    Exchanging Feats

    I would also add that it should be a combat/metamagic related feat. Some feats like Iron Will and Toughness reflect the physical/mental improvement of the character and wouldn't make much sense to remove. Retraining from archery to mounted combat makes more sense than trading improved mental...

    Helpless But Standing

    So the dagger to the throat in my opinion would result in 1 of 2 ways. 1) grappled and pinned and then threatened with the dagger. 2) surprised from behind via stealth and then threatened with the dagger. The first would follow the helpless defender rules. The second would use a little more DM...

    I'll see your rage... and raise you one... animal companion?

    I would say that dropping Wild Shape and Animal Companion and picking up the Ranger's Combat Style and I would probably throw in Evasion as well, would be a fair trade. I never use Wild Shape anyways. Why get rid of the Companion?

    Helpless But Standing

    Or simply outpower the PCs with magic. Wand of Disintegration or Finger of Death pointed at them is a lot more threatening than a Crossbow. Or have the guards threaten a weaker NPC that the PCs have to protect. As far as the knife to the throat, use the Helpless Defender rules like everyone...

    D&D 3.x 3.5e NG aligned Paladin-like class?

    I would argue to play a melee ranger. You aren't required to use 2-weapon style and the favored enemy bonuses tailored towards typical evil opponents would simulate the smite evil ability, but with more uses. As far as the mount you can get a heavy Riding Horse for an animal companion and train...

    Buying equipment for monsters

    Any good ideas on how a monster (say a troll or hill giant) can get his hands on appropriate sized magic items? Lets assume evil.

    Elusive Target

    That doesn't sound like Dandu at all. Usually he would say something about wizards rocking and putting fighters on the bench to keep it warm. Did Dandu just imply that fighters can outperform wizards in at least 1 field? Dear God, the world must be coming to an end!!!!!!!

    Wishes question

    Still not sure what everyone is talking about when they say the PC would get bonus/free XP. In my book tacking on a LA means that the character would have to earn LA*1000 more each level to level up. There wouldn't be any retroactive adjustments. The PC wouldn't get free money to match him to...

    Would any of the arguements have changed if the PC was lvl 10 or 15? If so why?

    Hate to say it, but I don't think this discussion got anywhere. Anyone else feel dizzy from going in circles?

    Wishes question

    I think you got LA confused by something else. LA doesn't increase your Character Level, you don't get XP, feats, skills, class features or anything. It's a penalty. A lvl 1 Drow uses his spell-like abilities as a lvl 1 sorcerer not a lvl 3 sorcerer (LA +2). I was reading somewhere about...

    Skeleton Weapons and Armor

    Except that you strip all class levels away and only retain the base race HD. A 10th level fighter becomes a 1 HD skeleton. But I do like the idea of retaining weapon and armor proficiencies of the dead creature. Otherwise you could give a skeleton of a former mage a polearm and plate...

    Wishes question

    A Troll character is tagged with a ECL +5, but this is also because he's large, gets huge str and con bonuses, and +5 to Natural AC. Is a ECL +2 fair enough to tag the PC with or should it be higher?

    I know it's huge, that's why I wanted to tag a ECL penalty with it.

    Ring of Regen is 1/HD/hour. Nice, but not to useful in combat.

    Skeleton Weapons and Armor

    And what about armor? If it is proficient with a shield, should it be proficient with armor as well? There is a picture in Unearthed Arcana next to the Necromancy Specialist showing a skeleton in chainmail, but I cannot find any text that allows this.

    Wishes question

    If a PC wished for Regeneration 5 or Fast Heal 5 as a permanent effect, and the DM allowed it, would that tack on any ELC adjustments? If so how much? Or barring a wish, how could a PC gain said properties? How about immunity to petrification?

    Skeleton Weapons and Armor

    I know this is asked a lot, but there doesn't seem to be any clarity in the answers. So here we go again. Human Warrior Skeleton, what can you give him to use proficiently.
