Hi all, I'm 21 now, and I've been gaming every week since I was 14. Obviously when I began, 3rd ed wasn't even in the pipeline so my gaming group and I (all a lot older than myself, incidentally) played 2nd ed also using the player's options series. THERE IS A POINT TO THIS, DON'T CLICK AWAY...

I like elves as a race. Partly for roleplaying reasons, partly for nice little extras like spot/listen bonuses and low light vision. Above anything else though, for roleplaying. I'd never played (nor witnessed anybody else playing) a Sun Elf and thought they could be fun. Haughty and almost...

...True, and you'd almost be as effective as a wizard with 3rd level spells ;)

That is one of the most creative things I have ever seen with regards to D&D. Utterly fantastic.

So even without taking a feat to compliment it, you think a familiar would be a worthwhile commodity? In an ideal world, something like "Improved Familiar" would be a good choice for me, but I simply don't have the feats to spare. I do like the idea of having some kind of flying companion...

I'm currently running a 9th Level Sun Elf Fighter/Wizard/Eldritch Knight. If you've read the gamebreaker thread then you're already familiar (ho ho ho, what a pun) with him. What I'd very much like to know is this; Out of all the classes allowed a familiar, how many of you take advantage of it...

To be honest, I spend very little time 'buffing' in the actual game. The only time it ever comes up is if we KNOW things are waiting in positions for us AND we have the spare time. Honestly, very rare. Actually during combat, as one poster mentioned earlier, I use myself very much to fill the...

Hahah, I'm glad something good came of all this then! I was originally going to play a Spellsword PrC but I don't care if he IS allowed to wear armour, it's not worth ditching spell progression for. In this build I have improved hit dice over a wizard, massively improved base attack (as in, +1...

I think then, that is my mind set at ease. The entire reason I started this thread was to see if I was over powering myself, now I know obviously that the rest of you don't know the ins and outs of the campaign, or even full details on the rest of my party, but your advice and comments have been...

Touchè! I guess to really test a build it'd have to be done in a 'no magic item environment' otherwise it all becomes tainted. ...in which case I still think I'd stand a good chance... ;) Edit: What the hell went on with the text size there!

Perhaps they could do a lot of damage to AC 15 mate, but also bear in mind that I'd have spells like Displacement or at least blur running, for an automatic miss chance, and also mage armour / shield for increased AC. So my AC would more likely be around the 20 mark with a miss chance, which is...

Yeah, spiked chains became so blatantly naughty that we had to nigh-on ban any serious build using them. They were just... silly. I still maintain that this build is powerful because not only am I an above average frontline melee participant, but I have all the benefits of a 7th level Wizard...

Could a pure fighter or barbarian cast haste on themselves and get three attacks per round though? Could they then match three attacks at +18/+18/+13 dealing damage of 2d6 +8 +4d4? Of course I also have the option of vampyric touch to drain 4d6 hitpoints whenever I wish with a relatively easy...

Again, I should've gone into more detail here. The sword is acknowledged by everyone in the party, including the GM, to be extremely powerful. The reason I have the item at all is because the characters we are playing were from a campaign with a GM that starved us of anything magical, and never...

Yes sorry, I should specified; with regards to duration, damage dice and counterspelling I'm 9th level, correct. Also, I think when I checked previously Arcane Strike was classed as a Metamagic Feat, although I may be mistaken. Even if it isn't, like you said, skill focus concentration isn't an...

Hi all, Briefly, I need to know if my character is judged (by you) to be overly powerful for a low level character. I understand that "powerful" is only relative to the individual game, but I'm worried that I've inadvertantly designed a character that forces my GM to overpower encounters and...

So in a situation in which invisible creatures (having used a spell, not a natural ability) were nearby and I was previously unaware, detect magic when activated WOULD alert me to the presence of... something... until I concentrated? Also, what about any carried/equipped magical items etc. Would...

Sorry to bore everybody with what will probably be a post requiring a one-word-answer, but it's important to my character in one of those "Scraping the bottom of the barrel" ways that so often come about when your party is landed in the s**t. To cut a long story short, my character posesses an...

What justifications have they given in the past?
