Number 1. I never give away any plot devices, traps, hidden things, knowledge etc. that is DM knowledge only, while assuming an NPC. Obviously. Number 2. My players have never once in all my years of DMing accused me of favoritism. Why? Because I do not play favorites. Number 3. My NPC's...

Quirky was kinda my thought as well. I have the psionics handbook (haven't read it yet.. no one seemed too interested.) No oriental sourcebooks. the party does melee fairly well. I'm thinking perhaps an illusionist, or something of the sort. maybe i'll dig through my dragon magazines and...

I DM a small group, and have a tendency to play a full-time NPC as part of the party. I do that to help beef up the party a bit, and to test out new and different things in 3E. I started out with a monk, and that was subsequently taken up by a player that joined. I then moved to a Bard. I...

I'm looking to beef up the bard a bit. I don't mean to make him in line with the other classes, or make him a melee expert, but just add to his arsenal a bit. As it is, a bard doesn't seem to have any good prestige classes (there's one in SaS), a couple of bardic songs, and bardic knowledge...

I'm re-reading on magic items and who can use them, and have a few questions. Who can use what items? page 175 in the DMG talks about using items. Spell Completion - scrolls. A wizard could use a scroll of fireballs, but a cleric could not. Correct? Spell Trigger - wand or staff. Same...

How about someone using a non enchanted bow, a +1 magical arrow, and wearing bracers of archery +2?? is it +3 to his, +1 to damage, or +2 to hit, +1 to damage? (Does the bracers cancel out the magic arrow?)

Excellent. Thank you all. Since he's starting out at 4th, it's nice to have a bit to work with. And since we've got a cleric, and a monk, i think both healing and damage are covered (not to mention to rogue and wizard), so i think i'll focus on buffing and maybe a bit of that light crossbow...

Thanks for all the information. I have to be back up anyway. I'm the DM, and the bard is going to be an NPC to tag along with the party. So, other than that, there is nothing much else to bards? just find what spells and instruments i'd like to use? no strategies? Thanks for all the...

I'm working on creating a bard. I'm rather unfamiliar with them, even from Second Edition. What are some good uses, abilities, and strategies for them? I bought Song and Silence, but that doesn't give a whole heck of a lot there. Moebius
