    Tips for Dragon Disciple build?

    I have seen a Fighter 1 / Hexblade 4 / DD x do very well running around in heavy armor with full BAB and hp before entering the class gives a very strong tank fighter that had almost no spell casting.

    Dumb-ass question of the day: is there a dire rabbit anywhere?

    And what is worse is if you feed the cute little bunny some carrots and he gains a HD, look at the advancement....

    New Server Drive - donation and prize thread (Final total: $13,310!)

    I think whats wanted more than a photo of the new servers is a webcam showing them in place so people can watch them work. :D If they got stolen I wonder how many emails the Police would receive with attached photos. :)

    Do you have a website for your campaign?

    I keep all of my campaign notes in a very handy little tool called Treepad which is like a combination of a note pad and a file structure. It can also export out to a webpage quite nicely meaning that updating is almost no effort beyond keeping my own notes up to date. :)

    Are the Warforged underpowered?

    I've played a warforged for a while now and would consider them a strong +0LA race. The healing disadvantage is less a problem once you start to buy wands of Repair Light Injuries which mages can use as well.

    Technical thread for Server Discussion (merged)

    Oh? I have seen nothing that indicates Opteron are anything but 64 bit processors that can also do 32bit. Just like the the Athlon FX. From what I have read the Athlon FX is basically a cut down Opteron 100 series (less HyperTransport links) that runs faster than the current 100 series does in...

    Technical thread for Server Discussion (merged)

    Just to toss in my voice to those above championing the twin processors... I use opterons at work as well and those things fly as server processors, in fact we have one as a SQL box. :) Also if you have two processor heavy applications like PHP and SQL then twin processors are the way to go...

    Does the Trapsense ability, for a Rogue, come into play in this situation?

    Just to add a voice to the "traps can be dangerous" was the last place my party cleared was a liches tower and his main treasure was stashed in three chests, each with a Wail of the Banshee trap on it. I was very happy to have the cleric sitting behind me with a revivify incase I failed my...

    Is it common for players to powergame?

    Powergaming can also happen in response to the DM killing or near killing players repeatedly. Nobody likes to die, so they take steps to make it harder. Of course then the DM can end up just making everything just that little bit harder again ...

    Dealing with defeated vampires

    I wish I had this suggestion back a few weeks ago when my party destroyed 30 vampire coffins without the vampires being able to reintegrate for us to loot...

    Humanoids

    I am not sure about Ogres or Ettins but would guess they are both culled from general folklore on big brutish man like creatures that generally like eating people. Ogre Mages look very much like the oriental Oni with a westernized name.

    Advice on running an amnesia storyline

    I have run an amnesia campaign and it lets you put all sorts of funky things into the plot. :) Like the characters are clones of a band of powerful adventurers who ascended to godhood, then recently a new band of gods just bumped off the old gods activiting the clones. The feedback from the...

    Humanoids

    I think the Gith were created for DnD and first appeared in the original Fiend Folio. As a side note about the Monsterous Humanoid, Humanoid and Giant part. Goliaths from Races of Stone are 1HD Monsterous Humanoids, while the almost identical Half-Giants are 1HD Giants.

    How do you organize your gaming collection?

    Less used books get put on book shelves organized by game then company (for d20). Commonly used stuff like the core 3.5 books sit in a pile that gets lugged between the kitchen table (for playing) and my computer. A books worth is measured by its weight along with how much it's used. :D

    Using a 2-Handed Weapon in One Hand

    Yep. My reading is that everyone needs to use an appropriatly sized reach weapon to get reach. The rest is an example of how a large creature gets its reach increased. Strictly speaking I am not aware of the appropriate part being anywhere else, so its a judgement call on whether you think an...

    Using a 2-Handed Weapon in One Hand

    No, but then my answer was to Darklone who was asking about appropriate sizing, not how far the reach extends.

    Some Ideas for a "Useless" Character

    I had a similar character with Use Magic Device and I made lots of friends by getting a wand of Snakes's Swiftness and using that in combat when I couldn't do much else. Its a 1st level Druid/2nd level Wizard spell from the Minis Handbook that grants the target one more attack instantly. Why...
