    Please clarify the epic class rules for me

    I'm confused about character levels and class levels and epic levels. Say I'm a Fighter 10 / Wizard 10. When I go up a level can I choose to go to Fighter 11 and get the benefits that a Fighter 11 would get? Or do I get an "epic" fighter level which confers some slightly different benefit? I...

    How do you cope with only 4 characters in a party?

    When I was a lad and we played D&D, we usually had a party of 6 - two front row fighters, a cleric, a rogue, a wizard, and some sort of wacko like a monk or a bard or something - mostly there for the ride because they weren't very useful. I'm amazed that adventures are being sold these days for...

    DM Preparation

    I'm a DM who's relatively new to 3.5e. When I was a teen I had the PHB, DMG and MM basically memorised, but I don't have the time nor remaining brain cells these days. So when I prepare for an adventure I build a spreadsheet for all monsters in the dungeon with hp, AC, Init, ATK, dmg, Will...

    Which prestige classes do you use?

    I'm a DM new to 3.5e, so prestige classes are sort of new to me. I first encountered them in Neverwinter Nights where my Arcane Archer rocked... but nevertheless I don't see the need for so many. It seems every source book has 3 or more prestige classes, most of which just seem totally...

    Complex underpowered magic items in Magic Item Compendium

    I bought the Magic Item Compendium on Saturday and I'm busily reading through it. There are some very interesting ideas, but there are a vast number of items I'd never use because: 1. their powers are too restrictive 2. they have too many powers 3. they're recommended for levels that wouldn't...
