Hi all, I'm getting a chance to play as my players cycle through attempts at DMing, and I'm having difficulty coming up with a good character. I know I'm playing the cleric. I know I want to play a LN Half-Orc Cleric of Ilneval. However, I have a hard time figuring out what to do with my...

Well, I'm not sure it's not very dwarfish, but the Dervish prestige class is designed to be a death-from-a-thousand-cuts kind of class. And I believe it's in Complete Warrior. Our group has a half-dragon dervish who gets ungodly numbers of attacks for his level.

That's like feeding bacon to the pig that was originally part of the pig. Ew!

If the DM is trying to make magic rare and mysterious, there is a better way to do it. By reducing spell advancement, he is making it less attractive to play a spellcaster over a fighter. A simpler solution (if this *must* be done) is to only give PC's 50% of the experience and treasure they...

Hey there! I mainly posted because I've been looking at supplying Kelestia with more D20 Harn material. My understanding of D20 has improved over the last few years, and I think the campaign setting is one that people should look at. There isn't a definitive D20 set of rules for Harn. Shane...

I was surfing the boards for D20 Harn content and came across this old message ... I did a free D20 supplement for Kelestia Productions' city of Evanekin a couple of years back. It's not that hard to do D20 Harn, with a little tweaking. You can download the PDF at -...

My players once had a camel named Bessim. It was the most irate, ornery, stubborn, and vicious camel they had ever seen. After several memorable encounters, they started referring to it as a dire fiendish war camel. And then Bessim died. So they reincarnated it (3.0). It came back as an...

Well, since you only get 1 feat, take Divine Vigor. It increases your movement and grants you temporary hit points - useful for a Dwarf.

And since daggers are melee and ranged weapons, weapon focus (dagger) and point blank shot do nice double duty ...

Gah! I hate Quaal! Darn him, darn him all to heck! My players are *constantly* buying these things and I'm convinced the 3.5 rewrite of the darn thing was based on my agonized emails to Sean Reynolds and Andy Collins with their 3.0 Quaal Tree Token hijinks. Actually, the tree token is great...

Y'know, the concept of PrCs being undeniably good when the base classes have "dead levels" has something subtle missing. Just for fun, I looked at building a PC who was an illusionist 3/master specialist 7/shadow adept 1. The problem with him was at 11th level, he had a BAB of +2. Couldn't...

My players were terrified of the Nightwalker mini - I had it for about a year and would occassionally goof around by throwing the nightwalker and balor on the table in an intimidating fashion. Of course, one session I did use both miniatures - I used the balor for a nycaloth demon, and then had...

Hey all, This has come up in our games a few times: a character is thwacked by a bad guy, and goes to negative hit points, falling prone and dropping all his stuff. As soon as possible, a friendly ally attempts to feed them a potion or cast cure light wounds on them to stabilize them. Do they...

1st level - Hail of Stone (Spell Compendium - great at lower levels as it powers up faster than magic missile, can hit up to 4 targets in a 5 ft radius, and doesn't allow SR) 2nd level - Heroics (Spell Compendium - you can give a target any fighter bonus feat for 1 hour/level - very versatile)...

Y'know, this just makes Nystul's Magic Aura so much more useful ... :p

The players live with that chance -- really, it means the scroll will work unless they roll a 1 or 2 on a d20. And for a few hundred gold pieces, it's a pretty good insurance policy.

Well, I've got two characters rolled, trying to get together with my friend's son for a third, and I've mostly written out the sorcerer and druid spells on index cards. I may try to type up the index cards and make them available at www.dmtools.org as well. But sadly, no time lately.

Dr. Awkward has it right ... that's how our group handles it.

I've given this a bit of thought. At the time my players were 4th level, I wanted to throw them at a cave of goblin 1st level rogues with gantries and scaffolding, and at the end their own pet gray render. Pretty standard stuff. At the time (this was a while ago), Jurassic Park II came out...

Then I will defer to the DM, and not post them ... However Bob, if you want to see my campaign notes, PM me your email address and I'll fire you over a MS Word doc - I've made extensive changes to the campaign, but there might be something in there that you might find useful ...
