I like this idea. I will try to work on a couple of these and post them here to see what you think. It could add a little more depth to the game for doing heroic deeds other than "yay we killed the baddy. Let's go collect our reward."

I have a few different options I go with. Sometimes start them out as escaped slaves. Give them basically nothing except the clothes on their backs. Other times they might be aristocrats trying to go out and make a name for themselves. Give them max standard x2. As for the higher level I...

I don't know what the skarn race consists of, but they are better for paladins. Not as good for barbarians though. I think it just depends on the build of the character. All stats have a use in the right build.

Thanks I like these ideas, one of the spells I looked at was mass resist energy. I think that would fit well, I also like the spell list idea. It makes it more useful. Keep up the good ideas.

I am looking for suggestions on what I could possibly replace the Palain's Remove Disease ability with. I am looking for something that is not gamebreaking, but gives him a little more combat power. I know that the ability is more of a game flavor thing, but I am not a big fan of it and I...

Heart of stone is a level 8 spell. You replace your heart with a stone heart for 1 year. It costs 500xp and 5000gp. Gives you DR 5/- and resistance 5 to I think electricity, fire, and cold. Slows your natural healing to 1 pt per day. Balor nimbus is an option for grappling. 2nd level spell...

Why use a greatclub when you could use a huge club? It might take a couple of feats, but I don't see why it wouldn't work.

I don't know if this works for most people, but I houserule the ring of regen to do 1 hp per round. I think it rather useless and overpriced otherwise.

What about the spiked chain in the hands of a large creature? I have never really found the rules on this, but have ran it as 15' reach threatening every square.

I have never really had an issue with any certain class being under or overpowered in my campaigns. My biggest issue is normally who is running the character. A creative player can make any class be overpowered in my opinion. I have seen some interesting builds in my few years as a player/DM...

By the rules I don't see anything that actually says anything about this. I would go to rule 0 of the DMG on this. It would depend on the undead creature wielding the item. If it was an intelligent undead I would say apply ego as normal, if unintelligent creature happens to pick up item I...

The party should have plenty of torches. They can always use those to kill the trolls. Probably a little slow though. I normally allow trolls to be killed with about half damage of total hp from fire or acid once they are knocked out.

There are plenty of decent buffs with long durations though. I would try to find as many as I could and cast those on myself. If you have extend spell it helps quite a bit on spells also.

I would say you are forgetting about the ever important stoneskin, and don't forget that you can weaken opponents before you charge into combat. One of my favorite spells is ray of enfeeblement. At that level even if you roll low you are looking at 6 points of strength gone. Cast greater mage...

Depending on my mood as a DM I sometimes change the Focus, Specialization, Improved Crit and other similar feats to apply to a broader group of weapons. I don't like limiting someone to only a longsword. Instead of focus: longsword, I allow Focus: Swords. Apply it Greatswords, Longswords...

My favorite 1st level spell is Ray of enfeeblement. Touch, no save D6+ 1/2 level to strength. It has a way of turning ogres into little pansies at about level 6. As far as ranged touch for regular damage I can't think of any off hand. Might want to check the spell compendium if you have it.

They also risk losing a level at a Fort save DC 25. Although at some point in the game the becomes an easy role.

I personally prefer the cleric of kossuth route for the spiked chain. Go with the war domain to get prof and focus. Don't have my books handy, but I think the destruction domain is also available. Divine power + Righteous might with combat reflexes for the Aoo is devastating. Stats are at...

Think of an ogre weretiger. Shapeshifts to weretiger goes from large to large. Then casts righteous might. Under option A he would not go to huge, I choose B.

Taking the feat twice and going with mystic theurge is a nasty character. Fun to play or throw at a party though. Clr 5/Wiz 5/Mys x.
