    Which ability score can you not live without?

    Interesting. The two most high-powered core class archetypes in 3.5 D&D are Cleric and Druid ... yet WIS is the least-popular stat in the survey. Perhaps powergamers truly are on the descent ...

    Psychic Warrior vs. Fighter

    While I have not posted much on the EnWorld boards, I have on the WotC Character Optimization boards, where am I a consistent regular and multi-year contributor to the C.O. Forum (used to be called the Min/Max Boards). I highly recommend those of you who are ardent supporters of the Fighter-20...

    Gamer Grrls

    Chaos Kitten, If you love the game and you're a patient person, the right group will find its way to you ... and the game will one day be absolutely magnificent to you. As a Chick Gamer, it took me 3 years of playing to find the group with the right social chemistry. And I actually found 2...

    Is a hammer of Moradin balanced?

    I have to say, I am somewhat shocked by what I am reading from everyone. At mid-to-high levels, the class abilities of the HoM PrC are a nice addition to a martial-based character, but they are *far* from being over-powered. Especially if you are in an adventuring group of top-tier character...

    Sniktch's Story Hour - City of the Spider Queen (Updated 04/25)

    Sniktch, Welcome back! Your Story Hour for CotSQ was one of my all-time favorites. So I was heartened to see you've revived the thread! Will we soon be able to see stat blocks for the revised/existing characters ... and for the new ones (Lassivarius & Raak)? Higreld Pel is still my favorite...

    Running Dwarves

    For added humor *and* efficacy, take the Rokugan Ninja core class as a Dwarf. At level 8, you get your CON Mod. added to your Move rate in 5' increments. Meaning your 18 CON would give you +20' added to your base Move rate (due to +4 Mod.). Now, since a Dwarf has a ton of CON, his movement...

    Are the Summon Monster Tables set in stone?

    Try this correllation for matching up legal extraplanar or elemental creatures to their corresponding SM/SNA spell: SM/SNA Spell >>> CR ================ 1 > Less Than 1 2 > 1 3 > 2 4 > 3 5 > 4-5 6 > 6-7 7 > 8-9 8 > 10-11 9 > 12-13 Elementals get favorable treatment on the SNA list, with a 1...

    Mongoose - Throw a bigger bone on Quint Series...

    Thank you, Mongoose Matt! Now you have me intrigued. I can't wait to see the book! And from what I can see, Mongoose will be the 1st D20 book **solely** dedicated to addressing the Ranger debate. Neat!

    Mongoose - Throw a bigger bone on Quint Series...

    Hi Mongoose Matt .... With all the controversy surrounding WOTC's interpretation of the 3E Ranger (i.e. the heavy frontloaded-ness, the dubious effectiveness of 2 Weapon Fighting), will the Quintessential Ranger be looking to optimize WOTC's exiting Ranger (via exclusive PrC's) or will their be...
