Re: Silliest Material in 3.5e?
Isn't called "Experience points" Because you have experience as you level up? If she is separated from the pact she won't have her special abilities like normal. But the class levels she earned will still be there, due to her, key word, experience at being a warlock. What she gained like feats and skills proves she would keep the levels
So, does a archer that lost his limbs still retain the archer class? Yes, because he had the knowledge and experience. I think it's the same deal.All hail Jazath, Creator and Administrator of The Borg. They will bring order to this chaotic omniverse and impose their absolute will upon all creation.
Those who stand in the way of Jazath and his Borg will be dealt with violently and efficiently.
We are the Borg. Resistance is futile.
I present Jazath and his Borg

Re: Silliest Material in 3.5e?
it always felt weird to me that wands and staves couldn't be recharged.
I'm not saying making them disposable is inherently a waste, but they're roughly equivalent to guns that can't be reloaded.I also answer to Bookmark and Shadow Claw.

Re: Silliest Material in 3.5e?
I think it works on a enabling/learning basis. Once you unlocked the warlock powers you have access to em no matter what. Compare it with Sorcerer & Wizards. A Sorcerer is a natural talent who discovers himself how to use magic. The wizards goes to school to let other educate him. The warlock is to lazy to go to school and not a natural talent either. This is why he invites an evil entity as house teacher.
Don't we have rules to refill charges? Or was that just a specific prc ability? Dunno Imho there was something like that in 3.5 or pf..Extended Signature with Links to all my build showcases in the forum
My latest build showcases:
Gaive'Ur, the last Eldritch Knight of Bane (✝)
PACMAN, the Southern Beholder Mage (accelerated spell progression + double 9s)
Optimus Urbana Hierophantus - a Mobile Suit Gundam / Mech / Transformers build
Orko, He-man & Battlecat (a Dragonfire Mount's Ubermount and its Ubermount)
Giant Dwarf, the Rock Superstar (a War Chanter build)

Re: Silliest Material in 3.5e?
PF has stave recharge. 1 charge able to be recharged a day, gotta put a slot/spell equal to the highest level spell it can cast.

Re: Silliest Material in 3.5e?
I think you can use the old stick that ran out of charges completely and given the right feat craft it as a magic wand or staff again. Maybe it is like those “rechargeable” electronic batteries or devices that you are meant to let completely run out of power before you recharge them?

Re: Silliest Material in 3.5e?
Can I nominate Book of Vile Darkness?
That whole book says it's about evil campaigns and/or how to run villains. Yet it's more like a mix of edge and squick that would only seem mature to a 13 year old and has bafflingly bad advice on the actual bit about running villains / evil PCs.

Re: Silliest Material in 3.5e?
Also stupid thing: you have to be a caster to make things with Craft(alchemy). Yes, even nonmagical acid.

Re: Silliest Material in 3.5e?
"Mind rape" and "program amnesia" have more or less the same effect, but only one of them has the evil descriptor.

Re: Silliest Material in 3.5e?
Drow Sleeping Poison causes undue napping. I guess it's [Evil] napping.
Ravages were really a missed opportunity -- there are plenty of other non-suffering things you could do to impair combat capabilities, and spells which served that function such as calm emotions, hideous laughter, and irresistible dance were already in the game. Really just a failure of imagination to use ability damage.I want you to PEACH me as hard as you can.

Re: Silliest Material in 3.5e?
There's plenty of non-stupid things in BoED (and in BoVD as well) - unfortunately, the stupid things tend to get the most focus on by the fandom.
And of course different fans will have very different opinions. For some, "torture is always evil" is stupid. For others, it's not.Marut-2 Avatar by Serpentine

Re: Silliest Material in 3.5e?
I think barely anyone will say that view is stupid. Many will, however, say it's wrong.
Which gets us back to "alignment is dumb", which, yeah. "You wanna play an LG paladin? Oopsie, you just poisoned a mass murderer, so no more good alignment for you. Your NG barbarian body who just tore an animal in half and is currently bathing in her blood is fine though."

Re: Silliest Material in 3.5e?
BoED and BoVD had to deal with topics that have eluded thinkers for many millenia and them staple them into the framework of being objectively true in the world. I admire them doing as well as they did with an insane task, but alignment is ultimately highly problematic at best (heck, half the time things have certain alignments for convenience, no matter how little sense it makes).
As for something silly: let me hop on the "multiclass penalty" train. Its purpose was silly; its execution bad. Even the most RAW stringent DMs I knew would just drop it.

Thing item in BoED that gives ref dc 15 for half damage on attacks and evasion applies. Starmantle cloak? Take one ToB maneuver so you do not fail on 1s and get plus 14 reflex, and you are mostly immune to damage.

Re: Silliest Material in 3.5e?
There are a couple prestige classes that get a full attack after any Teleportation effect. One of the best spells for this, because it's level 1 and an immediate action, is called Stand. But, you have to be prone for it to work. This leads to a scenario in which the best tactical option for a character is to walk up next to an opponent, drop to the floor, then click their heals (or whatever casters do for somatic components while prone, but that's a post in and of itself) then next thing you know, they're stabbing someone a whole bunch.
