Your base spells slots should be 3/1, not 5/3.

[Who]

Will postgame:
After binding an army of inevitables and destroying the sword (That's what we did, right? Got an army of robot policemen to destroy it so that we didn't need to?), he decided to leave the material plane. After visiting many different planes and becoming a higher level he settled in Sigil, the city of doors. There he researched magic, and waited.

my player's handbook, dungeon master's guide and monster manual arrived today; my friends are rolling their characters saturday, looking forward to it

[FakeGod]

I'm guessing you are playing 5e?

Best of luck, and if you could post session summaries, I do enjoy reading those.

Pretty much 90% done

[FakeGod]

HP should be 9.

What are your two starting feats?

[ConManMick]

Forgot to fix that after updating CON. PA and cleave

[GuyInFreezer]

Hey RC do you plan to element substitute anything other than fireball? If not, i recommend elven spell lore. It's a level 9 feat (you can just take twin spell at lv 3 to make a room). It only works on one spell (you gotta choose a spell when you take a feat, like arcane thesis), but this feat lets you change the spell to any energy type including sonic, which is better than acid.

[Who]

Otiluke's Dispelling Screen (CArc) has the following clause: "Spell effects not operating on objects or unattended creatures cannot pass through the screen."

Does it block:
Effect spells like rays? (The same category spell turning fails to block)
Area spells with a point of origin/center on the other end of the screen? (For example, if I cast glitterdust right next to the screen, does the screen prevent half the glitterdust from happening?)
Area spells with the caster on the other side of the screen (If I'm on one side of the screen can I cast glitterdust onto a monster on the other side?)
Spells which are neither area nor effect spells (For example: I'm on one side of the screen, can I use hold monster on someone on the other side)
Fireball, which is not an effect spell, but causes you to shoot a glowing bead (I mean does it block the glowing bead so like situation 3 but special).

My interpretation is that it blocks 1,2 and 5 but does not block 3 and 4, is this correct? Also does it block spells which do not allow SR? (For example: The orbs)

[FakeGod]

The wall is opaque, and it blocks line of sight.

It blocks everything you have named.

[Who]

Oh I misread that.

RIP my plans of having a sphere of invincibility.

[FakeGod]

Remember guys: no D&D this week.

Spoiler: Natural 1

[RadiantCowbells]

I can already use Sonic but I'm choosing not to because Who suggested I take a prestige class that boosts my elements but doesn't work on Sonic.

I also suggested you ask FG if resistance/immunity to acid is as rare as I think it is.

[Who]

Are you allowed to attack a creature and an object in the same full attack? Does "the ground" count as an object?
I've realized a hole in the exploding weapon/cunning defense build: You need to hit on your last attack. If you don't, the weapon doesn't explode, you can't hide, and you get murdered. Is it possible to get around this by using your last iterative (Which stood a good chance of missing anyway), to trigger an explosion by attacking the ground?

[lilith2013]

FG, can I take the penetrating strike ACF from dungeonscape instead of trap sense?

[FakeGod]

yes

I think you have to hit a creature and ground isn't a creature.

Campaign almost done!

Campaign 7: Barrelsford

The forest town of Barrelsford seems like just another sleepy town that has seen better days. When a silver mine has been discovered in the area, Baron James Armsworth named it after his wife, Sylvia, and founded Barrelsford to reap the benefits. Few years ago, the mines had to be closed down when the miners dug into a cavern full of poisonous gas. The inhabitants now live by logging, farming, trapping, and prospecting where they can. The town’s major export is its barrels. They used to be in high demand at the mines to transport the ore; now, the barrels themselves are shipped downriver for sale. The town still provides the baron with a trickle of tax money, and the baron has honored his commitment to the townsfolk by maintaining a local militia.

By the way, I'll be using this campaign to run a D&D for newbie scummers, here.
