Strongarm Bracers let you count as 1 size category larger for the purpose of what weapons you can wield, so that'd let you do it without taking the -2. On the other hand, that's coming from your gear rather than from you. Definite loss of cool factor there. Personally I'd just take the -2 to...

Heh, great, there goes my afternoon. Thanks, Gez. :p

*nod* As Hyp said, DRs don't stack. The only area where having multiple sources of DR is beneficial is when they have different bypasses. A Barbarian with DR 2/-, wearing a cloak that gives DR 5/magic would have DR 5, unless struck by a magical weapon, in which case his /magic DR is...

Personally, I'm really not a big fan of the "Class Levels In A Can" aspect that the Monk's Belt offers, but yeah.. officially it does grant the Wis bonus to AC thing. If it didn't, it'd be a lot cheaper. What I want to know is where is the "Rage as a 5th lvl barbarian" or "Sneak Attack as a...

... but ... mind flayers ... ceremorphosis ... they're not even sexual creatures, damnit! It'd like saying a pair of lesbians, a medusa and an earth elemental. Or a medusa and a half-celestial gelatinous cube.

I'm quite fond of dipping to flesh out a character concept, particularly when done with base classes. Most PrCs have some degree of concept built in... kinda goes without saying... but base classes are a lot more free-form. Two barbarians from completely different cultures are a bit similar...

PC nailed it. The Far Realms arn't evil. Some of its denizens may be, but the same can be said of anywhere. The Far Realms are much more about fundamental chaos than they are about evil. The Far Realms are much more like Limbo taken to the Nth degree. Even in Limbo if there is something...

Color it as sort of a passive versus active divide. That's sort of how I see it, anyway. Hi-C is sort of passively psionic simply by virtue of being so chock full of cosmic awesomeness. His dreams are so big that that they drift about and occasionally brush against the minds of other, lesser...

I love me some huge 2-headed pyro wyvern. Very classic 2-headed beastial dragon monster. As for my players ... 'love' isn't exactly the word for their reaction to it. :p

That's the thing though, other than the dreaming/unconscious telepathy deal, I can't think of much psionic about Heavy C. I don't doubt in the slightest that illithids as a monster started off conceptually as cthulhuoid horrors from the unknown, but the two paths quickly diverged. Elder...

It's a very neat idea, but no, I wouldn't do it. Level discrepency is a major pain in the ass, both for the players and the DM.

Oh right.. the actual question. Warlock's definitely one. Most of the ToB classes can do well also. Rogue definitely. Probably the best, I'd say. Fighter can do well with only bare minimums. 13 in str, int, and/or dex to cover entry requirements for certain feat chains and off you go...

...lately? What, did Hong become all puppies and sunshine at some point and I just didn't notice?

Cthulhu: Squid head, aquatic, wings, eternal hunger, husky, sleeps a lot. Illithids: Squid heads, hate bright light, psionic, lazy, eats brains, waifishly thin, big on leather gowns and goth accessories. Yeah, ya know, other than the squid head thing there's not a lot of similarity going on.

*nod* Think back to a lot of the Ye Olde Strongman stereotypes. Often times they guy was just plain big in all dimensions - tall, with thick, meaty limbs and a big ol' gut. The description one of my friends gave me went something along the lines of: you walk around carrying 100 lbs of cargo...

Bucklers are more expensive and made of metal. You can use a bow or crossbow with a buckler, you cannot with a light shield. You cannot bash with a buckler. The only-against-one-target thing for bucklers was from 2nd ed, I believe. Possibly earlier. Bucklers are basically a gentleman's...

No it doesn't, and no it shouldn't. If it had the max=your HD limitation it'd only be worthwhile to multiclass bards. As was said, it's basically just a +1/+1 to one facet of bardic music anyway.

Half-Celestial Gelatinous Cubes (with Cleric levels!) are the very apotheosis of cool.

I'd say Lava is stone, and thus the spell would affect it. Very, very briefly. Unless that's a shallow pool of lava, the frozen stuff's going to get get heated back up by the surrounding lava right quick.

Benign mothaf#$%in' Transposition. I love that spell in ways that should not be legal. Baleful's not half bad either.
