    Using a buckler

    KaeYoss wrote: Unless you know Maitre Du Donjon, you make an assumption that he's not a very good roleplayer asking a question about the rules. You don't know the circumstances. The concept of roleplaying is not related to, what I agree with, is a loophole. It is possible to be a...

    trouble with the kobold hoard

    It sounds like it's going to be very important to have a good map. If I was running the horde scenario I the grand total of kobolds would be unimportant. I'd only really be concerned about the number that would face the PC's. NPC monsters vs NPC townsfolk, I'd just let part of the conflict be...

    How does everyone find games?

    I started a Yahoo!Group for gamers in my area. In less than a month, my group has 24 members. Even in a metro area, which mine is not, that's a fair amount of people. I made flyers for the local independant comic book shop. I also post my profile on as many "gamers seeking gamers" databases...

    Combat Rogue... ideas

    The rogue is often up on the front line delivering a flanking sneak attack. Our group's rogue PC originally started out Dex-heavy, Str-light and was going to be the PC in the back using missle fire as combat support. This hasn't worked out so well. Often the rogue is up in front acting as the...

    Mounts and mounted combat

    So if shooting your arrows at the halfway causes problem like being out of range, what solution do you propose? In my games, I want to do more roleplaying and less table-consulting and mathematical computations. That's why just being quick and streamlined with the "fire at 1/2 distance" works...

    Mounts and mounted combat

    Aithne started this thread and said: In regards to the last question asked about the mount's attack, kreynolds, the monster poster, replied with: Is this an acronym for "Not as far as I know"? I'm confused. :confused: Why can't the mount make a single move and then make a single primary...

    Spell Focus and Scribe Scroll

    Hypersmurf wrote: I'm not so sure about that. If it was in a game where I was the DM, I would interpret it differently. A 1st level spell tricked out with Metamagic feats is no longer a 1st level spell no matter which way you look at it. The example above is using a 9th level spell slot, so...

    Big thanks to haiiro for taking the time to summarize the list of everyone's favorites! :D

    What is your favorite prestige class? (Added results so far)

    My favorite Prestige Class is the Blood Mage from Spells and Magic by Bastion Press. WotC's Blood Magus from Tome and Blood is similar but I'm a little partial. It's nice to have two good choices, you can't go wrong. I think I like Blood Mage from Bastion Press better because it's not overly...

    Half Mountain Orc / Half Moon Elf - A custom player race for Forgotten Realms

    One of my favorite characters was a half-orc. I was twice rended and killed by a troll. It was the left arm that popped off first for those that would wonder about stuff like that. :) Anyways, my PC's backstory was that both his parents were half-orcs. I guess I wasn't playing right since...

    how to make spartan type warriors?

    I recently went looking for feats that would give our group of characters benefits in combat due to coordination. I found all kinds of feats, some quite similar. Kingdoms of Kalamar, Quintessential Cleric, Oriental Adventures, Rokugan sourcebook, AEG's Mercenaries, Legend and Lair's Path of...

    (OT) So what is there to do in Montreal?

    Catch a baseball game. The Expos won't be in Montreal much longer. That, and someone needs to go to those games... It's what I would do if I was in Montreal. I've never been, but I've been told by multiple people, multiple times, that it's a great place.

    What happens to a familiar when its master perishes?

    AEG's Mercenaries book has designed a race that answers that very question.

    Has anybody's SVGames order shipped yet?

    I too had placed an order for Chainmail mini's and was starting to wonder if I'd ever see the stuff I paid for. I placed my order about a month ago and haven't seen or heard anything. Much thanks goes out to those that have posted to this thread before me. Sometimes I really am in love with...

    Fighter feat progression...

    I'm a fighter with a reach weapon and Combat Reflexes. At 4th level, I took the Improved Unarmed Attack Feat. I kept having opponents step to me and they'd be safe from my AoO's. It was really pissin' me off. I also got the Path of the Sword book for my birthday. It's one of the Legends...

    Partial charge vs. Standard Action charge

    Ranger REG writes: There are other times when you can use a partial action. Your list is correct, but also incomplete. We could add to the list with: (3) affected by Haste which allows a for an extra partial action, (4) affected by Slow, or, (5) in the Surprise round. Listing times that...
