    Help on Bard Build - It's a matter of pride, folks.

    In the updated version, Players guide to Faerun, I think it doesn't increase your DC simply because EVERY spell caster no matter what took it, which is a prime reason for nerfing. Just like the 3.0 spell focus and greater spell focus.

    Help on Bard Build - It's a matter of pride, folks.

    I was under the impression that Spellcasting Prodigy had been nerfed now so that it didn't effect the DCs of your spells. There's a misprint somewhere in the Guide to Faerun because the one-line description in the spell lists say it ups the DC where as the feat itself makes no mention of this...

    Help on Bard Build - It's a matter of pride, folks.

    I don't have the book in front of me this second, but I'm pretty sure they require a category of instrument to be specified. I.e. "Perform (Percussion)" or "Perform (Stringed)". I also noted another spell in Player's Guide to Faerun (Or PGF or whatever you crazy kids are calling it nowadays ;)...

    That's exactly what I'm using Mr Elvenshae. Upon first inspection the Trumpet, Drum and Horn all look live viable options. :cool:

    Help on Bard Build - It's a matter of pride, folks.

    Okay, first of all, I asked my DM if I could use that Eberron feat (song of the heart) despite us playing in FR, he said fine no problems. Now if I read that correctly from JASIN's post earlier on, once I meet the pre-requisites at 3rd level, that feats slaps +1 on to my Inspire Courage Bardic...

    Help on Bard Build - It's a matter of pride, folks.

    I know man, I said that. I just mean that a build with SOME degree of combat capability would be my preference. Meaning that I'm one up from the Wizard in melee, and even then, not if he's got Shocking Grasp memmed! So what do these bards do during combat?

    Help on Bard Build - It's a matter of pride, folks.

    I wouldn't say the game is focused around combat necessarily, but like all groups, everyone likes a scrap from time to time. I'm not worried about the social aspects of things being glossed over, that's not an issue. I would agree with you saying that the group is prejudiced towards bards, but...

    Help on Bard Build - It's a matter of pride, folks.

    Okay to clarify, first and foremost I'm looking for a character that isn't going to be the reject of the group. I think one of the reasons that the guys I game with laugh at the bard are his exclusive abilities. "+1 to stuff once per level per day? THAT'S what you're getting for playing a...

    Help on Bard Build - It's a matter of pride, folks.

    Hi all, My character recenly died in a relatively low-level campaign, we were all 4th level. Normally, we're quite strict on bringing in new characters, making them 1st level and only 1st level, no exceptions... except this one exception. ;) My DM, in his inifinite wisdom, is letting me come...

    Random character generator?

    Hi all, Does anyone know of a true random character generator with free access? We started a low-level campaign about seven weeks ago (so seven sessions) and my character wound up very very dead. Damned ogres. I just found myself at a loss as to what to play next, I fancy the challenge of...

    Experiment: Incognito Monster

    Rakesha.... Reshecka... Rackackasesh.... The Tiger-headed folk from MM1 that began "R" and had a "sshhhh" sound in there somewhere. Intelligent, tough, fighter/casters, master illusionists. Ideal for what you lads are looking for. :)

    Power Attack + Champion of Corellon's Elegant Strike.

    It's a Champion of Corellon PrC special ability from Races of the Wild. Without quoting exactly, because I'm in a hurry, it adds your DEX mod to damage (in addition to standard damage bonuses) with certain weapons. The damage isn't applied to the usual suspects unnaffected by crits and sneak...

    I could use a hand with Disguise Self

    Surely though Jack, to detect it, he'd have to have a reason for studying everything carefully... I dare say he couldn't announce to his DM that "Until further notice, I'm carefully studying everything I see." It'd take him ten minutes to turn his head! :p

    Critical Fumble?

    Wraithstrike & Armour of Fortitude

    Hi all, Just a quicky. This came up when duelling two PCs one against the other, as is seemingly inevitable in that space between sessions. Basically, if I cast Wraithstrike (Complete Adventurer) and attack somebody with Armour of Fortitude, does the armour's ability still negate critical...

    +3 Defender - Usage

    Ahhh, well that's good, that's one of the most important point for me. So basically I've been given +3 AC for any round in which I cast, activate a wand, drink a potion, move positions and the rest of it. Common opinion appears to be that it must be unsheathed and held for this, which I think...

    +3 Defender - Usage

    Okay guys, think we've become a little sidetracked here. I'm not interested in a Defender versus anything because my DM put in a Defender and that's that. I was just interested in the logistics of using said Defender, that's all. It seems to be pretty much split down the middle so far too...

    +3 Defender - Usage

    Hi all, A relatively simple question I'm hoping, given some of the discussion had on here of late. I've just got my mits on a +3 Defender in my campaign, it's a greatsword if that's relevant. My problem is that the DMG rules on the matter or fairly vague. I understand the concept of moving...

    Character Build: Dragon Disciple

    Hi all, A friend of mine just got coup-de-graced by a Harpy (Please, no more laughing!) and we don't have the resources to raise him so it's new character time. I suggested a Dragon Disciple because they look quite novel and I've never seen one be used before. He's on the fence about it. Could...
