This imaginary situation is not realistic. A group of adventurers that would be hunting a level 10 wizard won't have reliable means to obfuscate divination, unless you're assuming level 15 adventurers hunt level 10 wizards and waste their time on rescuing spoiled nobles.

Basically, the wizard will ...

ok thanks, and i was looking at it as a NPC wizard not a party wizard. That being the case isnt it a little more difficult to achieve those goals what with resting required time to re study etc etc. Anyway i will check your message.

Thanks again.

Ok that all makes sense based on the wiz being 17th lvl or higher and if so the party going after him will be comparably equipped for the mission. So to get a better grasp on this let me give you a scenario where a10th level Lawful evil wizard has just gotten news some of his minions have just ...

I have to agree on your premise on wizards when they have enough time to prepare, but otherwise they are no faster then a good thief as far as initiative. All the spells you mentioned are correct and assuming ymust have played a wizard at some time, how often did you take eschew materials and for ...

Now if your takling about changing any of the six known maneuvers into one of the ...

Even without houserule 3, they're already godly. This only enhances it.

This may be the case in your gaming group but I find even the high level wizards to not be so difficult should you be able to get close to them, A simple improved disarm will more often then not cause them to drop the staff ...

in defense of house rule three

though we give wizards the chance to cast any spell they know we do not give them the chance to cast ANY spell. Also the amount of spells they can cast are limited by the amount they can cast per day. wizard knows 3 first 2 second and one third ....that is all they ...

wonderful post, I for one have never been a fan of crafting skills except for mundane items.

Some things in particular.........
1. when leveling up if you are in a town you get max hit points, If still on an adventure you must roll for hit points.
2. Us the CMB/CMD from pathfinder for grapples...soooo much easier.
3. allow wizards to cast any spell they know rather then prepare specifics ...

try this instead

I have had numerous problems grasping all aspects of 3.5 and to this day always seem to screw things up. Recently I tried Pathfinder which is a streamlined 3.5 and is so much better overall. I would suggest getting a pathfinder core rulebook and a bestiary and that should be ...

oxymoron

Unfortunately posting for an RPG in a PC console forum really is an oxymoron. no offense meant but even with games like the witcher, the baldurs gate series, and Dragon age origins, there are no true RPG's only limited RPGs because the pc or console can only allow so much freedom of ...

1 No actually I find during hard times I spend more money on tabletop gaming items then any other recreational items. Overall it is cheaper and I can get long term playability for every penny spent.

2. any where from 5 dollars to 80 dollars U.S. depending on whether I am playing or DMing a game.
