WD - It's Nothing personal.. at least on my part *L* If it makes you feel any better, I'd have the same feelings towards Dire Lemming's beguiler.. The Elzmyr line of sorcerors despises Enchantment and Necromancy

As for Greater Harm, it may have a worse average damage, but don't forget it's saving grace : You can metamagic it. (Empowered 20d12 = nice damage)

Dire Lemming - I'm not going to try to convince you to do something if you really don't want to, but I will give it one shot and just say that there's only one good way (IMO) to learn high level mage play, and that's by playing it.

Sure, I'd like to play a beguiler because they don't require allot of prior preparation with things like memorizing spells or choosing which you know. You just have all the spells on the list plus a few that you picked and can cast any of them. That's why I want to play a beguiler. Because they specialize on enchantment and because they don't have a whole bunch of things you need to to track of.

The game looks like it could be really fun but I don't know what to do as a high level mage and since the first thing you need to do is show off all sorts of spells in a way that shows a deep knowledge of them I'm pretty much screwed. Even if Beguilers were playable at high levels.

Dire Lemming: Sorry to lose you, if you get the urge to try something else I can leave a slot open for you if you want.

Vincent: I want you to get a finished character in the Rogues Gallery and a post in the IC thread ASAP so I can progress the game.

I don't want to quit but I'm not sure how I can play. I don't know enough about playing a high level spell caster to put on some impressive display. :(

I guess so... I wouldn't expect anyone here to fail their will saves though... I'll try it, I guess.

Jemal. What kind of dragon is it anyway?

Another Polymorph any Object : Scorpion to Large Red Dragon.
[Same kingdom(animal) Duration factor 5: 12 hours], and I use a Telekinesis to hurl it out the door, cuz I don't trust touching another man's scorpion.
 



Dire Lemming said:
Um, so what's that mean? Does it fail? I have no idea whether or not I can take a large red Dragon.
The above was an error by me.

You should be able to take the dragon down. Large red dragons have a CR betwee 5 and 10. (very young to juvenile)
 

For clarification: Due to the effects of Polymorph, it's a Young, 13 HD Red Dragon with 4 HP, 0 BAB, and a +0 will save. It's got the physical capabilities of a red dragon, but retains its own will, hp, and attack. Sry, but that's the best I can do.
