    What Spells give the DM the most headache...

    Could I put another aspect to this by adding the problem of spell components. Gone are the masses of componets used in ad&d1, but there are still some major problems caused by party members wishing to cast spells which they have learnt from a scroll or book and then having to wait to get out of...

    Where to go with a bard?

    You have missed the point of being a Flamboyant entertaining swordsman - the sort that passes back the sword to his opponent, when disarmed. The bard is not a sneaky backstabber. The point is that at some stage the bad creature/person has got to go and therefore needs a quicker death than I am...

    Where to go with a bard?

    The point with this is all very good and well if you have an effective party that is going to assist in this. The Sorceress is a very destructive spell caster but does not have these spells. This leaves the Bard as being the next best spell caster. A cats grace, followed by a good hope...

    Where to go with a bard?

    Sorry Plane sailing, but as I was talking about the ineptitude of the fighters I was not thinking of you. It is extremely odd that the partys best two characters are the Bard and the Sorceress. It seems that the only way forward is to increase Str or the damage that the rapier can do. This...

    Where to go with a bard?

    Could you be taking Whirlwind attack by any chance. My Bard is Elven, but wants to be human. He thinks humans are bold and go-getting. They are much more adventurous than elves who stay at home and sing the same old songs for thousands of years and tell stories about their youth 3,000 years...

    Where to go with a bard?

    Flamboyant is the Errol Flynn style of attack. The charcter has the flouncy hat and feather that is nearly always getting singed. He fights with flair and honour. That means that he generally fights 6 opponents at once, so sneak attacks are not his style. This allows the rest of the party to...

    Where to go with a bard?

    Check out "Cyrano de Bergerac." He fights a duel while composing a rhyme about his opponent. Very funny stuff, in keeping with your character concept I’ll sing you a song of other times and places, And sights you may never see. I’ll sing you a song of other times and places, And things you may...

    Where to go with a bard?

    I am currently playing a campaign as a 10th level bard, who has a flair for singing his head off whilst taking his opponents down with a thousands cuts due to his +1 keen rapier and 10 Str. I wish him to be flamboyant swordsman rather than continue as just a Bard. However, the Duelist route...

    Like I said Amateur night. The mage ends up at the front because a bunch of paladin types run past him saying 'were off, bye fend for self' we don't feel well. Valour, courage, protecting the meek - b :uhoh:ll :]cks. I woould have been better with a party of thiefs -there you don't expect any...

    Amateur night Fly. This bunch of amaters can barely walk. If Planesailing gets on with it, you will start to see what a true hero is about. Always saving this lots pathetic necks. He left them once before, as they couldn't organise the perverbial piss up in a brewery, but came back as the world...

    Trajan has interest!!!!!!! Trajan, you had better not tell Anne-Marie or the Black Forest gateau will become a custard tart. :D As the saying in Cadlan is 'Beware the pine cone, for it can bounce'.
