    Tips for a starting druid

    My DM is a pretty easy-going guy who wouldn't use my animal companion against me, and if I'm fond of him, will work with me to keep it cool and in the game. I'm the sort that would probably rather try to make my companion cooler instead of getting a cooler companion. I guess the question is...

    Aspect of Nature variant rules

    This ties into my other thread about my new character: http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?p=3593203#post3593203/ My question here is: has anyone used the "Aspect of Nature" Wild Shape variant from UA? What do you think of it? Any houserules or tweaks you use to improve or nerf it? You can...

    Tips for a starting druid

    I've got a character I'm working on for an upcoming campaign (we just concluded our 7-year D&D campaign from 1st through 20th level, and we're starting a new one in about a month), and I'm looking for some ideas and advice. He's going to be a 1st-level Lizardfolk: poison dusk druid. I'm about...

    Magical Cosmetic Surgery

    I'm going to give a simple answer: I think that people will go to similar lengths that people do today to appear young and beautiful. Hats, or other items of Disguise would be utilized often, and often never taken off. Scrolls would be bought by adepts and 1st level casters for this purpose, and...

    Crafting poison

    So, I'm thinking of utilizing poison with my new character. He's a Lizardfolk: Poison Dusk, so I thought I'd take advantage of his racial ability to not poison himself by accident. Using the core crafting rules, IIRC means some poisons take over 50 years to craft, based on their price. Does...

    To Whirlwind or not to Whirlwind?

    So, I'm working on a character that specializes in fighting with a staff. No, I'm the other guy building the staff character. My dilema is simple: A human fighter gets 19 feats over the course of his non-epic career, and I want about 50. I need to make some hard decisions. This is what I want...

    Lightly Armoured, Martial Q-staff Fighter Ideas

    Ironically, I am working on pretty much the exact same concept right now. Weird... So, my advice is this: First, I wouldn't take any levels in monk. It's been my experience that they don't stack well with anything else, and unless you specifically want monk powers, it's a waste of levels. Half...

    Expertise in combat expertise?

    If you don't mind giving up a little damage, you can use a staff and take Quick Staff from the Complete Warrior. Basically, it gives you an extra +2 AC when using Combat Expertise with your staff. You can also take Two-Weapon Fighting and Two-Weapon Defense (and the Improved and Greater versions...

    Lizardfolk: Poison Dusk druid critique

    Thanks for the input Neo. I'll look into the feat. Perhaps my DM will allow it or a variant of it. I'm still considering INA eventually, but a simple die-step in damage doesn't seem worth it to me, since most high-damage attacks get most of their points from bonuses than dice. In my particular...

    Is my 15th Level half-orc monk broken?

    My 19th level monk is doing about the same damage with Improved Natural Attack, etc... I think you're where you want to be. Sounds like you've specialized your character a bit, sacrificing the saves on your stunning fists, etc. Sounds like a perfect Half-orc Monk to me :) I'd also like to...

    Optimizing my Poison Dusk Druid

    I'm planning a Lizardfolk: Poison Dusk Druid for my next D&D campaign. We're starting at level one. Since the LF:PD has LA +1 I don't know if that means my DM wants me to start classless or not. I'll post what I have worked out so far when I get home from work, but I'm looking for any ideas to...

    I ordered from Fantasy Flight Games and...

    Actually, I happen to be the guy who handle's the online store from Fantasy Flight Games. I started June 1st, toward the end of our big sale. We were FLOODED with online orders for about a week, and a few orders ended up falling through the cracks. I'm not sure exactly how it was missed, but...
