    Why is Min/Maxing viewed as bad?

    maybe the greater good is being missed? youd probably have to decide from the onset of the campaign if you want that kind of play style. i mean, even if you decide to run certian races, illumians for example, they play to the min/maxing aspect of the game for sure. every second level of a...

    Gestalt (Or however its spelt) out of the Unearthed Arcana

    Has anybody in here ever played or run a Gestalt character variant out of the Unearthed Arcana? I'll need comments from both players and dms, does it swing gameplay one way or the other too much? some of the combinations are outright rediculous, but the possiblity aspect also seems out of this...

    God of War, dungeons, and my game

    chain blades my brother is doing that for our campaign, but its kind of the reverse, he made a legacy weapon up like kratos' chainblades, picking one move for each step of the parts of the legacy, much like a normal legacy weapon. its fun being a medium sized creature without improved sunder...

    An all-mage party

    spellfire is wicked no problem, i think spellfire is always a wicked feat to take, and its even better where they errated it to not be taken at first level, i believe. but if it has to be taken at first level, run a human wizard with able learner and spellfire. that way all cross class...

    An all-mage party

    cool concept i dont dm much, but ive often wondered how it would balance out. as the one guy said, it would be tough to balance with everybody on initative throwing lightning bolts and fireballs. the only way you could counteract that would be with insane fighters or rogues with lots of...

    damage reduction

    this might be a noob question, but the dm and i got into a nasty argument about it last night. keep in mind, the dm is also my brother too. vampires have Damage Reduction 10/silver and magic. when it says 'magic,' that specifies just magic weapons and magic attacks, or weapons with magic on...

    Do You Prefer to Play One of the Four Primary Base Classes (Clr, Ftr, Rog, Wiz)?

    yeah, after having my share of exotic classes in the various races books, ill stick with the the wizard, or a variant thereof. sometimes it is more fun to run a sorcerer backup for a wizard in a campaign, so you can compliment his firepower with some ass kicking of your own, or if the sorcerer...

    Applying the anarchic template to an existing character

    If i take the Anarchic Template offered in the Planar Handbook and apply it to an 8th level PC, does the PC now have to play through 5 levels of it since the template has a level adjustment of 5? Or would the level adjustment only apply if i started the anarchic at first level. any help is...

    Choose one race in addition to the core races

    Since Im awt work and dont have time to figure out how to copy posts at the moment, im with post #50, there were no outsider options. I think a good race, if it is one, to add to the phb would be an unraveler. Theyd make pefect monks. If youve got that one player thats annoying in your...
