Well, if you have players who are able to come up with really effective custom magical items, then it's a bit different.[br][br]From level 3 to 7 I've come up with at least a half-dozen new magical items that fit members of my group so well that it's only a lack of in-game time to craft these items ...

Eww, your Barb is a moron by taking all of the healing stuff for himself.[br][br]No, seriously.[br][br]He should use the cash to buy wands of Lesser Vigour for the Claric/Druid/Archivist/Artificer/Warlock to use on him at the start of a fight. As well as scrolls of higher level healing spells for in...

Meh, just buy a spell-trigger item with 100 charges. [br][br]750 GP for infinite useds; your DM can never make the party dirty or smelly again; nor can he ruin your clothing or break any loot that you find.[br][br]You just take more time to fix stuff though.[br][br][br]As for healing between battles...

You, know, a lot of people keep saying that a Wizard can prep for 'almost anything' via their vast amount of spell options.[br][br]Which is true.[br][br][br]However, the classes detractors almost always say "yeah, but you only get 4 + Bonus spells per day. So tough luck being prepared for almos...

So, 20-ish damage a round if there's 4 guys with no way to have extra AoOs; more if any of them can AoO more than once per round.[br] [br]well you're also dealing...

Shiiete.[br][br]Well, that's a good way of doing things.[br][br]I've actually been wondering where feats like Darkstalker, Words of Creation, Iron Skin Chant, Extra Turning etc. etc. etc. all fit in when you now have effective scaling feats based on some inheretn in-character power structure (like s...

Imagine for a second that you're up against some easy prey, say CR 5 monsters.[br][br]Earth Elemental: Slam is 2d8+7 (average 16) and can Power Attack for up to +12 damage.[br][br]Skullcrusher Ogre: Morningstar is 2d6+7, Power At...

1169869703[/unixtime]]I see your point about Evocation, but in play, all the effective Wizards I've seen are Evokers. Not to mention the Warmage in a game I'm currently running that happened to acquire a Wand of Fireball at 2nd level (the party knocked over a magic item shop). [br][br][br]Yes, it w...

Cool.[br][br]How did it work back then?[br][br]Were you able to move and attack people as you ran past or did...

Oh, you know, you could run a campaign with several Warlocks, and each would be very different from each other.[br][br]Sort of the same way the Pactbinder class works; each binder's style would have them bind different vestiges.[br][br]In any case, this seems to be yet an other ball that you have fl...

The Eberron adventures....[br][br]Talk about railroading. [br][br]The DM doesn't even have options as to what to do if the PCs can kill the emerald claw cleric Garrow the first time they see him (we met him while we were hunkered down in a hole and fired crossbow bolt after crossbow bolt and arrow a...

Well, really; even a DR of.... 11 at level 6 isn't the king shit it should be noted.[br][br]There are mobs that will still wear you down.[br][br]And, if you're playing a crazy blitzer, you'll be taking so many hits that it doesn't matter what your DR is, eventually someone's gonna crit ya on one of ...

Well, by level 11, if you've not moving at about 60 to 120 feet normally all the time, or able to fly a few times per day; you're not playing a level 11 game.[br][br]You're still playing a level 3-5 game, with higher HP, AC, saves and new spells than you had at lvl 3 or 5.

Bah; at least I knew that it was a DC 120 check.

Actually; doing this allows fighter types to want to actually pick up DR gear. And using the new armour rules and new feats from Races of War. [br][br]For example, at level 11 a fighter could have DR 16/ Adamantine (11), - (5). If they picked up Great Fortitude (DR 5/- is the +11 BaB ability) and ar...

Well, Rogues can ignore distractions with UMD; the same as a Warlock.[br][br][br]So, either Warlocks can't take 10; like the UMD skill saiys.[br][br]Or Rogues can take 10 like a Warlock can take 10. I think it's either one, or the other, I don't think you can have both Warlocks allowed, while Rogues...

Will do, I thought I had read something about that a while back in something either of them had posted, but it wasn't something I could say came from one supplement or an other, hence this post.[br][br]I think that I'll be buying a +1 Adamantine Breastplate pretty soon; like, yesterday.[br][br]DR 5/...

Well, according to the SRD, DR X/- of all types would stack; as would gaining say.... gaining DR X/Magic from Blessing of Bahamut and wearing armour of Immunity to gain DR 20/Magic.[br][br]But you can't combine DR 10/Silver and Magic as well as DR 10/Magic, which would result in DR 20/ Silver and Ma...

No, seriously.[br][br]I don't know if it's ever been discussed here before, but should DR stack?[br][br]Magic damage automatically negates any DR on a target (that's what Energy Resistances are for), so mages will be unaffected; but for the most part I notice that PCs almost never invest in or try t...
