CapnAndy posted:And if you've got, say, 70 points in Sense Motive, suddenly that -10 you're laboring under isn't the world's biggest problem. What do we know about Tarquin? Tarquin is prepared. He can handle reality-warping lies. 70 points? His level would be in the 66 if he didn't have any magical assistance, and I can't really see anything lower than mid 40s even with some powerful magic items. Epic starts at 20, btw.

Yes, you can make a wizard that can kill pretty much anything. Whoopty-poo poo. Thats pretty much the most boring thing imaginable, and I cannot fathom why you're acting like every single person is going out of their way to break the game. I suppose you can "accidentally" break the game, but then why would you keep doing it? It's a terrible idea and only terrible people would keep doing it.

Basically every single person on the planet has no reason not to become a 1st level wizard (or if your DM allows it, a 0 level wizard!) just to get access to be able to cast prestidigitation. All you would need is a Int of 10 and someone to write down how to cast it so you can remind yourself every morning.

Zore posted:You can learn to use effects to negate the costs. Things like having people under you sacrifice a spell slot for the day with more power the higher the level of spell slot sacrificed. And since there is a ninth level spell called Gate which lets you summon and control things like Solars who have Ninth level spell slots, and they can summon more Solars to control you can get an insane chain pyramid scheme going that lets you make virtually any spell you want as there are literally an infinite number of Solars. I'm almost positive theres a rule that summoned monsters cannot cast any form of Summon Monster or Gate specifically for this reason.

You're right, 3.5 has some glaringly huge problems. But anyone who thinks that 4e fixed them completely is wrong. Mechanically I'd have to agree that 4e is probably superior in terms of balance, but its not balanced overall and it sacrificed the ability to have a huge range of options when building your character to do so.

ChaosSamusX posted:I know this is a long callback, but how did Crystal sunder Haley's bow in one hit back in Strip 607? As it was stated to be a +3 weapon, she would have to deal at least 46 damage to it, and weapons (I believe) are immune to sneak attack damage, meaning a Rogue/Assassin would have great difficulty dealing any high amount to it at one time. Critical Death Attack.

Sefer posted:I'm hoping this doesn't spark up edition warring again, but they did a little of that in 3.0 and a lot in 4e; there were official errata documents that fixed issues with rules and game elements. I recall only one or two in 3.0, and I have no idea if they did any in 3.5, but 4e has released at least a couple of dozen update documents and are still releasing small ones every month. It's possible to have an official authority that changes overpowered stuff so it's not overpowered anymore in D&D, they just never put any serious effort into it before 4e. 3.5 had lots of errata released for it, its was a big thing on the WotC forums every time one was released. Yeah... I used to post a lot on WotC... I was young and stupid.

And we really don't have any reason to assume that the axe is a +2 Unholy Greataxe that Tarquin just have lying in his personal stash that was A)something he could use and B)also a greataxe. Tarquin seems strong enough that the majority of the time he doesn't worry about optimizing so much as accessorizing.

On the other hand, they want to rule behind the scenes, and constantly shifting regime changes makes that a lot easier. If they really wanted the wars to stop, I believe they would stop pretty quickly.

Cliff Racer posted:True but for all you know that only entails raising an army in the desert and then storming the palace who's gates have mysteriously been left open. Tarquin is in a position to make coups much less long and bloody than if they'd been legitimate coups instead of propped up sideshows. A lame, half-hearted, "oh no, I am totally being executed" followed by a cabbage falling to a basket while someone squirts a bottle of ketchup everywhere is nowhere near as convincing as an actual leader who actually thinks he's going to die. Because he will. Die. Because he's going to be beheaded and replaced with an entirely now government. I suppose what I'm getting at is that actual coups are way more believable than pretend coups. Which fit perfectly into Tarquin's style. He has absolutely no reason to give two shits about how long or bloody the revolutions are, and in facts profits more when they are longer and bloodier!

He has at least one 5th and 6th level spell, and likely a few others in his 5th and 6th spell slots, but none of them were useful for combat. -EDIT- Not that its terribly important, however being able to summon a Planar Ally and a vampire with Thor's Might could be a deadly combo for the Order to face.

This may not mean anything per the rules, but in Forgotten Realms when Lloth went and hosed off to the Demonweb Pits and stopped giving her clerics any new spells or powers, the clerics could still cast the spells they had previously prepared, as well as any scrolls or spell-trigger items they had. Obviously as time went on such items became increasingly more precious, and very few preistesses had spells of their own, if any at all. So Durkon might keep his spells, but be unable to get new ones.
