    Archer Bard build help please

    Dandu: I would NEVER have come across Knowledge Devotion by myself. Thanks! So, if I interpret your suggestions correctly: 1. Song of the Heart, Words of Creation, Inspirational Boost to improve bardic music effect(s) 2. Knowledge Devotion, Collector of Stories, Improvisation to boost...

    Archer Bard build help please

    Fallen paladins

    I think some of you are missing the point. The character in question STARTED play as a fallen paladin (probably because he or the DM thought it was cool) Yes, you can postpone taking a level. However, once you gain enough XP to gain TWO levels, excess XP would be lost. (I think. You can't...

    What Races Do You Allow?

    I play and DM in several campaigns. One is restricted to Humans, being an Earth setting (historical with some magic) One is an Eberron setting, and is pretty loose on allowed races (we have (had) a goblin, changeling, warforged, Kalashtar, Shifter, Drow, and I'm playing a Dragonwrought Kobold...

    Even if the abovementioned weren't true: you cannot power attack with a light weapon.

    Feat to improve "SPELLS PER DAY"

    I know of only two places outside of PrC's that give this kind of caster boost: 1. Loredrake archetype from Draconomicon. comes at the cost of racial hd(d12->d10), and only accessible by (true) dragons. 2. Greater Draconic Ritual from the Races of the Dragon Webenhancement. Comes at the cost...

    Old Timey Pronunciation

    Taco (as in 'Taco Bell') Which probably is caused by being Dutch, otherwise it would probably be option 1.

    Skill bonus items

    Since Masterwork Tools already give a +2 bonus, whould that bonus be added to the magic bonus you add? In other words, would a workbench that gives a +2 competence bonus to certain craft checks be the same price as a set of Crafting tools that give a +4 competence bonus? Or, more precise...

    Able Learner

    The one skill of the paragon that allways is a class skill will allow you to spend one skillpoint per rank, regardless of your class, up to lvl+3. All other skills that have been a class skill at one time can be bought up to lvl+3 as well, but cost two skillpoints per rank when bought with a...

    [Domain] feats

    Since the section in complete champion has a specific subsection dealing with the situation when you do happen to have Domains as a Cleric does, I would say you can get access to those feats even without a domain. Of course, since a Wizard does not have Turn or Rebuke undead, you won't be able...

    Bard without spellcasting

    I can't believe I forgot about that one. Especially since I'm playing a character with two levels of Master Crafter myself...... Thanx!

    Bard without spellcasting

    regarding Tier: Since there probably won't be other casting classes, I think it's a safe bet all other classes will be at or around the same Tier. I've provided a link to the Tier system for classes for his reference. Regarding Estimated Tier of 'linked' class: are you referring to the athas...

    Bard without spellcasting

    A friend of mine is about to start a new campaign, in which the PC can't take Arcane casting classes. One of the players wants to play a Bard anyway, and now he's looking for a Bard variant that doesn't have spellcasting. I already suggested the Divine Bard variant from Unearthed Arcana, and...

    +X Items - Why so bad for the game?

    I don't think +X Items are bad for the game. I DO think the fact the game balance assumes the use of +X Items is bad for the game. A fighter shouldn't have to rely on having a +X weapon to be able to hit the level-appropriate opponent, nor should he have to rely on having a +X armor to keep...

    Class Help

    If you are serious about the rogue/monk, I suggest you take 1 level of Monk, ditch the TWF (since you now have FoB), and take Ascetic Rogue from Complete Adventurer instead. Get a high Wis score to up your AC. Do NOT take additional levels in Monk (the additional bonusses do not compare with the...

    Ranger TWF and Oversized Two Weapon Fighting

    It's probably been asked before, but I can't find it: If I have a Ranger with the TWF combat style, can I pick up Oversized Two Weapon Fighting? (as a 'normal' feat) (I would think so, but I'm checking just to make sure) The real question: If so, would the benefits from Oversized Two Weapon...

    Learning new spells

    I have several house rules in place for wizards that you might want to consider using. First, my game world is very low in magic, so no magic shops. Also, I dropped the 'automatic' spells the wizard gets at each level. Before I get flamed, the wizard gets some things in return. Some of these...

    Need shopping advice

    I could but: 1. Have you looked at the Crafting Rules? I have not intention of spending several years game time crafting (nor does my DM have the intention of including that much down-time) 2. I'm afraid places where mithral is rare will also be places where they won't be able to afford it. I...
