The only evil campaign I had that went well did so for a few reasons. We were all Priests of Cyric from one church in a city that didn't really like us, but couldn't just crush us. There were a lot of factions already in place to play with or against each other. The game mostly consisted of...

I've always liked AutoRealm, you can find it on SourceForge last time I looked.

Ran this during the week with five level 2s, a dwarf fight, human paladin, eladrin wizard, half-elf warlord and elf rogue. Having played their characters for a over a month (on preview rules) they fought well, with few mistakes. I didn't adjust the encounter and the two defenders both died...

Whisper Gnomes from Races of Stone get 30 foot move in their (large) bag of goodies while being a +0 ECL race by the book.

Gah, this reads like a list of what my group met on our last adventure. A lich, about 20 vampires, a ghost dragon, serval mobs of 5 or so bodaks at a time, spectres, wraiths, dread wraiths, amongst other undead. Oh, and some mindflayer and drow "ambassadors". The lich was killed five times...

Starting to play warhammer really blew my ratio when I bought a few 'cubes' of 36 d6 each. But I do have a lot of d20s as I provide dice for my whole group to use.

Actually the most abusive way I can see offhand is a cleric using this to to grab some of the wizard standbys, although with all the new domains maybe not as they seem to keep giving clerics more and more wizard spells.

Awakened Cat Psion, use the errated version of Dominate liberally. "Get Milk now!" "Open that can." "Lets go fishing." etc. :)

From memory the Protector from the MiniHB is only something like 2HD with +2LA for basically a guy with wings and a couple of SLAs per day. Oh, just also remembered they are of the good subtype. :o

Oh, and artificers with the armor enhancement infusions. At level 5 with 100gp components they can grant a +5 armor ability to anyone with a duration of 50 minutes. Most CR5 monsters have trouble with people getting DR15/magic. Reallly its just the top one that is the problem one as many...

If you don't want overwhelming tanks running around watch out for goliath barbarians with racial substitution levels. Throw in ferocious rage as well and you can have a ECL2 character that can reach 30 strength while being large size. Of course if you only have one fighter so its not...

Maybe the feat is just intended for specialist wizards to gain access back to a spell in a school they gave up? This would make the spell gained both a wizard spell and one that they normally could not learn.

Yeah, I didn't understand the complaints after I got a Cleric 1/ Bard 3 who ran around with a dire flail as a cohort. He jumped into combat despite his low AC and HP and the ensuing fight caused a near TPK, including my character at the time.

What about misdirection? Take a Warlock with fell flight who flies around throwing blasts and acting intimidating. Most creatures should attack him instead of you. Make sure you have a druid buddy who can reincarnate, you might get a bugbear. :)

I have always applied it following the normal maths rules: Multiplication (vulnerability) and/or division (passed save for half) then addition and/or subtraction (resistance).

Also if you have the Dracnomicon you can make dragoncraft dragonhide armor that is a category lighter and grants energy resistance. Although with the fairly small size of the dragon you are limited to what you can turn it into.

While I'm not a big proponent of animated shields in most cases they are better. Characters who can afford to use up the feats for both the two weapon fighting feats and the defense feats is are going to usually be fighters or maybe a two weapon ranger. If you are a caster and are using two...

GTWD also seems a very bad deal if your DM lets in animated shields as a character getting to these levels should be able to afford one and large animated shield +1 is 3 AC for no feats.

Extra speed is also great for adding to character survivability. I had a 3.0 Psion who was the last man standing out what were otherwise 5 TPKs because he could outrun the bad guys. Or at least the other characters. ;)
