    Champion of Correlon

    no books here but I recall elf or half elf any good alignment dodge, combat expertise, one of either weapon focus longsword or exotic weapon proficency in lightblade, thinblade, or courtblade, and mounted combat. +7 BAB two skills (one of which I remeber is diplomacy) at some fairly low...

    Champion of Correlon

    I just got a copy of races of the wild. I looked at the champion of corellon prestige class. It has: ten sided hit dice, full BAB, four bonus feats, dex bonus to damage that stacks with strength bonus, it allows the character to bypass the dex restrictions on armor and, as if that weren't...

    What does RAW stand for?

    Yes please notice that my number of posts is fairly small. I've been away since November 2002 or so. The acronym "RAW" was not used frequently before I left.

    Gestalt: Twink it! Twink it GOOD!

    I can't imagine that I fighter/rouge would be a bad choice, sneak attack , skills, feats. Nor would a Warlock/Wizard. (always the right spell for the job)

    No, I'm serious what does it mean?

    Tired of d20 yet?

    I was incredibly sick of D&D, (the only D20 game that gets played around my parts). So were many of my friends. So we played Fireborn, we played the end of the world in a Werewolf the appocalypse game, I ran an exalted game for ten sessions, we played Ars Magica (which is still going strong...

    He IS getting further understanding in the ways of magic. Just that the particular understanding that he gets has nothing to do with spells. You might as well ask why a wizard continues to get more spells when it's clear that their understanding of magic obviously isn't getting any deeper as...

    What does RAW stand for?

    Folks here use the acronym RAW frequently What does it mean? Rules as Written? Ridiculus Agravation from WotC? Read it And Weep?

    Fantasy Flight Games is having another sale . . .

    School of Illusion and school of Evocation were (IMO) the two best spell collections published for 3.0. I was really disappointed that they weren't profiable enough to be continued. Divination and abjuration could have really used that sort of treatment.

    The Tarrasque

    On this board a few years ago someone came up with the idea of attacking the tarrasque with a whole mess of stirges. Sure the tarrasque can crush them like ants but stirges have a touch attack that sucks Con and the Tarasque has a pretty low touch AC. Once the tarasque reaches 0 con it's time...

    Help me minmax a rogue bruser

    I was picking up power attack in order to get cleave. i was happy to see that it is at least occasionally useful now.

    Familiars!

    These were pretty powerful for their level. Having an air elemental familiar is a big step up, saftey wise, from a toad.

    When your spellslinger wants some armor...

    There were rules for alchemically hardened wooden armor in a Dragon magazine that came out just after 3.0 was released (it had elves as a special feature). Armor was not too dissimialr to mithril but slightly inferior and cheeper.

    Help me minmax a rogue bruser

    I just worked out how good power attack is for the character (at start). I was surprised to learn that I do greater average damage power attacking when I need a thirteen or lower to hit when not sneak attacking or an 11 or lower if I get the sneak attack (I didn't include crits in my analysis...

    Help me minmax a rogue bruser

    These sound like solid suggestions. I might drop the +1 on the chain shirt for 1000 and invest in a STR adjusted composite longbow and arrows. I'll be with two rangers I imagine that we'll frequently be outdoors and want to engage foes at range and force them to come to us.

    Help me minmax a rogue bruser

    You misunderstand my intentions. The characer will be a rogue from here on out (baring the possibility of a prestige class). The level of barbarian is so the character can be a rogue with 40' movement and rage who sneak attacks with a great axe (or strength adjusted composite longbow). Are...

    Help me minmax a rogue bruser

    Took me a while to find it So the strength bonus to hit is sucked up by the multiple action penalty. But I would get the same damage bonus and an additional attack (which would be especially nice when I'm using a two-handed weapon). I wouldn't get the hit point bonus but I would get an AC...

    Help me minmax a rogue bruser

    Dang! I thought that I edited that mistake before anyone noticed. I'm keeping the rogue with a single level of barbarian. If I went with your concept I'd end up with slightly better BAB and much better hit points but vastly inferior skills. That wouldn't keep the roguness that I'm shooting...

    Help me minmax a rogue bruser

    That's a good suggestion I think that I'll take it. There are some fun things up the tree from expertise aren't there? Perhaps one point each in order to get them up to the next bonus but I'd like to do strength as well and doing both con and dex pushes off a 20 strength until level 16...
