Actually there was one event that made Crogan someone to be remembered: The party were on their way through a forest at night to a Mages tower where we were supposed to get a special magic book. The DM made us all make a spot check. We had another human (Crogan was human, too), an elf, a drow...

As to not post a whole new thread just for one little question, I'm digging up this one again: I'm looking for the full description (rules) of the invocation Eldritch Glaive as I want to have a look and decide if maybe I should take it later. I read its in some issue of Dragon Magazine, what I...

Is this only for D&D and/or only Pen&Paper game characters? I only ever played 2 D&D chars (my first P&P chars ever, too) but I could contribute a little more if its not restricted to that as I have played online RP before I got into D&D (I dont mean MMORPGs or the likes, more freeform stuff...

Should I ever play such a char in a game my current DM is DMing I guess we actually could come up with some houseruling for stuff we find lacking as we are both interested in martial arts and also have some RL experience. Yea well I dont need to translate a Psychic Warrior into a fantasy...

Found a nice little article about all the standard special attacks. Here is part 1 (its 4 parts): Tactics and Tips: Fightin' Dirty (Part 1)

Maybe this also is a good place to additionally ask another thing: What are good melee, combat, warrior classes with some martial arts touch? The Monk comes to mind of course but I read so much about it sucking rules-wise and also its not exactly what I'd be after fluff-wise

I still dont know all the rules that well (still focussing on those I need right now) so if this is well described already, its ok to just point me in the right direction of course. I havent played a melee char so far but I was thinking about this: A good fighter/martial artist/whatever will...

Oh actually here is another question as I was thinking about this: What possibilities do you know of to allow for another action or an attack after using Flee the Scene? Generally what are your ideas for good use of Flee the Scene? For example I had this idea for combat use, to draw a...

Digging up the old thread just to say what happened now: Just before we made it to the point where I would have started using this char we ran into problems with how the game went and everything. Long story short: we found it was too much of a challenge to play a high level campaign with a...

Empirate and I posted pretty much at the same time there and we basically said the same thing ;) but yea, real fighting often seems to be a case of "show me your best strike" kinda as the first action can VERY well be decisive for the outcome of a fight, especially if you dont know your...

Well it COULD very well be meant as a realism rule I think. I practice a martial art for a few years now and I've noticed this several times in sparring rounds: I face my sparring partner and both of us are totally aware that the round (the fight in case of an encounter in game) is about to...

hmmm but a point in space is not a creature or object as described under "Burst, Emanation, or Spread", is it?Seems to me if "a point in space" was considered a target as used in that description, a whole lot of spells would be of the "target" type, basically all area-effect spells... I'm not...

LOL that kinda sounds just as chaotic and "not what it was supposed to be" as our very first session. Our GM had planned a simple little story that would have set us up ready to go for the campaign, we overreacted at one point and everything went right down the drain:D

Oh I actually like those outsider kinda characters (dont mean "outsider" as in "from some weird other plane" in this case). I try to make them fit in with their allies pretty much (in this case the party) but at the same time try to make them weird and chilling enough to keep other people going...

yea, but only (if you go by the written rules) at PrC level10 if I'm reading it correctly (though it doesnt have to be tentacles)

From what I read an Alienist only gains any alien deformities at PRC level10 but I'd actually find it fun to play around with something like that earlier I think :) Ah, so the main drawback is that you can summon pseudonatural versions of "normal" creatures (making them outsiders) but cant...

I think it would be best if you can pull off to really play out that insane, weird, creepy side of it. Maybe it would be best in a generally non-good party? After all being a freaky alien lover doesnt mean your char cant have its bright moments and/or even come up with greatly helpfull stuff...

Why do I never really see this class mentioned? Does noone play it? If so: why? What are your thoughts on the class? Personally I'd think one could have some great fun playing one at least if you go flavour over optimisation. I'm not an experienced player though so I'd like to see what you...

right! guess I messed that up mistaking all feats for chosen at level12 (where I made the character). newbie-mistake right there:D But even though I mixed things up, it still works, right? Just a little differently from what I wrote above (btw: yes, Hellfire Warlock progresses Invocations just...

Finally the char is nearly completed I ditched point blank shot and precise shot, feats I got are: Eyes of the Abyss (Abyssal Heritor) Vestigial Wings (Abyssal Heritor) Maximise Spelllike Ability (Hellfire Blast) Extra Invocation (Eldritch Chain) Extra Invocation (Invisibility) Still one feat...
