First thanks for the ideas. I'll be looking for places to use them. Second, the environment is the Underdark and, with the exception of the main "set pieces", most of the battles take place in tunnels. In regards to grappling spell casters, the only "casters" types we're fighting regularly...

First off, wow, that's a really great post (and that video is very funny). I definitely need to talk with my dm more than I did about what I like about the game and what's not working for me. Character concept wise, when it's "extraordinary heroes" that I'm being offered, I went here:YouTube -...

Chaotic Good The PH Multiclassing section says to discuss it with your DM. I was still under the thinking that I could tweak some things and be on track (that's looking like its not really the case) so I didn't really press it. I'm actually more interested in the rp stuff than the mechanic...

I'm starting to feel the same way about Fighters... ;) Feat wise, a lot of things seemed to make sense at the time (my will and reflex saves are really low it'd be nice to bolster them, sleeping in armor seems sensible when it takes 12 rounds to put it on and we could be attacked overnight...

In direct answer to your question about endurance, it was taken to sleep in armor. The party is attacked pretty much every time we make camp. As to a lot of your why?? questions- the answer is cause I don't know what I'm doing. I started my first table top rpg joining some friends mid-campaign...

We had a game session tonight that went well. I got to do some battle planning, which I decided I should be more emphatic about based on some bits in my original character bio. I had a brief discussion with my DM about changing some things up, and he seems pretty open as long as it can be kept...

As chronicled here: http://www.enworld.org/forum/general-rpg-discussion/295413-advice-new-player-bored-his-character.html I'm trying to make combat a little less monotonous (stab, repeat), have a bigger role to play in the party in non-combat situations, and contribute more to the group in...

I'll check, but I think we're only using the core books. Shield and short sword and I chuck a javelin if I'm not close enough to charge in. I know there are better weapons to use if I'm interested only in amount of damage done, but I like my initial concept and had decided that given his...

thanks for the quick responses. I'll definitely be talking to my dm at some point about fixes. It is the monotony of my role in combat that's getting to me most. I asked at one point about how much combat was going on, and apparently we're in the hack and slash heavy middle chapter of this...

Hi everyone, I've been lurking for a while, but decided to post looking for some advice. Hope this is in the right place (I think it is) I started playing D&D for the first time with some friends from work back in June. I really enjoy it, but am growing bored with my character (though I'm still...
