That would probably be Magic in the Shadows (Awakenings is the 2e precursor). Both mainly by Steven Kenson. I dimly remember the Shaman of the First Church of Elvis for Shadowrun, who dressed up like Elvis and cast magic in the name of the King. Though it was probably in a netbook. The SR way...

Is this from on of the Fiendiesh Codex books?

The Big Model - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia has a lot of links though some don't work. Thsi google search returns the blog entries titled "Introduction to Forge Theory" by Ben Lehman. As he notes in the first installment the History resides in the Forge forums. Of course there are also...

If you check out the links section on the Hyborian Age site you should be pretty much set. Links to the Hyborian Age

NG's Ancient Kingdoms: Mesopotamia sourcebook is said to be very Conanesque and good. The writer goes by the handle thulsa on the NG forums...

PF has done away with that particular quirk/problem of 3E. You get 1xskill points at 1st level, max rank equals your level (and not +3). So which class you start with is unimportant for skills. A Rog1/Ftr1 has the same skills as a Ftr1/Rog1.

For 3.5 I'd say "some social ability + swordplay & tricks" (read swashbuckling) = Swashbuckler from Complete Warrior. You have 4 skill points per level, full BAB, Weapon Finesse, Bluff, Diplomacy & Sense Motive as class skills. Feats to look for: combat expertise, improved disarm. He's lacking...

Has anyone got a backup of that site ?

Yep Carl Sargent vanished quite mysteriously... ;-) Sargent holds a PhD in psychology (or experimental parapsychology), and some of his experiments are hotly debated. See: Carl Sargent - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Where's Carl Sargent? (an interesting 13 page thread on gleemax which...

Do you by any chance run an Eberron campaign? But even if not the following links will give you some inspiration for sure: My players want to rob a House Kundarak bank... Rich and Jezz' Eberron Wiki / House Kundarak Excellent gleemax post of an example (low level) Kundarak Banking...

ELH contained a small adventure involving the City of Brass iirc. If you want epic NPCs, monsters, deity statblocks, revised deity rules, an integration of divine and epic rules and tons of expertise on running epic and epic world building, I suggest you check out the Dicefreaks boards. They...

There's also the City State of the Invincible Overlord by Necromancer Games. For 2E check out the City of Greyhawk boxed set. Parts of it were converted to 3E in Living Greyhawk Journal and you can get the excellent new map from Maldin's site, but the 2E Boxed set has all the details.

Try the 2E Arms & Equipment Guide and the 2E Complete Fighters Handbook. (Here's a very useful link for 2E: Core rules) There's probably more in Combat & Tactics. (which is considered 2.5E)

That would be "Old Man Katan and the Incredible Edible Dancing Mushroom Band" from Dungeon #41. Description: Old Man Katan is plagued by campestris and a giant crocodile nemesis. The OP probably meant "Wedding Day" from issue #59 by Paul Culotta. Description: The jealous rogue Elmo Bunster...

That's how it was in 2E and this resulted in the highly armoured foe that is always critted when hit. That's the reason they invented the confirmation roll. In 2.5E Combat & Tactics tackles this by saying you're only critted when the roll is a crit and hits by a margin of 5. So effectively...

Crystal Keep d20 has an index of many 3.5 PrCs. As for feats check out this excellent site. There are the feats Enduring Life and Lasting Life both from Libris Mortis Heroes of Horror has Font of Life which is better imo. I believe there's a spell that gives you DR vs negative energy.

Ftr4/Brb1/Outcast Champion looks fun imho and fits the build of the PC. In fact i think this is the only full-BAB PrC that this PC can qualify for at level5 without rebuilding. So excellent advice there. Also it is 5-level PrC, which i generally like. How about retraining some alternate class...

If you want to run a small adventure for him Thievery 101: Joining the Watchers and Thievery 101: The Periapt of Famidon are linked solo modules for a beginning Rogue. The free pdf A Thief Among Us is included in the second adventure above. I agree that for a Rogue flanking tactics and creative...

Check out Kain Darkwinds Berserk d20 on Dicefreaks. Apparently Guts has a rage-like feature, so in 3.5 he'd have some Barbarian levels at least.

You're obviously missing a skill-monkey and face then. Plus utility and support. Is the newbie up to the roleplaying part? If he is still shy abuot it, bard is probably the wrong class, as it depends much on creativity and roleplaying. My advice: Don't worry too much about optimization and go...
