    1st level, flavor vs, substance

    While true at low levels you have very little in the way of skills and bonuses and it makes things much more random and up to the roll of the d20 it also forces you to be cautious and tactical. At lower levels i find our group using ambushes, preparing the battle field w/ traps and difficult...

    1st level, flavor vs, substance

    Cool, Fun, Powerful, Well rounded at level 1?? I'd have to say Druid. Druids are also extremely survivable at low levels, which is something that cannot be said of most arcane casters. D8 hit die, Animal Companion, Cure Light Wounds, Lesser Vigor, Spontaneous SNA, Entangle.... All these thinks...

    D&D 3E/3.5 [3.5] rogue: need to get my crits up, can't afford keen

    why do people always want to pair rogues with a large crit range. Sneak Attack doesn't get multiplied by crits. it seems like you would get better results by focusing you efforts on something else. Rangers with high STR and Favored Enemy bonuses and TWF seem like they would benefit the most...

    D&D 3E/3.5 Why be a 3.5 monk?

    1. Not sure. By RAW you can't trip with a long spear because it is not a trip weapon. Some DM's don't care, some do. I'm with the "do" camp so i would use a Guisarme or a Talenta Sarrash. 2. Reach weapons double your reach so it would be 20ft 3. If your have it when you're enlarged it grows...

    Charm person/monster problems

    Don't get me wrong. I don't mean for you to use this spell to punish the players who use it all the time. I'm just trying to point out some option of why it might work differently than the players expect some times.

    Charm person/monster problems

    I agree with the rest of your post except for this part. What if the reason they have few or no other friends is because they are weak minded and cannot resist the urge to stab those around them and take their shiny things?? What if the reason they have few or no other friends is because they...

    D&D 3E/3.5 Why be a 3.5 monk?

    The OP is already talking about multiclassing. The Monk is already lvl 12 and is looking for where to go from there. Psychic Warrior or Ranger would give proficiency with Guisarme and Cleric may or may not grant a reach/trip weapon but at a minimum word give use of the Long Spear. I think your...

    N00b DM Questions

    Mobility gives +4 to AC vs AoO generated by movement I don't think it would work with Spring Attack as the feat is written but you homebrew a lot of your own stuff anyway so i don't see a problem with adapting it. I would probably go with mobility to give the bonus to AC but not take away the...

    Help with build: Dexterity based Swashbuckler->Duelist

    I would go Swash3/Wiz3/Spellsword1/Abjurant ChampionX/SwiftbladeX 1 Swash (free Weapon Finesse, Feat TWF) 2 Wizard (pick up some buffs and utility spells, Trade away the Familiar for something else. i like Abrupt Jaunt) 3 Swash (Feat: Knowledge Devotion, Makes TWF work since you can actually...

    D&D 3E/3.5 Why be a 3.5 monk?

    A spiked chain isn't as good for a monk as it is for most other classes. Not to say that it's not good for a monk but a large benefit of a spiked chain is that it is a reach weapon that also threatens adjacent. A monk already has adjacent covered with Improved Unarmed strike (and it does more...

    Stealing The Nish

    But you are losing a round worth of actions for nothing. Besides the very first round initiative doesn't really matter, it is just the order people act. What do you think the benefit is of giving up your turn in the first round to act first in the second round?? It is pretty much the same as...

    building a character

    I would say Warblade one side and Wizard on the other. You may not be the best "master of the undead" guy around but you should be able stomp anyone who says mentions it to your face. Full BaB, full casting, full maneuvers with best refresh mechanic, D12 Hit Die, 4+int skills/level, High INT...

    D&D 3E/3.5 What do you ban? (3.5)

    The only reason i can see to ban Cleave is because its not very good and it slows fighters down in their feat chains an extra step. Kind of like a pity ban. If i was doing that i would at the same time ban dodge or make it apply to AC in general instead of AC vs targeted opponent. Also trying...

    Unstoppable Undead

    There has to be a why. Why did the DM create these indestructible undead?? Again, as long as it seems like this campaign has been running i doubt he would create an unbeatable foe without a reason. Unless he is just beating up his players to show how powerful he is in the DMs seat there has to...
