But here we have evidence of a halfling becoming a barbarian.

You could also have your mount jump over the opponent. :)

RPGIndex has a site registry of the various player finder sites around the web. I have had good success with AccessDenied.net, but that was back in the Seattle region. Check these sites out, then add yourself to the relevant ones. I also recommend to any DM evaluating how they are running their...

From Races of the Wild, pg. 165 Exotic two-handed melee weapon Lynxpaw, 1d6/1d4, 18-20/x2 // 20/x3, piercing/slashing I think this fits the bill. Races of the Wild: for all your finessing needs.

My (house rule) solution... There is no good reason why a person couldn’t copy a spell from a nonmagical D&D spell book and have it cost so much time and money to do so. Although this house rule retains the costs of creating copies of spells, it grants you the benefit of being able to use it as...

I think that Skill Focus(concentration) is an excellent 1st level feat. It helps get that Concentration skill to a semifuntional level at 1st level.

Complete Adventurer lists several more tricks, plus a feat an animal can take to learn three more tricks. It's in the Skills > Handle Animal section.

As someone who has played a fighter/sorcerer/spellsword, I found that if I had time for my character to buff up, she could be more powerful than a single-class fighter of the same level.

Find a way to get spectral hand, whether as a spell or as a custom magic item.

And pick up a luck blade or two to re-roll that save. And hire a fatespinner to manipulate that check for you. Protection from Spells grants a +8 resistance bonus to spells and spell-like abilitites. And it's core. If Limited Wish can have a creature automatically hit on it's next attack, then...

Bump?

I'm creating a mini-adventure for a player who is playing a female aristocratic fighter, wielder of the fullblade, so that she can pick up a level of Barbarian and have it be somewhat logical while also being cool. I have the framework for the adventure; I just need some help fleshing out the...

I always recommend reading the first chapter of the Dungeon Masters Guide II if you are looking for ways to improve your DMing ability.

The orb spells are Evocations with Spell Resistance: yes. Summon Monster spells are good spells to use that bypass SR. Use these Conjurations instead if that's what you want to do.

Back in 2nd ed, we kept track of components when we went into the underdark and away from easy component access. But this lasted for only a few sessions and we eventually forgot about it. I'm all for deemphasizing spell components. It's good for "disarming" a spellcaster by taking his pouch...

Animal messenger can be cast by a 3rd level NPC druid for 60 gp, or a 4th level NPC ranger for 20 gp. The range would be as far as the animal can go in three days for the druid, or two days for the ranger. NPCs with good Handle Animal skill can train carrier pidgeons to ferry messages between...
