    For future reference, the spire was crystalline star metal. Exact properties are yet undefined. DM leanings are that it is manacite that is formed in a star and has properties that make it conducive to spelljamming. Mostly used in spelljamming helms.

    @daermadm said in Daerma 3.5 Reboot: 18/18/18 is 153,000xp * 3 = 459,000xp That translates to a 21/21 or 30 just by straight XP. This is why BooJism started at level 30 and leveled up quickly to 31 and then I think 32 by the final GenCon I attended. Ok since Saz is coming in as an 18 (Mage)/ 18 (Cleric) / 18 (Psion) / 1 (Powermaster) Kargin retooled for 3.5 will be a single class 18 (Artificer) / 8 (Ancient). Rorek will for the most part still be a single-class dwarven fighter and still at 26th level.

    @daermadm said in Elemental Forge: Mortal a. Normal b. Epic Divine a. Demi b. Lesser c. Intermediate d. Greater Clockmaker DM Somewhere in this mix, there are floating around the space between Mortal and Divine you have the heroes and chosen examples like Rasingra, and Elisha. Additionally, there was the divine servants of the Gods such as Deva’s, Planetars, and Solars - can’t remember if there was another one in the mix there or not. Damar was a Plaentar for a great number of years before being invited to the forge of eternities, and eventually tricked mmm maybe more duped when Rorex and Damien decided to abscond all the beer and head to the Forge of Eternities themselves making Damar a Greater Forge God of the Dwarves. And then there is ole Ralax, who happily serves Istus the Greater Goddess of Fate, while chauffering around a dagger of power and its plinth.

    @dwarf said in Tier II: what you’re describing sounds more like a BattleDwarf - those you can change and mutate to your hearts content BattleDwarf, now that sounds like a pretty good idea for Tier 2 - 10E Dwarven Fighter.

    Greater Malison (Enchantment / Charm) Level: 4 Range: 60 ft. Components: V Casting Time: 4 Duration: 2 rds/level Area of Effect: 30-ft. radius sphere Saving Throw: None This spell operates exactly like the 3rd level minor malison spell; it allows a wizard to adversely affect all the saving throws of his enemies. The wizards places a -2 penalty on saving throws of all hostile creatures within the area of effect. Optionally, the wizard can impose a -3 penalty to saving throws against spells from one school of magic. This penalty is not cumulative with the specialist wizard saving throw penalty; the penalty is not increased to -4. Reference: Wizards Spell Compendium; Volume 2; Page 414

    Pierce Magic Resistance (Alteration) Level: 5 Range: 0 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 5 Duration: Special Area of Effect: 1 Spell Saving Throw: None Pierce magic resistance makes another spell more potent: It pierces magic resistance and some spells that shield a target from spells. Casting pierce magic resistance affects only the spell a wizard casts in the next round. If the target of the second spell has magic resistance, its magic resistance check is rolled twice . Unless both checks succeed, the spell pierces the creature’s magic resistance. For example, if Therdillion the Invoker casts pierce magic resistance, then a disintegrate spell at a creature with 50% magic resistance, the DM rolls the resistance twice to see if it proves effective . Unless both resistance rolls succeed, the spell gets through, forcing the creature to make a saving throw against the disintegration spell . If the saving throw is failed, the creature is disintegrated. The pierce magic resistance spell has a 50% chance of chance of instantly dispelling protections against spells of 5th level or less, including shield, gaze reflection, minor globe of invulnerability, protection from cantrips, protection from weapons (any), protection from magic (any), as well as any wall spell within these limits, including wall of force . Nonmetal protective charms and amulets that add +2 or less to saving throws vs . spell must make a saving throw vs, disintegration or shatter after the saving creature’s saving throw is resolved. The material component is a small iron spike or knife. Reference: Wizards Spell Compendium; Volume 3; Page 666

    Pierce Any Shield (Alteration) Level: 9 Range: 0 Components: V, S, M Casting Time: 1 rd. Duration: 1 rd. Area of Effect: Special Saving Throw: None A more powerful version of pierce magic resistance, this spell is cast one round before an offensive spell. The spell cast immediately after pierce any shield cannot be stopped by any known means: magic resistance, spell turning, or absorption, anti-magic shell, counterspell immunity, and so on. The only defense for the target of this spell is a saving throw, if the spell in question allows one. Even then, such rolls suffer a -5 penalty. The pierce any resistance spell does not protect the caster from events that would normally disrupt the casting of the second spell. The material component is a silver spike of knife. Reference: Wizards Spell Compendium (2E), Volume 3; Page 666.

    no, it’d still have the crit range/multiplier of the axe, because it’s an axe and not a scythe or scimitar. but if you merged, say a Mercurial Scimitar (+1 crit multiplier) and a Serrated Scythe (+1 crit range) then it’d become a Mercurial Serrated Axe +1…
