I play for the sense of adventure, cooperation, and the thousands of pages of rules. I prefer a system with enough rules that when applied judiciously can be exploited to brilliant effect. I also like a D&D style games because I can play a character who's entire shtick is to make everyone else...

For my current PC I'd take a constitution bump ahead of all other things. But then again, I'm playing a HP monster PC. If I have to choice damage or AC, I'd choice damage because a dead monster doesn't hit any AC no mater how abysmal it is.

An alternate to hiring dwarf day laborers would be acquire a lyre of building for the bard to use. Pair this with the bard with significant ranks in knowledge architecture you have a one person building machine.

Well your right I did play fast and loose with the concept of slot less - a true slot less item would be an ioun stone. But the original concept is not all fluff, a horn allows the user to wear a head slotted item. Consider it the cool stuff you could wear on your head versus this silly helm...

I'd personally compare it to the horn of goodness. The horn cost 6500 gold and is slot less and grants magic circle against evil which is a more useful effect. I'd say 2 hours is functionally equivalent to all day for most adventurers so I'd price it at 5000. So I'd price it something like...

For a un-sexy feat toughness for a one-shot second level wizard can literally be the difference between life and death. Another possibility is protection devotion give yourself and all PCs within 30 feet a +2 sacred bonus to AC as an immediate action. Or perhaps Fey Heritage and Fey Skin for...

Humans being humans every generation or two decide that they should no longer toil for their physical betters. Giants are favored by the gods and are given the gift of strength and power unrivaled among the tiny folk. Even a giant child can rip a human's arms off. A few months ago rumors...

I played a character that got some great use out of the dampen spell feat which requires improved counter spelling. The feat is nice because it is an immediate action and for the cost of a spell provides the equivalent of an unnamed resistance bonus for the entire party. In high level play...

Another thing to consider is does the party have magic weapons. Without a magic weapon incorporeal creatures are almost impossible to beat. If the party does not have magic weapons consider scribing a scroll of the lowly magic weapon spell.

bard wizard any crazy multiclassed melee build I love a bard because they can make the entire party better. I love a wizard because they can shut down combat. I love multiclassed melee builds because it is fun to cherry pick abilities.

When did maggots start carrying swords? Your sword's dullness is only surpassed by your own My mother is twice the warrior than you, in her wheel chair Even your rotting corpse will smell better than your breath Egad, she is attacking us with a toothpick Next time try bringing a real weapon to...

Pub: The Staked Steak The pub is named after the owner's most notable accomplishment of hunting down and killing a Vampire Minotaur which was terrorizing a small island nation. The pub features a wide assortment of beef dishes and hearty red wines. The favorite dish of the locals is beef...

A cabal of gnomes is trying to increase the yields on livestock and developed a new alchemical formula that encourages fertility. The formula has proven to be effective at increasing fertility. They are still working on refining the formula and removing an unwanted side effect. The side...

How about? Disguise Self: look like a silver dragon Shatter: to collapse part of the ceiling on the party or destroy the key stone in a dam holding back a wall of water Gust of wind if the party has small creatures in it or cast behind a table full of acid flasks and alchemist fire Silent...

Actually, I believe Gandalf was a bard. His main talents lay in inspiring others and diplomacy with the occasional parlor trick thrown in. In the Hobbit he uses an illusion to remain invisible and cause trouble with the trolls. Against the great goblin he also uses his invisibility trick and...

I’d like to remove all social skills so all characters can interact with NPCs without fears of being asked to make a diplomacy roll. I think social skills make as much sense as a riddle skill, where a character can roll a d20 to answer the sphinx's riddle. The enchantment school of magic can...

One aspect about a siege is there is always too much to do. Consider Gandalf at Pelennor Fields, he turned the Witch King back from the gates but then had to choose between letting the Witch King continue his mischief or saving Faramir. An example of this could be: Resupply archers who...

I like it when a character can cast 6th level spells. I find giving up a 5th level slot to have one quickened 1st level spell isn't to expensive.

The leadership feat can attract a 4th lvl marshal follower who can Grant Move Action (Ex). Thus giving your PC an extra move action, but not once per round as requested. The limits on number of actions per round is a really important limiter on play in high level and gestalt play.

Perhaps you could explain clerics with a gambling analogy. Slot machines are more addictive because they have a variable payout. If a slot machine paid out 90 silver on every gold who would play them? The slot machine is addicting because people remember the big score rather than the slow...
