This is a House Rule, so don't crawl down my throat with RAW. I ran into this problem as well...similar to the rogue that checks every square for traps...and takes 20! It seriously slows down gameplay and creates a "Laggy Scrabble Player" feel for the other members. To deal with this, I...

I know the only real problem I had with them began in 2nd Edition. The Paladin in that edition was basically a Power Gamer's giggly soggy dream. The high pre-reqs and misc requirements seemed to rationalize a rather silly set of huge abilities that had a tendency to overshine the other...

I'm thinking some type of Monk/Cleric/Sacred Fist type of guy. Come on! I know it sounds funny, but think about it! Keanu really liked putting on some blessed brass knuckles and slugging demons (replicated by using Bless on his hands or Monk Ki Strike), he was extremely resistant to all types...

I don't want to turn this thread into an alignment debate, but here is how I generically view the various forms of Good. I'll follow with what I view to be the Exalted Equivalent. Lawful Good: You believe in ordered goodness and reason, with firm rules and regulations that ensure that people...

My life is full of silly DnD-isms from both me and my fiance. "Honey, stop trying to dab my eyes, you keep rolling ones" "Oh honey! You're a ranger!" (after a stray cat jumped in my lap and started purring) "She has SUCH a low Charisma!" Something about calling "Fork and Knife use" dual...

Dread Commando (Heroes of Battle...right up your alley on heavy armor and sneak attack) Invisible Blade (limited to daggers) Rokugan Ninja Base Class (No armor)

While not nearly as creative as the "Hin-amax" pun, my group did once fall over laughing at a really stupid encounter with a Beholder. Basically, the beholder had this really annoying habit of stressing "I" when he'd talk. Us: "So, what happens now?" Beholder: "Well...'I' would prefer that you...

I'm all for a d20 conversion. Sure, WoD has its own flavor. Sure, the system was designed for more social iteractions...but I hated how slow the occasional combat DID go, when it happened. With d20, you can do both social and combat using relatively easier systems. It would also make WoD...

Wow, nice answers. I think one little aspect that many roleplayers want to ignore is the fact that dwarves can use Dwarven War Axes as Martial Weapons. Sure, its only d2 more points of damage...but who in their right mind wouldn't use a superior weapon if they had the chance? Personally, I've...

Stay away from ranger. Put the ranger in a nice little box and save him for a different campaign. GO PALADIN! Lots of players take one look at the restrictions and say "The hell with it!", since they figure playing someone so straight-laced would be a real drag. It isn't. At all. In...

This is one of those issues that causes hexagonal castle sieges, craft-based propoganda pictures, and perform check-related protests. No one can agree, and everyone thinks that they have the right answer. Wanna know how my group and I have dealt with this tricky situation? Well, you're gonna...

The only authors I haven't seen mentioned are two favorites recently acquired. Richard Baker- Wrote "Last Mythal" and one of the Dark Elven Spider Queen books. Extremely easy to read, clear and crisp detail, likeable but human (ish...most are elves) characters that are easy to identify with...

I'd be tempted to use modified bless rules. The whip does subdual damage to everything BUT undead and other supernatural baddies, due to some type of bless/silver lacing/etc... Still, I think it'd be funny to see a low level whip user try and trip a vampire...then get tossed on his arse and...

Sounds like a plan! Anyone here feel like Dming?

Ah ha! Answered! Thanks!

Able learner is a human 1st level feat that makes all skills in-class. This makes me think they weren't considering this feat when they created the class... Its cool. I could just vary the cost to make it enterable only at 5th level or higher. Thanks!

Wait...those are ALL the pre-reqs? A human fighter with able learner could get in at level 3! Is that correct??

Storyteller- I think you're my new hero. I'm not the OP, but I'm actually working on a Monk/Cleric (Necromantic) type build that makes extensive use of animated undead and touch spells. He'll also focus heavily on Divine feats like Life Drain, since his Rebuking is much less powerful. That...

During an RP intensive campaign, I was trying to find out a way to create an enduring villain AND a reason for the ranger character to truly DESPISE orcs. So, I started the PC as 1st or 2nd level, then roleplayed her coming across her Lynx animal companion as a kitten. Meanwhile, rumors of the...

True, you can power attack with unarmed strikes...but power attack caters to those with high bab...which isn't monks. Especially at a low level, a monk would have to have a massive ability mod to even make decent use of Power Attack. Add to that the fact that using 2 Handers with Power Attack...
