as an exercise of thought, why not also a divine, incarnum or shadow spell resistance too? technically, if you want to slice it thusly, go ahead, but i'd rather not. divine is a different distinction than arcane, as are numerous other sources, but i find it far easier to read "spell resistance"...

i think, from the PHB2, there's some pretty neat barbarian-oriented feats that always caught my eye: ruinous rage (or something of the like), that gives an additiona +2 to str and con while raging. also, mad foam rager - it delays any damage taken for 1 round, and i've seen it save some people's...

i've found that, when making a new campaign with new players, it's always fun to get everyone to roughly hash out 2 or 3 PCs each. nothing serious, just light stats and whatnot. then, each chooses one and begins the adventure. if someone dies, they reach for another sheet. or, during a rest or...

not entirely certain, but i'm thinking either the draconomicron (draconic grafts), or lords of madness (weirdo grafts). to be honest though, i think lords of madness explains them much more fully, so that might be your best bet. haven't really had a lot of experience with them, mostly because my...

BLAST! most of my ideas for rogue have already been taken. but to be honest, i'd say a quick fix would be a re-appraisal of his choice in feats...they stink. craven, staggering strike, demonic sneak attack, flick of the wrist and leadership would be nice. craven and staggering strike just go...

just a quick reply, but based on a reading of the terms, i'd say that it's possible to have both prescience and enhanced awareness, but you'd lose out on your familiar and your bonus spells. some may think this is a worthwhile trade, while others may not. ultimately, however, it's your DMs call...

in all honesty, i'd second dandu. most people on these forums probably have far more experience with d20 or core stuff. for instance, you want a "tinker", but this mechanically could be accomplished, like dandu suggested, with a psion. however, my suggestion would be to try a conjurer...

however, it should be noted that when the bear does gain a boost to its HD, i'd wager that it should be treated as any other monster, under the "improving monsters" heading in the DMG. except for the size-increase, somewhere, i do recall that bit was supposed to be ignored, because it's not...

i'd probably allow this, since each of the resistance abilities (one for each "element") that you're attempting to put onto the armour are $18,000, each. i'd be inclined to consider it five individual instances of resistance and would let it fly - this is one of the rare times it would, however...

ironically, that's just what i did here...at least i think. take a look and let me know what you think? smallredtable: the soulknife

just to clarify, you meant "berserk" as a figure of speech, and not the actual "berserk" which is an add-on to the barbarian's rage ability, right? because, if you meant it the way i interpreted it, i didn't think that spell or spell-like ability use was allowed during a rage.

ah, i knew it might've been something along that route. i mean, i was skimming but i probably should've examined the thread closer.

just noticed this. refresh me on how he's able to toss so many d6's as a 13th level psion? typically, unless i've seriously misunderstood some things, a psion cannot spend more than their manifester level on a single power (barring really specialized events or items) ever. i'm not being critical...

dandu basically nailed it. however, off the top of my head, i'd say stock up on cheap, mostly empty wands, and store them in a wand bracer, so you don't have to waste an action to yoink one out. oh, and try to get all of the meta spell-like abilities, such as maximize, empower, etc. you won't...

hey all, like it says on the can, i'm unable to post a link to my siggy. i messaged another member of the site to ensure it wasn't just me, and it appears it may be. in the preview, the link looked good, but i was informed of the following error: BB code url is not allowed he nor i could...

hmm, some first thoughts. 1. when i read "Ghostly Visage" i cringed. that thing is death by itself. 2. call me a curmudgeon, but i don't let PCs be dread necros, even if they're evil, for precisely the reasons you pointed out. i found that the battle soon became a "Roll init for everyone...

my first thought was for him to simply get a magebred warhorse. i think it's in MM3, but i'm not near me books. nice bonuses and it's smarter than a normal horse too. edit: sorry i thought you said warHORSE, not warFORGED. :P

i've got a hexblade fix collected from crawling various boards. check the almost-link in my sig if you're interested. edit: or here, cause i shouldn't be so lazy: http://smallredtable.blogspot.com/2010/09/hexblade.html

personally, i always felt an assassin was just someone who was really good at killing. i was tinkering with the idea of introducing a variant assassin prestige class my my campaign that would take into consideration what you were before you joined it. like, for instance, a roguish character...

there's a feat in complete scoundrel that actually gives the spellthief a much-needed shot in the arm; it's called master spellthief and i'd really recommend checking it out. i'd relate it to you, but i haven't been on the boards in a while, and am unsure if i'm allowed to do such a thing...
