No. Unless you are an outsider yourself. Thats why its listed.

Didn't see that coming. But quite logical actually. And the groups combined would really be more fitting for this meatgrinder of an module :) And as the above poster I'm wondering about the "old" heroes. I'm guessing ECL 16. That fits with the Holy word spell, Dana would just be able to manage...

Rereading my own post makes me feel that it was very negative. I did not in any way mean to slight the story. Afterall Im reading it and loving it almost daily :) and did so with Travels as well. I have no firsthand experience with this module. But for instance in the present fight theres a...

I feel the fights are starting to loose credibility. I think the heroes would have been defeated and dead some time ago if this had been played out at the table. The group may be level 16, but the total lack of real spellcasting effectively slams them down far below that. They should be...

We let fighters ignore ability requirements on their bonus feats. So a fighter with Int 10 can still take combat expertise, as long as he does so with a fighter bonus feat. It has proven to be a nice little boost.

Sorry for the hijacking. Anyway my take on high level play is that you need to rely on your gut instinct a lot and on rules very little. But thats the advice you have gotten already :) Oh well. Another broken 3.0 spell (and a bunch of real rules wise power gamers). I'll have to agree that...

Well Rystil at some level you must have been wanting that Balor dead. As far as I can tell that 4th level fighter was in combat with it at least for two rounds and the Balor would have had at least one round to act in. In that round it could have done a vast number of things that would have...

But it is a very bad deal for the half elf. Thats about the only advantage it has over humans. And how can a human develop the ability to see in the dark. Its not being able to function, low-light vision is being able to see further in the dark than a human. So if you are in light conditions...

I'm somewhat surprised that so many people here link classes to such narrow definitions and concepts. In many ways the bard, for instance, is the ultimate adventurer. He has decent combat abilities, good skills and decent magical abilities. And his "music abilities" need not be music at all. It...

Yep. And having "heavy hands" has more to do with weight and weight displacement than strength. Those obese heavyweights can hit very hard if they have learned the technique (and that includes good footwork) to do so. Pure armstrength wont get you far. Try taking a look at Mike Tysons thighs...

There's one aspect of speed we have yet to introduce in this discussion. Thats reflexive speed vs. conscious speed (not a native english speaker so I'm not sure thats the correct terms). Basically any movement you make has to be planned out by your brain and then signals must be send along the...

For my next campaign I have decided to use standard point buy, but only with 23 points. When they have been allocated the players roll 6 random stat increases (roll 6d6; every 1 increases Str by 1, every 2 increases Dex by 1 and so on). Introduces some randomness (not all fighters will be the...

I think of dexterity as the thing that makes some people able to juggle or dance a coin along their knuckles with little training (I've never learned to do any of those very well even with a bit of training). Or the abililty to throw and catch a ball well (but strength is a factor in throwing...

To further blur the issue IMO great strength usually also mean greater toughness (ability to absorb a blow). In fact to some extent the ability scores Str, Dex and Con would be related. Really hideous Str (like the guys in world strongests men contests) would limit your speed and Dex somewhat...

Let me get this ríght. The party opens the door and walks in. They see the necromancer and the zombies (and vice versa). The necromancer speaks to them and they decide to attack. IMO no one is flatfooted in this situation. There is no surprise and everyone can clearly see each other. I would...

Hey Lazybones. Great story. But do you habor some unconscious ill will against arcane casters. Isn't this the second story in a row where you have stripped the party of their sole arcane caster (and in this case the primary divine as well) :) I'm only half joking here. In both your long story...

The bodybuilder analogy is just dead wrong. You should not be comparing a smal and nimble guy with a body builder. A body builder is not a fighter. You should be comparing him to Mike Tyson (or any other heavy weight boxer). He is not going to be slow and ungainly. He is going to be damn...

And believe me you put he smacdown on in the earlier editions. Can't really remember if it was 1ed or 2ed, but I distinctly remember our partys 4 fightertypes (at about 8th level) going through 2 lesser (150 hp each) and 1 greater undead colossus (250 hp) in something like 3-4 rounds. Our DM...

Seeten while its marginally funny to read about others games and point fingers most of this thread ain't gonna help you at all. This is an issue between you and the dm, possibly with the rest of the group on one of the sides. No one else can solve the problem for you. And for sure the solution...

Iron will is always good for fighters. After choosing that why don't you take a talk with the dm. From the tidbits you have disclosed is seems you have different expectations from the game and that causes you problems. If you explain what you expect from the game and the dm does the same there...
