Bront - Well, you are basically going to do 1 level of damage* less than a full Two Weapon Fighting character in exchange for 1 extra AC if you are using a heavy shield. If you are using a light shield, you will just lose 1 level of damage. This is because the Two Weapon Fighter can get Two...

Or make it like what I did to the Druid Wildshape ability. You only get the healing part of the shapechanging once a day, regardless of number of times you shapechange. You get to choose when to apply the healing ability, though. I made that rule when one of my PCs started shapechanging 2-4...

Provided that the exterior of the globe is well-lit, then yes, the person in the globe will not suffer any ill-effects. It is like shooting at someone holding a torch in the dark of night.

From a purely power point of view, there isn't much that a Sorceror can be without giving up progression. Even with a rule of allowing you up to 20 levels of spell progression regardless of character level (so that a 10/20 Fighter/Sorceror will have the same spells per day as a 30 Sorceror)...

POL - I feel your pain. Wait until you get a Half-Giant Ranger with two large longswords And walk into battle doing 6x 2d6+strength at level 11...... As for the Bastard Sword (how I HATE that accursed name), I would say that it is a 2hd weapon. Therefore, a small character cannot use it...

For all those people that seem to like to insist that I am powergaming, THIS is powergaming (from the 3 core books only): Half-Celestial/Wood-Elf Ranger/Sorceror/Dragon Disciple (Gold) 9/1/10 Str +14 Con +4 Dex +4 Int +2 Wis +4 Cha +6 Resistances (10/): Cold, Acid, Lightning Immunity: Fire...

Mistwell - Maybe you should read the entire thread. I did NOT want my wife to be a half-Celestial OR a Celestial. HE changed her to a Celestial. I chose Half-Celestial myself because that is the only way I can think of to fit my character history into his campaign setting (I don't know anything...

SadSam - If you have a high Dex, Disintegrate is always a good choice. Otherwise, Chain Lightning is great since it is target specific (no what is now called collateral damage). With your Energy Affinity, you get it in Acid as well. For fifth level, Cone of Cold is a staple, as is Cloudkill...

Seetan - No. She gets to advise us from time to time IF I take the feat. She stays at home to look after the apothecary. I wanted to start one of my own and let her be in charge of it when I go adventuring (that was part of the original backstory). He nixed it and says there is too many of...

RigaMortus2 - Now that you mention it, in that game with my screwed up Sorceror, HE is playing a Bard/Barbarian/Fighter 5/1/2 with Spike Chain, Combat Reflexes, Combat Expertise, Power Attack, Disarm, Trip. And HE is calling me a munchkin..... Seetan - He wants me to take the Leadership feat...

Seeten - He will allow classes in the Player Handbook and Psionics Handbook only, so Artificer is out (unless Artificer is in the Psi Handbook? This shows how much I know). Also, no Prestige Classes. He also said there will be about 50% combat and 50% social interaction. That practically means...

KaeYoss - I don't know if I will go that far. I can see where you are coming from, but I have played with him as a DM before, although it was in a World of Darkness system. The thing is, he wasn't like that in that system. Only in this system, for some bizarre reason. Yes, he rolled my stats...

Particle Man - I wasn't going to do it. It was just something idiotically funny that occured to me. It is funnier because that is EXACTLY what happened to one of the player's character in another campaign that I wasn't involved in. HE was the Half-Dragon/Orge Fighter in question and let us just...

Thanee - Thanks. I guess it is pure Fighter for me then. Ranger, Paladin and Monk all need multiple good stats. There is already a Rogue/Bard in the party, and frankly, I don't play them very well. Hmm... I suppose I can be an absolute total donkey about things and play a low Wisdom Fighter with...

Thanee - That wouldn't work with this group. The word "sheep" was coined with them in mind. They'd go with the current DM, so it would have to be me creating a useless character and having to grin and bear it all the way, or leaving the game altogether. Am I that desperate? LOL! That is a good...

Seeten - Actually, I would see him taking 2 levels in it for Evasion instead of 1 IF he wishes to powergame like that. I play spellcaster stats different from most people. The highest stat ALWAYS go into Dex. This helps in a LOT of spellcaster related stuff: initiative, AC, ranged touch attack...

Diirk and Thanee - He didn't read it that way. Because the Archmage specifically said "spells known" as well, he ruled that since the Eldritch Knight did not say so, he doesn't get it. He doesn't have problems with healing. He allows Paladins and Rangers and Bards, even Druids. He just don't...

It isn't so much the scraping, it's the fact that he don't want another spellcaster because (get this), we'd both end up with the same spells anyway. :confused: Also, it is highly frustrating to have a DM that keep changing the rules on you. I got that from my previous DM as well. Created a...

Hi there. I'm a new guy on these forums, but I have been playing RPGs for years. Currently, I have a DM that is giving me fits. Let me explain the situation: In an experimental campaign that he ran under the World of Darkness system, he was pretty open to ideas and character creation concepts...
