So this is the build that I went with - I started the build by using Jamis Buck's random NPC generator to build the stats and such. Wizard (Conjuration Specialist) 3, Cleric 3, Mystic Theurge 10 Size M (5 ft., 0 in. tall) HD 3d4+3D8+10d4+32 (hp 96) Init +9 (+5 Dex, +4 Improved Initiative) Spd...

Well, it has actually taken a while to get things to the point where the villian in question was needed. After playing around with a number of ideas, I went with a wizard/Cleric/Mystic Theurge. Its not the best build ever, but it really does improve the combat survivability of the character, I...

In many areas, the mechanical weakness of the bard has been discussed. I decided to craft a series of feats for my campaign world which had several goals: a-Primarily useful to bards/require bard levels to obtain b-Mostly useful to bards/bardic abilities c-Be better than an esisting feat d-Add...

Good rules make the DM's job easier, bad rules make the DM's job more difficult. It's not just a 3.xE operating principle, but its just good game design. My players are people who I've been playing with for 15 - 20 years. Some of them will happily take advantage of the rules when it fits the...

I dissagree. You do not balance a mechanical advantage with a role-playing disadvantage. I consider myself a fairly lienient DM, but here is quite of bit of material in the BoED that is over-powered to the point that I am forced to disallow it. Sheesh, I'm just thinking of the combinations of...

I assumed without even looking that you simply made a cold version of Hellhound, maybe I just like Winter Wolves... Eh...still not a fan of a big 'ol chart. Well, even with your version, a Corrupt Magic Missle can poison you. Yeah its slow, but its likely to have immediate effects. The con...

Lawful Good Dwarf Bard Thief Follower Of Moradin Odd alignment I can deal with that.

Good work as usual N., I have a few comments on some of this, as a method of streamlining it. So I will attempt to "Shead light, not heat" and give some suggestions that would make it easier to use this. Perhaps: "A spray of choking poisonous smoke blasts from the caster's outstretched hand...

Well, according to Peter himself, as of today:

I'm gonna take this as a challenge to tweak my buddy the troll as little as possible and end up with a monster that fills the bill of - "Some very deadly monsters can have very few hit points with some very nasty abilities". This took me about 15 minutes, and used mostly chunks of some...

You need a new monster for your game? No need for another book, you need look no further than the SRD, and copy the stats of a Troll (listed below) and tweek as necessary. Change the type, make a new description, swap out regeneration for some other ability, like poison sting (bite), or DR...

1. Corwin of Amber - Corwin had his eyes burned out by his brother and created his own universe 2. Batman - Batman is a planner, a guy with claws has no chance 3. Sherlock Holmes - Captain Marvel?!? pffft! 4. Captain James T. Kirk - Ripley is a girl, and Kirk never looses to girls 5. Robin...

Which is why I'm looking forward to it. I have been in the planning stages and initial set up for some epic level gaming that includes following up on the end of the Bastion of Broken Souls adventure, so it may well save me some work.

I have also. If the game is going to be all about combat, you might as well just play D&D minis (or whatever). But here we are trying to overcome a perception of mechanical weakness. If no dice are rolled, mechanics aren't important. Its weak. Long term its a completely crappy feat...

This is true, but the goal here is to make a bard that the party will appreciate. The bard is a multi talented character who can be fairly competent at a number of tasks. If you are trying to make a bard effective in a group, it would be best to focus your bard's abilities in areas that the...

Since before Monte put out his sorcerer, I've used an Eschew Materials and if the GP value is over 1 then the Sorcerer must spent 1/25th the gp value in XPs. This is not a choice of the Sorcerer, he may not choose to use the expensive material components, he must spend the xps.

I've actually been doing this for YEARS, not because I want to demonstrate my economic impact, but because I like to. I bring $200 in 2's to every Gen Con and Origins (and have for more than 10 years) and try to stock up on dollar coins and 50 cent pieces - its fun. If the Embassy Suites was...

Guess I've been reading too much Green Ronin Bastards and Bloodlines. Woodwose are clearly described as elf/treant cross breeds (and that doesnt even begin to go into the elf/naga crossbreeds...) The poll is a joke, dont take it too seriously. ;-)

You needed a POLL to figger this one out? Sheesh, simpering pointy eared tree shaggers are not masculine.

Yep, should've been compatible with the other books - especially the BoVD. Oh well. Easy enough to come to the DM with a concept and ask if its ok.
