The goblin rogue/ranger that hunts the PCs after they wipe out his tribe... Throw in a hat of disguise, and let him stalk them through several months -- even through cities! A bard with performance ranks in various adult industries. Anyone remember the "Lost Druid" kit out of the Complete...

Uhg. Add the crowd controller (reach weapon with combat reflexes -- pursue improved trip/knockdown and the Ralix style out of Quintessential fighter) and the archer (cleric) The cavalry guy isn't terrible, if you do a bunch of stuff outdoors... OfficeRonin

I agree! My wife and I have it worked out -- I go and game on Sundays while she watches her (American) football game. (I'm a football widower...) If I wanted a gaming item for Christmas, I'd just ask her for a gift certificate to my favorite gaming store -- it's easier than explaining what...

I rated it an 8 -- everyone with a +3 or better Charisma Modifier should take this feat. It's kind of a wash with a +2... I really like the various abilities that let clerics do interesting stuff with their "turning" ability. As a DM, I don't have to feel that I need to throw in the...

Re: "...infiltration and spying." I've seen several first level PC rangers, but never a second level PC ranger... They all multiclass with rogue, or, occasionally, druid or barbarian. Yes, the gravy is all in level 1, and there is no reason to stay in for levels 2+. There were so many feats...

Thanks all for your help! I was looking for something official -- like the moddy of the Sure Striking quality or a feat that means you drop it instead of it breaking -- but the "Beyond Monks" rule might work. Thanks again! OfficeRonin

Errr, No. In this case, I am the player, and the PC is my character. Although I could sunder an enemy's weapon, I don't, because I have better tricks that don't eat my treasure. (Well, I might if the party were losing the fight, because I'm too slow to run away due to armor...) I'm worried...

First, thank you for the response. Magic Metal-Hafted? How do you work this? This is what I think you are saying -- please correct me if I'm wrong: Enchanting a weapon only covers "the business end". Therefore, to protect the shaft from sundering, I'd need to pay to have the shaft enchanted...

I guess I'd house rule it to disorient them, requiring a move equivalent to reorient themselves. I would allow the Improved Trip follow-up... OfficeRonin

I have a PC who is good with a polearm (glaive) -- how do I protect against Sunder? For starters, I thought steel strips running the length of the pole to give it the strength of an metal-hafted weapon. At least this is historical (Macedonian Pike, Swiss Pike and Swiss Halberds sometimes had...

Just a note if anyone uses Quintessential Fighter -- I made a PC fighter last night (3rd level) with 3 ranks of "Ralix Style" out of Quintessential Fighter. Feats are: Weapon Focus: Glaive (1st level) Expertise (1st level human) Power Attack (1st level fighter) Improved Trip (2nd level...

It's tough to Sunder with a rapier -- if you're using a greatsword, sunder, and now you're both with one weapon... OfficeRonin

In my group, we like weasels and snakes. Either one can hide up your sleeve, and be out of harm's way, out of sight from curious townspeople, etc... OfficeRonin

I like the bard, although it's underpowered. For an archer, I'd go with point blank shot and pick up precise shot at level 6, rapid shot at level 9. Actually, I'd have made it human, but... It's going to be a long road to level 6. I might ditch lingering song to get that precise shot at 3...

Exactly -- If half the value of a feat is what it does, and half is what it allows you to take later on, then "phantom feat" would be balanced to work both ways, because you're getting 50% value of each of the two feats each way. Of course, feats should be about 75% value in "what it does" and...

Brits don't seem to have the problem with being overweight -- perhaps because of their teeth? Smile for the camera -- on second thought, don't... :) OfficeRonin

I always thought Webster was just trying to cheat at scrabble. OfficeRonin

Here's what I did, and it worked really well -- 1. For each PC, define where they are from and what their parents did. 2. Pick 4 skills based on this backround -- none of them can be exclusive skills. 3. DM adjudicates the skill choices for balance, and, since not all skills are equal...

What do you think of this feat? Phantom Feats When taking "Phantom Feat", you select two other feats for which the character would meet the prerequisites. The second feat chosen may have the requirement of the first feat as a prerequisite. For the purposes of pre-requisites for either...
