I have to agree with Psion. Bling = stuff, not innate powers. These thread does not talk about what I thought it would at all. In answer to the question asked -- no, I have no problem with kewl powers. I wish all the classes had them at every level. As for the question I thought this would...

Being able to stay young doesn't make you immortal -- or even close to immortal, given all the frenzied berserkers and tarrasques and drug-addled pixies there are in your average D&D world. Old age is really the *least* likely end for any sort of person in a D&D world, if you look at the...

Oh -- it's actually x4? I was not aware of that. Thanks for the info.

I have made many a power build (some of them played, some of them not) in 3e and I'm looking for a new one. I've decided to munchkinize for movement rate. I've got some good tricks, but I'm looking for others. One obvious thing (to me, at least) is to take a level of cleric of Ehlonna, with...

Correct -- you are doing 3 points of damage with your two-handed weapon for every 1 point of BAB you are sacrificing.

I could make all sorts of comments about the whole drow racism and/or Confederacy thing but, since I just came back after who knows how many years, I don't think I want to get banhammered *yet*. But I will say that a campaign where it turns out that the drow are the innocent and aggreived party...

One of the stranger changes in 3e is that they cut out all magic that can extend a character's lifespan. Even things that have no conceivable reason to stop working -- like Timeless Body -- still click off when you hit the end of your lifespan. This is strange for a number of reasons. I've...

Hobgoblins. They're uruk hai with the serial numbers filed off. :)

You wouldn't think it was so funny if you were around flying elephants. :uhoh:

The wording in the rules is unimportant. The INTENT was clearly that humans get a bonus skill point every level, giving them an absolute mimimum of 2 skill points/level.

PHB p.144 "You can take a 5-foot step before, during, or after your other actions for the round." Note the word "during". That means your answer is "yes". Thread over!

No, no I haven't. Since the DM usually "happens" to make the save roll for the bad guy. All or nothing saves usually mean "nothing" when the DM is rolling the dice. :( WingOver: thanks for the ideas. I've heard a couple of 'em over on Nothingland, but the Greater Dispel is one we missed. :)

That's because they thought of it. Most of the druid-whatever combos are just as ridiculous...

It's possible -- for a human fighter with two flaws (from Unearthed Arcana and/or Dragon magazine). Not a good idea, usually, but possible. :)

Now I'm going to take exception to that. I'd say the "major" third party publishers -- such as Monte, Green Ronin, and Fantasy Flight -- do a much BETTER job of keeping track of balance than WotC does. Especially after the horror stories I've heard connected to Vow of Poverty.

I know. :lol: It's a poll tactic I picked up from online poltical quizzes. No fence sitting! You have to pick one way or the other. :)

A quick offtopic answer! ;) Due to one problem after another (today was supposed to be a game day) we haven't gotten to play much yet. So far, we're just in the introductory stuff, so they haven't gotten into a fight yet. I'll let you know, though, when we get into it. :)

Only because you read the silly threads in this forum where people come up with munchkin combos that, while sometimes sticking to the letter of the rules, violate not only the spirit of the rules, but also (and more importantly) totally go against the character of the druid. Paladin plus...

I don't own that book, and neither does anyone I play with, so that doesn't affect me. :) Thanks for the other ideas, though. They sound interesting.

Arkhandus, I get your reasoning. I just don't *buy* it. :) Your analysis of the rules is good; I just don't buy the official line of reasoning. Also, a very important point is that, in your "average" campaign, it's not a few monsters. About 50% of the monsters in an "average" adventure are...
