I've been playing a warmage for a fair amount of time now. I multi-classed him with Paragon Human from Unearthed Arcana to level 3 (+2 spellcasting levels over 3 levels, improved hits, added skills that were weak for a warmage, and proficiency in longsword; not to mention a +2 stat bump..) and...

If I had 3 levels of sorcerer, and then took 3 levels of Paragon Human (which gives +2 existing caster level by the end of that cycle..) I am assuming that my caster level for all purposes, including item creation feats, would be 5?

A question on the term "caster level." I know that for most purposes (overcoming spell resistance, for example..) caster level is number of of levels the characters has in one particular spell casting style. For example, if the character is a sorcerer 2 / cleric 3, and casts magic missile, his...

*Bump*! Still looking for a few good players!

Hey, thanks for the welcome! And I run either Midnight, or my own spin on the ancient Harn setting by Columbia Games, so you can only imagine how gritty I like my games...

I'm going to agree that Ralston is no hero, any more than Reinhold Messner was for soloing Everest with no O2 (and also got a book deal, but at least he was able to type his with both hands...) Heroism, to me, is putting yourself in the way of danger for the benefit of others. And neither of...

I'd also wonder at the tech level of the game in question, and how much the GM is willing to dip into modern equipment and techniques. Rappelling, as it is done in the modern manner, requires specialized rope (one that is fairly smooth and not too thick..) some sort of harness and a rappell...

I'm looking for a few adult Tampa area gamers for a pretty standard 3.5 D&D game. Probably going to run in a somewhat toned down version of Forgotten Realms, but I am also open to other settings (Middle-Earth, Harn, and a few others..) depending on player input and interest. I would prefer to...

That Roethlisberger kid is the real deal. Much was said about Peyton Manning's rookie season several years back, and how poised and seasoned he looked, but the Steeler's rookie QB, with much fewer expectations, is just lighting up the field. And I am taking nothing away from Manning, who is...

A situation came up where my players encountered a switftly running, rapid filled river. They were being chased by a large horde of nasties. A caster cast waterwalk on everyone, and they intended to cross the river. Here is the issue, does the pace of the water affect those walking across in...

I let my subscription lapse within the last year, and within the last week tossed out a huge stack of magazines which had collected since 3e came out. I needed the space. My chief complaint was that frequently the magazine was essentially an advertisement for the latest D&D hardcover to come...

1. Harn by Columbia Games. It has some token d20 support and rules for its own system, but most books are generic campaign setting, with no game statistics. Harn is very much a "realistic" campaign setting, based heavily on western Europe in the 13th century. I started collecting Harn when it...

In a similar vein, and something I have also considered, but it does not fit my character concept, how about Warmage combined with Exalted Arcanist (BoED)? You quickly gain an expanded spell list over the five levels of the prestige class, and many of those are utility type spells like bless or...

Warmage can wear armor, up to medium, without penalty, depending on level, and use a buckler.

They have no utility spells. The only way they can detect magic is try to blow an object up. If it doesn't melt; then it is probably magic. I agree that to play a warmage you need to have a concept. They can blend well with other classes to make a very interesting fighter/mage type. The...
