    OotS 389 is up

    I must be missing something: How did they survive the fall out of the airship in the last comic? Two non-sensical strips in a row, both super-sized, has me burned out. I would have loved this strip were it not on the heels of the previous one. Or had it explained the falling thing.

    Help me with my Psy War/ Fighter build

    I like the idea of a half giant psychic warrior with improved grapple, expansion, and grip of iron. +5 str, +4 for powerful build, +4 for improved grapple, +4 for size increase, +4 for grip of iron) = +21 grapple check at first level!

    Did you use UA in your 1E games?

    We played the new classes, we played the new races, we played the new spells, we played the weapon spec system, and the changes to the ranger. Heck we even ran a campaign with that 9d6, 8d6, etc. character generation system. We used it all except for the "paladin is a cavalier" thing, which we...

    Help Me Build a Dwarf Psychic Warrior

    I think some of your choices are bit short-sighted. I think you will regret Psionic Body later since you already have a 16 con. The Dex 14 is good while you cannot afford heavy armor, but then is hosed by that armor (until you get up to mithral plate or some such, and by that time, you can...

    I agree, that is why my post had other reasons.

    Character Generation

    Hey, that's a pretty good attitude to have. I wish I gamed with your players.

    Character Generation

    I'm using a similar system in my game, but I allow multiple books if necessary on a case-by-case basis. The warlock can use warlock-specific stuff out of Complete Mage. As time goes by, there are more books that refer to non-core books, so I'll be revising this next campaign. I'm not sure...

    Alternate Class features, the Cleric and you.

    Of course, the cleric is going to use bracers of armor or mage armor just like a monk, so he will probably have at least a +4 armor on top of his wisdom bonus. Still, I kind of like the idea. The cleric could always purchase a monk's belt, but this class feature does it for him.

    Melee Weapon Mastery

    Good question. I was thinking yes, but obviously the "doesn't stack" argument would say no. Hmm.... That makes GWF absolute useless except for grabbing GWS later.

    Rolling for Alignments..Rain-man players have a conniption!

    Either that's a lot of hyperbole, or you have far more options in campaigns than I do. As for the original poster, I would definitely give it a try. Why not, could be fun? Then again I'm a player that likes trying out new things. Trying to make sense of a random personality trait would be...

    Melee Weapon Mastery

    Clearly, by the rules as written without any errata, it stacks. There is no real RAW argument that it shouldn't stack. But there are these factors: 1. Wizards makes many errors in their books. Some are fixed with errata, some not. 2. The introductory flavor text for the feat does not match...

    Melee Weapon Mastery

    Huh? Assume no stacking. Before Weapon Mastery: Waraxe +1 to hit/+2 damage, Longsword nada After Weapon Mastery: Waraxe +2 to hit/+2 damage, Longsword +2 to hit/+2 damage You are better with the waraxe after Weapon Mastery than before. The +2 damage has not disappeared. You still get it.

    I've turned around on Downer

    You know, I had forgotten it was in Dragon. I'm a subscriber, and I found it so incomprehensible and so lacking in entertainment, that I skip over it like an ad. I hadn't considered reading from the beginning in one swoop. I second the call for the starting issue.

    Treatment for a jerk player?

    I'm not quite sure why you are irritated, but I can help you make it worse. First, I don't understand how a 1st level half-orc can have an int of 17. After the -2 penalty, it seems that 16 would be the best. Also, most point buy methods have a lower limit of 8, so how did this guy end up with...

    Do you have a reference for this assertion?

    Useless Character combo?

    If you are willing to multi-class a primary spellcaster (and I know some people aren't), Druid/Monk is pretty dang cool. Wis is primary to both classes. Find out how your DM rules on unarmed strike in alternate forms. Can a bear stunning fist?

    Stacking w/o breaking

    I know at least one fighter that would take Iron Will a couple more times. With all those fighter feats, being able to Iron Will with your regular feats is a good thing. Not broken, but worth mentioning. I think many rogues would pile up on Improved Initiative. Rogues and wizards. I think a...

    Lions vs. 10th level party..results of low magic encounter

    How many crits did you roll? I had a game where a first-level orc barbarian scored a crit against an under-equipped 13th level wizard and did around 45 damage. The wizard lived, the orc didn't. Strange stuff can happen, especially with crits.

    Char Gen

    I'm starting a high-powered campaign, and I'm thinking of using the following rules: Choose a race before rolling for stats: Any LA +0 race, roll 5d6 keep best 3, arrange to taste. Any LA +1 race, roll 4d6 keep best 3, arrange to taste. Treated as LA +0 thereafter. Any LA +2 race, roll 3d6...
