If you can provide any help to me, I would love advice on how to change the lich's spell list in the Monster Manual to be as powerful as possible. The DM will be using the Monster Manual stats for lich so it will be the lich and probably some high level allies up against a party of six characters ranging level 6 to 9. Preferably stuff that can counter a flying, chameleoned psion with an undead bane sword. I just don't want the campaign to end with the final boss getting absolutely assraped by a single player and make our DM give up on DMing forever.

Magic items, spells, whatever. I own literally every single 3.5 book and I've been poring through them for a good way for this guy to at least be a challenge. OR at least counter Captain Chameleon.

Also share stories of huge fuckups you've made. Mine was, obviously, supporting us switching to 3.5. Should have just finished the campaign in 4e. It's probably one of the best ones I've been in as a player, and I fucked it up by introducing them to 3.5. I don't like 4e at all but I could tolerate it.

>people are using rules wrong, stuff is getting out of control because the DM doesn't enforce the right rules and lets everyone bullshit their way to victory

Your DM is a pussy. Tell him that and show him where the rules are by page so he can use them mid session. damn, open up the book in the exact passage and read it loud for him if need be.

Your problem exists because you guys are assuming that rules trump common sense while not properly using the rules, thus getting the worst of both words. ALWAYS REMEMBER: The DM has the final word.

As a Lich, you have absurd combos and possibilities. For starters, he's got darkvision and Truevision spells so he can't fail spot checks. He's also *Undead*, so he's immune to critical hits and precision damage like Sneak Attack. Then, he's not hurt by sunlight, so Daylight-line spells give up to -40 to the chameleonfag's hide checks. They can be Permanence'd or affixed to magic items, and activated with a command word.

For combat spells, any God Wizard guide can help you. It's not hard to make a caster that can wreck 5 other characters of the same level, let alone stuff way below his level. SUMMON FUCKING ELEMENTAL MONOLITH FOR ONE.

You can really just look up any Wizard guide on the various charop forums for the Lich, though I'm not familiar enough with 3.5 Wizards off the top of my head to help with specifics.

As for Chameleon guy, an item (make it consumable so the party doesn't get it?) of +20 Spot and Listen would be cheap, and I think there's a ring of Tremorsense somewhere that would help.

You could also use some of their rulebreaking tricks against them so if they try to argue you can't do that you can just point out that would mean they can't do it either (a scroll or something of Chameleon comes to mind).

Also, depending on what he's doing while hiding, he may not even be allowed to try to hide. iirc staying hidden after doing something takes a move action.

This. D&D settings run on spiral power.

I remember 3.5 had rules for required downtime in order to level up in the DM's guide, but it really just got in the way and wasn't particularly more immersive than just doing it on the spot. I think the other editions also probably have something similar, but I haven't bothered to look, since it just seems like a bad idea in general to ever implement such a thing

>>51950634
Way too crunchy, but the World on Fire supplement has some of the best writing on tradecraft & operations I've ever read in an RPG.

>>51950634
Spycraft and the sequel are trying to hammer a round peg into an ethernet port.

The problem with them is that with anything above random character building (i.e. a sentient human picking options) they can leave any and all realistic opposition in the dust.

By about 4th level, no police force on earth could catch the Wheelman in my Spycraft game. Not with helicopters, not with planes, nothing. The hacker was well on the way to being able to hack Norad in a standard action, and the snoop, ironically, was almost useless because he would detect every clue instantly, but because of how the adventures are structured was not allowed to progress much faster than a rule-of-cool bumble from gunfight to carchase.

d20, in short, cannot make anything even remotely resembling the real world work. Abandon your hopes, turn to another system for modern shit, and move on.

>>51951340
Hmm, good to know. What about Night's Black Agents?

anyone figured any good combos with B&M yet? I feel like there's some real potential to pull off some crazy shit with bonesaw.

This goes against the autism stereotype, but sounds like it's less about the rules and more with having fun with it.

How much can they handle in terms of in game rules? Pay attention to what they like and dislike. Be willing to throw out the rules entirely if they look like they're not having fun.

How much experience do you have taking care of autistic kids?

>>52178065

I wouldn't do it for less than $200 a session, but then I've had experience of being responsible for autistic teenagers and I know I hate it. I think it really comes down to whether you're cut out for the position.

>>52178201
I don't think it actually sounds that bad.
I've only met one of them, but this does feel like a job for rules-fudging have-fun mode.
I'd probably end up running something themed like pic related.

I don't have that much experience. In high school there was an autistic guy who I got very good at talking to and I think he considered me one of his few friends, even if I couldn't stand him.

I've only met one of them, so they might not all be that bad

Repostan

Since Guilliman has essentially allied with the Ynnari in the battle against Chaos, can we assume that Mr Statesman will learn about and extend an olive branch to the Craftworld Eldar and Tau to join forces?

I'm imagining at the very least diplomatic missions to create a ceasefire to not have these dangers on their mind as the 13th Black Crusade is going on.
