Nifft, In two years of AE, I have yet to see a PC Greenbond who didn't multiclass, so if you want to go straight through for 20-25 levels, more power to you. I've just noted that the grab for armor and weapon proficiencies (and even skills or combat rites) has been very tempting for my local...

I've pretty much played nothing but Arcana Unearthed/Evolved since about 2003, so this is my kinda topic :-). My suggestions: 1.) Multiclassing is tempting, but you really have to consider what you might be giving up at higher levels. For instance, one of the Champion of Knowledge's coolest...

The Mage Blade. Obviously, the classes not on the list above are the real winners because they're not involved in yet another crazy "who would win?" fight. Robert "The pointy end goes...ah nevermind." Ranting

"In this world, massive cities line the coasts of an inland sea, the last refuge of the world's living things in the wake of a cataclysm that has gripped the extreme latitudes in an Ice Age, and parched the rest of the land into a vast desert." The above would pretty adequately sum up my...

Personally, I think that WotC has far too much content to just flatly allow all of it. More to the point, I don't feel that D&D's magic system is internally consistant or balanced vs. melee and ranged combat, even in Core-only games, so I feel completely lost trying to evaluate Psionics, the...

I tend to joke around and do silly voices and impressions all the time, but especially when I'm gaming. As a player, I've been complemented on my ability to keep up an accent while remaining conversational (and vocal) throughout sessions. As a DM, my abilities get stretched a little thin...

...Just file off the Serial Numbers... Well, since someone else mentioned AE... I have to admit that I'm guilty of "stealing" a lot for my setting and games. My most recent "theft" was during an encounter with Russet Mold and Vegepygmies. The PCs were in this underground complex, and kept...

Sad to Say... Currently, and perhaps unfortunately, my campaign setting "borrows" it's Dragons as well as several other elements, from Warcraft. Honestly, I know that it would be better for me to come up with my own idea of how Dragons work, but I'm quite enamored with the Five Aspect...

Shortly after Complete Adventurer came out and finished the 4 "basic" complete books, I had suggested something along this line. A three-hour discussion with another gamer yielded a setting built around the idea that the core 3.5 classes did not exist, and only those in the first 4 Complete...

Currently only seven, although I have access to most of them through my players, friends, and acquaintances: 3.0 Player's Handbook 3.0 Dungeon Master's Guide 3.5 Monster Manual (a gift from my players, and thus why it doesn't match) Monster Manual II Sandstorm (gift) Complete Adventurer...

"But just out of curiosity, how many people on this board can say that they have had a memorable encounter with a Dragon? Specifically, that was memorable for more than just having been an encounter with a Dragon?" In my current campaign, there is a Woodwrack Dragon (Creature Collection...

Dragons: Red- encountered twice as a player. Blue-as a DM, BBEG in a short campaign. Green- encountered three times, (4 if you count the templated monstrosity in Shackled City) as a player. Black- encountered as a player. As a DM, had them in the background, and many Half-Dragon...

Achaierai- As a DM, I had one in an Exotic Animal Dealer's shop. It was let loose and used against an invading army to great affect (confusion and gunpowder weapons do not agree with each other). IMC, they have the Native Subtype, but most people consider them simply a strange magical beast...

My experience: Arrowhawk- fought several in a canyon. Belker- Ran one in a pre-gen WotC adventure by Monte Cook. Disappointing. Chuul- One of the more oft-recurring creatures in our gaming groups, oddly enough. Howler- Fought one in a certain Adventure Path. Krenshar- Fought one in...

Of all the complete books, Adventurer is certainly my favorite, and should I ever go back to running D&D, would probably see the most use. In my current Arcana Evolved game, however, I've found use for quite a bit of the content. Scout- I've always disliked the execution of the Ranger class...

Since my Homebrew has no active deities, or clerics, and uses AE's spellcasting system, where there's no Arcane/Divine distinction, I initially passed on this book, however, I have found that in some cases certain PrCs work for NPCs in my campaign setting. Black Flame Zealot- excellent Villain...

Truth be told, I don't get much use out of Complete Arcane, since my Homebrew uses Arcana Evolved's magic system, and the Variant Bard out of The Complete Book of Eldritch Might. However, there are a few Prestige Classes that seemed to fit my campaign's flavor. Blood Magus- I've always...

There were at one point several fansites hosting additional material, including variant races and new PRCs, pre-statted NPCs, and other Lore-and-Crunch, but I've long since lost track of them . I'd suggest going to the WarCraft Forums on White Wolf's website, and asking for links and resources...

Let me just say that I have not, nor do I ever really think I will, play a Halfling character. Let me also say that I played a Gnome Druid in 3.0 and he was one of my favorite characters I've ever played. However, if it comes down to one or the other, it has to be the Halflings. Why? As it's...

"If you add his CON-boosting item after he shifts forms, then it'll drop off the moment he returns to his natural form, and he'll lose the bonus." Ick. That would certainly put a crimp in things. I'll look into the cost of the wand (AE has prices for charged items usable by non-casters without...
