I want to play a shardmind battlemind to go with my friend's warforged warlord. Then we can have a teleportation accident and become a shardforged battlelord and a...uh...warmind warmind.

1. 40 2. 60 3. Since a human is simply animated meat, shouldn't it have the statistics of a side of beef? I kid, but the reason golems have such high hit points compared to a comparably sized inanimate statue is because they, like humans, are moving around and defending themselves in a fight...

People keep picking on the Feywild, but can you imagine the Athasian Shadowfell? :eek:

Monks come from all sorts of places in my world. One country uses them as diplomats. (After all, diplomacy and sense motive are class skills). They are trained in the use of martial arts since you realy can't bring swords to a negotiating table. In an island nation, they are the elite...

Never underestimate the value of armor-independant classes in a tropical environment. Monks, Rogues, and Rangers would be very popular in an Egyptian setting. For monks, there were martial arts styles that bore a remarkable resemblence to kung-fu, only using the khopesh and other local weapons...

One good non-Oriental (though not European) monk is the Makini of Hawaii. They fought unarmored and with primative weapons, largely because there was almost no iron on the islands they called home. They perfected a martial art style called Lua based on a lot of grapples and joint locks, had a...

I refer to monks by the specific role they play: "Diplomats" Members of one nation's diplomatic corps are trained in the martial arts and undergo esoteric treatments to gradually transform their bodies and make them resistant poison, disease, and other methods of assassination. "Lodge...

I'm quite intrigued by the "Delusions of Grandeur" spell...

Hmm...I'd read that article before, but it didn't have much to say on separating the IC from the OOC. I'll try this for a session or two and see how it works, like most of my house rules.

I love combat descriptions, and Eberron is supposed to be all about the cenematic swashbuckling flair. Unfortunately, I find that they often bog things down during the actual combat round. Some people I know (myself included to some degree) are even so afraid of being accused of metagaming that...

Here are two ideas for my game I'm considering implimenting in order to speed things up and help my players get into the game more: 1) Backwards Screen: I have a very nice DM screen I bought a while back, but I hardly ever use it. Sure, I roll behind it, but I almost never have to look at the...

Definately! D&D is slowly moving away from its stereotypical roots and towards a more flexible world, and the Goliath is a step in the right direction. It's very much not a standard fantasy race, and yet it just fits. It also makes for a very interesting character with a very unusual...

I'd imagine that people in southern khorvaire tend towards duskier skin tones while those in northern will be paler. Karrnathi I see as very Aryan in appearance, while native Brelanders I see as having an Indian appearance. Q'Barra I see as very racially mixed. The Shadow Marches people probably...

Reminds me of the Song of Roland...

Eberron does this pretty well IMO. The prevalence of magic items is an assumption and magic is common in society. Everburning torches line the city streets, mages are payed to arcane lock the prisons, etc. Divine magic is uncommon, but not entirely rare, particularly in faith-heavy nations like...

Footnote at the end of the "spellcasting and services" section on page 129 of the 3.5 PHB: "See spell description for additional costs. If the additional costs put the spell's total cost above 3,000 gp, that spell is not generally available except by the DM's permission." Therefore, the way I...

Have you ever smashed a wasp? They keep twitching for several minutes! They'll keep trying to crawl away too. Anyway, there are no published wasp stats, but there are stats for a wasp swarm in the Fiend Folio. Updating it should be easy.

One time my DM was attempting to read my character sheet. This is easier said than done considering I have worse handwriting than most 4-year-olds. This led to a hilarous discussion where we tried to figure out what a spell like what she thought it was would be like. Thus, my bard now has...

It may just be rumor, but I heard from someone in the RPGA that Wizards promised them no new edition until 2013 (ten years after 3.5). Again, don't take my word from it as this is just a rumor.

That hit the nail on the head. There is the reason why no ECL +1 race should be Large, and why they got rid of the size change for the Dragon Disciple. It becomes far too clunky to have a PC that takes up 4 squares, thus having to squeeze through most doorways and entirely blocking hallways...
