    Miniatures that closely resemble the DRAGONLANCE Characters?

    Just thought I'd give you a list of the miniatures we use in our game. However, I've been told some of them might be as hard to get as the official ones: Tanis: Free league ranger. #16 angelfire set Tasslehoff: Halfling Wizard. #18 archfiends set Gilthanas: male human swordmage #3 arcane...

    Character Creation in Low Magic Games

    So, you nerf full casters (by limiting save DC's and caster levels). non-casters are unaffected, as are gish-types. non-casters still fall behind when compared to (optimized) gishes. It becomes less interesting to play a full caster. You'll probably have to re-write every other encounter to...

    Looking for advice to append rogue build

    Took another look at the Temple Raider, and now remember why we dismissed it: The way it's set up, it mainly adds rogue abilities to a non-rogue. Rogues get significantly less out of the PrC (already have SA, Trap Sense, (Improved) Uncanny Dodge, Trapfinding....) Regular cleric sounds a lot...

    Looking for advice to append rogue build

    Actually, you do have an arcane caster level to qualify for prc's (as can be learned from the specific section in complete arcane) as long as the requirement is '(arcane) caster x) instead of 'able to cast x lvl spells' the warlock qualifies. I'll take another look at US and AT. Dandu: isn't...

    Looking for advice to append rogue build

    Ok, some answers to your questions: She's a 'backstabber' and the face of the party (most of the time). You should be able to gain her basic interest from the feat and skill selection. Her character background was 'prostitute who decided the adventuring life was more to her liking'. (before...

    Looking for advice to append rogue build

    I've got a player in my party with a lvl 10 rogue who just levelled to lvl 11. This character was originally created using Rules Cyclopedia D&D rules, and later converted to 3.5 Because of several decisions made on character creation, she's got a rather strange set of stats for a rogue...

    enlarge person vs fireballs

    I'll see your fireball and raise with Enlarged Maximized Empowered Corrupted Transdimentional Fireball. With a cherry on top!

    Going crazy with ACF's?

    Altough I believe it is far from an optimal PrC, I have a similar background character (hates spellcasters) that has been building towards Occult Slayer. You might want to check that PrC out as well.

    Earning Feats

    Although I don't know of an actual explicit rule reference for or against banking, I'd allow it under the same restrictions as retraining: once you take the feat, you have to stick to the restrictions applicable to your character when the feat 'slot' was gained. Example: if you get a new feat...

    polymorph question

    Unless it's a Sizing weapon, or all magical equipment in your campaign world automatically has the Sizing property (I've known of some Houserules using that to avoid 'mismathed' weapon and armor when the spoils of war are your main source for magical items) your weapon stays the size it was.

    Ignoring diagonal movement cost?

    You could also use a hex-map

    Entitlement and "standard equipment"

    Just to get the basic facts straight: 1. You have a campaign where you might not get access to something like a Healing Belt easily. 2. You have a rule in place that all equipment a character has when he dies is returned with him to his family or burried with him. 2.a This also applies to...

    Taking 20 in Use Rope - Bind a Character

    Except that with Search, you will have had a '20' on one of your rolls. With Use Rope, only your last roll is used (re-binding someone would require you to unbind them first) Unless you want to use a seperate rope for each Use Rope check, resulting in a large number of ropes tying up your...

    Arcane Prestige class needed.

    If you are considering Sacred Exorcist, you might also want to check out the Silver Pyromancer from Eberron: Five Nations. You loose a caster level, but get to use your (arcane) caster level as your effective cleric level for turn undead. also, it damages undead instead of turning them, and adds...

    XP Question

    2x CR8. Even if they amount to the same XP value (didn't check), higher level characters don't get XP for low CR monsters. (check the table)

    XP Question

    ...and with all that build focus and money instead invested in UMD and custom wands of disintegration (with increased save DC or something) you can blast your way through most encounters. However, I give you that the fixed DC is an oversight. So, why not fix the diplomacy check instead of...
