    Class 'tweaks' - cost a feat, or even swap?

    I have seen the fighter with sneak attack in action and it isn't bad at all. A fighter without bonus feats has nothing. He still gets Weap Spec at 6th but that doesn't make up for the lack of Power Attack, Cleave, Great Cleave, Iproved Crit at 8th, etc. The lack of Tumble makes the fighter have...

    Class 'tweaks' - cost a feat, or even swap?

    I didn't vote because I don't quite see the need for the question given the existence of Unearthed Arcana which is fair game at our table. Nearly every combination is given in that book so I say use that book as a foundation for any such requests. If that doesn't cut it then allow the three...

    Do you ever worry your character is too powerful?

    I said yes because it has happened. I made a Steward of the Flame from Dragon Magazine that was just unreal. More often than not it is up to the DM to decide.

    Counterspelling?

    I voted unheard of because I have seen it twice since 3rd began. Twice from the same DM about three years apart. With all due respect to CSers, why would I bother when I could just KILL you? By the time CSing becomes decent I should have enough magic at my disposal to just kill you. And how...

    How well do you have to know a game to run it?

    I say the more you know the better off you are. One thing I haven't seen anyone bring up is responsibility. If you are younger or running the game for newer or younger players they may be less responsible and may be more prone to take advantage of you and the rules. The same goes for immature...

    you drew the short end of the stick

    Never. And if it happened mid-game I would probably leave.

    How good of a DM are you?

    Ten of my sixteen years of gaming behind the shield. I'd say I'm probably the best I know but that being said I am really good but not great. I find that I need a rules lawyer (my friend James) to function but I trust him and I still have final say. I play the same role for him. I probably spend...

    RPGs as Stories, or Board games?

    It has always been epic drama and storytelling in campaigns I have run. Having just finished playing about four hours ago I will illustrate. The party had to decide whether to infiltrate the evil lich's tomb to steal her phylactery (which happens to be the Heart if Darkness mentioned in the...

    What should the next "Monster Type" book from WotC be?

    What? Fey is winning? How can this be? Must say I would not buy that book and I would lynch any DM of mine who thought he was going to make good use of it. Seriously the more I think about it I wish I could change my vote to constructs. I think that would be best with new spells and construct...

    What should the next "Monster Type" book from WotC be?

    Book of Fiends. For sure. Followed by elementals. Fey are dead last in my book. I'd rather see ANIMALS than fey!

    A 10 level Prestige Class that gets 1d6 Sneak Attack damage every level: Unbalanced?

    Quick answer no. Long answer even more no. No class should build faster than a rogue. The rogue/assassin thing is acceptable. Don't forget to add an extra die to your sneak attack damage is an epic feat.

    Fellow DM, How do you handle Hit Point at each new level ?

    Max at first DMG style. Re roll ones after that of fixed hp from the DMG but once you choose it sticks no matter what class (i.e. barbarian benefits much less than a wizard).

    The Abishai

    Good work. Messed up thing is that I am about to hand these over to my DM because I see devils on the horizon in his game. Sucks to be me!

    Seriously thank you. That was cool man. I expected to come back to this thread and get flamed for my post. That is the problem with boards. If we knew each other you would know I was just being constructive but because it is just words you could think I was being a jerk. Thank you for being...

    Okay. He got caught and I called him on it that is all. It was called something else and was different. No big deal. :cool:

    I wonder where I've seen that before... Quagmire (Su): Three times per day, a beige slaad can create a 20 ft. square of quicksand from any natural, undressed earth or stone within 30 ft. A character approaching a patch of quicksand at a normal pace is entitled to a DC 8 Survival check to spot...

    G'riou, the Shambling Monstrosity

    How about having the poison produse a Mr. Creosote-like effect (from Mony Python fame). They victim grows larger until it explodes. Use the game mechanics for positive energy except make it a build up effect that kills the victim. Constistution-based of course. Sorry no time to elaborate tonight!

    Freedkin Okay so now I understand the rules a little better. Here is something I am almost done with. I'll post the rest (description and such) if anyone is interested. It has something to do with an ancient giant who saw the far side of the universe and it blew his mind! Freedkin Large Giant...

    I always thought this one was my best slaadi. Antimagic Slaad Large Outsider (Chaotic, Extraplanar) Hit Dice: 15d8+105 (172 hp) Initiative: +9 Speed: 30 ft. (6 squares) Armor Class: 31 (+5 Dex, +17 Natural, -1 Size) touch 14, flat-footed 26 Base Attack/Grapple: +15/+28 Attack: Slam +23 melee...
