If my players ever get off my finely crafted rails and start exhibiting free will... that's it, I'll quit! Honestly, as long as I have friends who can meet at a certain time and want to play, I'll probably be willing to DM something. I may get burnt out on a particular campaign, or a...

My leatherbound PHB has errata. However, it came out before they changed around wildshape and polymorph, so that stuff isn't changed.

Rogue with ranks in Use Magic Device and a wand? Probably the simplest way. Other options might include: -Cleric with the right domains and some rogue multiclassing -Bard -Artificer (Eberron) - trapfinding and the ability to make items that cure folks -On a limited scale (as in, a couple...

The DM can say that at any point. It isn't always the best idea - for instance, once a character is in play, unless its causing a major disruption, its tough to justify removing a character. As a general rule, pick which classes and races are available before the game starts, during character...

I'm fine with it. Player's Handbook 2 had a lot of feats for martial characters, and the entire martial concept got a new angle with Book of Nine Swords. About the only thing I can imagine showing up in a new martial-characters book would have been per encounter or per day abilities that felt...

I do both. I play face to face at school, but I have friends who have friends who have already graduated and are spread out across the country. So we play with Fantasy Grounds and Skype. It may not be exactly the same as a face to face session, but I certainly disagree with the folks who say...

This would only help with your Duskblade spells, though. How about a Duskblade 3/Wizard 4/Abjurant Champion 5/Spellsword 1/Unseen Seer 2/Spellwarp Sniper 5? It'd require Partial BAB increases and your DM allowing the Unseen Seer's 'Damage Bonus' to grant you sneak attack, so check first...

Define "Bizarre". Do you want something that is a bad choice for a wizard because of its abilities (Orc, with the penalty to Intelligence)? Something that could work as a wizard, but usually isn't portrayed as one (Kobold, since their arcanists are normally Sorcerers)? Or just something that...

You could, but its going to be awfully tough to catch someone flatfooted when you're trying to sneak up on them with two Death Stars.

While I generally agree that Stoneskin is a bit too expensive for what it does, especially for a Sorcerer (where giving up a spell known is an expense), I'd have to wonder about this. Unless the Sorcerer only casts Stoneskin on himself, it'd seem rather stupid to make him pay for every casting...

We tried it for a semester when I was the only one not at college. It generally went poorly. We had a webcam set up that, in theory, gave me a view of the table. In reality, I constantly had to ask, "Now, what is that green blob? And I'm where? How much distance is between me and the orc?"...

A priest is someone who people are willing to listen to in matters of religion. Often, he is a member of the clergy of whatever religion he happens to be preaching, though not always. What makes a priest is that folks listen to him when he talks about heaven, hell, gods, and the great beyond...

Not really, since I didn't start playing until my last year of high school, though my mom certainly planted the seeds. She's always enjoyed fantasy books, so I got to grow up reading things like The Lord of the Rings. She's also always played board games, so the idea of sitting around the...

An Artificer gets two big things. 1) They're awesome at creating items. They get all item creation feats as bonus feats. They get a "craft reserve" - a pool of XP they can use for crafting, without hitting their real XP. They can emulate any spell they happen to need for crafting an item...

For Prestige Classes, take a look at (and check with your DM on) the Unseen Seer in Complete Mage. If he'll let you gain sneak attack from that class without having it previously, it makes a nice addition (by the wording of the class, it only adds to existing sneak attack damage). If you can...

And give him a nice pat on the back while doing so... you don't have a lot of HP, he can share. ;)

So, this arena... is it just a large, enclosed space with no obstacles? Or is there some terrain that folks could make use of? Gnome Warblade 1 Small Humanoid Init +2; Sense Listen +1, Spot -1, Low-Light Vision Languages Common, Gnome, Goblin ------------------------------------------ AC 19...

Only thing I'm really seeing at 1st level in the Spell Compendium is Ice Gauntlet, which is a first level Cleric spell. However, there is an easier solution, although you likely can't use it til level 3, due to skill rank requirements. At first level, pick up the metamagic feat of your choice...

You might consider another level of Rogue, two levels of Beguiler, and then the Unseen Seer (Complete Mage) class. It focuses on Divinations, which would be useful for an investigator, while still giving you lots of skill points for Gather Information, Knowledge, Listen, Search, Sense Motive...

I'm not going to claim all my math is 100% accurate - I'm generalizing a bit, and its 3:00 AM. However.... If you fire once (you can't take a full attack, for some reason), you'll do an additional 3 points on average with your rifle over the repeater. If you take a full attack without getting...
