Re: 3.5 Harm

This idea did surface prior to 3.5.

Re: I want your opinion on this item:

It doesn't change the effectiveness, it changes the creation cost though. Either by 75% or by 100% depending on if you mind switching gloves when you want to use it or not.

Unless you identified an affinity I missed. ;-)

Re: Item Creation Rules and the Education of Thoth Amon

This argument was made (by a studly yours truly) earlier in the thread, and M countered that each curing spell level could act as another point of Fast Healing.

Minor = 1
Light = 2
Moderate = 3
Serious = 4
Critical = 5

Well, that *is* a viable stance.

You have to desecrate a place that was consecrated by evil in order to consecrate it for good. I think.

Re: Item Creation Rules and the Education of Thoth Amon

Assuming it stopped at only 1 point, it is better than DR 1/- because it works against elemental and spell damage. I would pay 2000 for DR 1/- in a heartbeat. DR purchased via armor runs ~5k per point, but you have the advantage of having armor that is less likely to be damaged via spells, special a...

Re: Item Creation Rules and the Education of Thoth Amon

Sure the feats are crap, but we are talking about 2 k to emulate twice the utility of a crappy feat and some change.

It was just an idea that might be more palatable then spending 13.5k!! :-)

Re: Who likes pie?

Frank,

I understand your position. I understand the reasoning.

In your games, do you allow elemental Wildshape to include elemental template forms?

Just becasue it is written that way does not mean you are not houseruling for sanity!

Just curious.

Re: Question for Frank

Nothing allows Templates (in general). Something allows elemental templates becasue the resulting creature is in fact an elemental.

Not that that helps you if your DM is a hard ass.
