Fun Finds v5.0

Where would Char Op be without shittily written rules?

[SorO_Lost]

Where it's today?

Poorly written rules only spurs debates, you'll still optimize the crap out of whatever you can

[Amechra]

Aw, but the debates are the fun part of the hobby!

Oh, and [http://dndtools.eu/spells/spell-compendium--86/light-of-lunia--4368/]Light of Lunia[/url] and the rest of its line are kinda neat, and got a buff in the Spell Compendium.

It's like a weaker version of Produce Flame! Though it is a [Light] spell, so it would work with Radiant Servant of Pelor to be a little better.

I mean, the 3rd level version, Light of Venya, can be used to throw two 6d6 touch attacks against Undead and Evil Outsiders (this damage is reduced to 3d6 against other creatures), which is actually pretty neat if you have something to toss through the ranged touch attack.

I kinda wish that they did additional spells for the higher peaks of Celestia; Light of Venya started adding healing as an option, and I think the higher levels could have some pretty neat additional effects.

Looking at the Stronghold Builder's Guide, you can compare the prices of Adamantine, Iron, and Obdurium... Using the prices for walls, you could apply that to non-armor/shield/weapon iron items, giving you a price gp/lb for these items.

Adamantine = 3x iron item price, obdurium = 6x iron price.

so an amazing lock (iron 150gp) would cost 450gp for adamantine and 900gp for obdurium.

any idea what the breaking strength of these vs. their iron counterpart? 2x adamantine? 3x obdurium? Since the hardness is that many times larger, but hp increases 33%/50% for adamantine and 2x/2.33x for obdurium, depending on normal vs. freestanding walls.

[Kethrian]

Adamantine is 5x the price of iron in that book ...

[zook1shoe]

.... Doh

[Kethrian]

Also, thanks for the reminder of obdurium.  Now I have added it to my homebrew materials fix.

[zook1shoe]

Yw remember its hardness isn't bypassed by adamantine

WTF is going on with the range in that spell? The block at the top lists it as medium, but the text says 30 feet...

[awaken_D_M_golem]

realmshelps has Medium range, but doesn't have the text.

Ranged Touch Attacks usually have a fixed text range,
not something like Medium.

 

[Amechra]

Another example of WotC's stellar proofreading.

The same error was in the Planar Handbook one.

[zook1shoe]

In my lists, I've found a couple spells that have range, area, and targets 

[awaken_D_M_golem]

Triton is near useless as a race, but ...

3 outsider rhd + 2 LA , which can be bought-off by level 20.
Summon Nature's Ally 4 with cl 7.

Feels like a decent early entry Druid caster cheese something.

Players Guide to Faerun; Arcane Preparation

Benefi t: Each day, you can use one or more of your spell slots to
prepare spells you know. (Usually, you do this in order to apply a
metamagic feat to the spell.) Thereafter, you can cast that spell as
a standard action even if you apply a metamagic feat to the spell
as you cast it. Preparing a spell uses a slot of the appropriate level.
Once the spell is prepared, you can’t use that spell slot for anything
else until you cast the prepared spell.

Standard Action Planar Binding, Augury, etc.

Apocalypse from the Sky?

[Amechra]

Genesis?

[zook1shoe]

*cough* epic spells *cough*

oh, I'll just develop this spell that reduces the DC by 220, forcing you to cast over the course of an extra 100 days, 10 min... Oops, I just cast that spell as a standard action
