    Starting Gold

    I'm not too sure whether I've been looking in the right areas, but I cannot for the life of me find any charts or description in the SRD's for a characters starting gold, or starting gold for characters that are of a higher level. My question is is that is there anywhere on the internet (or...

    Cheating - who cares?

    Cheating's always been a touchy subject. For my players I choose not to tolerate it. I won't kick them out or anything like that, but they are chastised by their actions with in game uses of "Karma" somewhere down the road. It's never leathal but either embarrasing to the character or...

    What Happened to '[Insert 1E/2E Spell Name Here]'?

    I actually miss the origional Chromatic orbs also. They were very versatile, even though their damage was piddley. Another spell that I do miss that was a particular favourite was Lance of Disruption. Can't remember which book it came out of, but it was a 3rd lvl spell that did 5d4 +2hp/lvl...

    Help a Paladin in need!

    :D Don't lose your faith. Try to see it from your characters perspective. Are the gods gone forever? Or is it a test to the faithful? Keep you paladian as faithful as he/she has always been even with the lack of powers, when the gods do return*, your patron would recognize your loyalty and...

    Half Orc + Half Dwarf?

    :confused: A Dorf eh? That kids gotta have issues. You'll have to make him Chaotic Neutral at the best of times. I'd hate to have his childhood, Ostracised, shunned, and ridiculed if raised by Dwarves, and most likley eaten if raised by Orcs. But hey, it's not easy being green.

    Have you ever played an old character?

    Out of a need to try something different. I got to play Kauffman a 72 year old sage (expert 13) from Candlekeep. He was a little higher than the rest of the group because of his drawbacks (they were 7-9) but it was well balance dout. He worked really well with the party considering he's an...

    On of my PCs is going INSANE! Advice needed.

    I dunno about the +2 vs enchantments and compulsions. I would assume someone with unstable and erratic behaviour would be a little easier to tip over the edge, even moreso with magic to give that extra 'push'. Perhaps give him something like Unorthadox fighting which could perhaps not allow...

    16th level Paladin Archer?

    It probably could be done, but you or your DM may have to create or readjust a prestige class to cater to the direction you want to take. The easiest would be to take the Arcane archer class and tweak that a bit.

    Favorite Familiars or Animal Companions

    A friend of mine had a large (size of a cat) black Scorpion as a familiar. His name was clacker. It was actually pretty fun to have. He would not have traded him in even for a psuedodragon.

    So a Keen Rapier Crits on....

    I think the reason why they omitted the Stacking thing is that other players were using other keen enableing abilities to add to the stacking, such as psionic effects and such. A player I knew tinkered with all the possibilities so his rapier would crit on a 5-20, I can't remember exactly what...

    Please confirm if characters must choose feat when they get it?

    I tend to allow banking of skillpoints & feats as an option to allow the game/story flow. For example if one were to keep a few skill points open, then if the opportunity arises during the game such as an NPC willing to teach a certain skill or give knowledge that the PC would like to learn...

    Between a rock and a hardplace

    :D Great minds think alike! This would make for an interesting game eh?

    You know you're playing too much when. . .

    I know there's a street in Edmonton that's called Valhalla Drive...I've always wanted to live there just because. Whatever his levels are, I'm sure he's got a whopping good sneak attack. .

    Best race for sorcerer?

    :D Kobolds are just cool man. If you're playing for fun and to add an interesting element to the game rather than maxing out the best of this and best of that to create a stereotypical (Place class here). I'd rather have Snark Nipplebiter in our group rather than Hobo the Halfling. ;)...

    What's your DM Gimmick?

    :heh: There was a DM of mine who no matter what town/city you were in. There was always a seedy run down tavern that bore the title of 'The Hanging Clitoris'. :lol: I guess it must be a successful franchise. He also always used the Travelling Merchant "Honest Achmed" too, which was quite...

    Annoying Elves

    :confused: OMG, I've had players like that. It can really go two ways: one way is that it's good role playing and it makes the story interesting. One player of mine loved elves, but as soon as any PC, or NPC (non elf of course) would talk to him, you're immediately looking at him through his...

    Between a rock and a hardplace

    :] That's a sweet idea. Nice conundrum to pit the PC's against. As for the Greater good, I'm sure the Paladin can use a bit of trickery though. If the Paladin were to do some research to find a magic item, like a helm of opposite alignment go on a quest for it, and then set things up where...

    Ideas for Rogue in Heavy Armor

    :] If you're decked out in heavy Clanky armor, perhaps maxing out your Bluff skill then make sure you take: IMPROVED FEINT You can then make a Bluff check to feint in combat as a move action, and get your sneaks in face to face by Dekeing your opponent.

    Best race for sorcerer?

    Gnome was my first thought on the question too. You do get the Strength penalty, but you do get the extra con...extra HP is always welcome when you roll 1d4 for HP. Other than that you get all of the other special qualities that a Gnome would aquire: - +2 racial bonus on saving throws...
