    Forked Thread: Chicago Gameday XXI - Return to the Slave Pits - PC planning thread

    I'll happily play an elvish bow cleric :) Get that base covered. I can also bring a pre-gen or two just in case.

    Chicago Gameday XXI Planning Thread; our date is Nov 8th

    Lost Temple of the Fey Gods - a D&D 4E Living Forgotten Realms adventure Faeries, sprites, nymphs, and dryads – the fey creatures of Faerûn’s wild places are often dismissed as nuisances and pranksters. Those who truly understand the fey know that as with all things natural, there is a darker...

    If we still need to fill that afternoon slot, I can run a 4E living forgotten realms game.

    Tactical Warlord - Human or Eladrin?

    Genasi are my first pick - +2 Str/+2 Int and some really good racial stuff (pick up the forgotten realms guide, its good stuff) Eladrin are my second choice - int needs to be 18 for a Tac warlord. Also, you can get spear proficiency and get some of the neato longspears in the Adventurers...

    Warlord: Knight's Move vs. Aid the Injured

    Aid the injured until, say, level 6ish. Its a pretty poor combat heal, but at the early levels a part needs all it can get. To be honest though, I feel that a well placed Knight's Move provides more healing than aid the injured. Avoiding blows is better than getting hit in the first place...

    New Masterwork Armors, Power Creep...but a good kind of Power Creep?

    I'm looking at it and that doesn't seem to be the case. It simply is more of a tiered system. Maybe my math is wrong, but the armors in the Adventurers Vault simply allow more options on your way to the next tier, choosing between points of AC for points of Fort/Reflex/Will I think the PHB...

    switching a versatile weapon between 1h and 2h, what action?

    Best I can come up with: 2H to 1H is free action - as you're "Dropping a weapon" with one hand, which is a free action. 1H to 2H is a minor action - No real reason other than I don't want 1-h to 2-h shenanigans - there is nothing in the rules which is close to this that I can tell. Maybe...

    How bad is the paladin going to be without armor in combat?

    If it is a short - one shot type of thiing. Go right ahead. The pally will NOT SHINE this adventure combat wise, so be sure to make it up to him in future adventures. and even in this adventure by requiring skill challenges that the pally may be better able to accomplish. Sounds to me...

    Barbarian Class in this month's Dragon !

    I'm hoping for a CON based striker or defender. It'd be cool if he is a defender and the mark made him rage! "Attack my buddy willl ya! Barb Smash!"

    Greedy Players and the Lust for Treasure!

    Play with the RPGA Living Forgotten Realms system for loot - its pretty easy and works well. In your scenario - I'd have a witness see one player kill the other. If they are only level 2, odds are the local constable could wipe the floor with them. Now you have 2 dead characters (one...

    Warlock or Wizard

    Warlock is ok, but probably the least effective striker. Wizard is the only class that fits the controller mold. Plus, its got those cool out of combat at-wills to play with so you're more effective outside of combat than the warlock. If your group doesn't already have a wizard, go wiz. If...

    Back into the combat immediatley

    Sounds like a pretty standard combat trick. Depends on monster intelligence, though. Standard, average intelligence monsters would probably just do exactly that - smack the seemingly easy target, then focus on the guy also trying to kill them. Smart or especially cruel monsters who can...

    Help! A player wants to play "Captain America"

    Make sure he gets a magic shield, since it'd then be a magic thrown item that would return to him after he uses it!

    Best Base Class for Multiclassing?

    I'd say any STR based class is best, since there 5(Cleric,Warlord,Paladin,Fighter,Ranger) of the 8 classes have a LOT of options for a STR based character. Or, to take that a step further, a Brutal Scoundral Rogue is the best multi-class, since with str as a secondary stat, the BS rogue can...

    Forked Thread: Art of the Peel ... Enfeebling vs Bosltering Strike

    Indeed, a -2 to attack is very very good. I must counter that it is not "good only 10% of the time" which, while is true at face value, the reality is that, say, a monster who hits 50% of the time now hits 30% (marked and -2) against someone else. That's a MASSIVE boost. Add that to the hefty...

    DM advice please! - 3 Strikers, 1 Leader

    I think you have enough of a party to deal with encounters. I'd make sure that nobody is skimping on CON though and start everyone off with a potion of healing. Not having a mix will probably hurt, especially as levels increase as Striker's don't seem to progress in damage nearly as fast as...

    Forked Thread: Once per day non-magical effects destroy suspension of disbelief

    I feel that daily powers HELPS the suspension of disbelief. I know I only have a few things that are dailies that I need to keep track of. IN previous additoins, I could easily have TONS of dailies, without even being a spellcaster. Having to look though my character sheets IMMEDIATELY...

    3.5e -- What REALLY needed fixing?

    I don't know that it could be fixed in a 3.5 system, but disproportionate leveling. Some levels are huge, some are so minor it almost doesn't mean a thing. Probably the first huge level is wizard 4-5. A +1 BAB class getting the first iterative attack isn't half bad either. But, that...
