    Trying my hand at DMing. Need some advice

    Can't argue with that. It is frustrating finding a Battle Axe with a +3 enhancement, but having to stick with your +2 Greatsword because you're more effective (Unless you're a Warblade; one of the many reasons I play that class). I did read that Weapons Groups does alleviate that some, where...

    Trying my hand at DMing. Need some advice

    I've thought about this, and while I disagree with martial classes like Fighters being proficient with ALL Martial and Simple Weapons (I mean seriously, where are you going to find the time to become familiar and proficiently use ALL those weapons? Even warriors back in the day who dedicated...

    Double Post, damnit.

    Trying my hand at DMing. Need some advice

    I both appreciate and understand your concern, but it's been in my experience that with no house rules there is chaos and frustration for the DM (my experience as a player, that is). Without banning the big five, while at the same time having other players in the tier 3-5 range, I'll be tearing...

    Trying my hand at DMing. Need some advice

    Actually, I don't have any problems from 3.0, so long as mechanically they don't contradict 3.5, so I'll definitely look at the Shaman. It may not even need the errata, depending. Thanks in advance; I'm pretty sure I'll like what I find.

    Trying my hand at DMing. Need some advice

    I'm not too keen on banning PrC's, as I do like their flavor and without multiple PrC shenanigans on one character, I think that might be enough. But you are right, I might need to comb through the list and get rid of some that might be problematic. I'm personally a fan of Bo9S and actually...

    Trying my hand at DMing. Need some advice

    I've played a Favored Soul, and that was always my biggest complaint about them: No Turn Undead and no K. Religion, which besides being able to cast Divine Spells, kept the character from receiving the full benefits of a Divine Caster (DMM, Ruby Knight Vindicator, etc.). I hated the flavor of...

    Trying my hand at DMing. Need some advice

    I've thought about that as well, and while I do have experience with wizards breaking the game, I was usually the cause and not the other players (I was always trying to experience the DMG to the head, and made it my personal goal to frustrate the DM to tears. Sadly that never happened) Maybe I...

    Trying my hand at DMing. Need some advice

    Alright, let me first say that as far as game experience is concerned, I have about two years experience as a player. My DM in my current game has been using me to bounce ideas about upcoming campaigns, plot twists and hooks, etc. and made the suggestion that I should DM my own campaign...

    Gestalt character help: Tome of Battle focus

    So, as the title suggests, I'm trying to build a gestalt character for a game taking place soon, and I'd like to focus on one (or two) of the three ToB classes. My first thought was to do a Warblade/UASwordsage character build, which looks good on paper (good BAB, all three excellent saves, all...
