The idea of fantasy/magic-using and spacefaring technological civilizations meeting is something I've been a huge fan of ever since I played Star Ocean 2 on the Playstation

NWN2 might be the better comparison as both D:OS2 and NWN2 were written by Chris Avellone

Hey Everyone, Unfortunately, a couple of players in my game had to leave and I'm looking for 1-2 new ones for a Zeitgeist campaign. We have 3 players currently and are located in Plantation, FL. Looking for laid-back players who enjoy a good gaming time with madcap adventures. Send me a PM if...

Any true Petrolhead needs to see the Communist cars comparison from Season 9 (I think). That one is still a true classic in my head. Both of the amphibious car challenges are truly pieces of excellence as well. And the journey across the Middle East was legendary. Hell, any of their journeys...

Hey everyone, Me and a couple of friends are looking to start a new 4th edition campaign starting at level 3 somewhere around Davie-Plantation (location TBD). The setting is a Magepunk (Eberron-like) Lovecraftian Wild-West type place. If anyone is interested in finding a game, we're looking...

Hi everyone, I'm hoping you can help out a new DM. I'm about to start a WotBS campaign with the $1 PDFs I bought from RPGNow and it looks like this will be the most epic campaign I've ever been a part of. It'll definitely blow Scales of War off the map. However, I am having some difficulties...

I saw a cool Wizard|Invoker build that I think can do well with it. Pick up Seal of the Heretic (invoker lvl 13), Orb of heightened Imposition (to use on Seal of the Heretic.) This makes Orb of Fickle Fate work very well, as enemies take the Save penalty from the Orb and Seal of the Heretic...

If you're using a Bastard Sword or Fullblade, Githzerai Blade Master is even better since it gives you a scaling damage bonus +2/3/4. DWT is a great feat, but not out of line when it comes to other great D&D feats

I'm gonna watch this series just for Graham Linehan. The IT Crowd and Father Ted are hilarious shows, and if his humor in life matches his writing, it'll be an excellent season. He also made the best D&D related episode of any TV show I have ever seen (Top 1 of 1!) Check out "Jen The Fredo"...

Other decent striker Paragon Paths: Simbarch of Aglarond: NeedsWizard Multiclass, FRPG. You'll want to switch to a fullblade and take Arcane Implement proficiency:Heavy Blade to really get good usage off its striker feature. Salves of Power can also help recharge the feature so you can use it...

The one thing I don't understand is the need for hybriding to Paladin. It looks like you want a pure striker, since you haven't taken any of the feats that enhance your divine challenge, though you have taken a more defendery PP in Ancestral Weapon. There's actually a nice one for half-orcs only...

Unless you get some kind of bonuses with sneak attack in addition to the dice, Bloodiron is always equal or better to the Wraithblade (equal at lvl 21 with +4 enhancements on both, Bloodiron is better at all other times)

I'd go with a character who can do things from range (unless the dodger has the right set of powers & items to attack from range) and has wisdom (for perception/insight checks, backgrounds help too.) To me, that leaves laser cleric, prescient bard (who I don't care for) and possibly Battle...

Blackdirge is one of the best scenario writers, so any of the Chaos Scar stuff by him should great. I imagine the other Chaos Scar adventures might be pretty good too, but I can't speak about it in the same manner. Check it out, get a feel for it as a DM, see if it works for you.

There's a feat called Starfire Womb in Dragon #366 which allows you to roll a saving throw when you hit with a radiant power, which clerics have tons of IIRC. Depending on the race, there could be some good racial stuff there too. There are also a good set of powers where riders don't really...
