Well one thing's for sure, I'm definitely feat-starved already. ;) Still trying to get a grip on how this character would interact in combat. I'd like to pick up a whip and do ranged trips but man that's a lot of feats I need to do that ... I'm going to take a look at Complete Adv and Tome of...

Nod, I saw that. I'm wondering if taking Font of Inspiration is better than taking Nymph's Kiss -- though I guess a better comparison is "Nymph's Kiss at 1" vs. whatever I would take after I'm outta FoI slots. Anyone have feat suggestions for Factotums besides those mentioned?

Ah! I was just rereading Factotum and realized that you get your inspiration points *at the beginning of each encounter*. I was thinking it was per day! This makes an enormous difference, since it means I've basically got +level to skill almost whenever I want !! Ah, so that's the crux of...

Thanks for all the suggestions. Two levels of warlock really does look exciting from the point of view of climb + Leaps and Bounds -- I wonder if I can convince my DM to allow the Factotum to use invocations rather than sorc/wiz spells. I'm thinking probably not without some major thematic...

Wow, that sounds awesome but unfortunately does not fit with the character concept (from what I know of warlocks) :( I am thinking that I would use the following skills (ni alphabetical order) on a regular basis: 1. Balance 2. Bluff 3. Climb 4. Decipher Script 5. Disable Device 6. Gather...

I've got Complete Scoundrel and my curiosity is definitely piqued by Skill Tricks but I'm not sure my DM will allow them yet. I think there's a valid argument against it that the skill tricks should either be feats *or* be just an application of a skill with a particularly high DC. But yeah, I...

Hello, I am also building a skill-monkey (as in another thread here) and followed that with great interest. I've decided to use the Human Rogue w/ int 16 and Nymph's Kiss in order to get 13 skill pts/level. My DM has also agreed to allow the use of Knowledge as a class skill without the use...

Hi guys, Thanks for the awesome ideas. It's spawning a whole bunch of associated ideas. I think I can pull this off. As for world, I am going to use the "Morrowind" province from the Elder Scrolls III : Morrowind video game. Small province with only 6 or so countries, removed from anything...

Hi, Thanks for the reply. A dungeon crawl is exactly what I'm trying to avoid, actually. What I'm trying to do is build a bunch of 12 rooms or less areas, each of them interesting and strongly story-based, and each with very interesting or unique features. One question would be, for...

Hi everyone, I am starting up a new campaign and I'm really happy to say that I'm back! I haven't played now in over a year and a bit. I had two groups -- one of which fell apart due to time issues, and the other which fell apart since the storyline was a little too complicated. Also, half...

re: Connor I think Hand of Evil makes a good point - Connor takes the happiness path, which will Wesley take? BUT I thought that it was deliberately vague writing - it amounts to a guess: Did Connor get his memory back or not? - there's no real evidence. Take into account the magical barrier...

How can you talk about bad Star Wars names and not mention Porkins? Remember him, the fat X-Wing pilot? Porkins, get it? ha. :p

while that's true ... .

And also ... <-- More Buffy S7 ref

Hi all, Thanks -- a lot of these things really help! One of the sorcerers focuses only on Transmutation spells, so she's a good "buff" sorcerer. I'll relay along some of these buffer zone ideas, as well as guerilla tactics, summoning, and flanking. I have index cards for the animals, that...
