    D&D 5E (2014) Spiked Chain Barbarian... where do I go next?

    Two levels of Barbarian and take the Extra Rage feat. For two levels and a feat you get Rage 3x a day, skills, hit points, Uncanny Dodge. Then go straight Psy Warrior. They get feats (almost) just like the fighter but can do so much more. Instead of getting the Wiz to Poly you (if he even...

    Looking for advice on Thrid party modules.

    I've heard good things about this module as well, though I have yet to pick it up. I'll prolly put it on my X-Mas list.

    Looking for advice on Thrid party modules.

    Yeah, get Of Sound Mind. Very fun adventure anf it can be adapted for most levels up to 5 or 6. I ran the first Freeport adventure, that was alot of fun. Other than that the only 3e module I have experience with is RttToEE, which is a campaign in itself.

    Nothing from the Wheel of Time RPG is OGL.

    The Rat Bastard’s Club is now recruiting new members!

    Re: The Rat Bastard’s Club is now recruiting new members! I like to run whatever game my players want. I take the radically different viewpoint that it's not MY game, it's their game and I am just here to give them a good time. However, I expect to have a good time as well. For me this...

    What was your first ever D&D product?

    Basic set, red box, probably 12th printing. I think I still have those dice knocking around in my parents house somewhere. Pretty stained by now, we used to play with this guy Bob who'd spill soda at least twice a night.

    I have a player already in the club. Does that mean if I get accepted he gets thrown out? If the answer is 'yes' I may have to give it a shot :D

    How does the Paladin stack up?

    Paladins stack up well after a while in the cold. The problem is they burn with a greasy yellow smoke. A cord of good pine gives a much hotter fire, though rarely as satisfying.

    Barbarian Building!

    I just wanna add: Opportunist is reeeeeeaaaly nice when you are doing 1d10+20+5d6 (or more) on that extra attack. Even better if you double-hand it, 2d6+25+5d6, or more (PA, Str buffs, rage, etc), and then get a crit on 18+ with Imp Crit: Greatsword. Thats alot of extra damage in a round :D

    Flaming/Flaming Burst...and its cousins...

    True dat. In my campaign I made Bane only a +1 enhancement for most creature types.

    I think my wizard is going to be poor

    "Furthermore a Kiira acts as a spellbook, allowing a wizard to record spells into and prepare spells from a Kiira as if it were a spellbook, requiring the normal amount of time and expense." (emphasis mine) Nowhere does it say scribing into a Kiira costs nothing.

    Barbarian Building!

    Well, if you wanna get really twinky theres no reason not to just go Barb2/Rogue3/Fighter5 and take the Extra Rage feat. Get three bonus feats, and Specialization available, at the cost of 5 hit points.

    Barbarian Building!

    I would go with Barbarian5/Rogue5 if you are gonna dual-wield. The skills are awesome, your Uncanny Dodge will be advanced more, and you will be getting +3d6 sneak attack damage, at the cost of only 2 BAB. The Sneak Attack really buffs up dual-wielders because it adds alot more damage per...

    Daze vs Tasha's Hideous Laughter

    Hum. Spend a feat to make a Humanoid take a DC (base) 10 save or lose 3 rounds. Or, make any creature take a DC 12 save, and spend the feat on something else. Like Spell Focus, kicking that save up to 14. Since Tashas averages at 2.5 rounds incapacitated and getting up from prone is 1/2 a...

    Magic item for +10 Performance skill

    Yeah. Or I could get a +4 stat item for that amount, probably Dexterity. Looked at the rules lately? There are a very limited number of slots magic items can take up. Double or more stacking doubles the cost. 'Slotless' items are even more expensive. Typical Warrior or Magic user has...

    I'll admit it: I'm playing an Illithid.

    A Psion fits the theme, but similar to the Wizard and Sorcerer, spells/power that low level won't be very usefull. The Psi feats however could be very cool, particularlly since you could apply them to your inate powers. Have you considered a Psi Warrior? That would net you a few self-buff...

    This is why I'm buying d20 Modern!

    These statements are true; 1) lots of people don't like GURPs, and 2) lots of people use their books as supplements for other games. I suspect you would find less on a message board based on d20,specifically, Dungeons and Dragons 3e. Regardless, a book where the ideas are already statted out...
