    D&D 3E/3.5 3.5 Arcane Archer Rebuild

    The only other possible bit you might want to reconsider is the bit about the mehta item being destroyed when you make a new mehta. This means that if you find a +2 bow early on, then switch to a +3 bow later on (perhaps it's a mighty bow for instance, that could be one reason you claimed it)...

    D&D 3E/3.5 3.5 Arcane Archer Rebuild

    Hmm.. very interesting! It seems to work pretty well, I don't have any problem with it.. Some analysis: Taking it as soon as possible means that it could be taken at 8th level. If we aim for maximal combat effectiveness, we'd go for clvl 1 = wizard, clvl 2-7, 18-20 = fighter. You'd have the...

    Eaglesford Campaign: "Strange Lights"

    A lot of good points have been made.. and Riva is sure eager to teach those dastardly goblins a lesson for that ambush of theirs.. But I have a question about the "ballista".. What stats are you using for the ballista? How much damage does it do, how is it reloaded, how quickly can it be...

    Eaglesford Campaign: "Strange Lights"

    Well, something tells me that we won't be getting much rest this time.. we ended last session with a combat done and some goblins interrogated.. but the RBDM isn't letting us ending the night with a nice restful sleep.. no, Nail has nefarious plans afoot, I'm thinking it might be a mad dash to...

    Eaglesford Campaign: "Strange Lights"

    Heh, actually, the way Riva was thinking at the time is that he really *couldn't* go backwards because there were all those people in the way behind him in that narrow corridor. (and he didn't have enough movement).. And he didn't really want to get hit by that ballista a 2nd time. And if anyone...

    Eaglesford Campaign: "Strange Lights"

    Riva thinks that the fairest way would be a little contest. See who can hit a tree or something at gradually farther ranges.. that'd work! :) After all, that would determine who's the most worthy!

    Eaglesford Campaign: "Strange Lights"

    I'm surprised that the stonework is as "bumpy" and contoured as it is though.. I mean, it'd be fairly straightforward to climb for a rogue.. it's not smooth at all.. unless the picture is just meant to show us how the stones fit together without mortar and the walls are actually smooth and...

    Eaglesford Campaign: "Strange Lights"

    Oh, that's ok, I don't mind you posting it.. it adds a neat touch to what's going on in Riva's head for those who wouldn't otherwise know.. and you're better at the descriptive stuff than I am.. :) And it gives Riva (me) stuff to think about.. and (heh), that's one reason that Riva's so keen...

    Eaglesford Campaign: "Strange Lights"

    I wanted to mention this in the last session, but when I thought to do so, things were going at such a pace that there didn't seem to be a good time for it.. ah well..

    v3.5 Core Books on sale!

    Can you give the description of the Combat Expertise feat? I'm hoping that it will fold the OA Improved Expertise into it (ie: get rid of the +5 limitation) Thanks, Gregg

    (OT) Any vegans out there?

    also, it's probably a good idea for the original poster to do some research of his own.. what you'll get (and you've gotten) on here is a lot of different opinions combined with quite a bit of flat-out incorrect info .. and it's a topic that with some can lead to heated tempers.. so don't take...

    (OT) Any vegans out there?

    If you're looking for more info about the whole vegan thing, you might want to have a look at vegsource , there's a lot of useful info there.. in addition to various links they do host a lot of different forums as well, including at least one geared to people considering a vegan diet.. and if...

    I've got the 3.5 PHB in front of me

    Can you post the info on the Expertise feat? I'm curious to see if it still has that limit of using +5 from the BAB (ie: does it now incorporate what Improved Expertise (OA) does?). And also what the prereqs are. Thanks! Videssian

    Cleric Combo

    Don't forget that you could make him start as an "old" character.. sure, you'd have -3 to str, dex, and con, but you'd get +2 to int, wis, and cha.. so that wis+2 would increase your DCs by one..

    WANTED Melee Types that stand up longer Apply Within

    A large mithril shield has an arcane spell failure of 5%. Even Dwarven Full Plate (which is made of mithril) has only a 25% chance. still not too shabby. Though one would more likely wear a mithril shirt at a spell failure of 10%. And then there's that rumored bit that 3.5E bards will not...

    WANTED Melee Types that stand up longer Apply Within

    Caliban, The breachgnome is a prestige class from Races of Faerun. Remember that he's effectively level 11 (like your example).. 8 from levels, and 3 from his race (ECL+3). And using the table in the DMG, that means 66000 gp starting money..

    WANTED Melee Types that stand up longer Apply Within

    Anditch, what do you have to work with? In other words, are you starting out at 1st with the gp that a 1st level character has, or are you starting out at a higher level (and corresponding higher gp value of stuff). Also, are you using a specific point-buy (28? 32? something else?). This...

    Armour Dilemma: Am I Wrong Here?

    Luck! :) Just noticed you're in Vancouver.. ah, I remember my gaming days in North Vancouver fondly.. where I first learnt about our great game many years ago! So, how'd it go?

    Armour Dilemma: Am I Wrong Here?

    I agree with you as well fusangite.. it seems to me the key point here isn't the armor (or lack of it), but the maturity of the player. My feeling is that if he's going to act like an immature 13-year-old, then treat him like one (despite whatever his actual age might be). I would suggest...
