Try DM'ing these bozos sometime! Joachim/aka Mandi has an encyclopedic knowledge of every bit of cheesy minutiae ever published. What's a poor ref to do?

Easy. Run a campaign for them with just the core books and nothing else.

I'd bet you a lot their heads explode before the first session is over

Level the playing field by switching to 4e?

I honestly detest Wotc now with their bull4E crap

BLASPHEMY All I can say is that I really do not see us swapping to 4e if I want to play a MMO I will keep playing WOW it is a much better game than that 4e crap they call a game.

This is Sepoto by the way

To be honest, so do i, but i dont have ownership of all the books, i just read a lot and remember that...My friend think i am a powergamer, because i like to put many diffrerent classes on 1 char. i simply find it fitting for the char. as a roleplay aspect backed up by the stats..I love playing casters, and saw some feats that sound very nice, but i dont have access to, thats why i am wondering...

will edit

Not quite, my friend. Having all those options there before you does allow for increased versatility, but a lot (if not the majority) of Mandi's most powerful spells ARE core:

Alter Self and Polymorph
Shapechange
Mindblank
Limited Wish
Polymorph Any Object
Otto's Irresistible Dance (coupled with the Archmage Arcane Reach ability)
Disintegrate
Bigby's Crushing Hand (+50 to grapple check!)

If Mandi were to go solely core rules only, she would still rock your world.

Are these spells all to be found in PHB2?

Boots of Big Stepping augmented with +6 enhancement bonus to Dex,
Robe of Arcane Might (Transmutation),
Belt of Battle,
Mage's Circlet,

Are these items self made completely? or are they from other sources?and what do they do? sorry if my question seems elaborate, but i am just very keen on cool sounding items, even if they might not be better then what the DMG gives..


Thnx in advance

Joachim can elaborate, but most of those come from the Spell Compendium and the Magic Item Compendium. While many of the Complete books are complete crap, all of the Compendiums (the two mentioned and the Rules Complendium) are must haves.

I doubt it, or at least she'd rock it a whole lot less. Look at the things Burningspear listed above, all of which are non-core. Take them out and she becomes a lot less scary.

Of course, the above are purely academic comments. I don't think there's anything intrinsically better about an all-core game and I personally wouldn't run one, because I know my players would like a lot more options and there's some great material outside it.
