    Optimizing my offbeat barbarian

    Thanks everyone. Level 1 is a done deal, so I can't make any changes to that. Tanuki: I've always hated the concept of the spiked chain, but now that you've described the one-handed version as whip-like, it sounds a lot cooler. What are the stats on it? I like the idea of a regular...

    Optimizing my offbeat barbarian

    I'm running a human barbarian in Eberron who is actually a university professor - he spent the two skill points to gain literacy, and the Able Learner feat from RoD to but cross-class skill ranks at 1 point per rank. With a 14 INT and being human, he has plenty of skill points, which he has...

    Full BAB and lots of skill points?

    By that logic, do you think the ranger class having 6 skill points/level is also unbalancing?

    Your favorite LA +1

    Taking away the +4 STR and the powerful build ability would do the trick, I'm sure. ;)

    Full BAB and lots of skill points?

    Wow ... it's amazing how few there are. Thanks!

    Full BAB and lots of skill points?

    Other than the ranger, are there any other classes or prestige classes that give full BAB progression and 6 or more skill points/level?

    Palm OS-friendly SRD?

    Does anyone else have a Palm OS device and carry around a copy of the SRd with them? If so, what version of the SRd did you use, and how did you convert it to a Palm-friendly format? I've tried converting various HTML versions to Plucker format, but the tables get all messed-up this way...

    Does DR protect against falling damage?

    Logically speaking, I'd say yes, even if it isn't directly supported by the rules. Unless the creature has DR 15/ground or some such. :p

    dwarf fighter / barbarian

    Oh, and if he can afford it, mithril full plate armor is considered medium armor, so he could get the fast movement ability while wearing a suit of this stuff.

    dwarf fighter / barbarian

    No penalties for taking a level of barbarian, since his other levels are in fighter, which is the dwarves' favored class. Dwarves can move at their full speed in medium and heavy armor, but the armor is still medium or heavy, so the barbarian fast movement limitation still applies. As an...

    Gay PCs or NPCs

    My current PC in a mini-series I'm playing in is gay, but it hasn't ever come-up in play. It's possible the mini-series will end without it ever being revealed, since there are only two more sessions!

    16th level Paladin Archer?

    A quick fix would be swapping DEX and WIS, and taking the Zen Archery feat from Complete Warrior, as mentioned by djrdjmsqrd. I also like the elven racial substitution level idea to do ranged smite. Would be quite a unique paladin, for sure.

    Best race for sorcerer?

    FYI, I decided to go with a human in the end, partially because I never play humans, and partially for the extra feat (especially since I plan on taking some of the dragonic feats from CA).

    Wooden dice sets?

    I've always wanted to have a full set of dice made of varnished wood, but I've never seen one before. Do these exist anywhere? I've seen wooden d6's, but that's about it.

    What flavor are sorcerers in your campaign?

    That's because I already made the joke in my original post. ;)

    What flavor are sorcerers in your campaign?

    I perfer mint-chocolate myself. :p Seriously though, I've always felt that sorcerers weren't different enough flavor-wise or mechanically from wizards. They use a different mechanic for casting spells, and there's some vague fluff about the "blood of dragons", but that's about it. How do...

    Eberron: Racial Feats

    I don't believe there are any. There's some in Races of Eberron, though.

    LA+1. Can you be a 0-level character?

    I say go with Commoner as the base for 0-level, then replace with the first level of whatever class was chosen. That way, you don't have to worry about losing any abilities when you level-up. :)

    LA+1. Can you be a 0-level character?

    There's no rules for it, but I'd probably allow it, so long as it didn't bother the other players.

    The "Everything Sorcerer" Thread

    Actually, I wondered if it applied with any weapon, not just the spear. Off the cuff, it would seem to me logically that if a non-movement related action is taken that could provoke an attack of opportunity (casting a spell, drinking a potion), then the character's defenses are down for that...
