Wow. Talen actually got a good line. :) And I'm with the HugeOgre -- not that it's ever healthy to disagree with an Ogre of any size -- that this is a BRUTAL module. I definitely wouldn't want to run it unless I was going for a brutal character shredder. I haven't read the actual module...

I would say eamon is on the right path here. That would give you a nasty combatant -- especially since the attacks of a Shapeshift Druid pick up enhancement bonuses to attack and damage. I would recommend considering a couple of extra "form" feats for the PHB2 shapeshift, though. A feat...

Shadeydm covered part of this, but let me speak to the rest of it... Vaelastraz is the most frantic fight that most WOW players will ever see. Vael is "the corrupted" because he's been overcome by another's evil magic. He even starts the fight at 30% of max life because he's been fighting the...

I'd be up for this game if there is still space... It looks like it might be full now, though. If so, put me down as an alternate. :)

Balance is a class skill for Beguilers. Pick up a pair of stilts, a long cloak, and you're good to go as just about any medium-size race. The Disguise skill plus a quick Disguise Self and anything in the PHB is fair game... :) I played a Gnome Beguiler for a while, randomly inventing new...

I would really recommend against it. Think about clerics -- they can easily out fight a warrior-type... *IF* they have time to buff themselves up. A high-level cleric under your system will only need one (two at the maximum) rounds to turn himself into a killing machine. Let's see...

You'd think, after so many encounters with the dead, someone would go to the trouble to find/create a Ghost-Touch weapon. Heh. Even if that just means borrowing Varo's dagger... Still, it's nice to see an arcanist survive for at least a couple of 'sessions'. ;)

So... for someone that doesn't have the module (if the Ravagers are from that source), what is the deal with finally killing them? Is the dagger special, or do they just have some kind of "Can only be finished with xx special material"? Either way, that was a brutal fight. Dar is *so* my...

I liked the older version of the Fatespinner from 3.0E. I can't comment on balance -- I never had the opportunity to play one -- but at least you could do more than just add spin in one go. Lowering the DC on one spell to raise it on others? That makes a lot of sense to me...

I know, I know... but hope springs eternal anyway.

Yeah, I'm with Drowbane on that one. Clerics of the Father have been about as useful this time around as Jenya's kin were in the last storyhour -- great snacks for distracting big foes. Not much more. Still, I'm just stoked to see an arcanist in the party. :)

Heh. Thanks, LB. Always nice to see there's at least one competent arcanist in the world... and still an elf, wandering around somewhere. :)

...Unless they're going for the Ultimate Magus PrC from Complete Mage. The one that *requires* that they have both sorcerer and wizard casting levels. This feat is tailor-made for a character heading for that class. It's slightly better balanced, though it adds just as much in that form to a...

I have to say that I really enjoyed it and saw it as a fitting conclusion to the series. I liked the bodycount -- there were several major conflicts throughout the storyline and it would have felt really odd not to see named characters getting dropped. I was kind of amazed at how many threads...

I disagree. I live in the Midwest -- during the summers, there are tornadoes and strong thunderstorms. If you live on the west coast, you have earthquakes. If you live in the south, you get scorching summers and flash floods. Florida and much of the east coast has hurricanes. The northeast...

I'd agree in general, but do you really think his suggestion about handling the goddess of secrets, darkness, and the night like the followers of the ruinous powers is that far out into left field? Sure it wouldn't make much sense if we were even discussing someone like the Zhentarim, but...

It's from Arcana Evolved by Monte Cook. It's a variant PHB with entirely different races, classes, and magic system. I'd look very carefully before I started using the feats and magic in a regular 3.5 game -- they're internally balanced and may not play well with others. (Some people have...

Not quite. In AE, you have two ways to get a Counterspell. 1) Have a Dispel Magic prepared, ready an action to counterspell, and then win the opposed caster power check. This burns up the slot for a Dispel Magic, just like in 3.5 D&D. 2) Have the "Brandish Magical Might" feat. If you have...

Since you can use them for attacks, there is no reason that a person couldn't take Focus and Specialization in their attacks. If I had to make a recommendation, though... Get weapon focus and specialization in your main weapon -- either bludgeoning or piercing. Then take Melee Weapon...

Trip monkeys are a lot of fun in games where you face a lot of humanoids of your own size. The problem is when you face... well, anything else. Sure, you're vicious against two-legged medium (or smaller) creatures, but everything else will have a hearty laugh when you try. Don't get me wrong...
