It is true that many racial personality traits are soceitally driven, and not genetic, but who's to say wrath, greed and pride aren't predisposed racial traits? The founders ask themselves that often when dealing with Voil. Voil is 22 years old, one of the earlier children raised by the...

At 15th level my DM suggested I take Leadership as my feat. I chose a wizard/loremaster as my cohort, and together we developed a backstory that pretty much designed her as an artificer. She doesn't adventure with my group, but does cast extended spells before we set out, and works on creating...

I noticed that, but why does it have 4 skill points to distribute? A raven has 7 skill points distributed. A rat has 2 skill points distributed. A toad has 4 skill points distributed. A weasel has 10 distributed skill points. They all have the same Int of 2 (well, toad has an int of 1). I...

In the example of Indiana Jones I would see him as rolling a d20 on that attempt and failing, simple as that. He was guessing the idol's weight, tossed off a bit of sand without measuring or making any real calculations. He was going on instinct (d20), and experience (ranks in kn(archeology) or...

ok So if that means that a 7th level wizard's familiar goes from an effective 7 HD to 8 HD when the wizard levels to 8, how is that not advancing in hit dice? I suppose in this respect it's more an arguement of what exactly an "effect" is. Actually, in all the animal listings I've found, they...

Now, I'm guessing since I can't find it anywhere that they don't, but do familiars gain skill points as they advance? This states that the familiar can have ranks in a skill, though I've seen no actual circumstance where that is the case. Seeing as how familiars are intelligent and are...

The current campaign I'm in has a monk/rogue, a druid and I play a barb/fighter. Tanking is no prob for me, I've been very lucky on my hp rolls these last 14 levels. I've also had little trouble dealing massive amounts of damage. The monk does very well at manuevering the battlefield and...

I'm actually not big on the AC part either, but I wanted to find a way to make this as interesting for a light weapon weilding PC as a 2-handed wielder. If anyone has a suggestion as to what to put in place of the Parrying Defense, I'm all ears.

Getting some ideas from the PHBII feats, I put together a feat I'd like to use for a fighter/barbarian in a campaign I'll be picking up again soon. I like the idea of Tactical feats, it seems there are alot of combat manuevers that should be available but aren't, and each alone would be a waste...

Good point. Still, I could see a mindflayer and an aboleth having that sort of advantage, but for a 5th level familiar(essentially) it seems a bit much. I feel the flavor of Telepathy would be improved by this change, the limitation of its usefulness won't matter too much with the addition of...

I've been running a Psionics game, and last session, we came across two rules questions: 1. Can a soulknife manifest a mindblade when his power point reservoir is empty? 2. Can a character hold a psionic focus when his power point reservoir is empty? I've looked, but could not find an answer...

I've been running a Psionics game, and though all of us (DM and players) are fairly new to psionics, its been going well. We've been having a bit of a conflict over the telepathic abilities of a psicrystal. We have a 5th level Psion who was going to use his psicrystal to telepathically...

I'm playing a Barbarian/Fighter in a group thats woefully short of charm. As such, my intimidate skill has been one of our few tools in dealing with people. Though I've spent alot of points in the skill, I'm getting a bit annoyed with my hesitation to use it in combat. Demoralize taking a...

Well, thats where the DM told us it was... so I guess there must have been this tectonic activity of which you spoke. My character plans to buy a hundred or so gp worth of mining equipment, things equvalent to wheelbarrows, shovels, picks, etc... as well as items with which he can build a forge...

Right, I realize that now. Profession: Smith is a fairly ridiculous idea mechanically, but I was taking my skills based on flavor, and I wanted the character to follow a bit in his father's footsteps. That meant taking up te "profession" of being a smith. I should have read the skill...

Alot of good info has come up, but not exactly what I was looking for. The heart of the matter is, does a PC with a profession that suggests the crafting of things, such as profession; jeweler, blacksmith, baker, alchemist, etc... actually have the ability to craft those things, or does he need...

Its not free. I'm paying a decent chunk of change for extraneous mining equipment as well as material to build a forge nearby. Yes, there is an amount of greed involved. If I had no greed, I wouldn't be interested in mining the mithral in the first place, would I? After the butting of heads...

I'm not sure the size as far as volume of mithral per cubic foot, but the vein is several miles long, running very near the surface, and sometimes protruding from the surface of a mountain wall. I agree with you here, but I think the DM was leaning towards hand waving this under Profession...

The same character in my How much ore... thread is thinking about making a few bits of armor. I had taken ranks in Profession: Smith to give my character a little synergy boost to his stonecunning and understanding of metals and such, and now I'm thinking I might him to craft a few items using...

... if a half elemental could mine ore? I'm playing in a campaign set in Najoban, which is an Africa flavored setting. The DM has mandated that the only PC race is Wakyambi (African Elf) but has allowed for half breeds with local orisha (magical humanoids of varying characteristics). Hence my...
