My gut instinct for the Tiefling was the same as everyone else. "Ugh...such a cool race, but so lacking in crunch." I played one anyway (because that's how I role), and I was pleasantly surprised with my Tiefling Warlock. For one, I was able to minimize Charisma (Infernal Pact) without...

Wow, thanks for the advice! I'll have to shift around some powers/feats to get my Warlock into the thick of combat. I had wanted to take the PC in that direction anyway, so this is good. I'll do some forum searching for Infernal Warlock tactics, but in the meantime would you guys offer some...

This is a really, REALLY silly question...but I had to ask. The Infernal Pact Warlock has (98 x10^76) ways to gain Temporary HP...which, since they don't stack, means this type of Warlock expects to take a lot of damage and continually replenish their "Fake HP" storage. Several Warlock Powers...

I use this very thing in Microlite D20. Of course, I have "Offensive Weapons" and "Defensive Weapons" split into "Simple" and "Martial". Offensive Weapons: More damage, less defense. Greater damage die, no AC bonus. Thematically, "Offensive Weapons" are dual-wielded weapons and two-handed...

Hey folks, Previously I asked for some help on a specific class type, and I received some excellent suggestions. Hence, I'm turning to you guys again. I initially had a gestalt character build that went: Warlock/DemonBinder // Crusader The idea, of course, was for a "Unholy Warrior" who was...

I like. I'm considering adding a rebellious sect of males who worship Grazzt. Am I the only one who can't figure out why Grazzt wasn't the original Dark Elven Demon King? I mean...he even LOOKS like a Dark Elf!

I see both sides, and agree with both to some extent. Of course, the "Logic Must Win" side has/is the mainstay of 3.xE. The strengths of this side are easy to see. Actions make sense, things have a purpose, and the whole tends to make sense if you look at it closely. "I sneak attack the...

I should have expected that. What were the three "Forbidden DnD Topics?" Drow, Katana, and Anime? :p Actually, I really like anime and anime themes. I've always wanted to play in an anime themed game, where everyone could jump REALLY high and call on all sorts of nifty powers. A world...

I changed Drow mechanically because their current stat set doesn't make sense, in my opinion. Sure, their attribute modifiers do (Drow IMC have a higher Charisma due to a Spartan-like eugenics ritual)... ...but what about everything else? -Why does EVERY Dark Elf cast the same three spells...

Wait, keep reading! Don't give up now! This is part rant, part question. If you don't care about the rant, skip to the bottom. I like Gygaxian (may he rest in peace) Drow. They were a twisted, weird, otherworldly and sinister species that truly amazed and terrified players in D3. In that...

Woah...I keep hearing about this Nimblewright and how a lot of players are really into them. Unfortunately, I didn't see anything particularly compelling in the MM2 that made me eager to jump on the wagon. Will someone who shares in the Nimblewright love please fill me in on why so many people...

Wow. If they had a "Sacrificer" style class in 4e (regardless of its real name), I'd be all over it like captions on cats.

My head just exploded with the overabundance of awesome in that post.

Last night I had a dream that a huge, dinosaur-sized shark was on display at Sea World. The shark was over 100' long, and was truly horrific. Since it was a dream, it only made sense that it leaped over the side of the tank and flopped around on land... True story. Did I mention that I'm...

Thanks for all the advice, and please keep it coming! To summarize (and keep people from repeating previous suggestions): -Masochism (BoVD Spell): PERFECT! -Dragon Shaman: Wrong flavor...but maybe a mechanic I can steal for a homebrew. -Vicious Weapon: If I could find something that improved...

Hey folks, About a year ago I played a Psychic Warrior with my former group. Several games in, we needed to "kill him off" for a few reasons. So...I set about sticking him in front of the biggest monsters and the scariest BBEGs. Every time he would get hit, the group would cheer...

As an addendum to my above post, the example archetypes I listed ARE possible through single class builds. i.e. Necromancer -> Specialist Wizard, Unarmed Fighter -> Monk, etc... However...building these concepts with a single class will, typically, create a disadvantage for your character...

<---Is a Knave.

Unfortunately, I wish the above was true. However, in 3.xE there are a number of classic "Archetypes" that are really difficult to create mechanically and not fall FAR behind other classes in "crunch". i.e. I can create a "Swashbuckler" by, well, taking the Swashbuckler Base Class, maxing Dex...

I find that many DMs (myself in particular) fall into a dangerously predictable series of hooks. While these story paths may work and provide a lot of initial entertainment...after a while, the PCs get used to it. In the end, we fall victim to our own creativity. Hence, this is where I think...
