It is never to late to make a poll, just edit your post. For myself, unless driven in a Narativist or Simulationist direction by the GM/players, I tend to default to Gamist. My goal at that point tends to be to have fun in a social context of for my character to survive and succeed at whatever...

I was kind of wondering how long it would be before someone mentioned the Whirling Dervish. Really, it does seem to be EXACTLY what you are looking for.

Eschew Materials - nice flavor, almost never comes into play Improved Bullrush - not a bad ability, but seems like most GMs/Authors don't bother putting in features that would make it worthwhile unless PCs are the ones meant to be pushed in... Improved Overrun - as the base overrun mechanic is...

Just remember that a lovechild sword is a long sword with a longer hilt.

Actually, if the PCs went throught the door the round after the Spectre became aware of them, then they and the golems would roll initiative as normal, since being notified during the suprise round doesn't allow them to act. If it does, then I have been seriously screwed over by GMs.

So how long can you leave a bow strung without damage? I expect some of the longer RL battles had archers using their bows for 8 hours or more at a stretch. Seems that unless the party is force marching, there is no real reason that you can't travel through dangerous terrain with the bow strung.

Improved Sunder Just seems like a way for the PCs to destroy treasure for the GM. :p My early tip: Natural Spell I think it should win, because, like LightPhoenix said, it is about the best option a druid can take. That said, I expect Power Attack to win, having seen it be the death of so...

Diehard and Spell Mastery Diehard only keeps you standing so that iterative/multiple attacks can kill you instead of knocking you out. Spell Mastery really only comes into play in the rare campaign where the GM messes with you spellbook.

First point: This is not munchkinism or powergaming. He is using two feats and a weapon from the PHB. The bylaws on powergaming clearly require at least 3 'items' from 2 two different sources that are not part of the three core books before it qualifies. KaeYoss's exmple is a good one for...

That wasn't directed at you as much, and I appreciated the clarification

In response to 'They don't get it' Okay, now I have a better idea where you are coming from. I don't feel that your SO has to understand what you do to support your doing it. I am not really digging into the reasons with a simple post. All I am really asking is: Do you get flack for your...

If your SO knows you are gaming, they are either okay with it or they aren't. Unless of course you would care to expand on what you mean by 'They don't get it.'

From some of the talking, it seem like the texas rangers are more of a throwback to medieval times people that were the inspiration for the class...

As many of you know, contrary to popular belief many gamers DO in fact have romantic relationships. Between RL and the boards, I have been introduced to the (I believe) full spectrum of attitudes of SO's toward gaming. I and many others actively game with ours. Others I have met and played...

I understand keeping a bow strung at all times will stretch out the string. This will become particularly problematic in very moist climates or weather. Given all the other things that D&D doesn't cover, I wouldn't worry about the strung bow. Heck, if armor and weapons don't rust... As far...

I think Bront has the right of it so far. What a lot of people seem to be missing in this whole discussion is that you don't play a paladin the same in all campaign types. A paladin played 'high fantasy' style in this campaign would last about as long as Roy Rogers in one of the darker Clint...

Heavy Armor Proficiency I am inclined to agree with several people, if you want heavy armor proficiency, take level of a class that gives it to you. Chances are, if you don't have a class with proficiency, you will be hamstrug by it anyway. I would have voted for all armor proficiencies, but...

That is what skill check modifiers are for.

Craig Top Archer does a pretty good job for long range sniping, at least for the range part. Only 5 levels, too.

Combat Casting Skill Focus: Concentration give +3 for all checks, not just defensive casting.
