The way our DM handled create water is like this:

Create water is a 1st level spell
It multiplies water already present at 1 gallon/caster level (no limit)

It worked well for us. However I fully admit that I took full advantage of the rare Breeze cantrip. A free +2 to your check against the heat is nothing to sneeze at.

I love me some dark sun Try this guy, he ran a great game

Yes, the game was an absolute blast!

I believe I'm going to bow out. Life is a bit too hectic for me ATM to add another game on as well as learn a new system. I hope to game with you all in the future, it was a blast!

Perhaps this would be a good chance to get my feet wet in 5e. I have heard pretty good things about it.

So...where should I start? I obviously don't own any books. Is there an online resource like the PFSRD?

As much as I really enjoyed this game and this group, I'm admittedly a little hesitant about getting into 5e.

"Nnn!" Daina quickly goes over to him to make sure he's alright. She felt the claws of death closing in on him, but the pacifist struck the killing blow. She smiles and gives him a nod, then looks to where he is pointing.

Perception: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (13) + 15 = 28
Spellcraft: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (13) + 19 = 32

Daina pales. <<We're...we're not done yet. There is a scrying sensor from a greater scrying spell over the body of the Viper. Do not talk aloud. We should take what loot we can and leave quickly.>>

Daina feels her conscious tearing at her, but she had been hardened since the journey began and knows that she has to remain focused. If she doesn't act or acts poorly, more will die. With a wave of her hand, she calls forth another red bead, using a metamagic rod to hyperfocus the magic. "Ixem Garth!"

Fire Damage: 10d6 ⇒ (2, 2, 3, 2, 6, 2, 2, 1, 4, 5) = 29 Empowered for 43 damage. DC 24 reflex for half

Penetrate SR (boss): 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (18) + 10 = 28
Penetrate SR: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (4) + 10 = 14
Penetrate SR: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (20) + 10 = 30
Penetrate SR: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (2) + 10 = 12

Tentacles Grapple: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (1) + 15 = 16
Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

Good to see you Woki! Remember that you need to roll to penetrate spell resistance for every enemy you hit, as they all have SR.

My vote is blow all of her resources. This seems like the big fight. Besides, it's better to die because you're out of resources than die with resources still left to spend.

Daina ignores the one attacking her, trusting Nnn and her own magic to keep it at bay for a few moments longer. She weaves around the creature trying to attack her and this time switches to a different tactic: one that will ignore their resistance to magic. A field of rubbery tentacles appear out of the floor to grasp at those within it.

Concentration DC 23: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (6) + 17 = 23 Pass

CMB: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (9) + 15 = 24
Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

Black Tentacles, centered so that I catch all of the enemies (except the one attacking me) and not any allies. If they are grappled and try to escape, the tentacles CMD is 25.

Ah, good catch. However I believe you only roll to penetrate spell resistance once per spell, and you apply the check to all opponents hit by the spell.

Spell Penetration: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (20) + 10 = 30

Understood, thank you! Also, throwing the fireball will drop my invisibility, just so that you know for future posts. However I am still flying as high as I can (maximum about 100 ft.) and have 5 mirror images.

Your understanding of the movement rules are correct. It keeps gargantuan creatures from taking combat reflexes and destroying anything that tries to close with it.

I am flying and invisible and have mirror images. Did it get past all of that?

Daina reals back and flies further into the air, as high as she can go. Then, holding a metamagic rod, she unleashes a bead of fire down into them. "Burn, demon!

Fire Damage: 10d6 ⇒ (3, 6, 2, 4, 6, 6, 5, 1, 2, 3) = 38

Centering a fireball in front of Grit and using my selective metamagic rod to have it only hit the enemies. In that spot, it should hit every spawn and the boss. DC 24 reflex save for half damage.

Alright, judging by the sudden increase in power I'm going to change tactics.

<<Grit, be ready! That's not going to hold it back!>> The half-elf grimly flies back above Raun, casting a second haste spell to buff herself, Raun, Woki (Roki on the map?), and Nnn. Then she narrows her eyes at the portal. Come on through. Come into our world and burn for it.

Alright boys. Let's show this thing who's boss.

Over the course of 3 rounds. Assuming it doesn't break through during that time.

I will create a lattice of stone using the spell 3 separate times. That should give me a lot more material to work with.

With the viper being handled by her allies, Daina turns her attention to the impending larger threat. She flies over to the portal, then casts stone shape and closes in the entire portal under stone. At the very least it should buy them some time.

Grit, by the time we reach you in initiative you and your tigone will both be hasted.

Bah, darn these large maps and you guys always splitting up!

Daina flies forward in the air, staying as quiet as possible with her invisibility, and patiently waits on Gorkhan.

Move action to move 60 feet to the west. Holding a standard action to cast haste once Gorkhan goes in for an attack, at which point I will cast haste on Grit, Raul, Gorkhan, and Raun if she manages to get within 30 feet of them. If Gorkhan does not go in for some reason, my actions will be the same except for Gorkhan not receiving the benefits of haste.

<<We could wait for Raun first.>> Daina suggests.

Want to catch everybody with a single haste if possible. If not, she will hit as many as possible.

<<Everybody wait! Just give me a moment to figure out what's going on in here...>>

Daina will keep concentration for 3 rounds to learn as much as she can. Feel free to roll any needed spellcraft or knowledge checks.

Wide-eyes at the display of imminent destruction, Daina throws out detect magic to try to understand what's going on.

Daina narrows her eyes but remains silent and invisible, preferring to remain unknown.

Sense Motive: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (6) + 10 = 16

If he seems to be telling the truth let's go fry the bigger fish.

Daina will also cast fly on everybody (wand) and bull's strength on Raun. Anybody else for bull's strength? Also, does Nnn want an invisibility?

Ah, I thought you might have. Well I will dispel away than. If he turns out to be a non-caster (or psionic), then I will just dispel whoever or whatever is buffing him. Same end.

Blah, I forgot you can't actually dispel psionic effects with dispel magic.

Daina buffs herself and gestures to move forward.

Mage armor, shield, mirror image, invisibility, fly. Also, who wants a bull's strength.

Daina is already crunching the possibilities. "I could just focus my efforts on dispelling his magic."

Oh I thought you were choosing. I'll throw in anything I'm capable of casting.

Ah, I thought nothing too unusual was saying don't go into some obscure book and find some item that nobody has ever heard of.

Hmm...

6k to play with? Taking suggestions again.

I could pick up a 9th level scroll just to nuke at them the final fight.

I'm absolutely terrible at druids and wildshape in particular, so I didn't say anything.

I can just imagine the last fight being instantly ended by a feeblemind spell. It's so tempting.

There's a lot of uses for wall of stone, but one of my favorites is "Fail a reflex save and be completely out of the fight unless you have teleportation".

Taking opinions on what 5th level spell to get:

Telekinesis
Wall of Stone
Feeblemind
Lesser Planar Binding (DM? Would this one even be allowed?)

I'll take the metamagic rod. I could give a big rules explanation why, but to be honest I'm just collecting them as a hobby now.

Daina smiles at the return of the Wanderer. "It is good to see you well. Yes, we had...varied success." She breathes out slowly. It's good we have such a strong ally on our side. "Come, let us finish this, one way or the other."

I'd be happy to throw some mage armor on Nnn.

It's the "Ranger's Trap".

Rangers can track at double speed. Now that sounds pretty handy, doesn't it? Except oftentimes a DM will just have you arrive exactly when he wanted you to, regardless of the fact you track faster than other characters.

I realize I can still use it in combat, but my question is this: Will long-term transportation actually effect the outcome of the game at all?

I can probably do that real quick.

Are we going to have any access to some spells in civilization? A lot of 5th level spells are very tempting...

Edit: How do you handle teleport? Some DMs allow you to gain a lot of utility from it, but others just let you teleport yourselves instead of having an NPC do it for you, basically just costing you resources.

Indeed. Just extremely busy this week because of workloads (it's test week). Please DMPC as necessary.

Wow. That ability has some extreme range to it, especially considered it is also a debuff and has really high damage.

What a complete moron. It must not be an intelligent creature. Daina lazily throws out a haste spell on the melee fighters and lets them take care of it. How are we going to take care of this situation though? She ponders as the battle rages on.

Does the gladiator appear able to see us while invisible?

I should be invisible right now.

Daina also cloaks Nnn in invisibility to protect him from the gladiator.

Daina casts invisibility on herself and quietly goes back in to the shining child. If the creature looks intent on killing the undead gladiator, she will dismiss the spell protecting it.

Was there any sort of knowledge check for the shining creature? I want to know if a nonviolent ends for it is possible.

I can't keep up, so I suppose I should keep the shining creature from going on a murder-fest.

Honestly, I'm at a loss of what to do. I can't keep up with Grit and I have no other way of knowing where they went.

Do keep in mind that resilient sphere doesn't last forever.

Daina breathes out softly. <<I think we lost them...teleportation is very hard to track, if not impossible...>>

Daina stands and then shifts underneath the thorns, trying to get closer to the action.

Double move action. Can't do anything without line of sight.

I will throw it at the gladiator than.
