Being a Dwarf player (I like dwarves both mechanically and RP wise) I really don't think they need any more boosts. Darkvision is a great ability, easily equal to a feat. The +2 save vs. magic is better than any of the +2 save feats IMHO (Usually when you are making a save its versus some sort...

ENTJ for me. It said that University Professor would be good career path for this personality and that is pretty much where my career is headed.

In my mind I don't think the buckler spikes you offered (1d4, P, 20/x2) would pose a major threat to game balance. They would probably be most useful to TWF, archer types who don't want to have to drop their sheild to use their bow. Even in this case a 1d4 damage weapon at -2 atk is a pretty...

HA!:D Now I'll let you get back to your discussion.

IMC the Cleric is played by the least experienced RPer in the group and her character easily outshines the Paladin and frequently keeps up with my Dwarf Barbarian/Fighter in melee combat (if I'm not in a rage). This is in spite of the fact that her feat/domain selection isn't even optimal for a...

I allways liked the Hunter of the Dead myself. Cool concept, specialized, and well balanced IMO.

Yeah I probably still wouldn't take it unless I was interested in the other feats in the chain or trying very hard to max out my AC. Compared to Point Blank Shot, Power Attack and many of the other attack feats it just seems weak to me. At least with the flat +1 to AC it isn't a pain to use in...

I think assigning a flat +1 AC for the dodge feat isn't unbalancing at all(and it is easier). I've thought about doing the same thing in my games as well and they are not even low magic.

No he's talking about the Divine feats in Dragon 305 for non-cleric characters. I actualy thought that most of the feats were a little on the weak side. Especially because they can be used once a day and bonuses from the different feats can not stack with each other.

I agree the amount work involved with making a jump check is way too much! I'm no math slouch either, with a couple of years of college calculus under my belt.

Full HP at first level and the HD/2 rounded down every level after that. Just like the optional rule in the DMG. It works well for us. I would deffinately have reservations about playing in a campaign where HP's are rolled randomly. It's just to easy for some lucky rolls by one player and...

IMC we don't have use the FRCS or the Equipment guide. When my dwarf wanted a Maul as a secondary weapon (I usually use a guisarme) we upsized the warhammer to large. This gives you 2d6 20/X3. The d10 seems pretty weird to me. I would expect a d12 or a 2d6. I mean isn't a greatclub free? A...

Currently playing a Dwarf barbarian/fighter. I'm the only non-human in my group though.

I thought it would be fun to have thread dedicated to cool spell combinations. Here's mine: Darned if you do darned if don't (Cleaned up for Eric's Grandma;).) Works for a Druid lvl 3. Round 1- Cast Briar Web(MotW) Round 2- Cast Summon Swarm Creatures who fail their save and are entangled...

Thanx for pointing out your house rules PS. Sunday my DM had some Ettins weilding giant whips and they were making AoO with them. I figured this wasn't strictly correct but I didn't say anything because I agree the whip as it stands is a pretty useless weapon. (I'll take getting hit with a...

Well the whip is considered a ranged weapon so can it threaten squares?

I've always used the generic +2 to will saves. I don't have my books in front of me now but I don't recall reading the save bonus is only vs fear effects. And from the SRD. Seems pretty clear here.

None of these things bother me at all. At least in my group while it's true we don't see many very low scores or odd scores there is still alot of diversity in ability scores beyond that. If a 14 and 15 dex are essentially identicle in game play, that "diversity" of having a mix of even and...

Re: Re This arguement seems to contradict itself to me. After all a point buy system gives the player MORE control over their stats than when rolling randomly. What happens to the poor player who wants to play an Aragorn, but gets stats more suitable for a Sam Gamgee? Player can get unlucky...

Erm I thought I had gotten the board speek around here down pretty well. I need some help with this one though.
