Greathammer The Book of the Righteous by Green Ronin Publishing contains a Greathammer that is a 2-handed hammer, used by clerics of Korak. By the book it is 2d6 but could be 1d12 if you prefer. I wielded one with my last dwarven cleric and it beat heads left and right. Big hammers rock...

I am currently running a campaign with all dwarven PC's. For flavor, more than function, I have eliminated shortbows and longbows from their weapon choices, so they are reduced to crossbows, thrown weapons, and blackpowder weapons (houserule system). I had a player ask about the repeating...

Dwarven Nations Trilogy I base my vision of a typical Dwarven kingdom on the descriptions at the beginning of "The Covenant of the Forge" by Dan Parkinson (TSR, 1993). The city is located within the mountain and a fortified structure exists on the front of the mountain. For agriculture the...

Restraint I was a first-time DM when 3rd edition came out, running a mid-level, high power 2nd edition AD&D game. Converted I would have probably been using a 50 point buy system for my players. One of my players, the best role-player and DM friendly member of the group (other than myself)...

Dex leads to disappointing builds... I have a fellow player in one of my campaigns that had been playing an uber-archer(+5 Dex modifier) but for party balance decided to switch over to a melee-focused fighter. The party had a rogue (headed into Psionics) and a Dwarven cleric built for combat...

Are there any Bard variants around worth considering? I read the version in the PHB and it leaves me feeling a little flat. I've seen a few PrC in various sources that I like, but I want to make the starting class more interesting. I will be the DM for the campaign this bard will be available...

I need a little help with a character build. I had an archer character in my party that had to go away for various reasons. The player is now creating a level 8 melee focused fighter. His only book for race and class choices is PHB. He will not play an elf nor will he go towards a dwarf. No...

trade-off Multi-classing spellcasters has a few simple limitations as mentioned above. The most important one is knowing and accepting your role in the party. I keep seeing multi-class Wiz and Sor builds in these threads that just plain suck for casting ability. And they managed to dilute...

PC's as Crafters I kind of agree with Spatzimaus on this one. PC's can make great crafters depending on the game you play in. If your party hops from one dungeon to the next with little care for or interest in downtime, then playing a crafter is a huge waste of feats, skill points, and...

Someone already solved this... No need to house rule an armor ability. I'm stuck at work right now without my books, but there is an enhancement called "Ease" I think, which allows you to rest comfortably overnight in armor of any type. It is either a +1 bonus or +2 bonus enhancement. When I...

more then that... I would make it a +2 unless I read your post wrong. Could I use this to change a ranseur (reach and bonus to trip) into a longsword to fight the bandits, and then into a warhammer when the skeletons pop up, thus avoiding DR by weapon type? Every fighter in the game will want...

Not to get too particular I think "solid" in this case is the wrong choice of words by WotC. In reality, there is nothing in rope to shatter, so it would have no effect. Crystal, gems, and and other material that has some kind of rigid, fixed molecular structure could be shattered. Glass...

I did this with my cleric I was in the same position, having taken a level of fighter and two levels of cleric to reach third level. My DM allowed me to take the Brew potion feat, but I couldn't USE it until I reached caster level 3 at fourth level. Just another compromise. Unless you spent...

thanks for the info Thanks everyone for clearing this up for me. I rarely look at the SRD (bad gamer! Use all resources!) so I hadn't seen the correction to FRA. It does make more sense that way but I was only using the PHB and not reading all the tables correctly. As usual this board come...

I thought this would be a simple answer to find in the PHB, but I feel left in the dark as usual. I understand that a charge must be in a straight line, more than 10' and up to double your movement. Charge is considered an attack action or standard action for the round, not a full round...

Yes... I think. I think that is within the rules. I haven't read anything that expressly forbids that type of sacrificing for higher leveled meta-spells. My DM has said he will allow it. I finished a campaign last year using a spell point system and I gave them some freedom to do this. That...

Okay, so I read the quote from the SRD above but I still am unclear. It states that an off-hand weapon would suffer a penalty, which I understand because the whole weight of the buckler is on that arm. The SRD also indicates specifically that using a bow or crossbow does not incur this...

Archer PrC Short on time right now, but I would start my list with OotBI and follow that quickly with Deepwoods Sniper. And I would certainly forbid stacking those classes. It is a sick combo that a co-player is considering. He will be a demi-god at ftr5/OotBI 3/DWS 3. As for a low magic...

I'n my current campaign I am playing a Dwarven cleric who has the additional role as the "tank" for the party (Monk, Archer, Rogue, and Mage round out the party). Therefore I am looking ahead for ways to crank up my AC and I've seen many threads where fighters recommend dwarven plate. And why...
