I find your offensive post disturbing. Yay! We both find things disturbing!

You'll notice that my player didn't choose the Blackguard Prestige Class, even though it is the epitome of a fallen Paladin. What 3.X ed DID do, however, is put a STANDARD out there for such concepts. In some cases (in my experience), this can shoe horn creativity. I'm not saying it ALWAYS...

Do me a favor and google "Microlite20". If DnD were math, 3.5 ed would be Calculus based Physics while Microlite20 is Math Theory. This is my Scientific Wild Arse Guess as to why DMing/Playing 3.5 ED feels like a chore. 1. Someone told a great fantasy story. 2. Someone wanted to relive that...

I've already started to tweak and modify the rule set. This is what I've done so far: Fighters add +1 to all attack and damage rolls every third level. They can wear any kind of armour and use shields. They have a +3 bonus to Physical. Rogues can use light armour, one handed weapons melee...

I think I just pooped a little. I want to make hawt, sweet, inappropriate love to Microlite20. Seriously, this system (I skipped all 40 pages, so I'm talking about the core PDF you handed out) makes me want to DM again. What I love about it is how easy it is to ad-hoc and customize the...

What a great idea... ...YOINK!

You know, I didn't think the idea through past the initial concept...but these are all issues I'd have to face if I ever actually ran this concept as a campaign. In my mind, though, there is a clear distinction between "Divine Life Force/Healing" and "Natural Healing", with Divine Life...

Why is that so difficult? "Alright, team! What kind of characters are we rolling up tonight?" "I wanna play a Frenzied Berzerker!" "Ooh! Oooh! I want to try a Shadow Mage!" "I've had this Warlock character in my mind for a while..." "You know, would you mind if I tried a Shadow Dancer?"...

I've met one or two players that enjoy the healing aspect of playing a Cleric. I've met dozens (at least) that don't. DnD, in its gut, is a game about glory and fantasy. As a Barbarian, I can rampage around the field of battle, build a stack of enemy bodies, and stand atop it while...

If you don't mind some lite reading, pick up Lisa Smedman's "Viper's Kiss" (I think that's the title) series. It deals extensively with the Yuan-Ti, and I find Lisa Smedman to be one of the more talented WotC authors.

I like the idea of a Lawful Evil Drow Businessman who seems perfectly polite and cordial, but signs you up for contracts like "Interest Only Loans". "Now you're stuck with high interest premiums for the rest of your life! MUHAHAHAHAHA!" ... I think I just felt a new NPC form in my head...

This is why people hate Drow PCs. -The Drow are one of those "Taboo" races...like Mind Flayers. They are buried hundreds of miles below the earth, indoctrinated to be as evil as possible, kept under the perpetual thumb of an extremely evil Demon Queen (now with God status), and given stats...

Let's play theory-craft! I'd say Jarlaxle is something like a Swashbuckler 8/Rogue 9 with the "Daring Outlaw" feat from Complete Scoundrel. Isn't there a Prestige Class out there that deals with "Luck" a lot? That could work. Nothing fancy, just a maxed out Use Magic Device and unimaginable...

Think about it, though. You've got a cultured, thinly built, aristocratic "Foreigner" that uses scimitars coupled with a huge, blond, massively muscled "Barbarian King" fighting vicious warriors led by a dark priestess. Can there be any mistake at all? (for those of you who live under a rock...

In case you guys are wondering, the casting call for Drizzt and Wulfgar has already been answered.

This is EXCELLENT!

Might I suggest Crusader from ToB?

What about something like Hexblade 3/Fighter2/DD 10? Of course, this diverges greatly from the original post...

I despise party imbalance due to stats, both as a player and as a DM. I've been in games where stat imbalances made halfling rogues better warriors than the half-orc barbarian. I've been in games where spellcasters were unable to get higher level spells because they rolled poorly. It just...
