    New Prestige Class: Yellow-Bellied Coward

    My only problem with the BAB requirement is that it makes it seems a bit strange for a cowardly PrC. Couldn't a fighter 4/rogue 1 could get access to the PrC before a rogue 5? I can understand that. I just assumed it would take a multi-class level of rogue or bard to make much use of the PrC...

    2006 WotC D&D Product Survivor - Round 15

    Funny thing is...these are the only four d20 books I bought last year...and they've all survived to the end. I can part with Complete Mage, however. Sorry, warlocks.

    New Prestige Class: Yellow-Bellied Coward

    I made a couple few lot of adjustments to make this PrC fit my swashbuckling campaign: *Alignment requirement changed to: Any nonlawful (to allow neutral evil cowards, c'mon!) *Dropped BAB to +3 (To allow rogues to get the PrC before 6th level) *Increased Escape Artist skill requirement to 8...

    New Prestige Class: Yellow-Bellied Coward

    Holy crap, I love it! This is perfect for an NPC of mine who has managed to outsurvive nearly everyone simply by not being in the wrong place at the wrong time. So far, he's only a Rogue 6, so he's just shy of qualifying, but if he gains any levels this is where they're going to go! I won't be...

    City Survivor - round 7!

    Sigil, I have no use for your yoni and/or lingam. How explicit must one city be?!

    Geisha, the (missing) Asian Bard

    Feel free to change and/or use the Yaezaki Okiya affiliation in any way you please, smootrk. Forgive my lack of knowledge regarding html/code. Please check out the notes at the end. Also, I'd appreciate any suggestions or comments. :)

    Anybody live in Virginia?

    And so is 276, but I'm nowhere near Langley. ;)

    Geisha, the (missing) Asian Bard

    I prefer Affiliations (PHBII) to Organizations (Complete Adventurer) simply because they provide means to directly connect crunch and fluff. That said... Yaezaki Okiya Symbol: The symbol of the Yaezaki Okiya is a pink double blossom of the peach tree. Background, Goals, and Dreams: The...

    I'm scared. :eek:

    City Survivor - Round 6!

    Agreed! They're more like collected stories and you're really missing out. Fritz Leiber is right up there with Robert E. Howard in my opinion. Fun stuff. Sigil's getting my vote after Sharn. I'm not keen on extraplanar cities. I'm also not keen on doughnut-shaped cities that just happen to be...

    DMG2 & PHB2 - are they worth it!

    Agreed. I'd recommend Seas of Blood: Fantasy on the High Seas (Mongoose), Broadsides! (Living Imagination), or Seafarer's Handbook (Fantasy Flight). Each of these offers a version of naval combat and all handle the issue more thoroughly than Stormwrack (which is still a good book, it just isn't...

    Pathfinder 1E Who should nourish the others at Paizo?

    Wil Wheaton I know he isn't an option. That's why I'm not voting. Nonetheless... Wil Wheaton

    Geisha, the (missing) Asian Bard

    It's still The Sleeping Dictionary here in the States. And...there is a body double for Miss Alba. :o

    Geisha, the (missing) Asian Bard

    I'm much better at coming up with concepts than I am at putting them into a workable form. That said, I was just reading about poi and thought it would make an interesting and exotic prestige class for your campaign. It's essentially a Maori term for juggling (or twirling) balls on ropes, but...

    2006 WotC D&D Product Survivor - Round 9 (Final 10)

    Yes, and I can't get rid of it. Expedition to Castle Ravenloft is basically a massive updated adventure with a handful of crunch thrown in for flavor and texture. (Kind of like croutons.) I'll be voting this one off eventually (as I generally have no use for adventures), but for now it's The...

    Conan RPG - What do I need?

    Howard's style is much more episodic and cinematic than Tolkien's. Tolkien's work unfolds slowly (like an Ent :p), while Howard's leaps into the middle of things (like, um...Conan). Tokien chronicles and recounts, Howard spins a yarn. If both were bards I'd say Tolkien would follow Oghma (FR)...

    Conan RPG - What do I need?

    Me, too! Except I'm only on the second Conan volume, The Conquering Sword of Conan. (Thank you Ballantine Books/DelRey!) Solomon Kane, Bran Mak Morn and Kull are also sitting on the shelf just waiting for me. (Thank you, SFBC!) I'm probably going to draw the line there, but I'm definitely...

    Geisha, the (missing) Asian Bard

    I hate to admit it, but the first thing that came to mind when I read about the janggay dancers was Lady Deathstrike as a geisha. Needless to say...it scared me.

    What are the best classes to start a new player on?

    I found this out from experience. In an attempt not to limit a new player, thinking that might discourage them, I let the girlfriend of a friend play a 3.5e Bard in her very first D&D game. She was an artist in real-life and so this class appealed to her, but she was quickly overwhelmed by it...
