A 75 I remember hearing that multiple instances of the same metamagic doesn't stack in 3.5.
Not sure where it says this, but if I am wrong then Arcane thesis+ incantatrix + empower = infinite damage.
nowhere does it say that you can stack it. True, but Heighten is different from other metamagics in that there are different degrees of its application. The cleric isn't really adding the same metamagic twice, simply increasing the degree that he had applied it to. And the infinite damage idea wouldn't work even if you could stack metamagics. Incantrix's abilities are limited in uses/day  |

I am constantly amazed by how many DM's ban Tomb of Battle. The book doesn't even exist! Quotes: By yes, she means no.
That explains so much about my life. hiicantcomeupwithacharacterthatisntaghostwhyisthatamijustretardedorsomething
Why would you even do this? It hurts my eyes and looks like you ate your keyboard before suffering an attack of explosive diarrhea. If using Genesis to hide your phylactry, set it at -300 degrees farenheit. See how do-gooders fare with a liquid atmosphere. |

Yeah, most metamagic is pretty binary. "oh, this is a widened spell! If I add the widen spell feat to it, it'll still just be a widened spell."

Q 116 Can you be an epic shadowdancer at 11th level if you do the retraining thing and max out at 10 levels, or do you have to take another class instead? I'm only asking because I'm reading the City of Peril, and one of the encounters is a female shadowdancer 12. I always though you couldn't take epic levels until you were 20th.

You can't. NPC's in books are notorious for being flat-out wrong. |

You can't. NPC's in books are notorious for being flat-out wrong. Hmm, so it would seem. Doesn't help that the BAB is +8 even though it's a 3/4 progression, and should be +9, unless she's truly epic and has a wizard progression.  I guess this is one of those "accept it as it is, but don't bash your head against the wall trying to replicate a WotC creation." Anyone who's got access to the City of Peril adventure, check it out. It's real. Page 10. |

A gygaxian dungeon is like the world's most messed up game show.
Behind door number one: INSTANT DEATH!
Behind door number 2: A magic crown!
Behind door number 3: 4d6 giant bees, and THREE HUNDRED POUNDS OF HONEY! They don't/haven't, was the point. 3.5 is as dead as people not liking nice tits.
Sometimes, their tits (3.5) get enhancements (houserules), but that doesn't mean people don't like nice tits.
Though sometimes, the surgeon (DM) botches them pretty bad...
Best metaphor I have seen in a long time. I give you much fu. Three Errata for the Mage-kings under the sky,
Seven for the Barbarian-lords in their halls of stone,
Nine for Mortal Monks doomed to die,
One for the Wizard on his dark throne
In the Land of Charop where the Shadows lie. |

Choose your favorite Batman build, then add on a Brilliant Energy Longsword. There are other lightsaber setups around, for people who dislike that it can't harm droids. |

It also lists them as giants rather than constructs but i see the point. it would probably be about the same as a clay golem in that case anyway due to the equal HD so +8 LA  |

You have no idea how badly I wish I knew of one. Unholy Scion is the only one I know of, at +5. |
