    Cleric Advice

    I on the other hand would boost my strenght for the feats you have sited, then try and get a hold of magic items that boost your wisdom and charism. The items will have the same effect while insuring that you will be able to get the feats. Of course if this is a low magic campaint this advice...

    Do you let your players...?

    In my games it depends on the experence of the player being adviced. If they have not played a wizard or socrcer before then general advice on how to use their magic is fine. If the player is expenced playing that class like the one playes bards alot then it is not allowed out of character...

    And finally, magic

    Besides you need another choice: It does not matter as long as it is balanced and easy to use for both the player and the GM. By balance I mean non spell are not over shadowed during normal play by the average group.

    Where does making an effective character end and munchkinism begin?

    Here is my definition of Munchkinism: A: When the character is disruptive to the party by being so powerful that they overshadow the rest of the party and refuse to tone down or try do work with the party or when they are so weak that they might as well not be there and refuse to improve or...

    Giving Clothes a Magical Armour Bonus...Is it wrong?

    Right, I did miss that part for some reason. The way I have seen it handled is simple. You get the special abilites form only the item with the highest enhancement; the vestment/shirt/ect are treated as wondours items like bracers of armor; or the clothes are assumed to take up the armor slot...

    Giving Clothes a Magical Armour Bonus...Is it wrong?

    Long ago in one of the treads on Eric's old board this came up. One of the designers said something along these lines: that armor bonus on clothes does not stack with and with the bonus on armor because they are the same bonus. Remember an enhacement to bonus improves the armor bonus. This...

    Question on Half-Dragon/Half-Drow

    I don't have my Dragonstar books here but that combo is worked out in the Starfarers Handbook. It is also a ELC+5 race for characters so you will need to adjust its CR a bit. I would recomend +2 CR over any class levels you give it. If you wish I or some else can post the OGL portion of...

    Down with magic items!

    I will add one comment about the below list. It depends a lot on the DM/GM. I have played in a modern campaign where equipment did define the characters. Example was the sniper. He had a custom made sniper rifle that gave him a large advantage over most other snipers. On the other hand I...

    Whats your favorite/most played race(s)?

    One day I am going to have to find a DM so I can play a Half-Orc Wizard or Psyic Warrior. The roleplaying challages just seems so tempting. (Our current alternate DM is just not able to do a good story based campain). My normal prefernce has all ways been human with an ocasional other race.

    [semi-Rant] As a DM, does item creation ever get you down?

    In most of the groups I have been in. Magic is always been boring. Yea, another of the DM's favorite item, are another +2 sword. It does not matter how much magic there is. Magic items and the like do not bring excitement to the game. The fun is in the roleplaying and the freedom to make...

    What's the best size of a gaming group?

    While I like a group of around 6 to 8, the factors that affects the size of group I like to run are how combat oreinted v.s. in character and the number of active v.s. passivie plays that are in the group. More the four players that are heavy into rollplaying encounter is a large group but you...

    To buy PHB now, or not to buy?

    You might also point out the SRD for his use. This would by pass any problems with loaning and still give him the basics he needs to put together a character.

    Magic items EVERY character NEEDS

    The list depends on the campain and playing style. I could well see a campain where +x to bluf is more important than a equaly expense + to armor or saves.
