    Help me build a warforged

    Warforged Psion. Powers~ 1st level: Astral Construct (shaper) - create construct minions of "Summon level" 1 - 9. 2nd level: Psionic Repair Damage (shaper) - self healing in an other-wise "wizard-like" class. 4th level: Metamorphosis (egoist) - Amusingly enough, when you change form you do not...

    Clint Eastwood is Star Wars is Clint Eastwood (is Star Wars.)

    While I don't remember WEG's d6 system all that clearly anymore, I do remember thinking it mechanically inferior to a number of other RPGs around at the time. I played it with my 2e AD&D group in the mid-late 90s and found it incredibly easy to "game" the system (a flaw with every point-buy...

    The thing I miss most from AD&D is...

    A few things I miss about AD&D (here, that means 2e - didn't play all that much before that)... * My youth and thus the time to game 4-6 times a week (god I miss 3-day weekend marathon gaming!) * Whacky super-powered Psionics. Back in the day, I never got why the group's main "wizard-player"...

    Games you won't play

    D&D 3e ~ base classes that I *will* play (the won't play list was too long): barbarian (1 or 2 lvl dip at best), cleric, crusader, druid, fighter (4 lvl dip at most), incarnate, psion, rogue, swordsage, totemist warblade, warlock, wilder, wizard base classes that I haven't yet tried: anything...

    What alternate game systems are you trying out if you don't like 4e?

    I've been meaning to try out some of that 3.5e, I've heard good things. edit~ I'd played countless other fantasy RPGs back when 2e was still around. And by fantasy I mean GURPs (fantasy, illuminati, etc), Shadowrun, WoD, Robotech, Mechwarrior, CHAMPIONs, etc, etc.

    Vader would kill Red Cloak for even letting it be taken from him. Perhaps Xykon is more forgiving. :p

    My halfling druid has an 18 O-Chul! Sweet. Awesome strip... I have a feeling things are still going to go badly for O-Chul.

    Tell me of your best Mook Fights!

    I was playing a mid-high level Monk / Drunken Master in a "wuxia" campaign. I stopped by a well known tea-house to rest after days of travel and managed to somehow insult the local Kung Fu Master and ended up fighting waves of his students before calling him out to settle things. I fought in...

    New player asking for some advice/help, please. 3e vs 4e. Which one is for me?

    Talk about thin ice. I shall endeavor to not get booted from thread :p Mark me down for "go 3e". I've played some 4e, and I just don't get the appeal. Its a fine fantasy RPG, but its just not my speed.

    Sometimes, a skeleton is not just a skeleton.

    I think I understand what you're getting at, lets hope. My DMing philosophy is that Rules are for the players, for the DM they're just... "guidelines". I tend to use Mutants & Masterminds to devise "low PL" (usually monster's HD or HD -2) powers to add to otherwise normal D&D monsters. Keeps...

    Ever see a Warlock miss (I have, just not very often). Psion w/deep impact is kinda like that. You'll never miss a dragon, but rogues might give you fits (so blast 'em!). Due to the mechanics involved, you won't be able to use Deep Impact very often (full round to renew your Psi-Focus, which...

    [4e Forgotten Realms] Netheril

    Your post is confusing. If only because my FR knowledge is restricted to 1e to 3.5. So, what is it that you want the PCs to face? In 3e, an Enclave returned from shadow and started causing chaos... are they the "new netheril"?

    Rage/Frenzy

    Yes, absolutely. Unnamed bonuses and all that. Frenzied Berserker is easily one of the most potent PrCs out there for the whole rage-schtick. Its really easy to lose control and wipe out your own party though.

    I've only played totemists from 1-6, but thier BAB wasn't a problem at all. Girallon Arms is great fun. I like the concept of the totemist (or incarnate) warforged... throw out the MoI's description of why/how soulmelds work... on a 'forged it could be the magic-equivilent to nanites. Whats...

    Dampen Power is the only thing I mentioned that isn't in the SRD, would you like me to send it to your email?

    Innate magic and/or damaged power source (why he has a reserve of power that runs out) is an excellent way of explaining a psionic warforged. Warforged Psion 5 First you need to choose a Discipline. Three that I like for warforged are: Egoist (mainly for the 4th lvl power Metamorphosis, if...

    The ECS has a feat that improves your adamantine body DR by 1, so that might be better than nothing. It might be worth it to start out as Fi 1 / Bbn 1 to have access to rage. Flavor is what you make of it. Personally, I use the psionic mechanics to present "what sorcerers wished they were"...
