"Call me by my first name, I would not take offense . . . though I do not mind if you want to call me Glaive either. It speaks of an implicit trust in my prowess with the weapon. I shall take first watch, as it suits me . . . though I am actually not as keen-eyed as elves are supposed to be I...

"Then I wish you luck in battle, my lords." With a bow and a flash of light, the cultist disappears along with the warg corpses. The shifting winds bring Snargle a firmer idea of the elves' direction.

Rosa smiles brightly. "Vanguard of the glorious return to the sky for the great tribe of Magnesium Mixed With Copper, I see," she says, using the draconic translation of the phrase. "Indeed it has a certain cachet. Well, I am sorry that due to circumstances we must ask you to get to work...

Ainel, Duskblade 1 Ainel mentally assesses the group. Plenty of ranged fighters. Satisfied that a melee fighter is more needed than another archer, he leaves his bow slung across his back and grips his glaive as the unit moves out. Remembering the officer's earlier order, he attempts to move...

Familiar spell is, IIRC, a really obnoxious version of the feat that gives an extra spell slot. :P Racial mods are class skills for racial HD. It's a common house rule to add them as class skills, but it's not RAW.

I asked a similar question a while back. The Dragonlance books have a version of the Death Knight, but most people apparently go with MM2.

"Our apologies for the delay," comes a voice from the jungle. A female gnome clad in green cloth steps into the clearing. Here and there a hint of metal armor shows, but it is dull and nonreflective, and in some places smeared with mud. "We have made contact with the natives, some of it...

Ah. Well, I guess we'll find out how bad it is. :) Incidentally, I'm playing his -cha modifier as a lack of self-confidence. He is very intelligent and, for an elf, much stronger than normal, but he is bereft of the dynamic energy that a leader would have.

After a few moments of silence, a pale elf clad in a chain shirt takes an uncomfortable step forward. His movements are graceful, but he lacks the beauty and poise of a stereotypical member of his race. "Seeing as no one else wants to start, I suppose I can. I am called Ainel, and I believe I...

Thank you, and thanks for the warning. :D I take it you mean things like winter wolves will be more common, since the penalty applies against supernatural cold. I guess I'll see how it works out. My saves are nothing awesome, but they seem survivable. (Other players, please correct me if...

Let me echo Stream's advice. I have never played a crusader without multiclassing heavily. Your concept suggests Scout or Ranger. You can splash in crusader later on.

A faint breeze from the east carries the scent of goblins and ogres, mixed with the smell of elves. Judging from the stronger scent of elves, they are close by. The hooded cultist shifts uneasily. "Goblin lands. I would not be welcome. I will go, and take these bodies to be animated unless...

Seeing no one object to this plan, Rosa packs up her things and prepares to move out. "I will help with the scouting," she offers, setting out ahead and fading into the shadows.

I've definitely noticed a slowdown as well. Thanks for keeping us posted!

Okay, I dug out my LoM since I remember Dark being very competitive with Shadow as an option. I found the basis of my impression: Shadow costs +2 LA whereas Dark only costs +1. If you aren't able to buy off LA, and/or you're starting low level, this could be an issue.

Template stacking can be done almost indefinitely and has yielded hilarious results in the past (i.e., a half-dragon half-fiend half-centaur dwarf is not really recognizable as a dwarf.) ;)

Being immune to critical hits and having terrible Dex may practically achieve the same result. :p

Aha. Thanks for the clarifications!
