    Shadowcaster fixes by Mouseferatu

    OK, this is really old thread res, and I'm sorry for that, but I thought it the best place to question this. I'm playing a Shadowcaster using Ari's Modified version (post 2 this thread), and I was wondering if the following was intentional: Rule 3) allows one to jump around in order w/o...

    Looking for gaming group or club

    I'm in the Gainesville Area, and am trying to get either a SW:Saga or a 3.5 game together. If you are willing to travel, that's 3 players... we're kind of waiting for more, though. Here's the main discussion on it: http://forums.gleemax.com/showthread.php?t=970044

    14 year old girl wants to join my game

    I'm reminded of the LARP'rs from Reno 911... I don't see a problem at all: its a social game, and unless you do the "ok, the [NPC] tells you something away from the party... I need to talk to you in the other room," then you'll never have any problems. Plus, you guys are Australians? Like she...

    Dragon Shaman: does anyone have any in-game experience playing one?

    I was just curious what they played out as, in general, as a straight single class character. I've never seen one played, and I know they are considered weak compared to Dragonfire Adepts: I'm not looking for any DFA advice, really, thanks though. Your input is appreciated!

    Shape Soulmeld question

    OK, so I've asked this in two other forums, but its timely to my character: The Question: If a meldshaper (Incarnate, Totemist, Soulborn) were to take the Shape Soulmeld feat, would this soulmeld count against their daily limit by virtue of their class? My interpretation: I'd think no, that...

    Have you ever seen a wizard not maxed out?

    My first 3.5 character, a Rogue, took a single level of Wizard so he could UMD magic missile wands against undead. Thats hardly the kind of thing you were asking about, though. I've seen a Wizard with a 15 Int, but char gen was using the Elite array, so that was as high as it got. If you are...

    Taking 20 Too Often

    Another note on Aid Another: unless those characters can hit the search DC themselves, they can't aid to any effect. If the search DC > 20, only the Trapfinders can aid (usually, this means no Aid Another for the Rogue, unless the party has a Beguiler or Artificer). Also, (I think this was...

    Factotum from Dungeonscape

    Notice that it never says they lose their inspiration points after the encounter. Hoarding could work. Even then, the class is just so-so. It looks like another dipping class to me.

    Eberron...is it worth picking -up?

    Action Points: Awesome. My character can actually be heroic, even in a low-powered game. Setting: Awesome. Finally removing "all x (x=goblin, kobold, orc, etc) are evil" makes for a more realistic and interesting game. Artificer & Warforged: A bit too powerful, imo. Reasons are numerous...

    Which is the best drawing program for generating maps?

    thanks, everyone! this gives me a lot to look over; i'll check out that other thread. I'm mainly looking for dungeon quality maps, that i can print out and use on the table. It just adds so much more depth. For large cities and the campaign world, I don't mind scanning handdrawn maps, as...

    Which is the best drawing program for generating maps?

    I haven't had too much (well, any) experience w/ Photoshop (nor do I have access on my home computer, anyways), and I'm guessing there's some shareware out there that I could use for making maps and such. Anyone have any links? I'm looking for ease of use, primarily. Thanks in advance!

    How old is the Far Realm?

    To answer the OP's questions, one way is to play a Binder until you can bind 3 vestiges, then bind Karsus and Ipos and Dahlver-Nar, set Planar Attenuation to the Far Realm, and use a custom Staff of Plane Shift with Karsus to go there. You'll be immune to the crazies from Dahlver-Nar, even if...

    re-rolling 1's

    Most of my current games are point buy. Back in AD&D, my group used to allow rerolls of 1s and 2s for HP up to 3rd level, then you got what the dice laid out. I've never heard of rerolling 1s for attributes, until now.

    How many of you came close to selling off your stuff?

    Same here, except it was detrimental to college. I didn't realize how bad it was until I transfered to a school that had no real players, and watched my grades go from D's and C's to A's and just a few B's.

    Binder, non-melee character, any suggestions?

    We're playing an "Any Class or Race Outside the PHB" game, and I want to make a Binder cohort to accompany my Dread Necromancer (now at 12th). We currently have a melee'r-damage junkie (currently a Goliath Mineral Warrior Duskblade 11/Warblade 1 w/ Leap Attack, the usual nonsense), a favored...
