Yeah, probably. Same with like a million other questions, I'm sure. But, I really needed to get a conversation going on this topic I could point my fellow group (most of whom don't come to ENWorld) and point and say 'See? People with experience say this and that. Let's take a look at what they...

Yeah, style is where it is at. Though, my heart would soar had there been, in some printed source, a PrC that was, like, some spear-fighter or something. ;)

Yeah, that really does suck. It puts a hamper on my desire to go with it, honestly. I mean, making a stylistic choice is one thing, but having not many options /because/ you made that choice... ugh. But, say I did go with the spear. Run with me for a second. Any suggestions for a build for a...

So, I got my hands on my PHB... a spear (not long- or short-) is just like a normal weapon. That's mostly what I was worried about, in my initial question. Hehe. So, is the spear, just the normal one without reach, at all good to use for a melee fighter? Or am I going to find better use with...

Wow! I leave the post up, sleep and work, and then... :) Thanks for all the replies, you've all given me some things to consider. I think I can safely say that it's a call between Blood and Vigilance and Mutants and Masterminds... As to what sort of game we want to run? I'm not entirely...

I know there are lots of titles available to simulate mutant/superhero gaming... and my group is really interested in a campaign playing such! So, what's the concensus out there? Have you played such a game? What system(s) have you used? What did you think of them? I'm looking for d20 as well...

Hmmm. So, believe it or not, I've never actually seen a spear used in 3rd(or 3.5) edition combat. Or polearms. Can you tell I don't game as much as I might like to? (I used to live out of town from my gaming group, you see...) So, the spear has reach? And there is three kinds of spears? What...

Oh... ah... :uhoh: Should've mentioned my group seems to have an allergic reaction with most everything printed with Forgotten Realms on it... ... something about Ed Greenwood and Elminster the biggest twink ever... I don't know...

Hmm, I like the ideas, Mouseferatu. But, what about things that are already in the rules somewhere? I admit, my gaming group is all about using things in printed products, and our adventurous nature extends about as far as thinking about buying Frostburn. So, unfortunately, 3rd party products...

A friend of mine is starting up a new campaign, and suddenly, it occurs to me; never, not once, since the old days of playing 2nd edition, have I seen anyone in our gaming group play a fighter that focused more on spears (both the long and short versions). Everybody uses a sword, or an axe, or a...

While these numbers are a bit... uhh... out there, I think there's probably a decent reason for it. I mean, personally, I can count on my hand the number of characters in 2nd ed AD&D (when I started playing) that weren't human or elven. And, since 3rd came out, I'm all about the humans. (And...

I voted for being cool with my elves. But really, I think the standard view of them is somewhat boring, and I don't really bother with all these subraces that flop up everywhere. Granted, I don't use 75-85% of the entries in my Monster Manual, so hey, not a big surprise, right? I think elves...

I saw a pretty formidable character in one campaign I played in. They were a tiefling rogue/swashbuckler (from CW), whom went into the 3.5 Duelist PrC. I think they had one of those three-part situation feats from CW, and used blindfight, and innate darkness ability, to have foes stabbing at...

I need your help! I want to run a game that will be using the three basic classes, Warrior, Expert and Spellcaster, in lieu of the traditional D&D classes. These are described in Unearthed Arcana. Have /you/ been in or run a game using these classes? Have you ever pondered using them in a...

So, as I've noted in threads previous, I'm gearing up for a game I will be running using the basic classes as presented in Unearthed Arcana. Has anyone else ran/played in a game using the three basic classes? How has it gone? Positive/negative impressions? Did you use prestige classes? If so...

Well, I sort of want to avoid the characters having access to both spell lists. In my game, there is a defined role for wizards (arcane spellcasters) and priests (divine spellcasters) and I want them to be differentiated. I'd prefer to keep their spell lists separate, entirely. Hmm. Maybe they...

Alright, so I was just reading the section in Unearthed Arcana about the three basic classes. And it says that a spellcaster's choice of being divine or arcane does /not/ affect their spell selection, rather, it only affects the sort of scrolls they can use. Now, to me, this sounds like it...

Right, probably a silly question; 'Hey, anybody out there want to draw me (and possibly color in) a nice looking map for free!' But, you know, there are lots of weirdoes out there (this is the internet after all, believe you me, Jenny Jones told my Mama there was plenty of weirdoes!) and also...

Thanks to everyone still keeping this thread alive. I still haven't started my game, so I am still contemplating various things. As for the suggestion to buying products... I'm sure there are some great things out there, with just what I want (also, I think Midnight just screams cool) but, I...

Quick Leaf, I'm really interested in that last idea of yours. The three aspects, tongue of the gods, etc. I've not exactly gotten all the thematic points of my game down yet, so I have lots of room to wriggle around and accomodate strange twists like this! Of course, at the same time, I've been...
