The Gaming Den

Okay. How do order of operations works for spells, anyway?[br][br]Like you've got a wizard or a druid; first you cast polymorph any object or shapechange or what-have-you so that you get the animal subtype, and then you cast animal growth. Then you change your form back into something else. Do you g...

Okay, assume you're playing on a 3.5E game that:[br][br]Does not allow elemental wildshaping cheese.[br]Does not have access to the Book of Exalted Deeds.[br]Does not have spells from Masters of the Wild or DotF or whatever.[br][br]Or, rather, a mostly core game. Let's see some of that old timey che...

Okay, I've been searching the web for the past week, can't find it. I asked custserv and other game designers, haven't gotten a good response.

I wanted to mail/ask something about the Complete Divine, but damned if I can find it.

If someone has his e-mail, I'd really appreciate it.

I know this is an unpopular idea, but, let's be honest with the game realities.[br][br]People are not going to like non-human races being blatantly superior to human ones. Right now, humans are second-best to almost everything unless you're into heavy amounts of cheese or min-max, but if the dwarf/e...

Polymorph Any Object- Most broken spell ever published by WotC?

Most broken spell ever published by WotC.

What about methods that are little more than a straight improvement on the die damage/critical scheme that makes up for the fact that you're using a weapon that is worse to start out with and harder to improve than a sword?[br][br]Something like... a threat range of 19-20/x3, or half your wisdom mod...

That's about what I figured.[br][br]How/what changes do you recommend to have a fighting scheme equal to that of a monk's unarmed strike, on the grounds that you're giving up your holy sword or mace of disruption? And I figured that this could stand to lose a huge amount of defensive abilities and f...

Howdy, y'all.[br][br]I'm trying to convince a DM of an online game to approve a version of the Sacred Fist that won't completely hose players when they're forced to enter ranged combat, but she thought my version was a little overpowered and presented me with one of her own. Tell me what you think: ...

The title more or less speaks for itself.[br][br]While taking pains to avoid any comparison against a druid, because the polymorph mechanic is broken (or if we allow this, getting a phat Polymorph Any Object from the party wizard), what is wrong with combining monk levels with kensai levels and then...

The massive damage rule sucks so hardcore that Andy Collins had to put in several optional wraparounds in the ELH just so an unlucky roll won't ruin the game.

But you can't do that. The circlet melds into your new form.[br][br]It's not like drinking the potion to grow your legs back or to be able to be like Peter Pan, only with more swordness, it's part of the spell.[br][br]So it shouldn't be viewed any differently than strapping yourself into a suit of g...

I agree with da chicken here.[br][br]The jade circlet isn't even a magical item, so it doesn't fall under the clause of 'borrowing a spell effect to kick ass'. It's a focus, a hefty chunk of change at that, and then you run around wearing it like a magical (invisible) crown.[br][br]If we allowed VoP...

You can't super-extend your spells anymore with the cleric archer, however, which was a great way to get all-day mojo out of spells like freedom of movement, anti-life shell, magic circle against evil, etc.[br][br]Also, persistent spell is getting a rather gigantic nerf in the coming edition, as per...

May I post links to ecchi (read: perverse and adult) websites as long as I make gigantic, and I mean GIGANTIC amounts of Don't Read: Not Work Safe and Satan Will Enter Your Soul Through Your Groin If You Read This and soforth tags?[br][br]I sometimes like to reference Seanbaby and Ecchi-Attack, but ...

The title says it all. I'll start. If I can remember where the quote came from, I'll post it.[br][br]"To be defeated means to lose everything. Are you prepared for that?" -- Hawke from Advance Wars 2, before his Super CO power.[br][br]"I thought that you were different. But you're jus...

That's pretty harsh, but I'll buy that.
