Hexblade//Warlock - Simply brimming with fun flavor and moderate power. Swashbuckler//Wizard - Now THAT is a real Bladesinger! Barbarian/Frenzied Berzerker//Fighter/Reaping Mauler - Thibbledorf Pwent to the rescue! Warblade/Swashbuckler//Swordsage - Done right, you get Str/Dex/Int on all...

I pre-ordered. Sure, there will be errors. Sure, there will probably be errata. Still, as a grown man, there are few things that make me giggly and wiggly. DnD happens to be one of them. WotC happens to BE DnD right now. Hence, I have no problem giving WotC the assurance of my pre-ordered...

IMC, Monks have always been affiliated with a religion, and serve as the "Rogues" in a temple comprised of non-alignment specific Paladins and Clerics. Hence, Divine Striker.

Multi classing is one of the great strengths of 3.xE. It hits the other side of "Homebrew Everything" ala 2nd Edition by hard coding versatility. The drawback, of course, is that you need be an accountant before you can create a very specifically focused character build :p Personally, I'm all...

I will cry big, manly tears of unrestrained retributive rage if Loviator and Ilmater are not present in 4E. You've been warned.

Sweet! I'm in Santa Ana, CA! Email incoming!

The picture of the Blood Fiend and the Cambions makes me all wiggly inside. Wait...maybe that's from the shellfish I ate yesterday. I gotta go.

It's all about image and flavor. All you need to do is create some BBEGs and NPCs that are badass Defender builds. Also, think outside the box when it comes to "roles". Too often someone says "Defender", and immediately an image of a dwarven tank, outfitted in Full Plate/Tower Shield, comes...

This part is very telling, as well. Rather than challenge the player with touch attacks, save or suck spells, social encounters, skill encounters, or any other experience that exploits the PC's weakness...he instead decides to wave around his "DM Man Part" and arbitrarily take away something...

This is the problem. You pulled in 90,000 gold worth of stuff from that battle. 90,000 divided by 5 = 18,000 per person. 90,000 - 25,000 = 65,000 divided by 5 = 13,000 per person. You want every other person to give up 5,000 gold for your PC's shield...that equals roughly 28% of their...

I've been abstaining from any and all DnD until 4E comes out...but reading this makes me want to host a PbP M20 game just for the heck of it. What I love about M20 is that it provides a basic skeleton to do whatever the heck you want. One of my big gripes about 3.xE was that the rule...

I've heard of some people using damage types to inflict small AoE against enemies. For every iterative attack, an additional bad guy would be effected in that AoE. i.e. A Great Axe (slashing) is used in a wide arc. Hence, it could effect more than one enemy in a 180 degree arc in front of the...

Moff_Tarkin, What was the grand total of the haul after the battle? Are we talking 200K+ worth of gold? What was each party member's share of the gold? --- Currently, you're presenting your case without context. Until we can see and compare what type of sacrifice you're expecting from your...

Doh, I thought I might have hit the nail on the head regarding GnomeWork's issues.

Monks are ALWAYS divine in nature IMC...except when Psionics are involved. I like the idea of a Divine Monk Striker, with the plate wearing Paladin as a Defender.

I HIGHLY recommend you read Bernard Cornwall's "The Archer's Tale" series. It is essentially a historical fiction based on the life of an archer. Everything in the book is taken from history, and the standard rules of "reality" are in clear effect. Aside from drawing the conclusion I'll try...

Those aren't actually pants, but rather a collection of S&M belts of varying sizes. So, technically, the tiefling stole his belts.

The party paladin slowly approaches on his celestial warhorse. Nearly a hundred paces away, mounted on a steed with reptilian eyes and claws instead of hooves, sits the man responsible for all the party's pain, suffering, and loss. His armor seems to soak up the light, his helm fully obscures...

After a coworker and I had a heated debate about this very topic, I decided to put it to the EN World community to see if similar results ensue. By "similar results", I don't mean a heated debate, but rather the topic of the debate. There are no guidelines, and no set standards (aside from...

(I apologize for reviewing so many current novels. I'm trying to cover those most recently read) Richard Lee Byers (Unclean) The Good -Good characterization. I genuinely liked the characters, and never once had an "eye rolling" moment. All characters are flawed, all have issues, and yet all...
