A few friends and I ran through a chunk of Forge of Fury when we were bored and nobody had the time to put together an actual campaign. Didn't finish, though.

Honestly, Shifters are something I like, but it took me quite a while to... must resist the urge to say 'shift'... change my viewpoint to that. For a while, I really liked Changelings, liked Warforged, and had problems with Kalashtar and Shifters. Still dislike the Kalashtar, but Shifters have...

I wasn't a fan of it when Dragon was a print magazine - it meant that there was less space for an actual article, which is what I was buying the magazine for. However, in a digital format, where adding fiction shouldn't reduce the number of articles, I'm fine with it.

I've yet to play a caster at a high enough level to use Quicken spell, but I've gotten good use out of Extend and Empower (both as a player and as a DM). One thing I have noticed is that I'm reluctant to use metamagic if I'm making a wizard or cleric, but won't leave home without it if I've...

Concentration is certainly good - he should feel free to bump it til he can make the DC 15 + his highest available spell level check in his sleep, so he never has to worry about casting defensively. Knowledge (arcana) and Knowledge (the planes) are also useful, since they can uncover useful...

The main thing I love is that the PCs are going to be the heroes in Eberron. There are very, very few high level/epic level NPCs running around, which makes it very believable that the PCs can end up with important tasks, even if they're low level. Combine that with the feel of the setting...

Well, I'm currently running an Eberron game. When that ends, the current idea is to run some classic modules - not sure what yet, but among the ideas that have been mentioned are Temple of Elemental Evil, Against the Giants, Expedition to Barrier Peaks, and White Plume Mountain. So, at least...

Hey now, it isn't nice to say that the bard's music is offensive. Bards have feelings, too... and if you hurt them, they may end up singing about them. ;)

Unseen Seer (Complete Mage) might be of use to you. You snag Silent Spell for free, its a full casting class, rogue's BAB, and an increase to sneak attack damage. More than two levels means everything other than divinations takes a hit, but this can be worked around with the Practiced...

Eh, I'll cut him some slack on that. I've known folks who didn't start til 3.5 to call Cure spells Heal spells on occasion. The line, "I know, that's redundant" regarding his Lawful Good Paladin is hilarious, but only if you play. That's the type of thing that only a gamer could add in.

Just a quick point on this... if the Wizard Enlarges you, you take a -2 penalty to Dex, and no longer meet the prerequisite for Dodge, which means you no longer meet the prerequisite for mobility, spring attack, or whirlwind attack. Better get some Gloves of Dexterity or have the wizard hit you...

One option (though, admittedly, it isn't a great fix, especially at higher levels) is the Dread Necromancer from Heroes of Horror, who can control 4 + Charisma Modifier HD of undead per level with Animate Dead. Its a few more, but if 20 zombies isn't a challenge, neither is 30. The easier...

I'm curious as to how folks see Warlock (Must be Chaotic or Evil) or Bard (Must be non-lawful) working with Paladin (Must be Lawful Good). Sudden change of heart after you get all the levels of Bard of Warlock that you wanted? And Quartz - I don't see a major benefit in the third level of...

Well, there are a few basic keys to keep in mind. Paladin - you probably want either level 2 or level 4, depending on whether or not you have access to Divine feats. Beyond that, sorta pointless. Rogue - The skill points are handy, but it doesn't add much to casting or swinging a sword. I'd...

You want him to work his muscles by not using his muscles to find out why the king can't use his muscles?

Well, for the DC... an average dwarf is at +3 to his fortitude save against poisons, compared to a similar human. And if you consider that dwarves are more inclined towards the martial classes than other folks (and the Good Fortitude saves those bring)... a first level dwarf warrior is going to...

Well, my average is quite low, given the number of campaigns that have flamed out after one or two sessions (or never even got off the ground - had everything planned out, had characters, and for some reason never got started). But my latest one is reversing that trend, as we're up around the...

1) Eberron Campaign Setting. From the moment I got this, it has been my favorite and default setting. I love it. 2) Magic Item Compendium. So very, very, very, very useful. No longer is treasure limited to a Ring of Protection +X and a Cloak of Resistance +Y. A variety of items for any...

So far, my campaign has gone fantastic. We're playing more or less bi-weekly (some weeks we've had to miss, other times we've played two or three weeks in a row), and we've played for something like six months now. Normally, my campaigns end up fizzling out after *maybe* a month and a half, so...

Personally, I'd say that abandoning Elan, examined in a vacuum, would be enough to shift Roy to Lawful Neutral, with his actions after that (saving everyone from the bandits, using the Belt, taking arrows for Elan) being more than enough to redeem him - I'd say he was probably redeemed after...
