5·10 days agoMine isn’t just barren. I’ve tilled it with salt.
1·22 days agoElminster did it right. 1 level of fighter, 3 of cleric, 1 of rogue, and 15 Wizard, followed by 30 levels of Epic Wizard.
Well the touch attack ignoring armor helped more than the actual true strike most of the time. If it had been a normal attack to do damage, rather than just, “can I touch them,” I doubt it would have been as successful of an attack combination.
Heh heh, he said cyberdicks
It’s nowhere near as powerful as it was in 3rd edition, but True Strike and Harm was a favorite tactic of my wizard and my girlfriend’s cleric. Pretty much guaranteed to hit with a +20 to a touch attack. If the touch attack succeeded, target now has 1d4 HP. At that point our bard would hit them with a magic missile or acid arrow.
Depends on the edition. If Epic Magic is in play, 9th level spells are just the beginning. However, it gets stupidly easy to kill yourself by casting something that you really shouldn’t have tried to cast.
That’s kinda how Margaret Weiss and Tracy Hickman wrote Dragonlance. One of them DMed while the other took notes. The first trilogy, at least, was a retelling of the campaign they ran in their brand new setting. Which they made, because at that point in D&D there were tons of Dungeons, but scant few Dragons.
Four times. They just never released the fourth ending.
My level 17 wizard took out multiple mindflayers, solo. I needed the rest of the team up until then, just to be sure I wasn’t being overconfident, but I happened to have a scroll of Wish that I copied into my spellbook, and I took Unfailing Missiles, and Mind-rape, (for counter spelling purposes only. I don’t play evil characters,) as my level 17 spells.
Unfailing Missiles was designed by me.
Level 9 Wizard Spell
Components: V, S
Casting: duration: instant
Range: Long 400’ + 40’ per caster level. (1080’ @ Lvl 17)
Unfailing Missiles gives the caster 3 “lances” of energy that may be directed at any three targets that are no more than 20° apart. The caster can also direct multiple lances at any single enemy. Each lance does 17 d6+1 points of sonic and force damage split 50/50. There is no saving throw. If you can see it, it gets hit.
I was a bit irritated that Magic Missile was the only spell that was guaranteed to hit. The DM capped the spell at 17 d6+1 with no level scaling because he was already having difficulty designing encounters that the group was having any difficulties with. He did allow the range to scale normally, so with magical glasses I could eventually hit shit at well over a quarter of a mile.
Or a good way to cause the normally not murder hoboes to genocide their entire race for merely existing. Every wizard I play takes a ton of languages because I end up with more SP per level than rogues, so by the time the DM is throwing Mindflayers at us, I can speak to basically any intelligent creature, in their own language. I’m a walking peace treaty waiting for a place to happen, that just so happens to have DBF spells just in case. Mindflayers and Aboleths are Kill On Sight. I’m not daring to piss off the gith in any way, those guys are cool.
Heck even kobolds. Almost every wizard character I play takes Speak Language: Draconic just so I don’t have to kill the poor little lizards. They’re cute in an uncivilized way.
And that is why my characters have felt no pity genociding both races in every epic level campaign I play in.
Seriously. Mindflayers and Aboleths I feel absolutely no pity for at all when my characters inevitably declare Genocide on those things.
I’ll go further out of my way to not fight goblins and kobolds than the brain eating fucks.
3·2 months agoEVs should pass 20% of the market share this year, and with their sales steadily increasing, I wouldn’t be surprised if the global EV market share passes 50% before the end of the decade, so the faster we get electricity production 100% renewable, the more removing ICE vehicles will be effective
Even us wizards are more likely to use CHA or STR as a dump stat rather than CON or DEX
Seriously, why are the local humans such dicks? Had a human wizard that was known as Katherine the Great by the wizard-hating dwarves, because she spoke draconic and brokered a peace between them and the kobolds. The orcs called her Katherine the Timeless, because she got ahold of a potion of heal, and a philosopher’s stone before her 17th birthday, and made herself a potion of eternal youth/ immortality. The local humans called her Katherine Lady of Death…
That’s a curry. A coup is a child of your parents siblings
Thanks! Sounds destructive
