If you want to abuse leap attack with power attack and a 2-H weapon then you should probably skip speed of thought and up the walls...instead take psionic weapon and Deep Impact. Up the walls is cute and has a few interesting tactical benefits, but deep impact is practically mandatory for a...

Just name your guy Guts and get it over with. It's ok...I played a druid once designed after Kurama from Yu Yu Hakusho. One of my most memorable characters ever. :) Your weapon can resemble pretty much anything you want it to, as long as it is mechanically equivalent to something normal....ie...

Rule 0 in all of my gaming groups I've ever played in was that the DM gets final say....I've only been gaming for about 15 years though, and I've only had about 5 distinct gaming groups in all that time. I'm thinking the definition of rule 0 must have evolved....At least it still vaguely...

Monk2 Psi War18 = a highly independant extremely effective grappler. Monastic training + Tashalatora(SoS) is the basics. From there you take Imp grapple, Imp natural attack, superior unarmed strike, and get a monks belt. You'll be doing many many d8s of unarmed strike damage with Psionic...

If the party has identified the wand already, then its not considered 'activating blindly'. If its a magic stick they just found in a dungeon and the rogue wants to try and activate it then he uses the higher DC. Pygmy's answers all seem correct to me.

Of course, the observant wizard may notice your pause and guess your plan. Then all he has to do is pull out a scroll or staff or potion from his haversack, and activate that instead....nope, not casting a spell, so no triggering of the readied action. I'd have to look it up to know if it...

I read that tales of Wryn post. I must say that it was very cool, but it was in a very different league than a 5th level druid. He was casting 8th level spells, and had a staff that could cast Storm of Vengance. However that post does very much show how absurdly good druids are at high...

***Disclaimer, there are a few spoilers for the early parts of Age of Worms*** And please don't spoil anything for me beyond what I mention. Encountering a beholder at 4th level was already scary enough! hey guys. I was just curious if anyone has any suggestions/advice for my character. I...

have a permanent dispelling screen or custom effect. installed just inside the passage to wherever it lives? If it is CR 20 it has access to some sort of teleportation magic to bypass the trap. Was the dragon not aware of the PCs presense while all of his minions were dying? I think a few...

couldnt the druid have just shapechanged into a dragon himself and used blindsense to detect the dragon? Or barring that, he could have been wild shaped into an earth elemental and used tremorsense? That doesen't answer your original question though of which Im not sure...Is't it a high level...

If shield spikes have to be enchanted separately, yet they combine into the attack of a Bashing shield wouldn't that be a little crazy? Couldn't you get a +1 Bashing/Frost/acidic/shock shield, and then add shield spikes enchanted to +1 frost/acid/shock/holy/etc... Then when you make a shield...

I wasnt aware that magebane got changed...it used to apply to basically everything high level that you encountered. PCs usually have an easy time dealing with classed NPCs, especially ones that can't cast spells....Since the bulk of most PCs power comes from their magic items and NPC humanoids...

I am surprised your concerned about flaming/frost....you have 3 characters that all took holy, and you actually allowed someone to take magebane(aka Almost everything bane). Magebane is horrendously unbalanced and underprices....it would be worth the cost of a +3 ability but somehow ended up as...

I think one of the more annoying aspects of the core rules is the way traps were implimented....They do so much damage for their CR that an equivalent level trap can kill a PC or tip the balance of a fight by a large margin...the difficulty to find them does not scale well vs the search checks...

tanks are very useful in 3xe...smart critters do not expose themselves to AoOs unless its absolutely necessary. Especially not multiple AoOs when there are flanky sneak attacky things nearby too. Its definitely true that casters should be a primary target, but once the power attacking...

I suppose technically, you could have a good aligned crafter enchant a weapon to be holy, and then an evil aligned crafter add unholy later on...However I imagine it would be extremely difficult to find a crafter who would be willing to handle something that gave him a negative level for a...

A Warforged Psion(shaper) maybe around 7th level is just the counter you need for a abusive player like this. Psionic inflict damage is a great power to use against other warforged and his humonculi. If you prefer something else, give him the expanded knowlege feat and have him take Energy...

It sounds like you are already on pretty solid ground as far as druids go. A periapt of wisdom is good if you ever think you'll be casting offensive magic, and druids get some great offensive/battlefield control spells. If you are set on the burly beast man combat theme you might consider the...

I guess I put too much stock in flavor and RP restrictions in relation to taking feats that are clearly overpowered.. The ebberon book that talks about the Ashbound druids makes it pretty clear that ashbound druids revile civilization and anything relating to non-druidic magic. I am pretty...

it was only a matter of time before someone brought up Pun Pun.
