I added a quiver of returning and mending (I took the same price of the scabbard of keen edges and added 2000 for the mending). Arrows drawn from the quiver return and mend one round after leaving the possessor of the quiver. Of course, we also houseruled that only the heads of the arrows were...

Comparing this to the Arcanist (Mongoose's Big Book 'O PrCs, whatever it's called), which was a similar idea, this is far more potent. I'd add a few restrictions: 1. Since Druids would get screwed with this PrC (by losing wildshape), I'd just bar them by requiring that the divine caster have...

Clearly, I have not attended an Afro-American service recently... I'm glad you like the idea, though! :) OfficeRonin

In all cases, bind their wounds if time permits. Clerics devoted to a god of healing might use cure minor on the rough cases. Next, turn them over to the guard (assuming that the guard is not known to be corrupt) unless the PCs have legal powers. CG might be more willing to use them as...

You are having this problem at level 8 and 9?!!! Where are your fighters and rogues? Did they choose dumb feats? A wizard who chose spells poorly is crippled -- why should it be different for the fighter? Do they have equipment? Somewhere in level 6-10 is when I throw in the "signature"...

I second that sentiment. D+D is a level-based system, where PCs quickly become super-heroes, and no one ever cares very much about whether Superman can barter effectively with Joe the Shopkeeper. OfficeRonin

Personally, I'm against having my wizards make any magic item for themselves that they will not be keeping for their entire career -- so I have only made a few scrolls (and they are always "get out of dodge" spells) and have never made wands or staves. (In addition, I will usually take...

Bard. Hands down, bards make the best cohorts for a cleric. Consider that cohorts are lower in level than the PC, the cohort should not be in the front line. The bard, hanging out in the back taking the occasional potshot, sings (boosting everyone else's effectiveness), and throws the...

If you want to be a melee cleric, decide whether you want to go sword and board or two-handed. If you go sword and board, take weapon focus, and pursue the Style of Cordun, from Quint Fighter. If you go for a reach weapon, combat reflexes is key. Archer clerics should take PB Shot and...

With apologies for poor spelling... From TV and movies -- Survivor: Isle of Dread Who wants to marry a lich? Blind Date: Ravenloft My Big Fat Geek Wedding: An Everquest D20 Adventure G.U.A.R.D.S. ("Bad boys, bad boys, whatcha' gonna' do?") From Literature -- Last of the Sahauguin Paragon...

Low magic, but high fantasy? Why not just have the PCs get magical tattoos that "simulate" magic items? If you're planning to have dragons and wraiths (along with Michelle Yeoh and Chow Yun Fat skipping through the trees) all over the place, it's not a low-magic world. Deal with it. (...and...

Not really -- the closest we've been is the city sewers (which are not that expensive) and a few large buildings. We do much more with politics and wilderness exploration. OfficeRonin

"...and having poured my soul into your forging, I shall call you 'Sunder-Bait"!" OfficeRonin

It was in a Cyberpunk campaign -- the group had just killed the mayor-elect, and was running from the group of police and corporate ops squads. They rode their motorcylces into a crowded supermarket, started firing to create a panic, with the idea to escape in the confusion that was created...

Definitely the best store to go to. If you don't have a car, pick up the Chicago and Northwestern train at Oglevie Station or in Jefferson Park (right next to the Blue line), and take it to Mt. Prospect. When you get off at Mt. Prospect, look around for the ugliest, electric blue building that...

I've read S+F, DotF, S+S, T+B, and MotW, and disliked all of them. I found roughly 2 pages of useful material in each -- and that's not enough to warrant buying them. (I liked about 5% of the feats and 2 or 3 of the PrCs, total.) That's all opinion, and everyone can disagree. I was severely...

37 -- Hazcock, the 1/2 orc bard. His performance specialization was as an "adult" actor. Edit -- I was drunk when I made this PC, and just starting to get hungover when he died... OfficeRonin

All these precautions assume that the bad guys know that the enemy might try to scry and teleport. If they think this is likely, I'd use it as bait for a trap. Here's one I did once -- the princess was captured, and the bad guys did a trap the soul into a gem. The gem was part of a...

With a sky high dex (can (and should) be done with point method), I go for quicker than the eye ASAP. If I'm playing a race with a DEX bump, I take it at first level. If not, then at 6th. I will also grab combat reflexes and expert tactician, and probably weapon finesse: dagger. By 6th...

I like GURPS -- especially for modern or future settings. The big drawback that I see is that there are only 4 stats -- I like seeing willpower and intelligence as seperate stats. OfficeRonin
