So I have this mad scientist/gnome wizard as an NPC in my campaign, and one of the PCs bought a set of fullplate armor from him that he'd been modifying to run as a clockwork automaton. I showed the group a picture of the Mark 1 suit from Iron man as a visual aid. Well, a little while later, I...

Recently a situation came up in our game, and it seemed a little odd to me. We were in a 30 ft wide, 30 ft tall corridor. Stone golems were approaching, the druid cast reverse gravity, capturing 3 of them in the effect. The stone golems were huge. According to the MM, they are 18 ft tall. The...

Simply put, how would you expand Racial Paragon beyond 3rd level? Would you go another 3 levels max, or would you go to 9 or 10? Adding spell level progression in the same vein as the first 3 levels seems obvious. BAB, saves and Hit Die should remain consistent as well. But what about the...

I'm talking about Affiliations from PHBII. Has anyone used them, and to what effect? Have you used the ones straight out of the book? Have you made up your own? Have you adjusted the mechanic at all? Made house rules? The more info you can give me the better. Also, I'm interested in putting...

A situation just came up in our game, where we will probably be selling some loot found in a dungeon crawl to some NPC adventurers. I asked our DM if, since we would be selling these items to an NPC equivalent of us, would they be paying full price? He said no, half price. Now, I'm not trying...

So we just went up to 17th level last session, and I asked my DM if it was alright to take one of the 2 feats I'll get at 18 this level instead, to spread the power increase. My character is a Barbarian 5/Earth Elemental Paragon 3/Fighter 9. He is half elf, half earth elemental, which results...

Simple and to the point, does an item familiar have an affect on a character's wealth? I'd imagine the original item's value would count, but sapience, senses and communication would not. However, I'm not sure if special abilities would. I could see the Lesser and Greater Power prerequisite...

So last gaming session I had the pleasure of doling out a ridiculous amount of damage with my melee optimized character. He's a barbarian 5/half-elemental paragon 3/fighter 7, swings a big axe, and thats pretty much the gist of it. Since I don't have alot of experience playing D&D, let alone at...

So, is the Base Attack Bonus the only thing that modifies the attack of the sword? What about Weapon Focus, Strength, Weapon Specialization? Does it have iterative attacks, or does it attack only once per round? How has your experience with dancing weapons been? My character just got one, and...

At 15th level my DM suggested I take Leadership as my feat. I chose a wizard/loremaster as my cohort, and together we developed a backstory that pretty much designed her as an artificer. She doesn't adventure with my group, but does cast extended spells before we set out, and works on creating...

Now, I'm guessing since I can't find it anywhere that they don't, but do familiars gain skill points as they advance? This states that the familiar can have ranks in a skill, though I've seen no actual circumstance where that is the case. Seeing as how familiars are intelligent and are...

Getting some ideas from the PHBII feats, I put together a feat I'd like to use for a fighter/barbarian in a campaign I'll be picking up again soon. I like the idea of Tactical feats, it seems there are alot of combat manuevers that should be available but aren't, and each alone would be a waste...

I've been running a Psionics game, and last session, we came across two rules questions: 1. Can a soulknife manifest a mindblade when his power point reservoir is empty? 2. Can a character hold a psionic focus when his power point reservoir is empty? I've looked, but could not find an answer...

I've been running a Psionics game, and though all of us (DM and players) are fairly new to psionics, its been going well. We've been having a bit of a conflict over the telepathic abilities of a psicrystal. We have a 5th level Psion who was going to use his psicrystal to telepathically...

I'm playing a Barbarian/Fighter in a group thats woefully short of charm. As such, my intimidate skill has been one of our few tools in dealing with people. Though I've spent alot of points in the skill, I'm getting a bit annoyed with my hesitation to use it in combat. Demoralize taking a...

The same character in my How much ore... thread is thinking about making a few bits of armor. I had taken ranks in Profession: Smith to give my character a little synergy boost to his stonecunning and understanding of metals and such, and now I'm thinking I might him to craft a few items using...

... if a half elemental could mine ore? I'm playing in a campaign set in Najoban, which is an Africa flavored setting. The DM has mandated that the only PC race is Wakyambi (African Elf) but has allowed for half breeds with local orisha (magical humanoids of varying characteristics). Hence my...

In a friend’s campaign I’m playing a dwarf-like Barbarian/Fighter, and having some real fun with him. He’s got all the good stand-by’s for feats, Weapon Focus/Spec: Greataxe, Power Attack, Blindfight, Cleave… but in going for the raging fury of damage and destruction I envision him, I’ve got all...
