That's fairly close by where my next base will be in Panama City. I leave Japan in January but probably won't get settled into Florida until around the end of March-April 08 or thereabouts, so if you're still looking for more folks in the long term then I might be interested.

Draconic template gives a +2 Str, +2 Con, +2 Cha bonus, +1 LA (one of the better +1 LA templates) Fire-Souled template (from Dragon magazine) gives a +4 Cha and the Leadership feat (I believe that one is a +3 LA).

Moon Blade; man, if you thought Wraith Strike was bad, this spell makes WS look downright tame by comparison. The only saving grace was that SR still applied. As it stands, MB blows Brilliant Energy weapons out of the water by being melee touch attacks (negating natural armor bonuses to AC), and...

True, but I also recall that there was a feat called Extraordinary Concentration in Complete Adventurer (I believe) that allowed one to maintain concentration of a spell as a move action provided that you pass a set Concentrate DC (not too hard at the mid-high levels with maxed out ranks and...

The things that bug me about the TK spell is the relatively low weight limitations (a max of 375 pounds at level 15? that's it? how does a caster hope to affect larger creatures with this, or even 2 fully grown medium-sized targets with this spell? pretty weak) and the violent thrust manuever (a...

I was also wondering how Extra Spell works in regards to the Sublime Chord PrC and its odd spell progression. If such a character wanted to take the feat and learn a 3rd level sorcerer/wizard spell (at say, level 12 when he receives a feat), could he? Sublime Chords start off knowing 4th level...

Also wanted to point out that the anti-impact property only halves damage from falling, constriction, or crushing attacks/effects, not from blunt/bludgeoning weapons. Aside from that correction, wanted to say thanks for the write up! It's very informative as I rather like the hexblade class...

There's always the Item Familiar variant rules in Unearthed Arcana, though you'd need to start with an existing magic item (it doesn't have to be a weapon) of at least 2,000 gp value and requires a feat to be taken (minimum character level 3).

A few more questions that have come up concerning the sunblade. The DMG describes all sunblades as always being of good alignment. Does this mean that all sunblades are treated as good aligned for the purpose of bypassing DR/good? I would say yes as it would make sense to me given the weapon's...

I ran a more horror-themed campaign once a few years back. Basically, the PCs were various rag-tag characters in a growing city originally founded by ancient cultists whose memory was lost long ago, and much of the PCs gathering together in the first few sessions involved the local teamsters and...

Nice choices. Aside from the LotR movies, 13th Warrior, Conan, Braveheart, Willow, and Gladiator, a few choice pieces from Star Wars (the Vader death theme is appropriately sad), anime and video games have a few good ones too. Record of Lodoss War was mentioned as was the various Final Fantasy...

I'd go with Anime Kidd's suggestion. I'd say the majority of the characters in NS were high level and maybe with epic-levels thrown in (being able to spontaneously regenerate seems appropriate for it). You could just say that Tessai's sword was a unique weapon with multiple or a more powerful...

Combining Dervish with say, Scout, Unfettered, Monk, and/or Tempest can get pretty sick, especially with feats like Combat Expertise, Spring Attack, and Whirlwind Attack, plus using gestalt rules (which is the case in my game). It's a powerful build, sure, but it has its weaknesses too. The...

I don't exactly hate any one setting, though some have elements or ideas that don't really appeal to me as a DM nor as a player. Ravenloft comes to mind. The occasional horror themed adventure is one thing, but basing an entire setting around that becomes pretty oppressive as far as themes go. I...

I'll bite. 1. Presently, none. But back during my campaign's hey day, we had several. Over 150+ sessions, I'd say I had 7 female players (it's been a while, things haven't been the same since I joined the military so my memory is a bit fuzzy). M ex-girlfriend and her aunt (incidentally she's...

I'm currently playing a non-psionic Jedi-esque character. Level 12, gestalt rules: Bard 10 / Sublime Chord 2 + Hexblade 4 / Occult Slayer 5 / Swashbuckler 3, human (maenad - I explain her subrace as a hybrid of two human cultures with a dash of Dunedain a la Aragorn from LotR for her longer...

I'd ditch the alignment restriction for bards too. I say not all bards have to be wanderlusting snakeoil salesmen and pansy musicians or singers. If you think about it, bards actually make half decent Jedi-esque characters if you tweak them just right (and Jedi being fairly lawful in their...

I'm rather ambivalent about adding new core classes. A few are decent, but some seem underpowered in the long run. The Scout, for example, is a very good core class, almost too good. Just when Wizards has fixed the Ranger to the point where one can conceivably play one straight for 20 levels...

All of civilization basically boils down to an endless, ever escalating arms race to impress the opposite sex. True back then as it is now. :)
