I have been looking at the ranger lately and when it came time to choose a weapon, the javelin just seems to make too much sense. Especially with quick draw. Here is what I am thinking. The powers that allow either a ranged weapon or two weapons to be armed (forgive me, I don't have a PHB...

Favorite is Delmonico Steak seasoned with salt, pepper, and thin brushing of garlic olive oil, cooked to medium rare over hot coals (propane is the grillmasters bane!). Coals need to be lit with either electric starter or the smoke can - no lighter fluid for true taste. Chicken is the great...

Is using poison always considered evil? I am thinking of taking a feat (Venom's Gift) from complete champion. It is a wild feat that when sacrificing a wild shape, all natural attacks deal poison damage. I thought that using poison is always considered as an evil act, but my character is...

Thanks for the ideas of alternatives for the standard Druid, but that isn't what I was looking for. I like the PHB 3.5 standard druid, save the animal companion ability. What I am looking for is if there is a replacement to the animal companion ability - that is it. Something similar to the...

drdevoid's got it right. I like everything about the Druid, other than animal companion. I thought there was some alternative in one of the rule books out there, I just cannot seem to find it.

Is there a alternate druid class ability if I were to forgo having an animal companion? It is extra paperwork that I don't care for, and when there is already a large party, it can be even more time consuming in combat. Any books out there that replace this class ability?

The feat Fast Wildshape says that you can Wildshape as a move action. Can I move and change shape at once? For example, start my round in human form and move 30 feet and change to a wolf at the same time, ending my move near an enemy, then taking a standard action to attack my enemy. Sound...

Vow of poverty ability enhancement modifiers affects your human form strength, not your wildshape strength score.

Is it possible to lift an enemy and then throw them? I would love to be able to use environment more and I think this would be one way to do so. For example, pick up an enemy and throw them into a pool of lava, off a cliff, into a pit of spikes or into an area effect spell ("Back into Evard's...

The dialogue that transpires between box 4 and 5 really has me wondering... Box 4: Roy: "He's- He's here???" Roy's Mom: "Yes. Has been for 18 years, apparently." Then box 5: Roy's Archon: "I don't understand. I wasn't briefed on any-" Roy: "Stay here." Roy's Archon: "But I'm supposed...

My DM decided that it does apply. Rake goes up one die. Another doozy though - Does an increased strength increase the Rake damage (Animal Growth, Bear's Strength, etc...)?

A druid takes Improved Natural Attack (Claw). So now, every form he takes increases by one increment, right? So, I can be a Polar Bear and each claw deals 2d6 damage, but if I shape into a leopard, my claws deal 1d8 each, and so on. What about Rake? Since using Rake is using a claw, would...

Thanks for all the feedback then chums. I will definately not be taking this feat. I was looking into it becuase my druid got a Natural Spell nerf (can only cast self buffs and heal myself while wildshaped). My guy has Vow of Poverty and not the best physical stats, so most of his time was...

So, Rapid Spell with spontaneous casting of a full round action spell casting time is pointless? In order use it with Summon Nature's Ally, do I need to memorize it then?

If I were to have the Rapid Spell feat (metamagic feat that decreases the casting time for spells at +1 spell level adjustment, so a Full Round casting time = 1 Standard Action), and say I wanted to spontaneously cast Summon Nature's Ally II as a 3rd level spell as a standard action. Can I do...
