IIRC you don't need Paladins with Scibe Scroll.

You just need to have someone with crafting feat and someone with the spell to work together, no?

You are not doing it right.

Well, yes. ToB was hardly enough.

But then you'll have to consider the whole "DnD is miniature wargame" paradigm. It's not like it could be changed overnight and combat system rebuilt from the scratch.

For 3e ToB was good enough. Too late too little, but still. It got there eventually.

I assure you, it's been around longer than 4chan.

Nah. He got my attention, all right. Though I don't really understand why he couldn't use private mail. Unless, getting forum's attention and public shaming is something he is more interested in, than someone's quoting preferences. ubernob: 1. I'm not writing (long) replies in browser since forever....

> Zuganov and Prohorov are better known than he is, and, surprisingly in case of Prohorov, are trusted more than Nemtsov.
Yeah. That makes more sense.

Did Prohorov (IIRC one of the oligarchs) ever got into the government? If not, then this is why he is more trusted.

> That should be the benchmark for every combatant class without a lot of inherent magic. Benchmark for every combatant class without a lot of inherent magic is called Tome of Battle. Paizo doesn't have the balls or the brains (imo - both) to make their own version or something better. Which is why...

> Do you know how many pro-western politicians are there in Russia? Like a handful. Lots, many? Exact number would be helpful. Also, a definition of a politician in Russia. Because I sincerely doubt the numbers are so low. Most of Yeltsin's people are (essentially) pro-western. Even Putin could be ...

Almost every western or pro-western politician (or journalist or celebrity or anyone ) has the same public opinion about Charlie Hebdo. You'd need an army to follow-up on even fraction of death threats they are getting or claim that they are getting. But Nemtsov alone (who is not French or Muslim or...

The google had failed me. Whom are you taking about?

None of the theories make much sense. Putin being behind the murder is simply retarded. Especially murder literally in the middle of Moscow. Yeltsin might've ordered crap like this (and gotten away with it). Putin is too much into "clean hands policy". At worst, accident/suicide/disappeara...

> Like, overland flight, prot v arrows, stoneskin, minor globe, and a wand of fireballs and then entire English army just dies. And all of this should be done not on a battlefield, but far away from it, at 4 am, when enemy army is soundly asleep. I.e. ICBM mode. Wizards fly in, wizards cast spells,...

You mean low-level Wizards sucking at a huge battlefield, because they've been designed for (relatively speaking) short-range skirmishes with few opponents? Or was that catgirl massacre of Illusion spells? Because I certainly didn't post my ideas about RPG systems or XP/levels for GM. Yet. [ insert ...

Now I remember that delusional logic.

I believe Tome of Ancient Knowledge (provided you can get GMs approval) was used to save the day at 9th level.

> process of converting most arcane spells to divine spells
What are you talking about?

> The Archivist functions, but it doesn't do the thing that justifies its placement without a complicit DM.
Case closed then.

> It's like you're not familiar with hyperbole or something.
It's the Internets. You should've tried sarcasm.

> Given the absence of a rule saying that distance makes it easier to disbelieve illusions, I think that's bullshit. You know, it is hilarious to hear about absence of rules dealing with long-distance illusions from you. Of course there are no such rules. But if you are adding rules that make illus...

Is there any book/article/setting/whatever that deals with Ageism in unconventional way?

I want some internal conflicts (and weird customs) for long-lived races (yes - elves and dwarves; also undead), but I don't have sufficiently crazy ideas.

That sounded like Archivist can't get any spells without GMs intervention, making him absolutely useless. Except Archivist still gains cleric spells during level-up. He might not be as badass as real cleric (or druid), and unlike wizard he has to choose from the weaker spell list (making him weaker ...

RadiantPhoenix > Since it's an extrapolation of the rules, we can try to apply common sense. You surely meant "Since rules do not say what I want them to say, I can homerule stuff however I want to". But whatever. Lets kill some catgirls. It's Friday. > I would say that you would have to ...

FrankTrollman: If it's studying with intention to ferret out illusions, it is an attempt to disbelieve, no? In any case I don't really understand what is your problem with the word. It is correct that passing saving throw against illusion would do nothing. But passing it and communicating result to...

I meant the part of Archivist not being able to "really function" (whatever that means).


Also, I'm tempted, but I'm not going to touch that Factotum "discussion" with a stick.

All About Illusions (Part Three) By Skip Williams > For game purposes, we can define "studying" an illusion as taking an action (which DMs can choose to make a move action since this is an extrapolation of the rules and not an actual rule) to observe an illusion effect and note its detail...

I remember Factotum being personal for Frank, but what did Archivist do?


Also, Tiers do not gauge "in-game power", but potential brokenness. 3rd Tier classes (or 4th, IIRC) are considered optimal. Not 1-2.

> Silent Image Oh, come on. This not on a Mending Cornucopia level of retardation, but close. Pound to pennies there will be troops dedicated specifically to disbelieving every damn thing on battlefield: "Fifth squad! Disbelieve everything in sector 5-13! Third squad! Concentrate on the troops...
