Holy moly. Thanks! The monk's belt above is (believe it or not) WAY outside the economic reach of the party right now, much less the Monk. Paying 3,000+ for the basic materials of +1 bracers of striking (1000+ basic item, +2000x2 enchantment, divided by two if party-made) is beyond his...

Interesting... This seems like the best option for what I want. I do have MoF and had not looked there. It's cost is 2x, still steep, but this should work. Don't have SS, but I can use the bracers above. Don't have the 3.5MM, but that sounds kind of cheesy for a human to take? I want to...

I am actually doing this, and awarding less gold, in my campaign - we're 20-odd sessions in (10th-12th level) and it's working wonderfully. The best weapon and armor held by anyone are +2, with no special enhancements. Only two stat-boosting items have been found. In adventures at this...

Greetings all. I'm playing a 5th level monk / 5th level tattooed monk and would appreciate some advice. It's a fairly low-magic campaign. I chose to go high-dex with him, but am becoming frustrated with his inability to do much damage in combat. For what it's worth, the other party members...

Do any of you guys use the toughness feats from MOTW? One of the fighters in my party has taken dwarf, then giant, then a few dragon's toughness feats and has more HP than any other two party members put together. The best thing that character does for the party? He runs in first, takes the...

Caliban - Are you sure this is right? How 'bout the rest of you? In the second bunch of options, you're no longer making grapple checks - you're attacking while grappled, but it's still an attack check, not a grapple check. Thus, it seems that it would have normal "attack" characteristics...

I can pretty much assure you that if I were playing a fighter, I would take this feat *a ton*. Assuming that it's on the fighter feat list, my feats would probably be something like this for a human fighter. H1 - wpn foc: greatsword L1 - power attack F1 - cleave F2 - sunder L3 -...

If I understand 3.0 grappling correctly: General rules: • Trying provokes an AOO – if AOO works, grapple fails. • Make a touch attack to initiate the grapple. • Make opposed attack rolls on BAB + STR + size modifier. If successful, opponent is held. • While grappling, you lose DEX bonuses...

Hyp, I love you :) Usually I read these forums at work, where I can not post due to some firewall issue. So I only post on the rare weekends where I get on the boards b/c of some house rule I'd like discussed in that board. But I've wanted to point one thing out for a while. For me, once Hyp...

Well, now, that's a fair point :). In my defense, I wanted to be complete, and showed both styles with and without power attack for completeness. And in my campaigns, I've never seen yet a non-rogue melee fighter that didn't have at least a 13 str, so I may be biased by experiences that...

As always, thanks for your comments. Re 1), I’ve mentioned above the difficulty in creating a “balanced” AC adjustment – it’s not as easy / accurate / precise as you might think. Check up the page a little bit - if you don't understand or disagree with my reasoning in that post, let's...

Well, here was my first thought: Anybody who wishes to can "save" attacks from their turn to use as blocks later in the round - and if you don't get attacked, you just lose the action. And, to help shield-wielders, they get a free one. Then, per the first comment above, there actually might...

Greetings all. I've gotten such great feedback from you guys in the past that I thought I'd run a new house rule by you. The Situation: I have two fighters in the party I'm DMing, with roughly equivalent BAB and strength bonuses. One of them uses a greatsword (we'll call him GS), one a...

Rogue all the way! I had to vote rogue. First of all, it's the class with the most skill points, and (to me) the most interesting skill set. When the party needs a scout, it's you (hide, move silently). When you walk into a room, you're the one who is going to notice stuff (spot, listen)...

Aw, come on, guys. Somebody in Charlotte MUST want to be in, like, the most fun 3E game ever. I'll have my players post how good it is if that'll help <g>.

Sounds promising! I live just south of downtown - maybe a mile or two south of I-277. Probably 20 minutes from UNCC, 30 minutes from Concord. So not next door, but not that bad either. Thanks for your interest (even on behalf of your friends). PS: Old One - uh, interesting nick - I was...

The Request: We’re looking for one (or maybe two) new player for a Greyhawk campaign in Charlotte, NC. We currently have three players involved and feel that increasing that number to four (or maybe five) would liven up sessions. Group Basics: Our sessions are on weeknights from 7pm-11pm...

3.5 SRD I'd like to review the 3.5 SRD before I decide whether to purchase the new core books, but I can't get to the wizards site at work. Is there a non-gaming-site mirror somewhere, or a Word/RTF document I could grab somewhere? Thanks for any help you can provide.

Well, otherwise you'd be welcome to commute from KC :). It's just the type of campaign we're running. We've played 13 sessions and so far we've fought a few orcs and seen (but not fought) a half-ogre at one point. We've run into a few elves. Other than that, just us humans bickering under...

Here are some of my house rules. We still play 3.0, and I'm amazed how many of these changes have been made (or similarly made) in 3.5. Probably the most controversial thing will the limitation on what classes are available. It's my way of making sure that magic stays low in this campaign...
