    Help me pick a grad school

    Yeah, gaming probably isn't the most important criterion, but I'm just basically making my list of pros and cons. Both programs are doing some high quality research and regardless of which I choose if I play my cards right I'll be abe to get in on a good project with either. But I found my...

    Has anyone done the math on a TWF ranger with sword and shield?

    The only way TWF works IMHO is a scout X/ fighter 1/dervish X. The scout gets the benefit of his skirmish on all attacks he makes once he moves at least 10 feet and the dervish lets him make multiple attacks and still move. Plus dervish lets you treat scimitars as light weapons. However...

    Help me pick a grad school

    Well, academically the two schools are pretty equal and they're both giving me full rides and paying me to go so either one can work for me. I do have a thing for girls with the southern accent, but farm girls are also hot. Both schools have pretty good football teams. In all reality, its a...

    Help me pick a grad school

    So, here's the situation: I've decided to go back to grad school full-time at 27. So I did the whole applications for my program (only so many schools actually have agricultural economics programs) and got back a bunch of acceptances and a few assistantship offers. That part is totally...

    The Gas Chamber

    3 Words: Shock and Awe. Personally, I'd make it a point to out-fart him. I'd load up on chili, doritors (cool ranch coes wonders), drink a little five-alive. Cabbage always works here. Then I'd just sit and wait with answer-backs. The moment he lets out the first one immediately stand up...

    DM Advice: handling 'he can't talk to me like that' ~cuts NPC throat~ players.

    In the campaign I DM if the Aasimar paladin and Dwarven cleric (both of Bahamut) committed these acts it'd be immediate loss of class abilities. The paladin gets some really special abilities, but they come at the great cost (as far as whimsical unbridaled fun is a cost) of having to adhere to...

    Titan Fighting from RoS question

    OK, so I'm GMing a new game and one of my players wants to take the Titan Fighting feat from Races of Stone. Said player is convinced that Titan Fighting will effectively grant him a +8 bonus to AC against a specific giant that he has designated as the target of his dodge feat. I believe the...

    What's your favorite takeout?

    I gotta say, I've been to 49 states and most the provinces of Canada and still nothing tops a New Jersey pizza. I don't think I've ever had a pie outside of Jersey and a few places in NYC and eastern PA that wasn't absolutely gross. I don't know what it is but everywhere outside of the area...

    Best 10th lvl Melee "Tank"

    I agree with Mithrasrahl. Give us a start level and tell us what kind of build do you want? Also some idea of what you expect to be fighting would be nice. Party composition can make a big difference in your choice, any light you can shed there can provide us with a better idea of what will...

    Help me tweak my Barbarian

    The Minotaur actually has no level adjust. Its an extremely toned down version. The horns have actually only proved useful once when I was grappled (read getting chomped on ) by a t-rex and delivered the killing blow (it only had like 6 hp left). I should probably mention DM is strictly...

    Help me tweak my Barbarian

    So I'm playing a Minotaur (kind of Krynnish, but not quite) Barbarian in my current game. We're 9th level. I currently have the following feats: Power Attack Cleave Ex Weapon Prof: Mercurial Great Sword Monkey Grip Extend Rage Imp Critical I took 2 flaws: Shaky and Eye Patch (home-brewed...

    Find that Drow!

    i don't think I've ever seen Jarlaxle's stat block. But if being ultra cool was a class, he'd be level 26.

    Drow slaying dude, please critique this build..

    I had a scout/fighter/dervish build who was just plain nasty. Especially duel-wielding scimitars. The big kicker for the scout is the description of skirmish. Note the wording: "She deals an extra 1d6 damage on ALL attacks she makes during any round in which she moves at least 10 feet."...

    Another new Question: Old School Icewind Dale question

    Scrolls and Leveling up were the only 2 ways I remember. Oh and if you have a paladin make sure you search the body behind one of the houses in the Artisan's district of Lower Dorn's Deep. Now when you scroll over it will appear as a normal long sword, but its actually a holy avenger named...

    Most powerful non-magical class combo

    This 20 Level Build kicked ass for me: Fighter 1/Scout 9/ Dervish 10. Scout gets his skirmish on every attack he makes if he moves more than 10' (which is 3d6). Dervish Dance lets you make your full attack and full move. At 10th level dervish, he gets A Thousand Cuts, which allows you to make...

    Complete complete series?

    I'd have to say if I could pick one more complete book it'd have to be a Complete Wild (or something akin to that). Basically more options for Barbarians, Rangers, and Druids. I just think they've glazed over them. Unless you're evil, good luck finding a prc other than Frenzied Bezerker if...

    Feat gorus, please help!

    Thank you to everyone that helped out. I was driving myself nuts looking for this feat and was running at wit's end.

    Feat gorus, please help!

    Some time back I was looking through my books and saw a feat. The feat could only be taken by a wizard at 1st level. It allowed a wizard to learn 4 spells every level instead of the standard 2. Unfortunately I've been unable to locate which book this feat is in since. Did my brain just dream...

    Casting Spells in Lycanthrope Alternate Form

    Under special attacks: "A lycanthrope’s hybrid form does not gain any special attacks of the base animal. A lycanthrope spellcaster cannot cast spells with verbal, somatic, or material components while in animal form, or spells with verbal components while in hybrid form." I don't know if the...
