The solution is clear--min/max the most powerful character you can think of (see the Sultans of Smack thread in the Rules forum if you want help for this) then execute his character in the most painful manner possible. Yes, you will be strengthening his arguments about you not being a...

If you really want the Barbarian's Rage ability, and your DM is allowing prestige classes, you might consider the Singh Rager from Oriental Adventures. They're a powerful class...in addition to the aforementioned Rage, you'll get Lion's Pounce (full attack at the end of a charge) and Swiftness...

As always, I recommend checking Rotten Tomatoes (http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/TheScorpionKing-1112339/) before seeing a movie of dubious repute :). It's rarely wrong.

Keep in mind a D&D setting can have much larger armies than a medieval one. Problems which traditionally plagued historical armies would become much less of a problem with a little divine magic. For example: 1. Feeding the army, even in hostile terrain, could be accomplished with spells like...

If you have access to Masters of the Wild, there is a prestige class that'll solve your problem perfectly...the Shifter. You'll be able to wade into combat with beefy forms like the Iron Golem, get around with flight, swimming, burrowing and other weird travel forms, and in general have a shape...

I'll probably just wait for the 4-disc set...but I'm concerned about what Nobeard said. If the extra scenes suck (unlikely, I admit) can I turn them off and watch the original release? If not, I might have to buy both, or just the 2-disc set. Yes, I have faith in Peter Jackson. But then, I had...

When rolling to confirm a critical, it is my understanding that a natural 20 on the confirmation roll is not an automatic hit. My question is, is a natural 1 an automatic miss on the confirmation roll?

The 7th-level spell Forcecage and the 8th-level spell Maze both allow no save or spell resistance. They'll incapacitate the Solar for a while. However, teleportation will allow the Solar to escape from Forcecage and Maze can be overcome with Plane Shift...both spells the Solar can cast by using...

I think many people have problems with the implementation of the AoO rules, rather than the concept. For example, look at the number of special cases where you don't get AoOs: 1. Your only movement is a 5-foot step. 2. You double move...this only prevents an AoO from leaving the square you...

Perhaps this feat is a must-have for some classes--the rogue springs to mind, as the first-round sneak attack can be crucial. Powerful spellcasters can also benefit greatly from this feat, as a well-placed spell can end the battle before it begins. On the other hand, I haven't seen a huge...

Like Doc M, I wouldn't want to see forum fragmentation. I'm simply too lazy to click on many different forum listings continuously...I'd prefer things to stay like as they are, where lots of different ideas can stay in the same place and cross-pollinate with each other. Of course, if you'd just...

Hi, I have a few rules questions about the Singh Rager prestige class from Oriental Adventures: 1. Does the Lion's Pounce (Ex) ability allow the full attack option at the end of any charge (including partial charges) or just a regular charge? 2. How much time does it take to activate Swiftness...

A few more balancing factors for TWF (double weapons in particular): * Weapon Specialization applies to both ends of the weapon...this is like an extra 2 damage above and beyond what you would get with a 2-handed weapon. * Double the weapons, double the frost, flaming, and icy...

I have to disagree here. Unintentionally or not, FR does raise the power level...especially for spellcasters. Witness the Archmage, Incantantrix, or the Spellcaster Prodigy feat for some examples. Less potential for abuse than the splatbooks? Perhaps. Certainly, the non-wizard PrCs don't...

Something I've found works well is to allow each player to make a new character once per campaign, no questions asked. Only allow new characters beyond this in exceptional circumstances. In my experience, players will not suicide frivolously with this rule in place...but if they really hate...

Cool. As long as Salvatore keeps the series faithful to his novels' style and isn't afraid to go with long story arcs I am very optimistic about this series.

I'm still a little bit confused. Are you saying these books are good? :D Yeah, I'll read them...but how many is the author planning to write in the series? For me, the fewer the better.

Throne of Bhaal is a classic...but make sure to download the "Romance Patch" so you can mack on all three of the love interests at the same time!

The higher Fort save is also handy.

WF/WS are incredible feats. Think of them as being a permanent +4 to Strength (with 1 less to hit). Improved Critical is like a permanent Keen enchantment on a weapon, which is made even better by the fact that it can stack with Keen. Most of the melee-types in my campaigns take 4 levels of...
