Stick ranger orbs1/9/2024 I think that's what really riles up most others, too. The result isn't an issue, in my eyes it's the design philosophy behind it. My problem with the orbs in its entirety is that they are counter-intuitive to the rest of the 3.x system, which is something that 3.x was supposed to avoid. I have no problem with the damage the spells can dish out, nor even that there are such spells which bypass SR. Leaving me at mid-levels able to be of more use with a good dagger than my spells isnt a good way to let me be "magic-y" If you want me to be a mage, let me be magic-y. If Im going to be reduced to a walking scrollcase, you might as well just let me play another rogue and sell the party more scrolls! My suggestion, roll up a wizard/sorcerer (without conjuration), fight 2-3 months(real time) of SR heavy creatures, let me know how much fun you're having watching the Barbarian and Rogue play. I actually got to contribute in the last fight other than layering Dispel Magic, which our cleric already had well under control. Near the end of the module we leveled and I took an orb spell. Do you know how hard it is to roll ALL 6s on 10-15 dice? Good luck with that.Īs for the SR: I played the SR game (blaster-built celestial sorcerer) for an ENTIRE module during the CotCT AP, basically watching as everyone else played for several gaming sessions AND I had Spell Penetration/Greater Spell Penetration. let's say a dragon, but it's game breaking-world ending-OMGDAWGONFYRE for the wizard/sorcerer to toss Orb of Force for 60(10d6) damage max? Which he can't even 'Empower' for +50% until 11th level. How I disagree: So it's OKAY for a 10th level Barbarian(2H), Ranger (Archer), Rogue(TWF), Paladin to pour potentially 100+ damage into. How I agree: In a party that has an Evoker and a Conjurer (2 separate characters), I could see the Evoker whining about the orb spells, in which case I would probably just allow the Evoker access to them. ![]() ![]() ![]() This topic has been covered at least twice before, just sayin'.
