    Need Help with new PC

    For a single melee-focussed character playing alongside a Rogue? Cleric/Crusader/Ruby Knight Vindicator, definitely. You're a tank. You can heal your own damage and that of your allies just by beating the crap out of people. You can lock them down in melee so the Rogue can get his stabby...

    Chaining Attacks Question

    I believe there are a few ways to exploit use Stormguard Warrior, but off the top of my head I can only think of obvious stuff: 1) Use Two-Weapon Fighting 2) Invoke the Dancing Mongoose (1 extra attack per weapons) or Raging Mongoose (2 extra attacks per weapon) maneuver. Be hasted too if...

    Back to Basics D&D campaign

    OK, but by extension that would imply there's nobody very powerful in the city, which in turn means that the PC's will rapidly become nigh-unstoppable in their home town. Personally, I'm seeing some sort of grand conspiracy: there actually is a thriving civilisation* out there and the Powers...

    Is Shadow Weave Magic Useful?

    The only thing I'd add to that is Earth Sense and Earth Spell: whenever you heighten a spell while standing on earth or stone, Earth Spell gives you a free +1 boost to the effective level. In the case of DMM: Heighten Spell, this essentially cancels out the extra turning attempt you have to...

    D&D 3.x (3.5) aw screw it, I'm playing a Ninja

    OK... Well, assuming I can't talk you into the teensiest dip to Swordsage (free Weapon Focus with a whole load of weapons and massively improved flexibility for all sorts of reasons, not to mention the synergy with all the Tiger Claw strikes that rely on Jump checks... I had to try!) then I'll...

    Is Shadow Weave Magic Useful?

    Well first off, Shadow Weave Magic will lose you two points of Wisdom until you've jumped through a bunch of hoops to get them back. That doesn't seem like an ideal situation for a Cleric to be in, but I guess if your DM is prepared to hand-wave that away, fair enough. How many...

    Class levels and CR.

    What you need is... THAT DAMN CRAB! A mated pair thereof. Having a giant pool of salt water in the arena would just be gravy ;) It's CR 3. It has 66hp - more than twice as many as the Ankheg - and AC 19. It has 40' land movement rate and 30' swim speed. It has reach. The common...

    [Q] Rainbow Servant PrC with spontaneous caster

    And... The Cleric Casting feature grants access to the spells. A Warmage knows all the spells for any level he has access to: his spell list is the same as his "spells known" list. If he has access to the spell, he knows it. If he knows it, he can cast it. Still, if your DM doesn't want it...

    Dread Witch PrC and Immunity to Fear

    Interesting question... I'm inclined to agree with krupintupple. "Immunity to fear" isn't usually a special quality in the monster-entry sense (although it can be); it's more commonly derived from spells, creature type and class features. As the OP pointed out, immunity to fear in monsters is...

    D&D 3.x [3.5] How does this Warlock build look?

    Not a bit of it... The argument in favour of extending Hellfire Warlock with Legacy Champion is predicated on the fact that the 2d6 hellfire damage and progression of your original invoking class are clearly stated as being per class level. So even though HW has no class features beyond third...

    D&D 3.x [3.5] How does this Warlock build look?

    It'd be easier to tell you whether there are any kinks to be straightened out if you told us what you wanted the build to achieve. I mean, it's legal and it does "stuff" - which is what I take from "holds together" - but without a bit more specificity as to goals, it's a little hard to praise...

    Enchanted Arrows

    Strictly speaking, I don't believe that spell storing can be conferred on ammunition; or at least, that the benefit of doing so is iffy at best. According to the text of the ability, the wielder of the weapon gets to cast the spell stored as a free action at the time the weapon strikes. Of...

    Help with a build?

    What Dandu said. Also... I wouldn't spend too many resources on the Reflex save specifically: of the three, it tends to be the one where failure results in hit-point damage rather than extended status effects, and you've got plenty of hit points. Plus, it's rather easy to acquire resistances...

    Barbarian/FB help

    Now THAT's funny... Your real name isn't Alannis Morissette, is it? :lol: I'm sorry, I shouldn't laugh, but you want to play a Frenzied Berserker, and moreover, you want know how to play one that doesn't suffer any ill-effects from Frenzy, and you're rejecting Iron Heart Surge and Righteous...

    3d6 instead of d20

    I agree, although I think perhaps it's a case of the example being a poor one, rather than the point itself. Speaking only for myself and those I was in school with in the dim and distant past, I learned times-tables by rote and could probably shout out the answer to any multiplication problem...

    Accidental double-post. Sorry about that.

    Help me tweak my first character (Human Fighter level 9)

    Strictly speaking - "You can use Power Attack with a shortsword, but it has no effect other than to make you less likely to hit things". If you read the feat you quoted: A shortsword is a light weapon. You can't add the bonus from Power Attack to the damage dealt with a light weapon...

    Help me find a PrC: Knights of Watch and Dispatch

    Eh, what's this "we" business? :p The Knights of Dispatch are, from a 3.x perspective, mechanically the same as Knights of the Watch on the grounds that neither have been officially converted and the Dispatchers are an offshoot of the Watchers. The fluff text you need is all in pages 47-50 of...

    Help me find a PrC: Knights of Watch and Dispatch

    Knight of the Watch was a 2nd-edition "kit" from the Players' Guide to Greyhawk. You can find a 3.0 conversion HERE. My Google-fu is strong :)
