They were +1 swords? Since the earth is not +1 enchanment, they could not break, under the rules for breaking magic items. Still, DMs can do as they see fit... OfficeRonin

Here's a pair -- An arcanist (cleric1/wizard3/arcanist) with a fighter who uses polearms, along with combat reflexes, and that feat that stops movement (hold the line?). Along with being a counterspelling machine (with the feats improved initiative/improved counterspelling/reactive...

Ah, so casting magic vestment on your clothes will not stack with mage armor. Ooops. It would still stack with a monk's Wisdom AC adjustment, right? OfficeRonin

Goblin rogue9/fighter2 Took weapon focus and the first level of the Cordun style out of Quintessential fighter (got a shield bash) Goblins are great rogues -- most of the halfling benefits, but without the speed penalty... OfficeRonin

Found a link at a yahoo club -- I'm the one that polled "other". OfficeRonin

After wiping out a goblin tribe, the adventurers went on their merry way. A few levels later, some of the survivors of that tribe had survived, gained class levels, and tracked them down. Just an opinion, but goblin is a better race for rogues than halfling! OfficeRonin

OK. When I read the Forgotten Realms book, and it said that mages don't use magic for casual travel (like shipping), but the Red Wizards of Thay constantly blew their xps on selling magic items, I thought, "How absurd!" Compare shipping a wagonload of cargo to a city one month's travel away...

For a party of four, the basics should be covered: One rogue, one fighter, one cleric, and one wizard. I haven't found anything that works much better. PrCs as appropriate, but the spellcasters should never sacrifice a spellcasting level, nor the rogue a level of sneak attack, nor the fighter...

Alcolyte of the Dragon is pretty uber, and Quintessential Monk rocks. OfficeRonin

Good for clerical archers... And monk archers.

I wrote the thread "a history to solve problems", and, although the history was written to solve a different problem, we also noticed that it allowed for multiple settings, since stumbling into a teleportation circle can happen whenever the plot needs a shove... OfficeRonin

We also thought it was pretty silly that, at towns in low-level games, there are no high level folks around, but at high levels, they are all over. So, we decided to justify it... In days of yore, the world was connected by teleportation circles. Each village had a circle to and from the...

In the area I'm in the area (Southwestern Hanover Park) -- when do you game? Email me at: officeronin@yahoo.com Just as a caveat -- I buy most of my gaming supplies at Games Plus. Yes, it's a drive, but they know their stuff. Way better than the two gamer stores in Woodfield... OfficeRonin

A little more... Thanks for the answers!!! Here's a few more questions: On the lizardfolk level, we're making PCs, and their are two sets of numbers. We are using the one at the end of chapter 2 of the DMG, which I believe is +1. IDHTBIFOM, so I can't be sure. Minor quibble... How many...

Wait a minute -- they fire half their design staff, freelance all their top people, and we expect this version 3.1 to be better, clearer, and with fewer rules problems? I don't think it's whiney to be more than a little suspicious. While I'm not planning to change systems over this, I'd...

Not to stir things up... In my experience, TWF is underpowered, except for rogues. Comparing dual short swords to a greatsword, the average damage is identical, and the short swords are 10% less likely to hit, even with 2 weapon fighting and ambidexterity. So, even if archery is more powerful...

How do you figure monster levels for feats? Say you're making a lizardfolk rogue as a 6th level PC. Lizardfolk is a +1 mod, so you're a 5th level rogue. Does the +1 mod from lizardfolk count when figuring feats? How about maximum skill ranks? The DMG seems to indicate that the +1 mod is...

The pre-reqs are improved initiative and improved counterspelling. Combine it with spell hawk and the feat from Quintessential Wizard that allows a countered spell to go off, just with the counterspelling casters choice of range. <The fireball goes off at the caster's feet...> OfficeRonin

If you opt not to have the shield provide cover, would it stack with cover? That is, would the +7 from the shield stack with the cover from the big rock you're standing behind? Officeronin

Any other feats? If you have Quicker than the Eye, you can sneak attack (because you have won initiative), and then use quicker than the eye to hide.
