First off, what Elder-Basilisk said. That's really good stuff, there. I'm going to just apply what he says more than say something new. So, you want to be someone who scouts, sneaks, and disables traps? Sneak attack isn't on that list. Being Small won't be as much of a problem, then. Go for a...

A ranger gets a +2 bonus to all Bluff, Listen, Sense Motive, Spot, and Survival checks against his favored enemy. Bards do a lot of Bluffing and Sensing Motives of humans. So, ranger/bards with a human favored enemy get some nice synergy. Every time you're trying to con your way past the...

Fenwick beams. "Good Lupic, you may stay by me, friend. I can do the talking and asking for you. In any case, I do in fact have a cart and mule, so if everyone needs a place to keep things once we travel, perhaps we take that. It will be slower than traveling light on horseback, though. I...

Fenwick bows. "Thank you for your information. We shall find good Lily." Fenwick looks around at everyone. "Well, I suppose I should find stabling for my shop while we search and perhaps travel. I'm sure my cart would only slow down the caravan." He considers the situation a little further...

By the way, as a Ranger/Bard... What's your favored enemy? Human, I hope. Nothing like stacking Bardic Social-Fu with a +2 bonus to Bluff and Sense Motive.

"My, my..." Fenwick begins. "This is terrible news! The kidnappers would actually expect a man to travel a hundred miles with no one but 2500 crowns for company? That's suicide! Surely, someone would have to be expected to come, as guards for the ransom, if nothing else, like traveling...

OOC: Fenwick has some trade knowledge of Hessen. What a great opportunity, Fenwick thought. A task that is both adventuresome helping a merchant. "We'll do what we can," Fenwick replied.

OOC: Would a Bardic Knowledge check be suitable? Also, do you need to see our rolls, and if so, with which roller? Er, I mean, where's the invisible castle? Fenwick "Beanpole" Glibberjam

Fenwick tugs at his drinking compaions' outfits for just a moment as he walks into the back room.

That PrC is interesting, Nifft. I suspected that the AA was weak, weak, weak (as opposed to just simply weak) because Imbue Arrow, as written, isn't particularly compelling, and the Enhance Arrow powers can be replaced with a magic bow (sure, sundering won't be an issue, but overall it still...

How well does the Arcane Archer stack up to other characters these days? How was it under the core rules, and have new rules/books since then improved it or weakened it? As a PC rises from first level to and through Arcane Archer, are there strong points? Weak points? How is an AA at 9-10...

Fenwick watches as the veterans file out of the room. As much as he wished that it would be a group to join. . . perhaps this was not the time. Ah, well. "Lupic, my friend, perhaps we won't be able to take on this adventure, but there will be more. Your bouncing days will be over, and a new...

Despite my above feelings about first level adventures, I agree with Manzanita. Ultimately, the DMs are the ones to decide what they want to run, and if they want a 3+ level adventure, then that's what we get. If we don't like it, we should run something ourselves. That said, I also applaud...

What's needed are first-level adventures. L1 characters need low-level adventures if they hope to get anywhere. Perhaps there could be two parts to the Tomb adventure? The standard crawl of the adventure as planned, and something small for the first level tagalongs--essentially henchmen. We...

The gnome hops off his seat and heads over to the large half-orc, a large grin on his face. "Lupic, is it? My name's Fenwick. You say you have experience bouncing in taverns, have you? You must be quite strong and skilled in combat. You're certainly impressive in stature! I'm looking for some...

A skinny scrap of a gnome enters the tavern with a spring in his step. He looks quite untried--clean, smooth, and brimming with optimism. His thin, dark waxed mustache and well-maintained, silky pageboy seem almost out of place. He wears a white tunic and leather apron over dark hose and...

Fenwick "Beanpole" Glibberjam - Approved! Name: Fenwick "Beanpole" Glibberjam Class: Bard Race: Gnome Size: Small Gender: Male Alignment: Neutral Good Deity: Geoth Str: 8 -1 (2 p.) Level: 1 XP: 0 Dex: 14 +2 (6 p.) BAB: +0 HP: 7 (1d6+1) Con: 12 +1 (2 p.) Grapple: -5...

Perform(Percussion) is an excellent skill for a bard. You can perform with a one-handed instrument like a tambourine or devil chaser, and percussion is essentially just beating out rhythms on stuff (my apologies to all drummers out there). It covers snares, chimes, triangles, bongos, rain...
