I was at Encounters, and I've seen the cards. (In fact, themes add a single power to each class that's being, err, "themed"--Veiled Alliance gets Excise from Sight, for ex.) I'm talking about the NPCs, monsters, trees, rocks, the Flintstones-like talking pterodactyl alarm clock--in the AD&D...

I'd like to see the old-school "everyone has a little psi talent, even if it's just one small, subtle psi advantage" schtick from the (pre-4th ed) products played up in the new incarnation.

I'll likely go with human, partially to get the benefits of multiclassing and extra feat(s) but also because in my DM's (homebrew) world the other races are considerably less prevalent. I'm strongly leaning toward taking the Factotum (Dungeonscape) or the Investigator (Atlas' Crime &...

I haven't ruled out Eberron yet! (Again, it's up to DM approval.) And I do own the Eberron Inquisitives series. ;)

We'll see! It's 'official WotC' so he shouldn't have a problem with it. I hope. But I agree, a jack-of-all-trades (that isn't a bard) would be useful, especially in our party.

Thanael, The Watch Detective seems to be 100% 3.5 compatible. I have the Ravenloft book(s) you reference, so I'll check those out post haste. (I thought I remembered there being a detective in RL!) Thanks.

* blinks several times, then bows to the Master * Touché!

True, although he often gave it to Watson (who was, according to Holmes, a better shot due to his military service).

If you're talking about cannon, A. C. Doyle Holmes, you're incorrect--Sherlock never had a sword cane. But....I get your point. (See how I did that? Sword cane? Point?)

I do actually want to play a 'consulting detective' character. I may not go whole-hog specifically on the Sherlock Holmes character, but you guys are giving me some pretty good ideas on how I might create his analogue. Really, I'm looking for classes (core classes or PrCs) that would best suit...

* facepalm * As promised. :D

Err, what is this book? I'll do a facepalm once you say it. :D Nice.

As the title suggests, I'd like to see how YOU would create Holmes using 3.5 rules. My DM's pretty open with books, so any WotC splat book is fair game. Other source books may be used with DM's approval. This will be a 10th level character. My DM's setting is significantly low-magic, so...

Was Ivory Triangle good at all? Looking over the old adventures I have tucked away, those were some really great Brom covers... :D

A little thread necro, since I might be playing one soon. It's been a LONG time since I played 3.5, and I was never all that clear to begin with: could I take the feat Improved Unarmed Strike and successfully avoid attacks of opportunity using the Dread Necromancer's above ability?

Just for fun I made this BAMFtastic hybrid, since I have a DDI subscription: ====== Created Using Wizards of the Coast D&D Character Builder ====== Nightcrawler, level 9 Eladrin, Warlock|Avenger Eldritch Pact (Hybrid): Fey Pact (Hybrid) Hybrid Warlock: Hybrid Warlock Reflex Hybrid Avenger...

Well, I'm not sure how much monologuing the giants actually do in Revenge of the Giants, but as for the rest...I trust WotC has some evil badness up it's sleeve in that adventure--villains and incredible vistas galore. It is a "mega" Paragon tier adventure, after all... Some of the "random...

Of any kind?

Considering that Revenge of the Giants, from my initial read, doesn't have that many minions, I'm not going to sweat it. Maybe throw a few in on occasion to give it that superhero-y feel. Seems like many of these posts are focusing on my minion comment, even down to angrily accusing me of...

At the risk of sounding like a jerk, your comment smacks of threadcrapping. I'm intentionally attempting to turn up my game to "11"...thus requests to amp up the superhoero-ishness. If you don't want to turn it up to 11 you don't have to........but don't ruin my fun.
