Psions can wear full plate without any practical problems either. None of their class skills are affected by the armour penalty anyway. Oh, my psion can't jump very well? That is okay, I'll levitate. But yeah, regardless of what the body is made of, a warforged never needs to be proficient...

Yeah, that spell gives you 1-4 rounds of turning the fight onesided. Maybe 6th level is a little much to burn a slot on, but putting that spell in a scroll or magic item could mean that your party has up to four rounds to lay the beatdown on the BBG without getting much in the way of...

Okay, let me see if I have the argument right. Ignoring a bunch of stuff about a critter's stat blocks for the moment. The facts are... A bastard sword is too large to use in one hand without special training. A character can use a bastard sword two-handed as a martial weapon. So some...

The class does not give you the Dragonblood subtype nor does it provide you with an equivilent of the draconic heritage feat. By strict reading of the rules it wouldn't appear so. A Dragon Shaman is tapping the power of dragons and doesn't necessarily have it inborn in them or any acual...

Never has a sig been so very very poignant.

Well, to that point the forges have been built so that they require the operator to have a mark of Making. That means that somehow the Lord of Blades has a human of Cannith providing the power of a Dragonmark. Do with that what you will. Is it a hostage? A sympathetic worker? Or is the Lord...

Assuming an average of 2,000 warforged produced each year over the course of 33 years (fist modern warforged in 965, current year 998) gives you a world population of 66,000 spread out across five nations. Well, mostly four. I understand Karnnath was more into their improved undead soldiers...

I've always made the choice that since you can't take wiz/wiz for a level you can't take race/race either. racial levels aren't that much more complicated than a very narrow class so when I had an Ogre Mage/Sorcerer gestalt villain and a thrikreen/psion/ranger combo PC it worked out very well...

Yes it does. That is because Complete Adventurer is an official sourcebook with official rules that are supported and clarified by official faqs and erratas. Unearthed Arcana is a collection of unofficial rules that are not and will not be supported by official faqs or erratas. The only way...

In response to It depends on the dynamic of the group. If it was conducive to a fun environment, then all things being equal I probably would. Most of the time I take a "if you say it in character, everybody present can hear it" frame of mind though.

Thank you. I don't know it it needs editing, but my insomnia won't let go without it so I'll edit it to.. There... maybe now I can frickin sleep. ;)

From WotC. Sneak attack trumps Sudden Strike since for all purposes Sudden Strike is merely an inferior version of Sneak attack. Skirmish is mildly different since it applies to a completely seperate set of circumstances than either of them, but sneak attack still trumps it. So if your 10th...

Players who enjoy strong silent type characters in my games get RP bonuses from journals and notes describing internal monologues. That way they get to be terse all they want and not get gyped when bonus XP time roles around. Bonus XP can take the form of roleplaying, journal writing or...

Saving throws are specifically intended to be calculated at a different rate than normal. WotC would have mentioned this in the errata, but since UA is nothing but optional/nonstandard houserules anyway, they decided that time spent on an errata for it would be better spent elsewhere. It kinda...

You don't need to refactor anything at all. You go to page 20 of the PHB and say "Okay, I have a level of Good BAB, plus one there. Hey, a level of good Fort! +2! And a third level of good Will, with a bonus next time." This is the way that is a consensus at the Unearthed Arcana forum and...

I personally keep to the idea that dragons still have certain impulses based on species. Good reds are still pretty damn egotistical and overconfident, whites tend to be more savage and primal in thought even if they want to help more than harm. Beware the evil Brass dragon who may torture you...

Keeping with the orcs as the default conversation... As far as I know there are three main orc cultures. The Jhorash'tar in the mountains of the Mror holds who are in the traditional territory conflict with the dwarves. The Ghaash'kala who live on the boarders of the Demon Wastes and worship...

Thanee is right. It took me a bit to work through the language used to describe it, but that is absolutely the way to go. Otherwise you get the old example of somebody taking... ftr/sor +1 from fighter, +0 from sorcerer wiz/sor +0 from wizard, +1 from sorcerer wiz/sor +1 from wiz...

Somewhere between 1,200 GP and 1,500 GP as discussed yesterday upthread. I'd range it from 800-2,000 depending on model, personally.

The alignment thing isn't limited to outsiders. Dragons are listed as "always" critters so you can pretty much know that if it isn't all glittery and shiney it is an evil creature. Sphinxes are also victims of alignment profiling. Even though orcs are merely "often" chaotic evil the way they...
