    Can a dozen orcs challenge a 17th level party?

    not nessisarly... but more or less if one spots they all spot.. I would like to think that I created that plan with my hands tied. Smart Orcs able to present a challenge would be smart enough not to do it without having a horde behind them or would be of higher level.. Thats why I aluded to...

    Can a dozen orcs challenge a 17th level party?

    Yes, they would hear the orc chanting but thats 'one orc'. The others would remain invisible and the Catapult would be fired as a ready action based on the chanting. The DM could make it out to be some kind of war cry or similar and not have it be so obvious that its a Bardic Music Ability. The...

    Can a dozen orcs challenge a 17th level party?

    Okay... you want to find a way to make it at least a little bit bothersome for the characters to take em on. here's an idea I've been formulating since I read this post yesterday. Now Since the party hasent been around to ruin their plans who's to say these Orc's havent been able to become a...

    Dragonshard is out.

    I've bought it and played it up through the 4th mission. Its been pretty fun though it lags a little at times when things get really busy but thats fairly normal depending on your hardware. A Few things however. I Had that same problem with the AutoPlay as well.. simple use explorer and...

    I want to keep watching "Bones" but it is bugging me.

    *puts on a t-shirt with a bulls-eye target on it* I actually enjoy Bones and for many of the same reasons I love House. What I suspect many are complaining are annoying I'm finding fun. Its entertaining. Ep 1 I admit was better than 2 but it was still nice in my mind. I love the exchanges they...

    Could the Live Transformers Movie Herald...

    I second the idea of a battletech movie... the intro's to some of the battletech computer games were very nice. Expcially the one where the guy in a Vulture gets pounded on majorly by several other mechs including I belive a Nova and an Uziel I think (that one was nice cause they dident rehash...

    Weapons of Legacy: Balancing levelled items

    I agree their too.. I've got two that I'm brain storming... one for that Half-Orc TANK I mentioned earlier... though its gonna be alot more complicated.. and a more simple one that uses the interchangable rules to make a weapon with changable socketed powers. Thanks for looking into the item...

    Weapons of Legacy: Balancing levelled items

    That item wasent that bad Merric.. very nice... I too have made a item from WoL though one of the things I think is whats sapposed to make WoL interesting is that its not all just about making hte biggest baddest weapon you can get. Its about history and investing in your character. Thats I...

    DM's and Rules Lawyers - How Would You Rule this Deadly Situation?

    colored text taken from the SRD Moving through a Square Friend: You can move through a square occupied by a friendly character, unless you are charging. When you move through a square occupied by a friendly character, that character doesn’t provide you with cover. Opponent: You can’t move...

    Reach weapon and AOO

    I once played a fighter that weilded a Glaive. Human Fighter with a solid str and dex with Combat Reflexes. Expecially at low levels This proved to be devistating as a batch of dire rats would charge and get killed one after another, move onto the next room. the DM after two three rooms of this...

    Greatest Insult to a D&D PLAYER (OOC)

    I think the bile phrase for me is being called a munchkin.. on par with powergamer but in some ways its worse. I suspect its cause Munchkin churns up images of rules breakers where powergamer in comparison stay mostly within the rules.

    D&D Metagame - 148 classes, 608 prestige classes

    I generally allow most any WotC book in my games. I say most cause their are some things I dont like or have house rules for. But who doesnts? Consider for a moment however that many of those core classes are mostly minor varients or are racial substitution levels and completly optional or...

    Faerunian Warforged?

    perhaps it could be explained in the same manner that Death is traumatic. raise dead and such create level loss when you die. Perhaps the method to which to bind these 'stolen souls' results in a similar effect. perhaps its not one soul that is used but several. Maybe the soul is distilled of...

    Summoner help

    Consider replacing some of the monsters on the monster-summon list with other monsters utilizing equallent Level Adjustment templates. I created a 1st level Human Cleric with the Summoning domain and then poured through all my books looking for templates on par with what what the Planner...

    Eberron novels?

    I agree about Keith and City of Tower's. I truely felt a tie to the characters and got sucked into the story like only a really good book can do. It felt 'real' and made Eberron and more importantly Sharn come alive. Marked for Death was rather disapointing, it seemed choppy and well... seemed...

    Interesting fighter builds

    not familiar with the C&C rules your refering to ... maybe I'm just missing something. Anyways. a Female Fighter as you described might do well with the Pike fighter I described earlier. The premise of a 'reach' weapon to keep people at a distance and making up for with speed what they might...

    Interesting fighter builds

    A note, just FYI... Grey Elves are actually in the Monster Manual and Dragon Desciple in the DMG. That asside.... you could always have a but of fun with: Exotic Weapon Prof: Whip, Two Weapon Fighting, Weapon Finesse. Then find or commision yourself a pair of magical whips with the Shocking...

    Warforged Bonus languages

    Warforged War Mages with Mithril Body. This to me is actually an ideal combo and fits in with fluff as well I would think.

    Interesting fighter builds

    One of my all-time favorites is my Great Axe weilding Wild Elf Fighter/Sorcerer/Dragon Disciple. or more Specifically: Fighter4/Sorcerer1/DragonDisciple#. Its possible w/o having an insanly high INT score by taking the Education feat a 1st level, being a 'knowledgable fighter' taking...

    Arrow Types for 3rd ed.?

    Assorted books have alternate arrows and bullets. the ones I can call off the top of my head is Race's of the Wild which include new Arrows and I think it is Races of Stone that has the assorted alchemy sling bullets.
