    D&D 3E/3.5 3.5 Best feats for my Horse?

    "I thought he was talking about Sarah Jessica Parker actually." In response to the comment about spirited charge et al, I'd recommend items (or other ways) that will let you shrink your mount down to medium and yourself down to small so that you can fit in places better and actually use some...

    D&D 3E/3.5 3.5 Best feats for my Horse?

    What are the usual tactics the pally uses with the horse? If he uses it to trample a lot I'd say Improved Natural Attack might be worthwhile.

    (pure) scout builds

    There's also a feat in Dragon 346 that allows for a Scout to skirmish up to 60 feet with any weapon, but that's it. No damage bonus from Dex, etc. It requires Dex 15, Wis 13, Far Shot, Point Blank Shot, and skirmish.

    D&D 3E/3.5 3.5 Classes with mounts

    I'm guessing you're not playing with the errata? The errata for Complete Adventurer adds Disable Device to the scout's list, specifies that you have to move 10 or more feet from your starting location, and most importantly for this build, skirmish doesn't work at all while mounted. If you're...

    Incarnum blade rehaul

    Depending on what you'd call a "powerful base" the Abjurant Champion really doesn't have many prerequisites, yet has plenty of power behind it in those five levels.

    D&D 3E/3.5 I need ideas to pimp my 3.5 Rogue.

    I took the liberty of looking up the original book they were published in... I'm guessing Magic of Faerun is out too? Besides a Duskblade, I can't think of much that would really help you. Factotum from Dungeonscape perhaps? Wizard into Abjurant Champion maybe? The feat requirement is...

    D&D 3E/3.5 I need ideas to pimp my 3.5 Rogue.

    If it wasn't for the 3.5 restriction (and probably book restriction too) I'd say pick up the Crescent Knife from Dragon 275. It's an exotic weapon that essentially doubles your attacks. See if you can get Gloves of the Balanced Hand to get you Greater TWF since you have Improved already. Are...

    How big is my katana?

    That mostly depends on where you look it up, even within the book. In the minotaur's stat block, the greathammer is noted as just being x4. The goliath greathammer is the same weapon and also noted as being just x4. It was also reprinted in Elder Evils as x4. At the moment I'm trying to find...

    How big is my katana?

    I think if everyone had their choice they'd use pre-errata bladed gauntlets, made from Kaorti Resin of course. 17-20/x4 before keen and such is quite nuts.

    How big is my katana?

    The Talenta Sharrash has errata that changed it to 19-20/x2. +19 or so is the turning point. If the character has less bonus damage than that, the great scimitar is a bit better for damage. If the character has more, then the 19-20/x3 katana is better. Keep in mind that the katana keeps...

    How big is my katana?

    The correlation is mostly to say "this is what the base game does" which gives a rough estimate of what numbers are expected within the game. That whole thing definitely changes once size increases become a factor, but that's also true of the non-exotic weapons as well. A 19-20/x3 is actually...

    How big is my katana?

    I've worked on an equation to calculate the average damage one can expect from a weapon factoring in 5% automatic fail due to Natural 1 as well as 5% crit confirm fail from the same source. It can also factor in non-auto-fail hit chance as well as crit chance and the crit multiplier. I've got...

    Glamered armour question

    Jimlock: Magic armor specifically doesn't change size, so a set made for a medium creature wouldn't couldn't be worn by a troll unless that troll was medium too.

    How big is my katana?

    Katana are somewhat more awkward to fully wield proficiently in one hand than a longsword is, mostly due to the differences in design and use. Likewise, those differences mean it's generally a more damaging weapon.

    New to D&D, playing Favored Soul, suggestions welcome

    I won't quote that to reply, but here should be most of your answers: Augment Healing only applies once to any healing spell. The way it interacts with Vigor is it applies only on the first round. As I recall, it does work on everyone on the first round of a Mass version though. Sun Bolt vs...

    My friend wants his Archer build improved...

    The problem with that is the only way a composite bow can get the strength rating is it has to be paid for and modified as such. "With regard to" is clarifying "Bonebows function as a composite bow." I can't say for certain, but I believe the assumption the authors made with that wording is...

    My friend wants his Archer build improved...

    I don't think it heavily suggests users of any strength getting a benefit from it. The wording is such that it's supposed to act like a regular composite longbow, which means needing to modify it for different strengths. Interpreting it to mean a user with any strength can use it means it's...

    Wave of Grief is an Evil spell sadly. http://dndtools.eu/classes/cleric/spells-level-2/ might be a good place to look for other spells for 2nd level, or any level of course by changing the url to 3, 6, etc.

    I edited that info in actually after my own research, although the timestamp could of course say I changed it after you posted. :p I didn't notice your post until after I had refreshed.

    My friend wants his Archer build improved...

    I hate to ruin your fun Dandu, but Polymorph doesn't allow the becoming of an outsider unless the starting character was already one. That's admittedly fairly easy with LA buyoff and something like Tiefling. As for using it on an archer though, there are certainly some good possibilities among...
