The Gaming Den

Well, the plan is that PCs use their own NPC arbands to do defensive stuff while they themselves are logged off.[br][br]Most PCs will leave their warband to guard their faction's quarter of the city or the overall city defenses.[br][br]I'm actually envisioning each race to have almost the exact same...

Well, it's up now.[br][br]i should have thought of using the cached page, I use that feature so often when looking for specific word instances on search results that yield web forums or manuals.[br][br][br]It's interesting; but blows since I'm using a divine caster (Archivist) and I've gotten away f...

Damnit, I keep breaking that website.

Pfft, just make sure your illusion spell DCs are insane then just pick up the Shadow Conjuration/Evocation line of spells.[br][br]I mean, seriously; Spell Focus (Illusion) and Greater Spell Focus (Illusion) being useful to three schools of spells. Plus, with the Shadow line of spells you don't need ...

You know....

I never thought of empowering or maximizing an Awaken spell.

Heh, hehe, heheheh; I'm gonna make an army of squirrel archivists to go along with my bonsai tree choir that rides in flying teacups.

It'll be cool.

ROFL.

Yeah, I guess that could work.

In a D&D game using say... all of Frank and Kieth's supplements (really, you should use them all at once); where do existing old-style feats like Skill Focus; Darkstalker, etc. fit in?[br][br]Could feats like Combat School be used as a pre-req for feats like Supreme Weapon Mastery (or whatever t...

[br][br]Strand of Prayer Beads[br][br]This item appears to be a normal string of prayer beads until the owner casts a divine spell. Once that occurs, the owner instantly knows the powers of the prayer beads and how to activate them. Each strand includes two or more special beads, each with a differ...

[br][br]That's why I use Creation spells to create the poisons?[br][br]So, that it's a non-issue?[br][br]Also, I prefer to use non Con-damaging poisons (dex is really ...

Oh? Cool, b/c when I registered at 1st it told me that I couldn't use that name since it had been already taken. So, there was a hicough somewhwere along the lines there. [br][br]I'm lazy and I don't want to bug them so I'll just stick with this.[br][br]Man, getting out of your comfort zone can be h...

Well, definately interesting. Takes a while to digest.[br][br]You said that different magics are antagonistic?[br][br]Maybe, if you have different magics in you at the same time of the same powers, they backlash on you or they make your highest power weaker by some amount?[br][br]Maybe the different...

Screw that noise, I only need scrolls.[br][br]I'll make scrolls of Blessing Ritual (death knell) and Blessing Ritual-Turbo (consumptive field); buy up a bunch of chickens, have a big old party in town and then teleport the group to our target... better still; cast Bottle of Smoke to have us get ther...

Okay, so I can't get say, from CL 7 to CL 10; and then 'perhaps' CL 15 by using Consumptive field since they're different effects?

Or am I sort of, you know, stuck adding my old base Caster lvl when I use Consuptive Field goodness? Resulting in 7 becoming 10, and then 13?

1119961331[/unixtime]]My longest campaign went from 1st to 12th, over the course of something like 8 months. [br][br]Meh, that's nothing.[br][br]I once kept my group at level 1 for about 13 sessions.[br][br]Of course, there was about 8 PCs, and they didn't really need to level up; but also, the fac...

Well, you don't need Darkvision.[br][br]If you use Blacklight on everburning Torches and cast the spell Ebon Eyes (Spell Compendium), you get 50% concealment from Blacklight and magical Darkness doesn't affect your vision (from Ebon Eyes).[br][br]While everything else that you see that probably can'...

Anyway, I'm thinking that running a game that combines multiple elements of various games to 'run' the main game might be a new way of approaching the genre.[br][br]So, you start play at some sort of 1st or 3rd person persective view, running around, attacking things and work on either getting power...

I know that I've been here a short while and all, and I probably should have brought this up before, but can I get my nick changed so that I don't have 2 spaces between the two parts of my name?[br][br]When I first registered I had a hicough somewhere and I couldn't do anything with my first attempt...

False Life, I'm not sure if I can cast it with my Archivist. [br][br]As for Mage Armour; he's packing around.... 30-43 AC as it is at lvl 7. [br][br]That's with only a +1 (+5 with Magic vestments and Ritual Blessing abuse) Med Fort Mithral Shirt and a +1 (+5) Darkwood hvy sheild; I'm abusing Alter S...

1171489512[/unixtime]]I wish it wasn't so easy to die in MMORPG's. In WoW, if you are fighting against more than one enemy or attempt to run away from a single one, you die no matter what. It's so frustrating. [br][br]It's realistic though. Maybe, it's one of the few realistic things though.[br][br...

1171493151[/unixtime]]Druids have a fvckton of 10 minute/level spells, so if your domain grants any of them you can go crazy.[br][br]Delay Poison is awesome if you can make it last a long time. If you can get the duration over 24 hours, you can be immune to poison forever.[br][br]Resist Energy is 1...

The 'Weakest PrC's Thread got a bit derailed with a discussion on using cheap, buyable animals to power up caster levels using stuff like Death Knell.[br][br]and this is the last thing that I posted there:[br][br] [br]In any case, gaining +50% more levels isn't bad; going from lvl 7 to 10; and then ...

Oh, yeah, Comp Field. That one works on weak people, not just dying or knocked out ones.[br][br]In any case, gaining +50% more levels isn't bad; going from lvl 7 to 10; and then again from 10 to 13 (I'm safely assuming it's based on base CL (plus maybe gear); but the power spike is handy enough as i...

1171453153[/unixtime]]If you just wanted to whore Blasphemy why not have an actual viable character with a good UMD score and a staff of Blashpemy instead of setting five of your Cleric's character levels on fire?

Probably.

In any case, it seems that every single custom item that I've written up in the past is actually worse and less broken than what WoTC themselves will release.

Joy.
