    Polls on spell effectiveness?

    I remember seeing some polls awhile back that had a list of all of the core spells by level, and people voted on the three (?) most effective at that level. Since I'm making a Wizard right now for a new game we're playing, I'd like to take a look at those polls once again. Does anyone know...

    Do automatic hit abilities kill minions?

    My friend and I are having this argument: at my table, automatic damage powers (our warlock has a rod that lets him deal 1 damage when he curses an enemy; our DM claims that doesn't kill minions) don't kill minions. He claims this is a house rule, and I'm not sure who is right. Is this part of...

    Building a Rogue multiclassing into Ranger

    Ranger allows for a lot of shifting abilities that let you get into sneak attack position, not to mention the quarry once per day. Anyway, here's what I got. Bear in mind, our DM makes us roll for our stats, and I ended up doing pretty spectacularly. Level 3 Halfling Rogue Str: 15 Con: 13...

    What is "KotS?"

    I've heard the term used quite a bit here, but a quick google search isn't turning up anything. What is it?

    Do Wizards gain a proficiency bonus for using any implements?

    Just curious. It seems that their attack is a little low if that's not the case- but then again, they tend to attack the saves, which are a little lower typically, so maybe it evens out.

    Anyone know whereI can find copy/pastable descriptions of the skills?

    Being able to copy and paste the skill descriptions onto my character sheet for easy access would be useful- I almost always make my character sheets in word anyway. I could type out the description myself, but it would be rather tedious. Anyone know where I can find them online?

    Help me optimize my level 8 Vow of Poverty/ PEace Sorcerer

    Alright, a few house rules here: firstly, my DM has ruled that the metamagic restriction on sorcerers is stupid, and I can use metamagic spells without the full round casting time. The other is that Vow of Peace gives me +4 to all my DCs, period, but at the same time, the vow applies to every...

    What 3rd level spell should a Vow of Peace/Poverty sorcerer take?

    I'm play a sorc with 19 charisma, vow of peace and poverty (in other words, he can't deal damage). He's specialized mostly in mind-affecting spells so far, to take advantage of the increased DC. At 1st level he's got color spray, Enlarge Person, Silent Image, and Obscuring Mist. 2nd level...

    Mystic Theurge as a core class?

    I admire the attempt that wizards made with the mystic theurge, but I disliked its execution. It does nothing to allieviate the problems at low level, and it's pretty overpowered at high levels. So I want to make a core class that has both arcane and divine spellcasting right from the get-go...

    Frenzied Berserker+Exotic Weapon Master+ Barbarian= broken?

    I was just thinking how much damage the Exotic Weapon Master's Uncanny Blow can deal. X2 strength modifier is pretty huge no matter what weapon you're wielding. Consider how much strength a Half-Orc 1 Barbarian/5 Fighter/1 Exotic Weapon Master/ 3 Frenzied Berserker can have: 18 (natural) 2...

    Creating a Shifter- advice on forms?

    I'm creating a level 5 Druid/ 5 Shifter for a new campaign my DM is starting up. The class seems extremely cool, but the choices are a bit overwhleming. I have no idea which things I should shift into as of now. If anyone knows of some way to sort the monsters in the MM by HD and type, I'd...

    Help me build a psion?

    I'm planning on playing a Psion in my friend's new level 5 campaign, since I just got the expanded psionic's handbook. However, I'm pretty new to psionics, so I'm not sure which feats or powers to take. The character has to be Human. Thanks for your help.

    Does summoning a monster who proceeds to attack the enemy violate the vow of peace?

    Just curious if this does violate my vow of peace.

    Can sorcerers use metamagic rods without the full round action penalty?

    I.E, should a sorcerer take the rod of metamagic, quicken?

    Hi all!

    Hi, I'm new here, this place looks really cool. Are there any chat games going on right now? As a general rule, I don't play E-mail or Play by Post games, as I find them to be too slow natured, but I do enjoy AIM games.

    The Arcanist

    I was thinking of making a spellcaster that was sort of a mix between a Wizard and a Sorcerer. He would get Wizard's Spells per day +1. for example, a 1st level wizard gets 3 0th level spells and 1 1st level spell. A 1st level Arcanist would get 4 0th level spells and 2 1st level spells. He...

    Sculpt Spell?

    Can I use sculpt spell to change the area of a spell that usually only affects one person? I.E could I use it to cast a magic missile with a fireball-like area of effect?

    Building a Mounted Combat Fighter?

    I want to play a fighter who focuses in on mounted combat, but I don't have much experience in this area. We are level 5. What mount should I choose? What feats? Mounted Combat, Ride-By-Attack, and spirited charge are musts, but are there any other good riding feats? What about Prestige...

    Good modules to take some newbies through

    Knowing my interest in dnd, several of my fellow members of the sci-fi club have asked them to teach them d&d. This obviously means that I will be DM. However, my creative skills are very lacking, so I want to purchase a module for the first few sessions. CAn any of you suggest good low-mid...
