    Yay! I get to play a high(er) level character (Help me make it cool)

    interesting gives unarmed attack for the punching people apart before the turning into a bear. also sets you up for improved grapple? tasty hmmm some crazy ass alignment shift required, doable, have to check if its alright with the DM. Its a nice slide from lawful ordered up bringing to Crazed...

    Yay! I get to play a high(er) level character (Help me make it cool)

    not at all, any input is appreciated. Failed to catch the DM to roll my stats last night :( Still honed things slightly. Its either going to be a barbarian 7 / bear warrior 8 (with the plan of finish bear warrior and take war shaper till 20) looking something like Barbarian 7 / Bear warrior...

    Yay! I get to play a high(er) level character (Help me make it cool)

    rereading what I've written its a little confusing. Due to the fact we are playing Ars Magica separately I don't want to play a mage. Instead I was fancying a melee/skill type with some interesting abilities. And thanks for the link, I'll take a look when I'm home from work.

    Yay! I get to play a high(er) level character (Help me make it cool)

    I usually DM and one of my friends is starting a game to play on odd nights on our game night. Its 15th level Characters with mages etc being dubious as there was some magical cataclysm recently and they are rare and mistrusted. We are currently playing Ars Magica and I have a crazy elemental...

    Is there a 'theurge'-class for druid/clerics?

    Druid and take spontaneous Healing, theres one in my paused campaign and it seems a very nice combination. I only wish I'd seen the alternate wildshape rules before the campaign began

    Spiffy Magic Item suggestions please help

    A staff would be nice, if he's got the caster level then something with "higher level" cleric an wizard spells in it. Give them some higher level options. I'd probably tend towards some utility spells and probably a one off wish/miracle that destroyed the staff (but thats just me)

    Ultimate 12th level fighty type build?

    At work with no books but the cavalier prestige class looks like it might be a good one for a "conventional" high melee damage character. Possibly with druid as the base for some animal companion mount with pounce and the feat that allows you to blow a wildshape to pounce yourself. Anyone know...

    How to stop Tumblers?

    if the rogue (or whatever) can definitely tumble past the gaurds to get the king then hes of such a reasonably high level that he should be able to. Its what he does after all, he's a master gymnast/sneak thief/assassin trained to the peak. I can see an argument for a feat that makes high level...

    -4 AC penalty when using missile weapons?

    think that there is a penalty for not being armed in combat. If you have a bow out then you're not armed, might that be it?

    Speed Modifier Bonanza

    key one will be the wording of essence of the raptor. if it sets your speed to 60' that would override everything ??? seems unlikely probably gives base speed of 60' that would override the wildshape either way then + 10' for barbarian then it comes down to wording of the tortoise shell...

    Encouraging Elven Player Characters

    I'm currently running an all elf campaign. I set out a fairly specific game world. From a small village in a forest, no money based economy, communal lifestyle. Set a pantheon of 3 gods (6 aspects) nature and ancestor revering. So far we've had a lot of drumming shamanistic stuff, ritually...

    What campaign settings are in print and what is good about them?

    I'm playing in an Iron Kingdoms game that is very very cool. Its got a mass of background flavour, thats well written. It has a slew of spell restrictions and class modifications that are fairly easy to implement. It has currencies and politics written up and fairly workable research rules...

    Can an Arcane Archer use scrolls with Imbue arrow

    thats a relief :) When my player asked whether it worked or not I felt sure it must say! Was worried I was missing something obvious. Will leave it for some of the rules Gurus here to have their say before investigating further. Opinions are more than welcome as well as facts, I'll appreciate...

    Can an Arcane Archer use scrolls with Imbue arrow

    The thread title say it all really. I suppose I should expand this to. Can they by RAW? What sequence of actions would it take? Is this intended by the spirit of the rules, is it too powerful, too weak without etc etc. I have a sorceror 2 fighter the rest going for AA as soon as possible...

    Counterspelling yet again

    Just read a thread where someone mentioned the idea of a swift action dispel magic. I really like the idea of counterspelling being a good tactic in general. I have engineered and been subject to scenarios where dispelling worked really well while the fighters beat a mage down. I'd liek it to...

    Gnolls, lycanthropes and BBEGs - ideas please

    many thanks to those of you who posted. The ideas fed my overly mean and fertile imagination. The end array was as follows. First encounter was a bodygaurd sent north as a messenger with a small retinue. Gnoll werewolf (elite array) with 1 cleric 3rd level and 6 other gnolls (I did give a...

    with regards the bardic music increase there's a 1st level spell in complete arcane? that is a swift action and increases the bonus produced by bardic music, that sounds like a good start. I have included special material properties for weapons in a previous campaign ( firesteel and icesteel I...
