The Bear warrior (from CW) makes an interesting prestige class. Being a barb is not a pre-req for the PrC, but the style definitely fits it well.

I can understand that you're trying to make the weapon useful to PC's again, and allowing it to ignore natural armor is defintely one way to do it. As I tried to show earlier, The main part of the AC's of higher level bash-type monsters is NA, just as a high level fighters AC comes from his...

Make X as large as your cleric buddy thinks he can handle. Still, i can see it as an unusual way for an evil cleric to gain a bunch of wights he can (hopefully) command. Just as long as he's > lvl 1.

The guy that wants this is the Spiked-chain-combat-reflexes-improved-trip-monkey. I had a PC IMC who had the party cleric cast Enlarge person (from Str domain) on him, and the effects are scary. As to the item though, the bonuses truly come to this : +0 to hit, +1 to damage (or possibly +2 w/...

What i believe he means is this : Per RAW, Brilliant Energy does not ignore Natural Armor. If you made Brilliant Energy = Touch Attack, it would. The problem I see with this is that it would become a much more useful enchantment in the hands of the PC's. To compare it against some opponents that...

Ah ah ah.. but you're not allowed to make "unarmed attacks" in a FoB, only "unarmed strikes". I think that you are reading way too much into the words "attack" and "strike". What WoTC needs to do is print a PHB where they only use one word to describe one thing. That would make for a pretty...

True Strike only lasts one round, so you would need to cast it on the third round of study. It'd be nice to be invisible too...

nope. Metal Armor doesnt actually hinder the druid, it just violates vows they take, so they lose access to spellcasting/druid abilities. They arent against using Magic Items, however, so the Bracers of armor wouldnt be a problem.

strictly speaking, you cant take a feat unless you meet the pre-reqs for it. There are "vitrual feats" like the Rangers TWF, and feats you get from classes in certain situations, like Cleave while in Dervish Dance. If you lose the pre-reqs to a feat (ie a fighter w/ a 15 str takes PowerAttack...

yah, you can season the buffing to taste, and a righteous might solution would be pretty cool, but you would need to get at least 4 points of str per point of BAB lost (b/c each point of BAB = 3 damage, and str +4 = +3 dam when weilding 2h) .

First off, thnx for the replies on the BAB. I had it stuck somewhere in my head that epic BAB doesnt provide any further iterative attacks(which it doesnt), and hadnt GM'ed enought to think about the monsters w/ BAB = HD and HD > 20. Of course you are correct about BAB < 20. Although, i think...

ah youre right.. but what if said Kensai had sworn to defend him to the death.. before he finally snapped and was exiled. then they'd be in a pickle. and the leader could easily be a lawful ftr8/cavalier10/ronin2 with a slightly lower damage output. I was struggling with the whole Barb/FB part...

yup. Im guessing it was ouchies for the boar, and presumably, the other PC's that were melee'ing it. :D

yup, its still a ranged attack, you're just looking to hit the Touch AC instead of the Regular AC.

Whilst on a looong bus ride a week ago, I set to doing those age-old tricks of the bored DnD player. From the powergamey camp came the desire to find new evil ways to do insane damage on a maxcrit. From the roleplayey(sp?) camp came the urge to design new and interesting characters. The...

Its OK man, sometimes i do some weird sh*t too..

One of my freinds GM'ed a campaing and here's what he did: At the begginnign of every round, players got 30 sec. to organise their tactics. After that, only the player whose turn it was got to talk pertaining to the battle (OOC bs'ing still allowed, but quietly). when he called your character's...

By the RAW, the rogue is going to add SA damage to any attack that lands on someone vulnerable to SA. (theres no "may add +xd6" in the rules, only "adds +xd6"). This means that if you throw (or shoot) into grapple, you SA whomever you hit (even if its a freindly). I dont mind the whole "melee...

I'm afraid that's erroneous. Thrown weapons (handaxes, daggers, spears, etc.) get your normal ranged attack roll, but you get to add your str + or - to the damage roll. Grenade weapons get to attack a square. Ranged attack roll vs AC 5 + range increment penalties. No Str bonus to damage, b/c...

I think that the "wield as a scimitar" is just a flavor hold over from 3.0. Remember, that if the 3.0 druid weilded any other weapons than druid weapons (ie a longsword instead of a scimitar), then they lost thier spells & ablities for 24 hours. Since the spell made a "weapon-like" effect (a...
