Would you take this epic destiny if you were an epic-level dragonborn character? Is it too good, or just plain sucky? Epic Destiny: Dragon Lord Prerequisite: 21st level, dragonborn. You are a true scion of Io. In your veins flows the blood of true dragons, in an unbroken line from the first...

Man, this was one of the first things I thought of, too. Or maybe 14 dolgrims and one three-headed, six armed, elite dolgrim :) Or maybe the different parts of the dead goblins detach and combine. So 31 livers = goblin liver monster, 62 goblin eyes = many-eyed abomination, 62 kidneys = ...

Each class still has the class features that actually define their role. For martial classes, the fighter still has Combat Challenge and Combat Superiority, the rogue still has Sneak Attack, the ranger still has Hunter's Quarry, and the warlord still has Inspiring Word. Basically, unless you...

The Centurion is a Level 26 Elite Soldier, and the Imperator is a Level 29 Elite Controller (Leader). Basically, one aspect represents Bane the warrior, the other as Bane the general / tyrant. The Centurion wields a black spear and black gladius, and focuses on forced movement and opportunity...

I think in Eberron, there are plenty of regions that suit epic play: * The Demon Wastes: any fiends you want, especially rakshasas * Khyber: Daelkyr, with their mind flayer, beholder, and other aberrant minions, plus every other nasty thing you can think of in the Underdark * Xen'drik: Titans...

There is another thread here specifically about monk changes. I like the application of the ki focus to the monk -- it just makes sense, even more so than for the assassin. Though I think losing weapon attacks (and the +3 proficiency bonus of the unarmed strike) hurts the monk against brutes...

Some key spells w/o somatic components: Level 1: True Strike Level 3: Displacement Level 4: Dimension Door Level 5: Teleport Level 7: Power Word Blind Level 8: Power Word Stun Level 9: Power Word Kill I think there are searchable lists somewhere online to sort spells by components (or lack...

Some deadly serious aspects appeared in the Deities and Demigod articles about Bane, so you could take one of those and tone it down. One was called the Centurion and the other, the Imperator. They are high 20's, though, so you could pick one or the other (or maybe a mash up of both) and...

I think Psychic Lock is very good for dark pact and fey pact warlocks, illusionist wizards, and telepathic psions. Solid Sound is great for any characters focusing on force/thunder attacks -- storm sorcerers, wizards, swordmages, stormheart wardens, and thunderborn barbarians come to mind...

Probably B, right now. Though the most recent update added the stout property to certain (but not all) double weapons, which lets them be treated as a two-handed weapon. For sure, with Spiked Chain Training, you treat the spiked chain as a reach light blade AND flail all the time. I don't...

Any idea why? The only thing I can think of, especially for the Monster Builder, is that Tiamat's design is a formatting nightmare.

Why devoted to an archfey, instead of one of the most powerful primal spirits, like the World Serpent, Fate Weaver, etc., that are spelled out in Primal Power? To me, devotion to an archfey screams fey pact warlock.

The Pact Initiate feat only gives you (1) the pact at-will power as an encounter power, (2) the ability to qualify for paragon paths that specify a particular pact, and (3) the ability to use wands/rods/pact blades for warlock and warlock PP powers. Given that, my answers to your questions...

Do you actually want to use monster stats straight out of the 4e MM and MM2? Or just the design philosophy? I prefer DMing 4e, and so for the 3.5e games that I continue to run, I've started to adopt some of the practices -- minions with few HP but level-appropriate attacks and mediocre damage...

Yeah, the drow long knife is a cool idea. Having a heavy thrown weapon that doubles as your primary melee weapon gives you a good ranged attack.

You can only purchase one magic item? That could be rough for a tempest fighter, as you wield two weapons, so one will have an inferior attack roll. How much can you spend on one item? You could take the ranger multiclass feat Warrior of the Wild to get Hunter's Quarry 1/encounter (basically...

General Lack of a defining / different mechanic for Warlock's Curse, which looks a lot like Hunter's Quarry No feat to augment a warlock's curse damage, a la Backstabber and Lethal Hunter No choice of at-wills -- it's eldritch blast/strike and your pact at-will Sharing Prime Shot with rangers --...

There's a flying carpet still, I think. And the epic-tier Zephyr boots give you a fly speed.

I am guessing that a feat in the vein of Improved Unarmored Defense might exist in the PHB3, and perhaps other feats that provide a benefit when wearing no or cloth armor. But yes, given what we see now, a monk could obtain a better AC by investing in leather and hide armor proficiencies, along...

As I scrolled briefly through the previous posts, with ideas already in mind, I found said ideas quickly being crossed off the list. Guess that happens when you're late to the party :) I like the ideas of encountering mischievous fey, and having a bridge problem -- something that the PCs could...
