So, there's a lot of cool and neat stuff about 3.5 but my gaming group doesn't want to change completly over because they'd have to learn everything again, look up every spell again , etc.... Its really not an issue of whether or not 3.5 is better or worse but 3.0 is just more convenient...

Thanks for your reply. Where is this referenced? (What book?)

My PCs went to Thay! I wasn’t expecting this! Help! Last session my players cleaned out an underground lair in the High Forest serving as the HQ for a group of Red Wizard slavers. The Red Wizard operation worked like this – they captured orcs, centaur, ogres, giants, goblins and even more...

In all fairness (and in our tireless pursuit of objectivity) The EK is going to really be awesome in certain situations. From time to time he will outshine his fighter and wizard companions. Which times will depened on his spell, feat and magic item selection. But that's okay because the...

Why should any of us aim at objectivity? We aren't journalists, we're roleplayers. So, I like the fighter/mage concept. That doesn't mean that I'm incapable of making an assessment on whether or not the EK is balanced. I found the fighter/wizard too powerful in 2ED compared with the other...

gracias!

Could someone post the exact wording of the Arcane Strike Feat? :)

Psion, that quote was drnuncheon, not me. Sure, but the HD is a d6 and feats are a total of 1 fighter feat. Plus the non-spellcasting level comes first. That's very important becuase it immediately sets the EK 2 levels behind his spellcasting friends. The druid, the wizard, the cleric...

I think it will totally balance out in play. A 13th level wizard has limited wish. A 13th level EK doesn't. That's a pretty big power break. The wizard probably has a higher Int than the EK (especially if you're using point buy) so his DCs will be higher. The wizard has sunk ALL of his...

drnuncheon - I couldn't have said it better. Actually, I tried and DIDN'T say it better.

So, here's a EK I made yesterday. I think any of us could build a "better" or at least equal character with a strait fighter or wizard using the same conditions. 10th level 50,000 gp 32 point buy Eldritch Knight Agulo Male Dwarf Fighter 1/Transmuter 5/Eldritch Knight 4 S 16 [20] D 10...

An optimal EK is a whole level of spells behind his wizard buddy at all times. The strait wizard gets limited wish two levels before the EK does. He gets wish two levels before the EK does. The true fighter is a much better combatant. If I want to play a EK - how does that make me a munchkin?

Well, I go away and look what happens to my nice thread. Okay, point #1 - the Spellsword. I like the "flavor" of the spellsword but in my game a player played one and just wasn't effective. His BAB was waaaay too low and he couldn't hit anything without True Strike. And b/c he got 1 caster...

I went to a small, 4 year, academically intensive college. I gamed once a week with my good buds for the first two years, except for finals week, when all bets were off. I could have gamed more if I wanted to. I could have gamed the last two years but chose not to because I was very involved...

That's funny -I came up with glaive on my own as well. 10th level 50,000 gp 32 point buy Eldritch Knight Agulo Male Dwarf Fighter 1/Transmuter 5/Eldritch Knight 4 S 16 [20] D 10 [12] C 16 [18] I 16 W 14 Ch 8 HP: 72 AC: 15 (touch 11, FF 14) add +4 shield bonus for shield spell. Add +1...

So I'm now officially okay with 3.5 because it made the wizard/fighter a cool choice again. In 2ED it was a bit abusive and in 3.0 it was hard to create an effective one but with the Eldritch Knight I can now play my favorite flavor of class once more. I've always had a soft spot for those who...

So I loved Monte Cook's Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil. Ten levels of adventure all mapped out for little ole me. As DM, I only did as much as a I wanted. Are there any other mods out there like this one? I'm looking for big - really big. 8 levels of play minimum.

Well, it went well. What I feared most happened: The PC's assualted different points at once. At one point, I had PC's in 5 different areas and in different combats. In fact, the "adventure" ended up being one long combat - but it was a very cool, long combat. Fortuantely I had a co-DM. He...

Ah! I'm so pleased that Inky lives to fight abother day. 3 feet of 100% divine tomfoolery.

I think you're right R-Cohort. I figure these mostly decayed skeletons in armor don't look any different from actual dead bodies in armor so I need some sort of check for the PCs to make. If D&D had a "sixth sense" check this would be the situation for that, but there isn't one. I suppose...
