    Coup de grace

    In RAW does it say anything about performing a Coup de Grace being an evil act??

    New DM and virgin players

    I suggest starting at level 1 with the basics. This will make them appreciate the goodies they pick up along the way. I also don't always go by the XP per level chart, especially at low levels. Have them run a couple encounter then give them a level and some items. Do this til level 3 or 4 to...

    Assassination of the Prince

    Oh and if you feel like back pedaling at all to make the Drow a little more traditional the "King" could easily be the surface world puppet of the Matron Mothers who remained at home in the Underdark. Why risk there own necks when they could send a lowly male to do it ; ) The PC of course...

    Assassination of the Prince

    Glad i could help. Follow up and let us know how it goes. I'm always curious to see how these things play out. We can talk and plan all we want but when the players get involved things always take an unexpected turn ; )

    Assassination of the Prince

    Drow King?? Anyway, missions like this can be a lot of fun. In game, get the PC in a room and get them to brain storm ways to make this assassination happen. This will give you info on how they want to tackle the situation. Maybe a Drow NPC is there to help them procure supplies or provide some...

    Tips for a party without a fighter

    At lvl 1 your druid should be able to tank harder than a fighter would anyway. I like Riding Dogs as an animal companion with leather barding for the extra AC, if you can talk your DM into letting make the handle animal check (20+HD of animal) to apply the Warbeast Template (MMII) even better...

    Feat ideas for a kind of strange character

    Knowledge Devotion would help him hit and could be fluffed to fit with a tinkerers understanding of how things work and how to break them

    Vow of Poverty - Exact Wording (Semiexact :P)

    If a DM ever did that to me i would for sure leave their game. That is vindictive, targeted and metagaming all rolled into one. If you don't want a VoP character as a DM just ban it. Don't punish the player like that. Side note: What if a character with VoP uses the snatch arrow feat against a...

    D&D 3.x [3.5] Questions on druid build

    Use an armor that has no Armor check penalty and the Non Proficiency wont matter. Also if your handle animal ranks are decent see if you can train it to be a warbeast. Its a DC20+(HD of the animal) Handle Animal check that takes one month but it give all armor proficiencies as well as the...

    D&D 3.x Another "Wish" question. 3.5.

    I disagree. You could use the item that grants Deflect Arrows to gain access to the PrC but if you ever lost the item (stolen, sundered, taken off for a bath etc...) you would lose all the class features of the PrC until you regained the item or took the feat to fill the Pre Req.

    Front Line Tank - Build Help

    I'll agree that Cleric is a good choice, especially with those stats and starting at that level. Do you have any Deities in mind yet? You could make your cleric slightly more marshal by adding Pious Templar from Complete Divine. So Cleric6/Pious Templar2 would be your level 8 build

    D&D 3.x Whats a good 3.5E Archer race

    150,000gp!! Holy Crap!! That is more that 10x the normal WBL for a level 6 character, are you sure that's right or was it a typo??

    D&D 3.x [3.5] Making a Scout a better archer?

    Ranged Skirmisher increases the skirmish damage out to 60ft. Acrobatic Skirmisher give a bonus d6 when you tumble away from an AoO Ranger/Skirmisher w/ Swift Hunter is the best way to make an archer Scout IMO

    Gish with Swash??

    Fighter1/Wizard4 doesn't qualify for Spellsword (prereq +4 Bab) or Abjurant Champion (prereq +5 Bab) Unless there is something i'm missing.

    Gish with Swash??

    Why don't i see very many Gish builds suggestions starting Swash3/Wiz3?? More skills points and better class skills than fighter, free weapon finesse and Int to damage as well. Are 2 fighter feats that much better?? What about ranger as a full BaB class to start a Gish?? Do you have to be...

    Favorite Class

    1) Monk/Psychic Warrior (First Character I made and still one of the most fun) 2) Duskblade (Knowledge Devotion is one of my favorite feats and Duskblade makes it shine. Truestrike + Charge + 2 handed Power Attack is fun too) 3) Wilder (never played one but i built one for someone in my game...

    help me pick a couple elemental themed races

    That seems a little "nail on the head" compared to the choices for Earth and Air.

    Would you rather... (Game Style)

    Wait if you're assigned a specific role to play then it is not role-playing??

    help me pick a couple elemental themed races

    FIRE Maenads They have a very passionate fiery personality and there Outburst racial ability seems appropriate for a fire themed race. They make good Gish blasters too which seems about right for fire. Half-Giants are already Fire Acclimated but they are very similar to Goliaths so i would go...
