    Warmage versus Duskblade

    Having played a Barbarian / Duskblade / Rage Mage through level 9 now I would very much recommend him for melee combat, but only to a certain extent. You won't take out a real melee opponent of the same level toe to toe. But you will be able to succeed if you use your mobility and are smart...

    Character Build: Dragon Disciple

    We're talking about a tank. Tanks don't get good will saves, that's the compromise. But HP's are a concern. You will start off way behind, but with the heightened Con you'll mostly catch up in 5 levels. Here's a break down- Rolled Abilities - Adjusted Str 18 - 26 (+8) Dex 13 - 13 (+1) Con 18 -...

    Character Build: Dragon Disciple

    Absolutely. But as a tank, why wait 11 levels, when you could be immune to <element>, breathing <element>, and have a likely +10 to hit /+12 damage (before any magic add-ons) at ECL 5? ~Rav

    Character Build: Dragon Disciple

    Tank you say? Forget the DD and go Half-Dragon/Barb, Fighter, or Ranger. It's Core (MM) and WAY better in a fight with the increased STR and CON. Other bonuses, NAT Armor +4... jeez +4!!!... and a breath weapon that can actually come in handy on occasion. House rule bonus ideas- Since there...

    D&D 3E/3.5 3.5 Druids - what to do about them?

    The Summon choices are made fairly quickly (by unspoken house rule all combat choices are quick), she was in the Dire section and the boars had more HP than the Wolves, against the monster at the time I guess that made more sense to her. Now that I look at the stats on the Brown Bear I'll be...

    D&D 3E/3.5 3.5 Druids - what to do about them?

    IME (playing in a party with a 13th level Druid) the druid does indeed get a chance to really shine in at least one combat encounter a day. The last one by combining summon+animal growth for 3 Huge Dire Boars... that's a lot of goring. However, that's a tough trick to get off in most...

    RPGui - Feature Requests

    The Character sheet records is a tough one, especially if you want it to be dynamic to keep track of HP, etc... However, for the 1.0 version, maybe just a file sharing system so that the players could send their character stats to everyone (or just the DM) if they so choose. This would also be...

    New Suggested Spells: Summon Alternate...

    Except the Current one of course :) S/He gets to play the party cohort for the duration of the spell.

    New Suggested Spells: Summon Alternate...

    sorry, you're right. That's what I get for having too many windows open at once.... can I get it moved?

    New Suggested Spells: Summon Alternate...

    As a bunch of long-time players, our group is often frustrated when we realize that we have everything we need to easily beat the current Baddie our DM has thrown at us. That is, we used to... in our previous characters. ARRRGH!!! So we suggest this spell to the community and hope that it will...

    Barbarian Feat Progression and a question

    Thanks, I'll see if anyone else in my group is getting Eberron. Or I might have it before I can grab the feat anyway. Historically there are always three or four encounters before we get a chance to rest. Definately a damage dealer, as much as I can get. Weapon will be a great axe. Though I was...

    Barbarian Feat Progression and a question

    I'm looking for some ideas for feat progression for a half-dragon Barbarian... besides the PHB I've got Savage Species, Oriental Adventures, and Complete Warrior at my disposal. So far I'm looking at this kind of flow.. . Power Attack (PHB) Extra Rage (CW) Instantaneous Rage (CW) Roll with it...

    Season long antagonists ala Buffy - original source?

    Well, I first thought of the Cyclons(sp) in Battlestar. They are continual "Bad Guys", but like G.I.Joe, I don't think I'd count them in this light. One good example would be Profiler. The show had episodic antagonists, but Jack was a continuing Archnemesis. Joss has admitted his writing was...
