    D&D 5E Spiked Chain Barbarian... where do I go next?

    If I was allowed Rokugan stuff, my character would be a no-brainer. Way of the Crab, Hide Technique. 21 AC. *sniff* :"( I really want to play a Crab Clan Berserker one of these days. Rob

    D&D 5E Spiked Chain Barbarian... where do I go next?

    I've looked at Quicker than the Eye, actually. I'm thinking about it, but its a long-term goal, since I won't be able to pick it up until 9th level, and that's IF I put a whopping 2 points into Dex. In the short term, I'm disappointed with all of you. Nobody tried to recommend me Power...

    D&D 5E Spiked Chain Barbarian... where do I go next?

    Actually, my future character development plan does revolve around getting some rogue (sneak attack) and Gladiator (bluff as MEA) levels in order to maximize my effective usage of Expert Tactician. However, at my current levels, I think I'd be better off with some Cleaving action.

    D&D 5E Spiked Chain Barbarian... where do I go next?

    Psion's an interesting idea, but I don't think I want to take the BAB hit, or the HP hit. Any comments on the Expert Tactician idea? With 18 Dex and Improved Initiative, I can be pretty mean with that, especially with some Rogue levels.

    D&D 5E Spiked Chain Barbarian... where do I go next?

    Thanks for all the suggestions. After giving it some thought, I think I want to truck out an old character concept and try for Bbn/Ftr/Rog, with the eventual goal of becoming a Gladiator. I also plan on taking Expert Tactician and abusing the hell out of the Improved Feint power. I don't...

    D&D 5E Spiked Chain Barbarian... where do I go next?

    I have a L1 Half Orc Barbarian with 20 Str, 17 Dex, 16 Con, 13 Int, 16 Wis, 10 Cha. She wields a Spiked Chain, and has Exotic Weapon Proficiency: Spiked Chain. What level should I take for L2, and why? I'm thinking of either fighter, or Psychic Warrior. With the latter, I was going down the...

    (IRR) The Rokugan IR Turn 0 (OOC Thread)

    I think I'm going to play the Brotherhood of Shinsei, with affiliated monasteries and vast armies of fighting monks. I think they're highly underrepresented in the Rokugan setting, and were an important part of Chinese and Japanese history. However, I probably would not have much in the way of...

    Ever wanted to be the Emperor of an entire empire, instead of the barbarian?

    I want to play a combination of monks and off-board Gaijin traders (whom we'll temporarily call the Castillians and the Vendel). Basically, I'll represent the forces of reactionary conservatism, and untrammelled progress. I like it already :)

    (IRR) The Rokugan IR Turn 0 (OOC Thread)

    Are there still slots open? I notice that the monasteries and the Tao of Shinsei is not represented in most of these claims. Also, the Nagah and the People of the Burning Sands aren't represented either. Hence, there's a fair bit of room for someone to show up :)

    [d20 Modern] My campaign idea

    Why wait for D20 Modern? Start now. Buy Adventure!... the GAMA-award winning game, and definitely the best game WW's ever released. I do recommend removing the artificial delineations between daredevils, mesmerists, and umm... whatever the third one is, though. Still, its the best pulp...

    [d20 Modern] Let the gnashing of teeth begin!

    You're assuming that the raw Con score is going to be the Massive Damage point, though. Most likely, they'll suggest that you move the Massive Damage point as a means of varying the lethality of your game, and thus, defining the genre. Want hard-boiled noir? Keep it at Con. Sphagetti...

    Septentrionalis and Swashbuckling Adventures

    Fans of Swashbuckling Adventures should check out the revised Septentrionalis page. While I do like Swashbuckling Adventures, I think Septentrionalis shows slightly cleaner design. In particular, I like how a single feat gives a character most of the basic fencing maneuvers. You can use the...

    Swashbuckling Adventures (D20 7th Sea)

    I'm not sorry to miss the 7th Sea magic system. I assume that Swashbuckling Adventures is supposed to be a generic D20 supplement with some Theah bits, kinda like OA. The campaign-specific magical classes can be stuck somewhere else, where I can ignore them. Though Fate Witches are kinda cool.

    [FR] where to start play?

    How about Neverwinter? THat way, you can tie in the events of your NWN game, and introduce your favourite characters from that game (i.e. your character who went to 20th level and defeated the lizzie plot to conquer the world).

    Swashbuckling Adventures (D20 7th Sea)

    I picked up Swashbuckling Adventures today, and I haven't noticed all those glaring, horrible editing errors people are talking about. Whatever the case, the editing isn't as horrible as Mechanical Dream, which should really get an award for bad editing ("When your players come to...

    Looking for gamers in London, ONT

    Looking for players in London, Ontario. I want to run D&D 3e/Dragonstar/Wasteworld/Feng Shui/Exalted/Adventure, but will play anything. I'll be moving to London, Ontario at the beginning of August, so if you get in touch with me now, I can adjust what part of my extensive gaming library I'll...

    Looking for players in London, Ontario

    I'm looking to join a game in London, Ontario. I won't be moving there until the first or second week of August, but I figure I might as well make a post now so I can decide what books I need to bring ^_^ I can run or play. Systems I know include all WW, D20, Shadowrun, and Rifts. I would...

    Feng Shui or HKAT?

    If you were to use only one 2d6-based mechanic, I'd recommend Feng Shui. I just don't like the HKAT conceit of having people play actors who take up movie roles. I think that's dumb, dumb, dumb. I don't think the whole RPG within an RPG thing works, whether for HKAT or Dream Park. That being...

    NWN Servers

    I'm starting this thread so that people can post their NWN server names here. Mine will be called "asc's #dnd3e v#.##" from now on. Substitute the version numbers with the most recent, or second most recent, if I'm feeling lazy. Currently, I will only be hosting the included modules, and I...

    [OT] 2002 World Cup, part 2

    Congratulations to all you Americans out there for the convincing victory over Mexico. I personally think the US threw the game with Poland so they wouldn't be stuck playing Italy in the Round of 16. They played a tight, defensive game and capitalized on the Mexican errors. Mexico had 60%+...
