I have had my recent experiences with an a-hole DM, who more or less forced me to leave the group by banning my homebrews without proper explanations and even telling the whole group to go against them (the group itself had nothing against my works before, so I am sure he deliberately made them...

Well, I found it funny that my homebrews aren't even unbalanced or anything, yet all the other DMs I know were always just being ****s about it. (They gave no proper explanations to the banning of homebrews whatsoever, and one even went as far as to demonize them for the rest of my group...

Okay, so I have planned to play a Paladin of Bahamut in the next campaign that my DM will arrange. As I want her to keep with the theme of slaying dragons alongside the promotion of good, I found that the best PrC option would be the Vassal of Bahamut (Dragonslayer from Draconomicon is a close...

Who, the DM?

I felt like yelling out "troll topic" but then I realized that would be quite distasteful. But I think the explanation lies in two things: 1. People expect a party with a little bit more than a cabal of wizards and/or priests as the adventurers. I mean, seeing four robed guys seems out of place...

Seeing this made me a very sad panda. Also, seeing the ACF for a Psychic Warrior with a Mindblade, might it be possible to have a Paladin with a Mindblade? It seems cool for flavor, but I am otherwise not really interested. As for the optimization of a Paladin, which sourcebooks do you guys...

This thread also reminded me of one thing that a friend of mine said after I linked this all to him: According to him, changing the spells should also make it so that the monster stats need some revising. I wonder where he was trying to get with that, but what are your thoughts? Also, Celebrim...

Yet despite that, statistics say Monk is among the weakest of the core classes. Oh, what flavor gives, the stats take. And yeah, I like this spell editing list so far. Though I am sure some of the high-end damaging spells could use some fixing as well. (that's what a pal of mine was telling me...

Well, from what I have heard, the Soulknife is on the weaker end of all classes. Basically the main weaknesses are the Medium BAB (which should be higher), its seeming lack of proper Psionics, and the limited enhancing possibilites of the Mindblade. Most people say that it is only useful if you...

I would say that it can, but I guess it would have to work in a different manner, if the DM even allows that.

I play it because it is a fun game and the first ever Pen&Paper game that I was introduced to. And since I write as a hobby and am otherwise very creative, I love tampering with the rules and creating homebrew races, settings and other such things. It's just a giant sandbox in my own opinion...

I myself know that people can get very attatched to their characters in our games. I myself as a player would prefer having the ressurection spells available in a campaign (of course in some campaign settings this is less likely to happen) As a DM, it's a more situational thing. If I am running...

Question: Do you mean a stereotypical Fantasy Setting knight, or a stereotypical gritty "realistic" knight? Because I have seen people who play Paladins just because they think a Paladin is "the epitome of knightly order and behaviour" while others want to be play a Knight who's basically a...

I see no gamebreaking problems with that, but some DMs might think you are an optimizer. However, any DM who would say that to me would get a verbal attack far more brutal than a bear mauling you for saying that a class that is overshadowed by the group Wizard isn't allowed to have chances to...

I doubt the problem wasn't that catfolk are a bad race, but more that the combination of Half-Dragon and Catfolk seems (no offense) just silly/ridiculous. It might be just me and Tovec, but hey. I'm not saying that Catfolk are bad, and Half-Dragons are cool too.

I assume that despite there being no official charts in the basic books about it, there might be some age tables related to half-dragons in some of the Dragon-related books like Races of the Dragon. As for Tieflings, I think they used the age tables for the common half-elf, or lived a bit...

All of this just seems a bit confusing to me. From what I've thought out, shouldn't an evil dragon be prone to taunts (especially the ever-prideful red or dumbass white) and thus leap at the players with double the rage if properly provoked? Being smart is one thing, but no matter how smart a...

My view on this would be. 1. I see no problems with this game-mechanic wise, other than the player hitting the roof. 2. I would say that the Paladin could fly since the spell grants the mount the ability to use the spell and its effects. Though depending on how stingy the DM is, the Paladin...

I know doing this is not the best idea, but BUMP!!

Personally, I would go with either Eberron or Greyhawk, though I happen to like Forgotten Realms as well. I don't know much about DragonLance or the other settings (though I am sort-of familiar with Dark Sun) In the end, I voted Greyhawk because it somehow seems to be the very foundation of the...
