that paladin must be flat-footed a lot... rogues take note and personally i'd change the melee penalties to -2 to hit and -2 AC, to show they really are inept at melee combat, and make casting defensively harder/impossible.

why would a "frail" race want to lower its hitpoints even further in order to gain melee bonuses? *EDIT* i'm not sure where i was going with this earlier, probly just ramblings... i'll repost if i figure it out

in 2nd Ed we used the "Players Option: Skills and Powers" flaws all the time one of my favorite characters ever had 4 major flaws (in addition to not being able to speak Common), all RP based and every flaw came up in every game. and for some reason i love playing elves with the deep sleeper...

i disagree lets hope this quoting of the 2nd Ed DMG is small enough to fall under 'fair use' rights. i miss how much these items could boost your strength :(

i guess i just assumed that gaunlets of ogre power and girdles of giant strength had a synergy/stacking effect like they did in 2nd ed...

in Arcana Unearthed there is a varient fighter that gets sneak attack as a rogue would instead of his fighter bonus feats basically this is: d6 sneak attack = 1 feat so let the character do that

i realize that 16 dex isnt min/max'd optimized "best" for a sword and shield fighter he will wear a masterwork breastplate at 3rd level (the campaign starts at 3rd) the character is not a turtle with a sword/shield the character is a rabbit with a sword/shield has anyone ever used the Dive for...

well, you are a fighter/rogue, so the straight fighter probably should be a better combatant, but perhaps you could try two-handed weapons only getting +1 damage for -1 to hit. See how that goes for a couple sessions and let us know how it went. Good Luck

I worry about hitpoints because anything powerful enough to hit such a high AC is going to do enough damage to make it hurt Belbarid- weapon finesse takes penalties when using a shield, but CombatExpertise and Fighting Defensivly sounds good Ysgarran- Champion of Corellon looks good, i'll...

we're using 28 point buy and character concept /background doesnt allow dumping of cha at level 3 i'll have 23 AC without magic gear (using one house feat) i'll go for +con and +ac maybe adamantine for the DR do people feel Improved toughness is worth it as a feat? at level 7, would you...

so in the next campaign i'm playing an elf fighter (sword and shield) my problem is hit points, the -2 con is leaving me with only 10 con what's the best way to increase my staying power from there?

i like the idea, but it needs fleshing out and limits on enhancments maybe something like each polymorph spell gives you a certain amount of "morph points" *lame name*, which can be spent on enhancing features (ie. tougher skin/scales/shell, size adjustments, addition appendages) needs fleshing out

My group went to point buy after some players complained their characters were always overshadowed by the characters with high stats. Point buy helps in combat encounters too because it's hard to make an encounter that is challenging to a high stat character without being deadly to average stat...

hooray, that halfling is wearing padded armor, so he's immune to a giantsized whip.

my friend and i are toying with the idea of giving half the "empty" levels a +1 dodge AC, and the other half gets +1 to one saving throw. maybe fighter 3 should remain empty to so this only helps those that do more than a 4 level dip

how about this for a manuever: Heavy Swing (or a better name) take a -4 to hit, gain +2 to damage rolls this is fighting defensivly, applied like Power Attack

i understand what you mean, but on a 3-18 scale its hard to have slight variances good points tho "Why are they more likely to succumb to disease and poison?" - you'd think something that lives 500+ years should be almost disease immune. really, its all there for game balance and ease of...

so an elf is a medium sized halfling? but with -2 Con what is your goal in lowering their strength?

i'm not a fan of "Faithful Steed" could a paladin take the "Faithful Steed" feat to have an even better mount? i'm not sure empathic link belongs. it really lessens the value of paladin/druid/ranger companions

what do people think of this modification to ignore foe: change "you provoke an AOO from non-ignored foes whenever you are struck for damage by the foe you are ignoring." to the ignored attacker gets an AoO each round they are ignored. If this attack does damage, the defender gets no benefit...
