Thanks, Mort. PrCs are definately cool, but I'd have to get everything I need in 2 levels or so. I'm not opposed to that at all. Really, what I need are suggestions on best buys in general. This is only going to be for one or two more games until we get back into a more serious mode. BTW, Does...

114.) An ancient dusty tome with many scratch-and-sniff sections entitled, Hide Armor for Dummies 115.) Elminster's Butterscotch

I should also mention this would be a 6th or 7th level PC. For purposes of showmanship and a more acrobatic style, I suppose I could play a "No holds Bard". Ahem. <Dr. Devoid crawls back to the dark corner from whence he came>

What's the best idea for feats (from any supplements) for making a wrestler? Which feats are better? And which is the best class combo- Barbarian/Fighter, Fighter/Rogue, Barbarian/Rogue, straight Fighter (I don't know if I'd want to make a Monk into a wrestler)? For race I was thinking of Human...

My understanding of Improved Critical/Keen for a Scythe would be 18-20 x4. For any 19-20 weapon it would be 15-20, and any 18-20 weapon it would be 12-20. Am I mistaken? Also, what supplement does Increased Critical come from? To the best of my knowledge the scariest crit range I can figure is...

I'm not sure I've got the whole idea. Are all races going to get a racial weapon proficiency fighting style combo? Will it have to be a dual wielding technique or a double weapon to get this virtual +1 and what kind of bonus is this? A Competence Bonus? Also, would Weapon Focus & Specialization...

Okay, so you are thinking about ditching a Charisma penalty (half-dwarves are friendlier and less world-weary than their dwarven parent) and the poison penalty (they are still pretty hardy with a Con bonus). We also have a union that doesn't have perfect eyesight, no Dwarven tolerance against...

Are you saying this should be (excuse the pun) tossed as was the +1 to attack kobolds/goblinoids? We came to the decision in the Half-Dwarf thread that one would lose the +1 to hit orcs/goblinoids and would lose the +4 to dodge giants. This extends to the gnomes as well. I feel the child's...

Are we really just a bunch of human-loving gnome-haters? Oh, the gnomanity, stop the insanity!

I like these statements very much: If he is in a Halfling community: He might become the lovable travelling tinker, at home with halflings, but prefering the solitude that a nomadic lifestyle gives, and the challenge that tinkering presents. If he is in a Gnomish community: He will probably be...

MissingDividends, While Wee Jas is the best example I can think of for a patron deity in the standard D&D pantheon, it still seems a little odd. The main connection is the D&Dg (pg. 96) reference to some worshipers insisting Wee Jas favors the creation of magic items. This ties to the two...

This looks good. Obviously, some might mix and match the abilities a little differently, but both versions are solid. Does anyone have any other take on the combination? I guess the real question now is would anyone actually play one of these characters? Would they suffer the way Half-elves and...

If the campaign had a heavy accent towards one or two races (i.e. Gnomes and Dwarves, Gnomes and Halflings, Halflings/Gnomes and Elves) then I think subraces could be fun. But if you have your classic U.N. of fantasyland, having to roleplay all the PC/NPC interactions along the racial spectrum...

Here's a very rough idea, I just threw together the last two abilities. It's a really hacked version of the D20 Star Wars Revised Core Rulebook's Tech Specialist PC class. -BAB: Bad -Will: Good -Reflex: Bad -Fortitude: Bad -HD: d4 -Skill Points: 8 + Int -Pick any 10 skills and make them class...

Tech Specialist You could try hacking the Tech Specialist PC class from the revised SW handbook. That might be easier to play with than rehauling the expert class.

Am I right in assuming the consensus is -4 Str is the way to go for an ECL +0? And by doing so, I think the halfling climb and jump bonus should go out the window as per Technik4's version. What's the consensus about mixing the abilities? What stays what goes, which cantrips?

Demi-Human characters would be great sourcebook material, I think. Many have already mentioned how it works in their homebrews. But should it be in the actual D&D cannon, I don't know. It seems like just too many choices to begin with, for experienced players and min/maxers it could be fun, but...

How about a 2 part skill check, a successful bluff followed by a succesful performance which produces . . . feigned dementia. Possibly this could spawn a feat to bolster it if it's popular which adds, I don't know, 3 (2? maybe 4?) to each check when attempting to feign dementia. People don't...

Continuing our coverage of bastard fantasy races week, I was thinking about gnomelings (part gnome, part halfling). Does anybody think designing one of these would be possible? This somewhat harkens to the topic brilliantly rebuted by CRGreathouse about using 1 point mods. However, the only...

I was just basing the mods off the Derro (+2 Str, -2 Dex, +2 Con, -4 Cha) which is also where the Darkvision 30ft. came from, and at least one way to keep the half-orc (which I feel needs something- scent perhaps?) and dwarf still viable. Derro, as far as understand it, are the original...
