    Improved Unarmed Strike + Grappling

    The campaign is set up along the line of a set of schools.....opperated by several churches. All characters were trained by these schools. Selune, Mystra, Tymora, Torm, and Lathander set these schools up to combat Cyric, Bane, and Shar. All characters are selected at birth and trained up to...

    Improved Unarmed Strike + Grappling

    At this point, the game is only at level 3, but im definitely working towards reaping mauler. This kind of limits magic stuff I can get at this point...but when my warlock dies(I fully expect him to do so, considering how things have gone so far), ill bring this guy in. ;)

    Improved Unarmed Strike + Grappling

    Its mainly an anti-spellcaster tactic. ;) Working towards Reaping Mauler. Also taking Improved Grapple and Earth's Embrace. Once I pin them, Earth's Embrace gives me an extra 1d12 damage per round they are pinned. Most spellcasters arent that great on grapple checks. Depending on how well...

    Improved Unarmed Strike + Grappling

    While grappling, does a character with Improved Unarmed Strike still have the -4 penalty to deal lethal damage? I would assume they dont(as their unarmed strikes already do lethal), but its not clear. Im wondering because im working on a backup character(last 2 games, my warlock got to the...

    Complete Arcane - Whirling Blade

    This spell is nothing like scorching ray or manyshot. This spell is not a ray. It is not firing more than one arrow. Its one blade flying to strike everyone along the line.

    D&D 3.x Vampire 3.0 and 3.5

    Yea. In 3.5, magic doesnt trump everything else. if they have dr 10/silver and magic, it has to be magic AND silver to get through. if its 5/good and cold iron, it has to be good and cold iron to get through. theres no more 10/+1, 10/+2, etc.

    Help me help my player build his fighter.

    I would say go with some Swashbuckler levels....built for tumble, etc. ;)

    I have finally arrived (as DM)

    So far, I havent yet gotten to that point. I told the players I would take it easy on them until they reach 7th level or so.....they are at 5th right now. hehe.....

    Unwritten Rules

    I will expand on this. Do not lead the DM into temptation. He can find it anyway. I have a red shirt with the "Do not lead me into temptation. I can find it myself" on it with a evil looking smiley on it. I wear it to about 1/3 of my D&D games when I DM....the only 2 are either my pirate...

    Which 3rd Level Feat?

    Weapon finesse would be a very useful one. Especially if you can get 2 gloves of storing....keep a bow in one and a rapier in the other. its a free action to store or retrieve an item....so if you get caught in melee, simply store the bow and draw the rapier as 2 free actions.

    Complete Arcane - Whirling Blade

    Yes....but give your fighter a ring of spell storing...cast the spell in it.....he throws his greatsword while using the ring....;)

    Which 3rd Level Feat?

    Do your enemies tend to use cover? Sharp-shooting from Complete Warrior removes some of their AC bonus due to cover. Or try Coordinated Shot from Heroes of Battle. Or Ready shot from the same book. If you have 5 ranks in hide, Able Sniper from Races of the Wild might be a good idea...or...

    Help me name my Kobold Sorcereress!

    Have the few on patrol come back, find the bodies. Have the wisest among them dedicate themselves to Kurtulamak(kobold god) in order to seek revenge on the killers. Then have them go from kobold community to kobold community, charging other kobolds with a divine order to exterminate the...

    Quick and simple Cleric question [warning: n00b content]...

    No problem. :) Its a very useful and not often noticed rule....especially if your DM is strict about when you pray. ;)

    Help me name my Kobold Sorcereress!

    No. An elven name rolls of the tongue....not having all those stops(the ' marks). This sounds like a dwarf trying to pronounce an elvish name. Or an orc doing the same.

    Character Concept/Creation

    Druid as a paladin of nature? HAH. Remember....NE druids are out there.

    Quick and simple Cleric question [warning: n00b content]...

    A cleric that misses his usual time can prepare spells at the first available opportunity (so a cleric thats running for his life or fighting when he would normally prepare spells must immediately start praying as soon as he has the free time). So your not automatically screwed if you cant...

    acquiring the evil subtype

    I would rule that half fiends or fiendish creatures would get the evil subtype....anyone taking a vile feat I would give that too....

    A bored DM is a dangerous DM...

    No no no no no.....its when the players start talking amongst themselves and let the DM get bored IN THE MIDDLE OF A GAME that things get dangerous. ;) Trust me. My players have done that to me...start talking about something im not interested in and so i call out for a spot check....
