Mouse- FWIW, I *loved, loved, loved* the format for running Expedition to Castle Ravenloft. The truth of it is that without the new format, I would almost certainly not have run it at all, as the complexity of the castle is so daunting. I agree with bento that "fewer, more interesting...

I laughed when I saw it, because I used it already for my Ravenloft game. I just called it "Holy Assassin" instead of "Avenger". Funny. :D

Ugly versions of raptorans from Races of the Wild?

Non- I have a pregen that we used in Expedition to Castle Ravenloft that is a very similar build. He worked out reasonably well, albeit a little weaker than the other characters, as giving up his caster levels hurt considerably. Instead of Monk5/Warlock5, I would suggest either Nifft's...

This would work very well. EtCR is quite good, by the way; I just finished running it for my group this past weekend and it was suitably dramatic! If you liked the reduced prep time for SGoS, you will similarly enjoy EtCR (and I expect for EttDP as well). Also, without going into plot...

I do not know of one with an actual Dex bonus, but the Whirling Fury variant does give an AC bonus, that might be what you mean. It is from UA, and the SRD here: http://www.d20srd.org/srd/variant/classes/classFeatureVariants.htm#rageVariantWhirlingFrenzy

Thanks, folks! If there is an item from the Magic Item Compendium, that would be great, because I have that book on order. I will also search for Hyp's comment from last week. (BTW, before anybody catches me on the error: the barbarian variant loses rage to get the archer combat style. Oops...

Is there a magic item or masterwork option that offers variable Strength bonus modifiers on a composite bow? I am contemplating the archer variant barbarian from UA, but would hate to give up the extra strength damage bonus while he is Raging. If such an item does not exist, how would one go...

It really is a great idea. Thanks for the link, Yeti, I will check it out.

LOL Thanks, KP! I have been e-mailing with Mark recently and have CMG on the brain. Yep, I meant "CMP".

brehobit- It is #1: unarmed strike +7/+2 plus bite +2 The bite is being used as a secondary attack, so it is at -5 Atk, and only 1/2 Strength applies. (A Worg does not have enough natural attacks to qualify for Multiattack, so I believe there is no way for it to avoid or reduce the -5 Atk...

I do not have a rules citation for you to support it, but that is the way that our group has played Warlocks. OTOH, there are rules restricting multiple eldritch blast enhancment invocations, so check that in Compete Arcane.

I do not have more to add on this discussion, but thought it was worth pulling this out... take one laugh point, Jasin! :D

Fair enough-- I think YMMV quite a bit depending on your particular game group. I think this is a fair point. I would posit that most players who own lots of sourcebooks are more likely to know how to leverage the advantage of flexibility in options offered by having access to them, but I...

KingJay- I agree with you, and both of your solutions make sense. OTOH, brehobit's proposed solutions would likely work fine, and avoid potential logistics issues of sharing/borrowing books, etc. Jasin seemed to be saying that the best (only?) options were either "core-only" or non-core, when...

This is a fantastic idea. I sincerely doubt that it will happen, as WOTC would likely see the third-party tools as challenging its own new electronic initiative, but I would like to see it happen. What is great about the concept is that WOTC still controls the creation process themselves...

I believe that brehobit answered your question implicitly, if not explicitly. He mentioned that several of his players own many or all of the Complete books, etc. and would like to use them, but that others did not and therefore might be effectively penalized by not having (legal) access to the...

LOL That is pretty cool- thanks for the info! I was just using imprecise language, though, really; instead of "superglue" I should have said "modelling epoxy" or something similar. Basically, I just mean that I use the liquid epoxy, hold the mini in place, then zap it with the quick-setting...

Please add me to the list of the three posters above asking where do I buy it? Is there a link anywhere? :D Jürgen, you did an awesome job selling me on the product, but now *I must have it*! :D
