Monk.

Succubi - can serve as an ambassador (polymorph + super-high Cha), as a patroller (detect thoughts, detect good, and use greater teleport at will), as a catcher (using Charm Monster & Suggestion to bring the master or mistress new toys), might be able to bring in some serious muscle in the form...

Your druid would've been better served by a brown bear form -- higher Str, while still being just as big as a large constrictor. And JG has it, basically -- you can't turn into an advanced specimen by the rules, but it'd make a neat house rule.

A wizard that actually manages to lose to a sorcerer is a disgrace to wizardry in general.

It'd actually be in character for the tannaruk to try to take the heads of the other PCs. That's just one of the drawbacks of being in an evil party.

Pirates get funky diseases like scurvy all the time. That's no fun. As for wizard vs. sorcerer -- wizard. A wizard can focus heavily in one area but still do other stuff just fine. A sorcerer that focuses in any area other than blowing things up or mind control will probably be useless in...

Wouldn't wound points mean that a dragon would die after like 2 crits, since it'd still have its hundreds of VP but only 30 or so WP? Also, any assassin that is trying to coup de grace with a dagger is almost certainly adding sneak damage to the hit. DC 10 + 2d4+4 doesn't sound terribly...

The deceased decides whether or not to come back.. With the assistance of a big, sentient creature, you could off something like a subject being swallowed, and then being regurgitated after spending half a minute or so in the critter's gizzard. The tricky part here would be not killing the...

Considering how horribly unwieldly and generally pointless psionic combat was, that's just as well.

The normal rate for my group is 1 serious battle a session.

Dwarves combine honor, violence, and alcohol into a nice, compact package. At heart, every dwarf is Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

Characters in adventure novels only get hurt when it's dramatically appropriate. Characters in D&D get hurt all the damn time, and not having a convenient way to deal with it would be bloody annoying.

Heh. No reason why the squire's liege couldn't ride on the mount; the squire would just need to tell the mount to accept the liege's orders. When the squire finally gets knighted, then it'll be okay for her to use her horsey.

The 3.0E area on Sunburst was 10 ft. radius/level (so 150 ft. radius as soon as you can get the spell). My archmage with mastery of shaping loved that spell. Celestial elephants to trample large chunks of the horde, fire elementals to burn through it, air elementals to vacuum it up...

I had replied to Smetzger's post yesterday, but the board ate it :\ The difference between the unbuffed monk and the buffed monk is rather impressive.. I wouldn't expect a person with only 75 HP to last even a single round on the front line at L13.. But after the buffs are factored in, that...

It's practically impossible to normally hide from dragons in the first place, between Blindsense and their substantial skill checks (a young adult dragon could easily have a +20 on spot and listen checks, without any magic to bolster the checks). The spell exists pretty much because of the...

Point-buy. 28, 32, 37, etc. I don't mind high stats, but I dislike the dice-rolling method.

We always stick Big T somewhere in the campaign world. We've also been giving him wings for the past few campaigns. We've never actually gotten around to fighting the thing, though.

Manners CPXB, manners. Calling Saev names when he's completely right doesn't help you at all. Not rushing into melee with creatures 2 to 3 times bigger than you (if not more) is just common sense. Fighters, Barbarians, and Druids that have already wildshaped into something just as big can get...

Craft Wand, both for utility spells and for combat spells. 50 shots for 5d6 area damage (or 4d4+4 single target damage) comes out to a lot of damage over the course of several battles. Extend spell is also nice, but you need a better caster level to put it to proper use.
