Here's the thing What is good for the goose is good for the gander..... meaning if PC's can use them so can the BBEG as long as its available to both sides can anything really be broken?

Ok at first level a Crusader knows 5 maneuvers and 1 stance. It is my understanding that the crusader must choose a discipline to follow either Devoted Spirit, Stone Dragon, or White Raven. Is this correct? If so there are less than 5 maneuvers for each of the disciplines at first level...

Todd is that you? lol Just kidding. You sound just like my friend though. We can agree to disagree. I really don't try to tell the story I want, so much as try and reward the players for acting like heroes. I kill players for stupidity (not so much now they are smarter). I think the rogue...

While this particular instance proved to be suspenseful it is a rare occurrance that such is created by the dice falling where they may. You do several good things that add to the suspense, like having the players roll for the time for reinforcements to arrive. Ie anything where they are...

I have never played anything out of ToB and am looking over the crusader class. I have a question regarding some strikes. Do the strikes that have the range melee attack like Crusader's Strike still deal damage to the enemy or does that get replaced by the effect of the strike? For example I...

This game was set in Lhankmar(sp) a low magic game. Most of the abuse came from the arms and equipment guide. the chain pieces of armor added to light armor each granting a +1 to ac effectively giving leather an ac 8 and remaining light armor. (Broken IMO) plus I don't have the arms and equip...

I need help dealing with players who always want to include exotic material from sources that I do not necessarily have access to. I have told them anything not in the core rules needs to be approved by me in advance. Then they show up with :):):):) on their charactersheet that I have never...

Thanks for the input, I left the story vague on purpose to see what kind of ideas I got from other posters. I had thought to lead the PC's to the story thru a will. The acolyte is a long dead distant relative who left something to one of the PC's. The item is a journal old and faded...

Just an idea I had, for an adventure feel free to comment on it or ridicule it as deemed necessary. Long ago an empire was crumbling and an old priest in a small temple saw the need to save his god's artifact from those who might destroy it. He instructed his acolyte to seal him deep within the...

I realize there are other ways to get the feat in question but that was not what I had asked. The Rogue/Sorcerer combination is not negotiable. What I wanted opinions on was how much is improved feint worth? Is it worth waiting until 9th level and miss out on 3 levels of the PrC Thrall of...

I am building a rogue/sor for an evil campaign with the PrC Thrall of Malconthet as a Goal by 6th. I am short one feat to qualify If I take Combat reflexes, Weapon Finesse, Thrall of Malconthet, Spell focus enchantment. This keeps me from gaining improved feint until 9th. So the question is do...

Core Only? Core only is fine by me when I am running a game but my playeres despise it. As a player I also enjoy having different abilities/classes available to give my PC some extra flavor outside the same CORE Rules.

Question about the 86 AC I didn't think a natural armor bonus from a creature(trog above) would stack with a natural armor bonus from an amulet(Natural armor Enhancement bonus +5) I assumed this was from an amulet of nat armor +5. please explain.

Where would I find the Cloistered Cleric Class? MY library is limited .

Thanks for the link that has been very helpful. I am leaning towards Knight Cleric but have heard crusader is better or even Marshall. Id like to be a big damage dealer in melee and a buff/healer secondarily. Any and all advice welcome.
