    NEW PLAYER Monk/Psionic Class HELP

    So what does tashalotora do exactly, or rather, where can I look it up, as it might be interesting for my character to take as well? You'll find out that PsiFist catches up to PsyWar rather quickly in terms of PP/day and maximum power level. I'd also recommend you the Practiced Manifester...

    NEW PLAYER Monk/Psionic Class HELP

    I'm in basically the same situation as you: I'm also playing a Monk 4, only she's a nerfed Githzerai. When making the character, I wanted to make it a Monk/PsyWar, but since we're playing FR (and thus, no Eberron feats), I was troubled by the Monk's multiclassing restrictions, so I went for Monk...

    Too many paragon paths / epic destinies

    Not every concept needs its own mechanic, let alone its own Paragon Path. You just have to disentangle flavour and mechanics of the existing classes (which is easy for some, more difficult for others). That's why I liked the 3.5 fighter so much; it could be anything from a gladiator to a samurai...

    Notebook CPU question

    Unfortunately it does say 1,6 Core Duo or equivalent. Guess those 1,3 are insufficient then. It does however have a Radeon HD 4530 graphics chip, so will that be alright for games that are a bit older (e.g. Oblivion)?

    Notebook CPU question

    I'd like to buy a notebook that has an ULV (ultra-low voltage) CPU. The one thing that worries me is that the CPU in question (Intel SU4100) is only clocked at 1,3 GHz. Since I'd like to play Dragon Age, I'm worried that I won't meet its requirements (1,6 GHz for Vista). Now, I've heard several...

    "Math glitch" -- explanation or pointer?

    I agree with you on the results, but would like to add that even savvy players will find themselves "feat-taxed", as they'll have to take expertise and paragon defenses if they want to keep up. I don't agree on the cause of the problem. I don't think they went over the math and said to...

    D&D 3E/3.5 3.5 DMG stat block irritation

    So ch. 4 first presents you the five NPC classes and then gives you detailed stats for NPCs per level, but only for the eleven player classes? Am I missing something here? Or are NPC classes supposed to be so simple that DMs should be able to stat them on the fly?

    4E Class Survivor - Round 11

    Get out, Sorcerer, you are a one-trick-pony and I won't suffer your kind any longer!

    4e Warlocks - How Would You Fix Them?

    I play a helllock in a group that also has a rogue and a ranger (and not much else, FWIW), and I can only say that if you are just concerned with how much damage you do, this situation will be quite depressing. I play it for the concept, this and the few controller powers the 'lock gets are...

    4E Class Survivor - Round 10 (make your prediction)

    So, does this mean we have to announce who we voted for in here? Well, for all I care the Sorcerer can rot in a pile of wyrmish manure. And since this whole contest is one big striker fan-convention, I predict Barbarian, Ranger, Rogue.

    HEROES Vol 5 #4:Acceptance/Season 4/09

    I wonder whatever happened to Mohinder... The guy who plays him doesn't even show up in the cast anymore. Guess the writers just wrote him out or the actor fled. Wouldn't be below them to just ignore that he ever existed. Nathan's pulling a Mohinder there as well I reckon.

    4E Class Survivor - Round 8

    Could you make one more column to include the power sources? I think I'm sensing a pattern here...

    What does Ectoplasm look like?

    I think it looks like it needs to look to fulfill its purpose. E.g. a Wall of Ectoplasm is made up of matter (unlike a wall of force), and thus must be quite dense to make a barrier. I always picture it the way it's described in the Dresden Files: translucent goo, but only when inanimated. As...

    HEROES Vol 5 #1 & 2:Orientation/Season 4/09

    In Soviet Russia, time freezes YOU!! ...but seriously, this is more of the same, except now we have the Traveling Gypsy Carnival of Ages led by an evil tattoo artist.

    OotS #680 is up

    Heh..."sax tent" *giggles* Does that Western Continent remind anyone else of Kalimdor?

    Augmenting Psi-Like Abilities?

    ...this seems a little like splitting hairs to me, as the "augmentation" is practically free, so there's no "forced expenditure" of power points. Unless, of course, there are situations where you wouldn't want your powers to be augmented?

    Augmenting Psi-Like Abilities?

    Hell yeah, that is good news indeed. Pasting that snippet into the PLA description in chapter "Psionics" would have helped a lot... Thanks!

    Augmenting Psi-Like Abilities?

    Is it possible to augment psi-like abilities like powers when your manifester level goes up and you have a reserve of power points? My gut feeling says no, as PLAs don't work with power points, but daily uses. However, since your manifester level for PLAs goes up every two class levels, and...

    Creating a "lesser" Githzerai at LA +0

    That's what the PGtF variants of drow and svirfneblin do, isn't it. I like that very much actually, as I'm thinking of changing SR into a save bonus anyway. So does this mean that you can start right off the bat as a Level-1 character and either choose to take class levels or come closer to...

    Creating a "lesser" Githzerai at LA +0

    I've wanted to play a githzerai character for some time, but was always put off by their Level Adjustment (+2). The PGtF introduced me to the concept of "lesser" races, i.e. stripped-down variants of powerful races that have no LA. In the process of converting the githzerai, I've run into some...
