I'm a fighter at heart first off... But I'm arguing both with Eld-Bas and Rid Cohort's both first posts... Both display good aruments.... Zane's conclusion: It's all about the quest and party size. If you have a large group, you can take the fighter and not be worried with the lack of...

Agree with the saves boost and all.. but another thing that I don't think anyone has mentioned... Traps... Hopefully you've got a rogue with a keen eye for traps that could be avoided with a good disable device and the risk of rolling a save not needed... As an exDM one of my favorite things...

Hmm, always a toughy in my opinion. I've never played a throwing char, nor have a played an archery ranger. I've always liked the whole ranger with a bane (anything) oober bow of doom, but a ninja w/ a pouch full of +3 flaming vorpal shurikens it just way too sexy... Would a rogue/ninja get...

Yeah, I have to go with the "popular" (?) belief of the bolt hits the shield like a barrier, dealing appropriate damage, and if the damange supercedes that of the shield then it's shattered and the remaining damage to the player (or whatever else cover it may/may not have - 2 weap fighting w/...

I was thinking the same thing... If your melee guy gets 3 attacks per round, and he knocks the crap out of <insert poor battled thing here> with a wounding weapon of doom, does it drain the 3 pts, or just 1 pt per round? Our DM ruled that only 1/round due it was too broken if the paladin...

Thanks.. These replies are pretty much what we figured. DM ruled that even though the NPC was unaware of the invisible wizard, "technically" he was still threatening so SA was awarded (yay me!). The other situation never "came up" per say, just one of those "I wonder..." We pretty much...

Last night 2 situations occurred that hadn't happened before, and could easily happen again. Was just curious to check various points of view as how the ruling would/should be. Situation 1. A creature is being flanked by the rogue (me) and our wizard who is under greater invis spell...

Yes, you can charge as a surprise round action... still takes the regular full round, yaddah, yaddah, yaddah... but possible. Also, if your going through a swamp, you could add a bog or something to add stench to the air, so the ghoul's stench might be disguised or something.

I think I'll just stick to "I before E unless I don't care, because I have autocorrect on things where spelling is important" (spoken by a true computer major :))

Haha. Either or. I kinda liked that pali too.. but pali's are too "goody goody" for me. I'm at least noot, usually chao. Either way, I've been lazy today, should've made my char, i might do that when i get off the phone...

how will i know? when they club the crap outta me of course :P

hmm... good points... I will come up with something. My goal is to sit in the head seat of every town we stay in. Got to be crafty politically, so why not in combat as well. Maybe a wand of invisibility if everything doesn't already have TS, det. inv., etc

That's why you don't tumble into the formation, you tumble beside it... The only quazi decent thing the party has going for it, is that we're pretty good at spliting up the mobs. (Maybe because they're trying to decide who the stupidest PC is and get confused so they each take a different) But...

I don't think getting in/out of flanks will be a hard thing. I think the hardest thing is deciding if I want to go 2 sho swo for imagry, or rapier (wielded 2 handed) and armor spikes (no one in our group has ever had spikes...)

Well, I generally play some form of a tank char... my usual is a TWF fighter with 2 bastard swords and generally rape things pretty decently. I just love the visual of a char that can dance around slicing and dicing with 2 weapons rather than a big hulking massive oak tree wielding brute...

I was also thinking 2 short swords... but then i remembered you can't take the weapon spec tree, so I'm not sure now.

Oh... and I might post a twf rogue for tweaking. Rumor has it I'm destined to die soon (since now everyone in the party has died at least once but me). Actually I've never had a char die, I really don't want to do it, but I'm really liking this twf rogue to consider blowing my streak :P

Hehehe. Yeah, I'm originally from the US/Canada border so I'm pretty accustomed to cold weather (wind chill -75 to -100f, etc).... and I was hoping to time it so there was still plenty of snow since i don't get to see it anymore after moving to southern us. And no. Elvis is sittin on some...

It's really funny you say that... (From Memphis, TN, USA btw) because come like... September or so I have a trip planned for Auckland. Going hiking, scenic touring etc.. weird... hehe.. Anyway, yeah, the wizard is actually the only other thinker of the group. Everyone else is... well...

Hmm, where you from? We could use someone "expereinced". Most of our guys are < 1 year players, 1/2 even < 6 months. (1 even is in 1st "real" quest).... Maybe if I can "find" a little extra cash I can buy some headband or cloak or something of con... or maybe 'con' the wiz into making a +con...
