Yep ya really miss bard & marshal. But on top of that you should pick leadership feat to get extra partymembers. With all those auras you are really going to hit with it even as cohorts are two levels lower. We have in our campaing a marshal 2 / bard 4 cohort who just keeps on chanting or...

I'd understand this question as: 'if after all modifications you could be either small or medium which one you'd pick'. That means stats forexample should stay same. Therefore it would only give 20ft mv, +1 hit, +1 ac, 3/4 carrying and -5 grapple, +4 hide and did i forget something. For +1 to...

That's true, but surprise is worth a lot more. For example I run around corner and stumble upon a rogue. Im not surprised as hes bit stumbled too. Still he manages to draw his dagger out before I can react well enough stabbing my lungs. If id been surprised Id not been aware of the attack even...

Ive having leadership now. We're playing WLD and group has players attending each session from (3) 4 to 7 + DM but usually its 5 PCs. Were having quite much trouble filling all slots (now we have [barb/cleric alot away now], barb/fighter, sorc, druid, pally/rogue, ranger, [wizard/rog alot away]...

Yes, thats what RAW says. Although I find it utterly stupid that Rogue 1 is crap if it has racial HD. Like why lizardman can be decent rogue?? Without lotsa more levels than others??? Id rule anyday that you get difference of skillpoints as starter (ie racial hd give 2, rogue 8 => youd get...

Ill agree. Not that DM is there just for players but still if all PCs want certain type of campaing why try to enforce them into something else. But also players should be aware that if you play for example Worlds Largest Dungeon there is no way you can fit sailing pirates in it. -Dracandross

Thats right for the feats, we dont have PHBII for instance. But even with it 1/2 feat for barbarian or ranger specially at first level is cheap. At least if you start at 3+ so that feat wont hurt you on the begining. But yes its not insane anymore at least for powerplaying. Id not really call...

It's 10 skillpoints for effective feat (nimble fingers). Could take those for my current rogue to increase those skills even more. WLD is quite nasty on traps specially lockpicking is now over the edge (max ranks: 11, +2 lockpicks, +2 feat, +5 stat, +3 from marshal for total of 23) but disable...

It's better not to enforce it strictly. And why would PrC be different to any non-core base class. Theres also lots of ways to pick level or two among them. Easiest is fighter, why would any sane player play pure fighter? For skillpoint view theres ranger dip and for rage barbarian and for saves...

I'm wondering why githzerai is then so good monk race as it gives +dex. If str monk is so much better why not half-ogre is not doable (well they get some -stats) but at least they'd really go for the str part. Of course being large isnt that good as theres always nice ways to get it on...

But hey I also mentioned that KILLING is not neccessary to deal with encounter just overcome it somehow. There was a thread about Mr. T and how to keep it down without killing. So you could get 6k exp without spell expenditure. And yes its not all about exp but that just doesn't sound fun to me...

I can see why paladin can't be necromancer but I can't understand why not rogue. Rogue can hit vitals when defending is harder but ho that is dishonorable, like if you hit 'vitals' and behead your opponent dead is dead, R.I.P. Reasoning should lead to ban of criticals on pallies too. And skill...

By the rules 5k exp is needed but in the spirit of awarding XP its not. Unless campaing is ending on Mr. T it's not really rewarding for player to nail it. Id say you have few options: 1) Provide NPC or scroll to avoid one PC losing exp 2) Provide storyexp award for caster worth of 5k exp...

Id like to point out that increasing number of 8man just twice isn't most likely enough. As they have more people they have enough crew to fill slots that are needed just once like trapfinder&disarmer. That will leave more room for supporting chars like druid/bard/marshal/whatever or more sorcs...

Well it's kinda stupid, why would you take AoO unless its provoked by spellcasting (mostly you cant kill one with AoO or they wouldnt try that maneuver anyway. Then AoO should have considerable +hit modifier at least to make it somewhat usable option. Also 1 round is 6 seconds, in which you...
