It is rather hard for good to come out of chaos and entrophy, though.

Aside from the Shoulder Pauldron of Whup-Ass, items never seem to get named in the games I'm in.

The Eagles couldn't do that because Sauron would almost certainly notice THE GIANT EAGLES flying across his realm and smite the hell out of them by proxy. I really doubt that a big bird can stand up to a Naz'Gul. As for the topic at hand: I don't even worry about S. o. D. This is a game, not...

Puppies are trainable. Slaad probably aren't. Wolverine pups, maybe? Gray Slaad are the ones with enough of an attention span for magical research (and even item creation); they're probably the best choices as a villian that just isn't fodder. The Slaad's goals wouldn't be evil, but it would...

Whoa. The Creator hath spoken. A mythological origin in your own world? Perhaps some form of giant that was mutated by a god of disease/corruption/destruction, making a creature that's basically a walking lump of cancer, with unwholesome recuperative abilities that can hold up against...

Don't be surprised if your warrior has like half the AC that your mage was able to pull off. Sword & Board, two-weapon, mounted, two-handed weapon, and archery are the main combat styles. I guess being a reach-fighter (specializing in pole-arms or the spiked chain) gets its own...

Couldn't a dragon just Great Cleave through the whole flock?

For summoning evil creatures, it's a basis of "who cares what they want? They're demons!" As for good creatures.. I could see celestial warriors deliberately putting themselves "on call" for Gate spells (or being asked to do so by their master, in the case of divine servants). The alignment...

I assumed "replaced" when I had my kung-fu knight.

Mechanically, it's just a crossbow with a better damage die. As long as he paid the EWP feat for firearms, there shouldn't be a problem. Gond and his faithful are really big on guns. A normal one might blow up on a natural 1, but MW quality or higher should probably be safe to use.

Wizard, since he'll have 2nd level spells (and he doesn't have a 9 in the relevant stat).

I've done it before; wouldn't mind doing it again.

Most classes (including Druid) don't even exist in original D&D; using the OVA and TV series as the basis for a conversion would probably work much better than the original character sheets would. Going by the show, I'd convert Deed as either a NG druid or as a shaman with a couple of fighter...

I always figured that Mailee looking freakish had to do with her (and nearly all the other iconics) having a Cha score of 8. Elves often seems to be something/wizard in earlier editions, so I guess that's why wizard is still their favored class. Sorcerer would make perfect sense, as magic...

Divine Might is basically a mandatory feat for paladins. Eh, the 4th level thing just means you'll have Cleave before you get Divine Might.

It's weak, but it's okay for some feats to be weak. Especially since this is a pre-req feat for one of the stronger ones. Mobility never seems to come up in the games I'e been in. Most characters with Mobility already seem to have Tumble, anyways.

Blackguard, sorcerer, or wizard (or even cleric) would all be good classes for the vamp. If he REALLY outclasses them, just single-out and blood-drain a single PC in the party while the rest of the party is there -- reducing one of them to a few meager points of Con while the party uselessly...

I tend to pick my character's gender while I'm coming up with the character concept, but I generally play a male when it's my first game with a particular group. 60/40 favoring male characters, basically. Almost everyone I've gamed with has played an opposite-gender character at one point or...

Sorcerers are basically fine balance-wise; they're just boring. Their lack of skills can make meeting the pre-req for a prestige class fairly annoying, but there's no reason to actually stick with the class if you can get your spells through a prestige class. I'm guessing that they don't get...
