    Which feat is this?

    Hi all, Very quick question; I have a feat recorded on an old character sheet that gives my bard +2 to perform checks as well as +3 uses of bardic music per day. On the old sheet it's recorded under the name "Artist", but the only feat of that name I can find now is from the FRCS and it's...

    Camera advice wanted.

    Hi all, hope you're all well. I'm posting here with the hope that perhaps some of you are budding photographers. Basically I want a camera. I've seen a lot of photography here, there and everywhere that takes my breath away, I'd really like to start up myself. The drawback: I know next to...

    Prestige class: Chameleon

    Morning all! I was trying to remember last night about a prestige class I'd read... somewhere. I'm fairly sure it was called Chameleon. Before I checked, I would've sworn blind it was in the Complete Adventurer, but it isn't. It's essentially a class based around lying and deception, you gain...

    Ten-Towns maps? (Faerun)

    Hi all, Just a quick one really... I was wondering if anybody knows where I can find maps of Ten Towns from the North. Within The North boxed set there's several maps that include an overview of the place, but I was wanting more detailed city-style maps of some of them... at least the capital...

    Ultimate AC Fighter Build?

    Hi everyone, first of all, thanks for reading. I'm in a search for the best possible build for a fighter to attain high AC. Below are what my character already has (stats, feats etc.) and I'd appreciate any input or ideally, a path to follow. Sources allowed are practically all WotC published...

    Blue steel... what's that then?

    Hi All, Just a quickie. In a 1st-session roleplay bonanza my character has been awarded a weapon made of something called "Blue Steel". It's a masterwork longsword set with two sapphires in the pommel and grip; have no idea if they'll be significent or not later on. Basically a family heirloom...

    Mirror Image - Clarification please.

    Hi all, Just two questions about Mirror image. Novice questions as they may seem, I would appreciate constructive answers where possible. Below from the SRD, emphasis mine. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Illusion (Figment) Level: Brd 2, Sor/Wiz 2...

    Polymorphing into an object.

    Hi All, Quick question, I shall keep it simple. I had an idea inspired by our Rogue's passion for scouting alone... it's barely ever safe. Can somebody please outline the easiest/most effective way that I could polymorph myself into an object to be carried by him on his scouting missions? The...

    2nd ed SRD? Or... explanation needed.

    Hey guys, I've got a friend starting up a 2nd ed game but he wants to use characters from a 3.5 game we were all recently involved in. I no longer own any 2nd ed books and I'm struggling to remember the rules for multi-classing (or duel-classing). Basically, my 3.5 character was a 12th level...

    Saving throw feats

    Hey all, I just noticed "Force of Personality" in the Complete Adventurer; basically use your CHA mod instead of your WIS mod for WILL saves. Does anyone know if there are other feats mimicking this effect for the other saving throws? Cheers. :)

    Play-by-post: Advice & Opinions wanted

    Hi all, I have a few questions about the play-by-post system for D&D. I hadn't really thought about it much in the past because I'd had no problems getting a group for a game. I still don't, except now with our newly born daughter in the house, I'm cutting down on the amount I'm going out. I...

    Help on Bard Build - It's a matter of pride, folks.

    Hi all, My character recenly died in a relatively low-level campaign, we were all 4th level. Normally, we're quite strict on bringing in new characters, making them 1st level and only 1st level, no exceptions... except this one exception. ;) My DM, in his inifinite wisdom, is letting me come...

    Random character generator?

    Hi all, Does anyone know of a true random character generator with free access? We started a low-level campaign about seven weeks ago (so seven sessions) and my character wound up very very dead. Damned ogres. I just found myself at a loss as to what to play next, I fancy the challenge of...

    Wraithstrike & Armour of Fortitude

    Hi all, Just a quicky. This came up when duelling two PCs one against the other, as is seemingly inevitable in that space between sessions. Basically, if I cast Wraithstrike (Complete Adventurer) and attack somebody with Armour of Fortitude, does the armour's ability still negate critical...

    +3 Defender - Usage

    Hi all, A relatively simple question I'm hoping, given some of the discussion had on here of late. I've just got my mits on a +3 Defender in my campaign, it's a greatsword if that's relevant. My problem is that the DMG rules on the matter or fairly vague. I understand the concept of moving...

    Character Build: Dragon Disciple

    Hi all, A friend of mine just got coup-de-graced by a Harpy (Please, no more laughing!) and we don't have the resources to raise him so it's new character time. I suggested a Dragon Disciple because they look quite novel and I've never seen one be used before. He's on the fence about it. Could...

    So we're expecting a baby...

    Hi all, My girlfriend is currently eight and a half months pregnant. The due-date is August 10th, which happily, is also my birthday. We've been told there's a very good chance (although hospitals in the UK are no longer allowed to tell people the gender with certainty) that we'll be having a...

    Targeting items with spells.

    Hi all, If I target an item with a spell, that item gets a save based on whomever is holding it. That part is easy. SILENCE: I attempt to silence your hat, you save, we're done. What about for spells with more physical/tangible effects? What springs to mind is Grease. GREASE: I attempt...

    Grease - Uses of and effectivity.

    Hi all, I'm playing an Eldritch Knight at the moment, currently a 9th level caster (Thankyou Practiced Spellcaster!) and I think I've come across the handiest damn spell after years of snubbing it. In the last three sessions I've cast Grease to: 1) Make it immensely difficult to have...

    Invisibility

    Hi all, The most concerning time of all in our group, is the time that the GM can't easily house-rule something, or if he does, when some players object. The most recent occurance of this was my use of "Improved Invisibility" last session. My figure remained on the floor plans (as it had to...
