homebrew  I'll retry: Q151: Disregarding the usual 30' limitation, is there any way of delivering sneak attacks at range greater than eldritch spear (which is 250')? +1 Distance Heavy Crossbow using Flight bolts for triple length range increments? That would be a single range increment of 360 feet. Add in a Gnome Crossbow Sight from the A&EG and reduce the increment penalty by 4. I'm not technically sure what you are asking? That's 3600 feet without using any PrCs. I think smacking someone from nearly 7/10ths of a mile counts as sniping. Most modern snipers have issues outside of much more than 1000 yards today as it is due to wind drift, unless they are in a controlled zone with wind blockage. |

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...

Sneak attack is only within 30', though I'm sure that there is a feat that lets you hit 60' away. Dead-eye shot maybe? |

Need I say Hunter's Eye + Sniper's Shot + Arrow Storm would be amazing against an army? |

bump Q 148 Is there a thread on the UA variant of magic points? I'm looking for Duskblade, and all the other magic users out there (including Mystic Ranger, Pathfinder classes, etc). And not a thread, anyone come up with their own version? |

And not a thread, anyone come up with their own version? AotR had an awesome one that worked great. Unfortunately, it was lost in one of the reorganizations of the WotC forums. I have the original link, but I've never managed to find an archival of it, if someone else wants to try: http://forums.gleemax.com/showthread.php?t=844690 |

Q153: Can I apply Empower Spell to Arcane Fusion or not? I'm not sure I can, even if I use it to cast Wings of Flurry + Magic Missile.
Twin works, as does Repeat, but do Maximise/Empower/Energy Sub. and similar work?

+1 Distance Heavy Crossbow using Flight bolts for triple length range increments? That would be a single range increment of 360 feet. Add in a Gnome Crossbow Sight from the A&EG and reduce the increment penalty by 4.

Most modern snipers have issues outside of much more than 1000 yards today as it is due to wind drift, unless they are in a controlled zone with wind blockage. That's exactly what I was after. The math is a little off though: great crossbow=150 flight arrows=+25 distance enchantment = x2 that gnome bow in A&EG isn't a crossbow though... |

An interesting read, nice to see a civil discussion The point of Spell Resistance is to make it harder to get buffed. And healed. Don't forget that. Huge amounts of people are fuckwits. That doesn't mean that fuckwit is a valid lifestyle. Old Geezer's Law of Hobby Taste: The more objectively inconsequential a hobby is, the more disagreements within the community will be expressed in outrageously insulting, overblown, and ludicrously emotionally laden terms. More Funny than HumbleYour a shifter... you have all you ever need. It blows MoMF out of the water But if your greedy for more [ Wish] for something that only effects you, like another class level or two that doesn't count against your ECL. Yes, I'm the 3.0 "Masters of the Wild" shifter, the awesome kind. My favorite form to take is Force Dragon. Yes, I am immortal ... My character is hands down the coolest guy in the campaign and there is nothing I could possibly want. PBMC gets a cookie for DotA r |

I would think not, since it doesn't have any variables itself. |

 If you stop ignoring 289 pages telling what the intent is to stretch "more power" in your own god complexion of your interpretation trumps all to cover ability adjustments from aging then I will ignore a quarter page of rules that exist within a sidebar.
I think in this case the grammar is less important than whether the Str and Dex bonus provided to your created undead scales.

Not the steambow or whatever it is, the Gnome Crossbow Sight. You attach it to a crossbow. Page 36. And I apparently remembered flight arrows incorrectly. Either way, it's still 3500 feet max range on a Great Crossbow, or 2900 max on a regular heavy crossbow. And there are a couple ways to expand that further, too. |

Q 154 Anyone know where I can find the adventure of Aleena vs Bargle? I'm looking for the full details as to how Bargle killed her (other than magic missile), etc.
From google: Any kid who read the Mentzer-edited version of Basic D&D and played through its instructional solo adventure was set up to hate Bargle. In it your nameless fighter meets a cute Cleric girl (her Elmore-illustrated portrait sorta makes her look like the ideal prom date of 1985) who gets friendly with you, only to have her killed off right before your eyes by a magic missile from Bargle, who escapes handily. And there's nothing you're allowed to do to stop any it, because the script says so. A bit cruel when you think about it, failing utterly as a hero being your introductory experience to fantasy gaming. And there's no closure, unless you can talk someone into running the adventure in the DM's book, and that only suggests that Bargle might be lurking on the bottom level (I'm not sure he was even statted). So yeah, its pretty much that anyone who did basic D&D knows who Bargle is and feels a little burned for the experience, and since nearly every current gamer grew up on basic D&D … |

Can anyone with Dungeon Magazine 144 check the Critical Threat and verify for me that Bargle at lvl 15 is actually stated there? It's like one of the only magazines I didn't buy, and the pdf doesn't have page 94. If he's there, I'll be picking up a copy online. |
