    Please help me, PHB / DMG only !

    Note that if you play an elf, you are automatically proficient with both longsword and rapier. So you could play a straight monk and still be able to properly wield a longsword. OTOH I don't know if an elf would fit the image of a chinese swordsman for you. Depends on your campaign world, I guess.

    Shackled City Adventure Path Questions (New Question)

    See the Prison Mail (reader's letters) section of Dungeon 109 (page 10) for an "official" suggestion of where to place Cauldron in Greyhawk.

    New Adventure Path

    I'm buying Dragon now regulary for more than two years but have so far resisted buying Dungeons too, simply because I knew that if I would buy one or two I surely would become a regular customer, and I feared the costs. But when I first heard that there would be a new Adventure Path I gave in...

    Hardcore Dragonhunt

    The environment sort of determines the colour of the dragon (for example no white dragon in a jungle and so on).

    reptilian humanoid villain race suggestion

    There is a reptilian template in Savage Species, although I notice that this book is not on your list. Choose a base race that would suit your needs, add the template and you are ready.

    About to start Darksun - What have been your experiences with it?

    There is no such book (nor will there be). You might have seen an ad for the conversion in Dungeon 110 and Dragon 319.

    Water Druids

    Don't know if this helps even the least, but Dragon 314 has a PrC that you could take a look at. It is called Darkwater Knight, but works actually well for Druids. The only problem is that it is designed with lakes or oceans of the Underdark in mind, not normal waters. But probably you still can...

    Half-Ogre player character

    Basically yes. IIRC if you applied the the template to a human, to create a half-human/half-ogre, he would have get a +12 to Str. I'd call that broken on any day. The template itself gave a +4 to Str, but it explicitly said that you have to add the Str increase from your size increase (Large...

    Monotheological game world in 3.5

    I have plans to introduce a monotheistic religion into my new gameworld. I allways thougth that haveing a monotheistic religion would make it easier to me to build a believable world. (More similar to RL medieval times.) Other religions (and gods) would exist, but the main religion would be this...

    Several Dwarf Related Questions

    1. I'd guess 30 ft. 2. Example: (just some random numbers) a) Dwarven Defender has 20 hps, and he doesn't enter dfensivve stance. He gets hit by some monster, takes 25 hp damage, drops to -5, hopefully he manages to stabilize. b) Dwarven Defender has 20 hps, he goes into defensive stance...

    Sourcebooks/references for dream settings?

    The Shaman's Handbook by Green Ronin has a small section on the Dream World, a Dreaming skill and a Dreamer PrC. But it's in no way the focus of the book.

    does counterspelling incur arcane spell failure?

    I don't know what the rules say (or if they say anything concrete) but logic clearly dictates that spell failure from armor and so should apply. After all you're casting a spell, only "slightly modified". I think this is the term used in the PHB, but I'm too lazy to stand up and check the book.

    Eberron = power creep or just pushing the envelope?

    The -2 Wis, -2 Cha wouldn't help a lot either. But in general terms I think that the warforged get only a half result from any healing spells helps a lot to balance this race.

    Which DnD culture is the most likely to do this?

    They had this scenario in Baldur's Gate II where the "establishment" was run by illithids.

    INT-Increase and Skillpoints

    Neither an Int increase or an Int decrease would affect your skill ranks in anyway. Note that you don't have skill points, you have skill ranks. The only time you have skill points is when you are leveling up, and you have to exchange them into skill ranks immediatly. A change in Con would...

    [CD] Vigor Spells

    You can't cast these spontaniously. But they would be really good to put into a wand for using it after battle.

    Rogue Archer Build Tweaking

    1. You can't flank anyone when using a ranged weapon, since ranged weapons (like a bow) don't threaten anyone. You can't take AoOs with ranged weapons for the same reason. 2. To be able to sneak attack someone due to flanking, you must do the flanking yourself. It is not enough that two of your...
