Seriously, why are the local humans such dicks? Had a human wizard that was known as Katherine the Great by the wizard-hating dwarves, because she spoke draconic and brokered a peace between them and the kobolds. The orcs called her Katherine the Timeless, because she got ahold of a potion of heal, and a philosopher’s stone before her 17th birthday, and made herself a potion of eternal youth/ immortality. The local humans called her Katherine Lady of Death…

Ok, that’s some BS. Clerics, Wizards, Druids, Sorcerers, Bards and probably a bunch of other prestige classes could absolutely use meta-magic feats in 3.0, 3.5 and the eventual 3.25 which blends 3.0 and 3.5. The group just decides in the beginning if they will use the stronger or weaker rules, and plays 3.25 with that set of rules, though pretty much everyone goes with the weaker set of rules for druids, because they were OP in 3.0 and while they buffed all the martial classes for 3.5 so they could keep up with the other magical classes, they nerfed every magical class except druids, which they made even more OP.

The real decision is if you’re going to use the stronger or weaker rules for the magical classes, except druids. For martial classes, use the stronger rules. For druids use the weaker rules. For the rest of the magic classes, use the stronger rules if you want to become gods, use the weaker rules if you only want to become an epic level party.

Are wizards restricted from meta magic feats in 5th?

If they are that just proves that 3.0/3.5 (3.25) is the best edition thus far.

They’re actually French

Life didn’t give us lemons. We bred those things from citrons and oranges and stole them from life.

We got to 40th level in that campaign. I played an Epic Wizard/ Epic Dweomersmith. The magic items I made for that character, and the rest of the group probably were technically minor artifacts. For instance, my headband was +6 to Str, Con, Wis, Dex, and Cha, +36 to Int, +100 to concentration, spell craft, knowledge arcana, and knowledge religion.

By the end of the campaign we had exterminated all the mind flayers and aboleth in several prime materials, as well as the astral plane of existence. Never could get permission to kill the ones in Sigil or the City of Brass

My first casting of Time Stop went overboard like this. I rolled 5 turns, and those 5 Delayed Blast Fireballs did enough structural damage to the cavern we were in to give us just enough time to confirm that everything on that end of the cavern was destroyed, before the cleric plane shifted us out of there. Lich and minions down? ✅ Lich’s phylactery destroyed? ✅ All other magic items and treasure destroyed? ✅ Whoops. Apparently doing almost 500 damage instantly causes cavern collapses, and blows up magic items, furthering the damage.

So in this case could a segment fault create a black hole?

Our poor cleric almost never got to go offensive, mostly because my wizard had a 16 Dex and Improved Initiative, so that she could go first in most combat instances, and well, fireball is effective.

When she did get to go offensive, boy howdy. She had Reach Spell, so all those touch spells just got a 15’ range. She walked within 10 feet of a Boss cleric and hit him with a Harm.

One of her wagers should be getting Konsi in, and out, of her Battleplate armor

I never played 4th. The spell was named Gaes/Quest in 3.5

They changed that between 4th and 5th? Silly WotC

Point of order, unless Konsi has some arcane channelling abilities that most clerics don’t, she’s casting Quest. Mystery should be correcting her from off panel.

There’s a satirical version

Oh, ok. That makes sense.

To be fair to Konsi, a 10 point boost in INT would be pretty psychologically shocking to most characters that aren’t Epic Level Wizards, and that’s just cause at that point an INT of 28 is normal for those guys.

Especially since a decent portion of the US democracy was lifted straight out of the Six Nations. They straight up copied the Native Americans in the New England area of the country. Which is why when you look at the Greek version of Democracy, and the US version, there’s a ton of differences

Tymora, I hope not. We shouldn’t be exporting our idiosyncrasies into our PCs. That’s external knowledge, and character abuse.

It still didn’t let me cast two spells per round, so I rarely cast haste, at least on myself. The fighter, monk, and rogue got hastes courtesy of the bard. I needed to be casting fly and fireball/lightning bolt. Occasionally we hit the cleric with a haste, but she had reachspell so it wasn’t needed.
