCs, isn't always that useful, but that may depend on your game. My players used it an Ethereal Dreadnaught this weekend, and after seeing it had 28HD.....well, they were serious about hiding.

I agree about Miasma...I think it should be easier to get rid of, and I think you're right, it's broken. I just reread the full spell, and it's over the top. Lasts 5 rounds/level (so at least what, 2 minutes?), and it automatically succeeds. The Con Save is also worded poorly...if I read it right, you will eventually fail, no matter what, or eventually succeed, no matter what. Either way, it's ridiculous. I'm not sure why this isn't just a straight FORT save, regardless.

I'm with Furn_Darkside.

Anything the players can do I can one-up them easily. Basically I am the DM and I am the groups horrid minmaxer.

I have no problem with:

haste, harm, shield etc and magic items, so long as they are properly priced.

I do however keep close tabs on character wealth, despite protests and magic item crafting. My objective here is only to pace the aquisition, not thwart.

Non-core add ons are allowed on a case by case basis and only for a trial period. In this trial period I will use whatever it is against the party often (and from then on occasionally).

That bladesinger, Aaron L, looks somewhat vulnerable to dispel magic with the spells being of low level. I'd hardly call that broken.

I won't mention *ate

I have a Bladesinger as well. 12th level. Here is my usual AC breakdown:

Elven Chain +1=+6
Dexterity 18-20 (w/Cats Grace)=+4 to +5
Intelligence 22 =+6
Haste =+4
Expertise =+5
Shield spell =+7
Dodge=+1

Grand Total +43-44 ...
against 1 opponent, 7 less from behind, 5 less if I don't want to take a -5 to hit.

This is after a few spells, and is specefically what the Bladesinger prestige class is designed to do: be hard to hit. It doesn't do much else very well. Saying a prestige class is overpowered because it is very good at doing the ONE thing it is designed to do isn't fair.

I am playing a high level Bladesinger also... they aren't broken. Very balanced actually when you consider the fact that their whole being is to be a great longswordsman. And all of their spells are geared towards defence and buffing. Mind you... once you get to high levels... most of the spells in the list are going to cancelled out by magic items. But the 5 attacks per round, 6 with haste is really good.

hehe if you're going to use R&R against your players... better get ready to face some playeraction from there as well.... All I can say is check out the sultans of smack thread in the archive..............

*listens to the splattering of blood and gore as the PC's effortlessly slide through waves of monsters*

edit: sultans of smack as correct threadname

LMAO, dude, next you'll be doing like KK and posting about the brilliance of Scarred Lands over the all other settings.

KK tends to refrain himself to a thread on Harn with his adverts- not find a way to work Harn into every thread.

dutch enworld meeting

hey Outcast.. are you coming to the dutch enworldmeeting in arnhem this saturday? check the thread for more details.

Hope to see you there!

Astrogoth's DM steps forward: The reason I banned powersight is because I don't think HD should be tangible in that way, not because of broken-ness.

I am tired of people not knowing how to play and blaming rules...

The bladesinger is broken?

So why do you play one?

You shouldn´t, for starters.

By the way, to know how to play is to know how to have fun, I mean.

I have fun. I dont complain. if I dont like it, I change it. Do the same.

I have a forsaker. A shadow or a wraith would kill him in 3 rounds. Not so powerful, heh? Everything is relative. I like playing him.

Wheres that feat kreynolds wrote about growing up and getting a life or something?

Im ranting. Nothing personal, Im just sick of people saying this is broken, bla bla bla.

Its been 2 years of that &%¨%&.
Before I go, sorry for the rudeway of speaking... but ... ah nevermind

Well really its seems to that you are trolling, so probably you wont be offended os sumthing, so... thats it.

bed, im coming....
