    D&D 3E/3.5 3.5 player needs help into first 4e characther

    I am lost. I am not afraid to read, but feel i could read a while before getting my bearings. I am still dazed and confused with the differences, and can't even seem to choose a class or recognize my familiar options. Since i know it's so different, i'll just try to give some fluff and...

    Can i insert images from my computer in a post?

    All i see so far is the insert image icon, and it wants a url. As far as i know a url is a web address (copy link location). Is there a way to get images saved on my computer into a post?

    Starting a 'low magic' campaign for my 10yr old and his friends. Need help

    Some of you know my story. The boy is 10, and his brother who visits is 18. Most of our players and playing will be in that age range, and most will be done in the future while they are growing towards independence (they may not play when they turn 15, or may play more but without me, etc). I...

    Going back to Factotum (skill based)

    Basically i'll be making an Int Fact. Skillmonkey, collector of artifacts, time traveler. He is from earth and has been transplanted from the 1700's (pre american revolution) and never figured out why. He was 15 when he arrived in DnD land and does not know how to build an engine or much of...

    What is the basic way(s) to max an ability?

    I know there are bonuses by class, and since i'm exampling my current Factotum build suggestions should stick to small dips. But that's not what i'm talking about. I mean what is the standard max, and how do you get there? Ability Stat + Race Stat + Level Bonus + (how many and how to get...

    Definition of Helpless and Coup de Grace

    Help me out a bit and tell me how you allow these interpretations at your table, please. A helpless character is paralyzed, held, bound, sleeping, unconscious, or otherwise completely at an opponent’s mercy. A helpless target is treated as having a Dexterity of 0 (-5 modifier). Melee attacks...

    Building a character for stand alone versatility -help please

    Well it started with a concept, and evolved into a concept. See, there are relatively few characters that i get into role playing. I don't want to be a gnome or a minotaur or a ghost. I don't want to be evil, or chaotic, or good. What rings truest, and captures my attention as far as...

    Help with class ability giving Time Stop to Fighters at 1st level

    I'll be happy to take this to another board if someone wants to point the way. I don't know my way around the boards very well. What's up is; i was at brilliantgameologist and there was a thread about fixing the fighter (making it tier 3). There seems much confluence of opinions, and some of...

    Arcane Classes with Bonus Feat dips?

    I'm just considering needing a few metamagic/arcane feats for an epic level character, and wondered if there were any easy dips i like. For the dip to be useful to me it would need to net me an extra feat in only a few levels, or pay +1 caster level. The feat/s needs to be open for me to pick.

    Is there an epic progression for Fochlucan Lyrist?

    Seems like i saw one once, but now i can't find it. How would that go? I'm not real familiar with Epic Levels, though i did just reread the DMG. Most of it's fairly clear? but i don't know what feat progression to give FL. Or is it best to just progress wizard or a base class?

    I'm working on a dual caster and wonder if it's a useful feat. Type: Metamagic Source: Dragon #325 You can prepare any of your spells as either divine or arcane. Prerequisite: Ability to cast both divine and arcane spells. Benefit: You can choose to prepare any of your divine spells as arcane...

    Can a cleric with spontaneous heal take the destruction domain?

    I can't seem to find pertinent wording that says otherwise. If so, then could Domain Spontanaity Feat and Custom Domain Feat be used to convert a neutral 'healer' into a "Harm" machine gun? Suggestions for replacements (though i like these, earthquake seems extreme)? Must be evocations that...

    Tweak a rogue fighter factotum? Need martial feat help

    I was asked to play a martial character in a 5 PC campaign 3.5, and really sorta don't play martial characters. I'm usually a skill monkey, and can barely talk myself into starting a character without a rogue dip. So i'm thinkin' rogue, thinkin' martial, thinkin' martial rogue. Base class...

    Ways to hide things in 3.5?

    Is it just me? or is it damn hard to hide things in DnD? K, the easiest way i know to hide things is to not have anybody looking for them. That's tricky enough, but what other ways? I feel y'all will know better than me, so i won't even bother trying, until i see if one of y'all has a link to...

    Still working on this Fochlucan Lyrist build

    This is about my third try at this. Please comment on anything and everything. The goal here is for me to have fun building a character I will probably never get to play, but I’ve always wanted to. This is nearly my all time favorite character concept; an adventurer who could go alone many...

    Can variants be stacked? (thanks for your patience)

    Can variants within the same class be stacked if they are not inherently conflicting? Example: Can a specialist diviner variant posses both PRESCIENCE and ENHANCED AWARENESS? Specialist Wizard Variants :: d20srd.org I have been really studying a lot of 3.5 recently, and am having fun...

    Wizard specialist/variants and prestige classes?

    I am constructing a Mystic Theurge (for instance). It says "no other benefits of the class". Does the MT advance as a Specialist/Variant? Would he get an extra spell per level? would she get a plus one to all domain spells? Would prescience use advance at 1 per 5 levels? thanks

    Whats that bard variant or feat that allows Intelligence bonus to skill checks?

    I read it today, and though i am trying to cut and paste my notes i lost it. I have about 10 books open in front of me and i'm going 'blind'. It goes something like this. ' can add intelligence modifier to all skills, saves, and attacks'. I gotta have it, as this character has nothing but...
