Uh...

I mean...

Geez, some of that wasn't even innuendo.

Those actors are amazing. Not one of them cracked.

1107823208[/unixtime]][br]He is an archer. Balor flies, he shoots him. [br] [br][br]See, that's all fine and good. Except it means you are dealing with the Balor piecemeal, rather than the whole thing. [br][br]The Balor telekinetically steals Leggy's arrows. Ooops. No more archery. Game over again....

1107815165[/unixtime]][br][br]Probably he couldn't get past the damage reduction, but beyond that, I don't see any reason why not. I mean if you can beat the DR and the AC, it's just a matter of numbers. And numbers can be as big or as small as you want them to be. [br] [br][br]Umm...So you are ask...

1107797287[/unixtime]]But what superpowers do you seriously need to defeat a balor beyond a really good attack bonus + damage. And I really don't consider those superpowers per se. Legolas had a huge attack bonus and damage, but he was heroic, not superheroic. [br] [br][br]You think that Legolas wo...

1107740208[/unixtime]][br]Eh... I'm sick of hearing that, considering your idea of low levels is levels 1-3. A 1-3 level game is well... short as hell, and you never actually fight anything. [br] [br][br]You have 3 options: 1) Allow non-casters to have abilities that defy your very narrow view of t...

1107724689[/unixtime]][br][br]Yeah, or maybe I just don't want to play a superheroes game. There's a reason I play D&D instead of champions or Mutants and Masterminds. [br][br]What's your reason? [br][br]You seem to have this mistaken impression that characters in fantasy settings *aren't* supe...

1107446128[/unixtime]][br]It seems odd to me that people are so defensive whenever a nonmagical counter to magic is mentioned. Like in the hide thread, it seems perfectly reasonable to people to make hide duplicate invisibility but oddly abhorent for hide to protect you from detect evil. Because on...

RC, what it seems you are missing from Ess's example is this:[br][br]There are things to hide behind in the middle of combat in an open field in the daytime. Your opponent, for example. If you want to give people who are farther away from the action ginormous bonuses because they have a good angle o...

Are you somehow under the mistaken impression that the "hide in plain sight" character has no basis in source material? It does. Frankly, if I'm a 20th level Rogue surrounded by people who can ask gods for favors and destroy the world with a little preparation, I'd better be able to freaki...

Why is it that people seem to think that whether or not something is mechanically weaker than something else is a "matter of opinion" and not a "provable fact", when we are taking about a game that is based on numbers?

Perhaps not for Psions, but I can certainly see reason to give 1st level Psychic Warriors more than 0 uses per day of their 1st level power.

So change the full-round attack rules. They give warrior types the shaft anyway. Allow her to charge and use all her attacks. Make it a 1st level Fighter class ability or something. Or is someone else running the game? If that's the case, I think there is a feat from Frostburn. Snow Tiger something....

It makes me cry when people try to tell me:[br][br]1) "Monks don't suck, you just aren't using them right"[br][br]and[br][br]2) "Monks are broken. They are so much better than the other fighting classes. Look at their saves!"[br][br]Especially when their calculations are based on...

Allow her to use her natural attacks concurrently with her scimitar. Give her clawed feet or something(is she a Razorclaw shifter or what?). This will allow her to take advantage of her Warshaper abilities(specifically Morphic Reach) while still allowing her to use her weapon. [br][br]After she comp...

1107109419[/unixtime]]\[br][br][br]DM's pulling fatal or near fatal spell backfires out of their ass does not balance the game. It means that Wizards still dominate the game for a while, and then the DM gets tired of it and kills their character. And then the game's over. What the fvck good was tha...

1107032546[/unixtime]]Feats and spells remain sort of vaguely comparable until around 5th-7th level. There are very few feats that are as good as having Fly (there are a couple, including the one for outsiders that just gives you a fly speed), and I very much doubt that there are any feats that are...

1106937400[/unixtime]][br][br]Wait, are you saying the Bonus Feat concept leads to sucky character, or that Bonus Feats suck b/c the current feats suck? IMO, feats can work, if they're kewl enough. And Fighters based on bonus feats could be great, if having more feats actually mattered b/c of long ...

1106807382[/unixtime]][br][br]Figure that a 20th level caster with a 34 in the caster stat and Greater Spell Focus has a DC28 for a 9th level spell. The fighter, with a +5 cloak of resistance, Iron Will, and Wis of 14 (10 + 4 enhancement), should have a +15 will save, meaning you'll save on 11 or b...

Bwahahaha!

I finally finished reading all the old threads. It only took a month.

I lead a sad, sorry existence.

Yes. I was thinking along the lines of something that allowed you to use your Fort save instead of your Will save.

You ever consider giving him something that might allow him to actually *make* a Will save instead of Mettle?

1106730283[/unixtime]]All this layering polymorph stuff is so stupid an counter-intuitive that it boggles me how they came up with it in the first place...:rolleyes: [br][br]It's not *that* counter-intuitive, once you've accepted the premise that changing your form allows you to learn the tricks of...

Are you basically suggesting some sort of spell failure/backlash effect? Like, you cast a spell, you roll a die, on a 1, the spell backfires, on a 2-5 the spell just plain fails, ona 6+ the spell works as advertized?
