Eb: Posted a revised war domain to the house rules topic as discussed. For those of you scoring at home, Power Word: Kill is replaced with foresight. Also, regarding Mistress of the Duel, I figure a +8 cap sounds about right? Most battles simply don't last long enough for the full brunt of this to come up in any event, but this prevents absurd cases like the Destroyer.

I think I'd prefer +10 both for roundness and because a 5+ round fight is almost certainly going to be something important while a 4 round fight could just be one where we dicked around buffing or positioning for a round or two.

And I maintain the Destroyer was cool rather than absurd. Dragging yourself out of the Tarrasque's stomach is awesome! (although it needn't have happened if I had a few more ranks in concentration)

[Anastasia]

The fight was cool, I mean the mechanical issues with uncapped MotD rather than any style issues.

[Anastasia]

Okay, so what's on your guys agenda in the immediate term? I'd like to clear out what's built up so some time can move along and stuff.

[Ebiris]

Waiting for my Blackball trap to catch something.
Waiting for Marchalu to finish her adventure.
Waiting for explorers in Tarrasque land to find anything interesting.
Waiting for Mist Coil study to come up with anything cool I can use.

Lots of waiting!

Also, Marie and Anty and Ebony are going to go to Kelara and try to help my cultists not die horribly.

Speaking of, did Marie and Ebony manage to acquire a Mithral Golem to help guard my sealed evil in a can?

+3/+4 1/day to a roll is kinda sad for a Domain power. Can't you make it 1/encounter or something fun like that?

[Anastasia]

As written above, Hope is reasonably in line with other domains. A +4 untyped bonus to one of three things - all three useful too - is quite potent. Most domain powers that aren't class skills add-ons or bonus feats are like this. Animal, Strength, Protection, Destruction and so on are all 1/day, so that's normal enough. This bonus also avoids the overlap problem that the bigger bonuses of a higher level strength and protection run into - those are resistance and enhancement bonuses, which are usually going to be overlapping with a permanent item.

Adding to epic feat list:

Death of Magic [Epic]
Prerequisite: Mage Slayer, no spellcasting ability.
Benefit: Any weapon you wield is treated as a magebane weapon(+2 to enhancement bonus and plus 2d6 damage against spellcasters or creatures with SLAs). This ability stacks with similar abilities.

I didn't notice this during the Tarrasque battle until afterwards, and I forgot about it until now. Whoops!

Cor, you used Benign Transposition incorrectly in the Destroyer battle. When Amaryl was swallowed you couldn't have seen her to establish line of sight, which conflicts with the following from the SRD:

http://www.d20srd.org/srd/magicOverview/spellDescriptions.htm#targetorTargets

Some spells have a target or targets. You cast these spells on creatures or objects, as defined by the spell itself. You must be able to see or touch the target, and you must specifically choose that target. You do not have to select your target until you finish casting the spell.

This is a case where it isn't said explicitly in the spell, but the basic rules are meant to apply. It's the same sort of thing where the basic rules for conjuration(summoning) prevent you from dropping summons on the head of another creature. It doesn't say so in the spell, because you're meant to know this already from the over-arching rules.

Remember this for later Benign Transposition uses.

[Corwin]

I actually used a Limited Wish to achieve a similar effect, so I thought it was okay.

[Anastasia]

If you asked that, then it probably was and I either didn't realize it or I forgot it between now and then. The Destroyer battle was hectic and blah blah blah.

If not....eeeeh. That's not entirely unreasonable for a LW, but I'd want to review a few other teleport effects first.

[Anastasia]

Slashing Flurry from PHB2 added to houserules with slightly revised pre-reqs and adding the errata of it being a fighter bonus feat.

[Anastasia]

Na'lith up.

[Anastasia]

Cor: I was checking the Complete Mage errata. It mentions Deadly Sunstroke; note that it should have the fire descriptor instead of the light descriptor. This may matter for you. In particular, it should be Evocation[Fire], not Evocation[Light].
