    D&D 3E/3.5 Help me build this character in 3.5

    Note, that you can use aging to your advantage, you can trade a -1 to 3 in all phys scores for a +1 to 3 in all mental. Aging isn't just for pun -pun. Just get Zen Archery and your old man traded 1-2 health per level for +3 in all mental scores. Or if you don't plan on fighting much, you don't...

    lvl 13 pala = 350 dmg/charge lance

    Its called Ubercharger, you can probably google the build up quite easily. IIRC, this can reach the thousands by the time he reaches 20 and is generally silly as all hell, Involving jumping OFF your mount and an exorbitant amount of feats. Rough terrain, being underwater, well spaced hordes of...

    D&D 3E/3.5 Help me build this character in 3.5

    Well, you could justify the good reflex by experience. The old man has seen it a hundred times before and knows to start moving BEFORE even the sharpest rogues.

    Wishing this could be played

    Ipecac is the closest I know. One round effect but since it was designed as a medicine, it has no save.

    D&D 3E/3.5 Help me build this character in 3.5

    Well, it gives him ALL the abilities he wants. And fluff has always been mutable for me.

    D&D 3E/3.5 Help me build this character in 3.5

    Factotum! You got all the skills points you need(6+INT, your main score, and another if you go human), healing, UMD, INT as your major score(for those Knowledges), the awesome Cunning Knowledge(for when you just HAVE to convince the King to lend you a small army) and you can even have decent...

    How about a monk mercenary?

    I think I read somewhere that Lawful part of alignment means you simply follow A set of laws, not nescesarily the generally accepted set. You could set your own laws and so long as you follow them(and they are more orless consistent), you are considered lawful.

    Going crazy with ACF's?

    I like Psionics so I'm gonna have to recomend Ardent with Magic and Freedom mantle and Dominant ideal ACF. Nothing special at lower levels but at higher levels you can link manifest a short teleport and immediately radiate an AMF field. Combine with some of the mageslayer feats (especially the...

    Combining magic items

    Does it give her a SIGNIFICANT advantage over wielding both? Then just tack on the normal price. If it gives her a large advantage then you gotta use the dang quadratics. Figure out the rough bonus. Clossest approx I have of Staff of fire and Warlock's Scpetre should be +3 (2000 x 3*2=18,000)...

    Which Edition to Buy

    The Hypertext d20 SRD (v3.5 d20 System Reference Document) :: d20srd.org . You now no longer need the PHB only the DMG. Seriously. Why do people even buy that when the SRD not only has everything you need out of the PHB but also a SEARCH FUNCTION.

    Good race for Barbarian?

    Ah. Racial substitutions. THAT'S where I heard of them getting reach.

    Dragon Compendium Vol. 1: new base classes?

    If you were REALLY worried about imbalance, you'd have to ban core. ;)

    Good race for Barbarian?

    Those are all basic races, Empirate. As a guy who likes wierd races myself, here's my hat off to you, Tennen. Mongrelfolk if you want long rages and hp up the wazoo. Dvati if you want to be 2 people at once(warning, hp is split between the Dvati twins). Take Spirit Lion Totem variant for...

    Building an Ultimate Magus

    Thanks for the abrupt jaunt/obtain familiar tip. Small question, do you need obtain familiar before Improved/Planar/etc. Familiar? Prereqs says ability to get a new familiar. Problem is, even if it is your first, technically you planar familiar is still a 'new' familiar. I know what RAI is but...

    Building an Ultimate Magus

    Nice thing to remember. Focused Specialist wizard. Ban evocation and abjuration, then either necromancy or enchantment. Take Dread Necromancer or Beguiler accordingly. Congrats, you have specialist wizards benefits losing nothing but ... ACTUALLY YOU LOSE ALMOST NOTHING. Just make sure you pick...

    D&D 3E/3.5 3.N – Codex Gigas: My End-All-Be-All 3.5 Revision

    Wow, I don't know wether to be more surprised you read all of my stuff, or that I read all of your reply. Black Tentacles is still killer if you are simply facing things with PC classes since you are grappling as well as a 20th level fighter. On a huge area. Almost as often as you like a day...

    D&D 3E/3.5 3.N – Codex Gigas: My End-All-Be-All 3.5 Revision

    Pretty good job. I always like the 'mana' system better than Vancian. Haven't read it all yet but I in particular like these: -Half Ref to dodge AC. When you think about it it REALLY makes no sense for a level 20 Rogue to get a dodge bous(none) equivalent to that of a 1st level commoner...

    Gender modifiers: the other side of the coin

    The only modifier I would ever use is a +2 charisma only applicable to a straight member of the opposite gender or a homosexual member of the same gender. And only when wearing appropriate clothing.;)

    Help me convince my DM that monks aren't broken

    Speaking of Druids, I'm surprised noone has suggested the old 'play an OP class just to show him' thing. I'd just like to say I'm very proud of all of you. If your DM let's non-core in just ask him to play a Psychic Warrior. They are actually better unarmed fighter than the monks(not that...

    Where is the Factotum?

    Humans have slightly better synergy with the class than gnomes, and open up CHAMELEON. At mid levels(13-15), you go DOUBLE Focus arcane/divine. You get spells UP THE WAZHOO. USE(almost) ANY SPELL EVER. Spam as much as you like and when you run out, meditate during the nex breather and become...
