Yes, FireLance's build is pretty good. And I take it that Clerics are still enough "Wizards in Plate" to make it worthwhile. Although they took Finger of Death away... cheers, Carpe

Bad situation. Don't game with the kids. Tell them why. You can't afford to have your job and your reputation threatened over something like this. Your principal won't back you up -- he as much as told you so. So you have to make the hard, practical decision. Kick all the kids out of the...

Talk me through that last one. You end up with, what, 17 spellcaster levels at the end?

Can anyone do better than: Pal 8 / Cav 2 / Fist of Raz. 10, Feats: Power Attack, Mounted Combat, Servant of the Heavens, Divine Might, Ride-by-Attack, Spirited Charge, Weapon Focus-Lance, Extra Smiting? Riding a Griffin, of course. I'm looking for smack-level high-end builds. I keep...

Hi, Reapersaurus. :D Thanks for the welcome back. best, Carpe

I have always wanted to play a specialist diviner. The problem is that the GameMaster will either hate you or limit you, and neither is fun.

This is outside core, but inside WOTC books. This also requires 18 character levels, but it is the best I've been able to do yet to replicate the Paladin Smack. I'm sure folks will have improvements. :D Can anyone think of a better combination for a Paladin than Pal6 / Fist of Raziel 10 /...

Sorry to be so long in replying. We've been busy with the move to Manhattan. One person who would be great to have (good guy!) is Steve; he's at knoxsl222@yahoo.com (I'm posting on his behalf, he's not registered on the site, but he's right here in the room with me). cheers, Carpe

Oddly, I've ended up in two campaigns that have gone this route. The first was a campaign in which we attempted to play the distant past of a fairly stock D&D world. We started with the Elven Kingdom (as such things tend to be called) intact, and were supposed to preside over the tragic fall...

I am, unfortunately, leaving Columbus soon. However, some friends of mine (solid, decent people, long-time gaming buddies) are staying here and are looking for another group. I'll encourage them to drop you a line. Carpe

Sorry it took me so long to reply to this thread, Legildur. The creator of the Invisible Blade class said to switch out Weapon Finesse and Weapon Focus for the feats that are currently there. It's on a thread somewhere on these boards, but I'll be darned if I can find it right now. best, Carpe

I'd take rogue 5 / Invisible Blade 4, with the idea that with one more level of invisible blade you'll be set. Remember that the feats for IB are wrong in the book because theyswitched out the ranged feats. The creator of the class has said to switch in Weapon Finesse and Weapon Focus: Dagger...

Where does the point buy appear in 3.5? best, Carpe

This is a hard one to answer, and one that my group went over a lot in the past few years. The answer is complicated. The shield descriptor indicates that a medium shield may be used to make an "offhand" attack only (although part of this depends on how you read this language -- does that mean...

Ahh, but Thanee, I regularly ask the impossible. :) Actually, cleric is looking better and better. If I could find a god with elf / war that had the dagger as a specific weapon. That would take the cake: 1. Elf (free PBshot) 2. War (free weapfocus dagger) 3. Turning, which I could use to fuel...

Folks: Is there any way to build a rogue / invisible blade combination with a metahuman without going to 6th level rogue? It feels one feat short. You need weapon focus dagger, far shot, and point blank shot for the PrC. You also need 3d6 sneak attack damage. A human can do this, obviously...

This is a hard one to answer. I have the same problem (30 years old, two small children, married). The dnd.meetups (the site is occasionally posted in the Gamers Seeking Gamers forum here) is one place to do it. I think the best answer is to simply try a number of groups. A player in one...

*bump* Two months until we get to Manhattan (well, month and a half). I'm working on some fun stuff. My ongoing gameworld is getting a facelift (I'm learning to use mapping programs finally, natch), and the newest campaign setting in that world is getting some playtesting. The latest...

There are several issues here, and one difficulty is that they are not being separated. 1. Rules-lawyering and DM Credibility. The first issue is the role of rules. Rules exist to serve serveral functions, but one function that Dragonlancer may be overlooking is that they serve as arbiters of...

Sounds good, and certainly will do. :) We'll be moving in July, and I'll be in NYC full time as of August 1. If anyone wants to email me about potential hooks, etc., I'd be happy to think about how a character might fit into a setting ahead of time. best, Carpe
