After much thought and some frantic, last minute character creation ( I finally decided on it an hour before game was set to begin) I decided on playing a gnome Beguiler from the Player's Handbook 2. I've always wanted to try to play a caster focused on mind control and misdirection, and since...

This came up last week as we were gaming. Many of the druids spells are plant based or designed to manipulate plant life; in fact, many of a druids special abilities seem dependent on plants and/or woodland areas. With that in mind, how useful are druids in desert settings, or for that matter...

My character, a cleric/binder, died last session. That's all fine and good, but now I have no clue what to play. All of the bases are covered; we have two tanks, a healer, trapfinder, and mage. I guess I'm looking for inspiration; game is on sunday, and I still have nothing to play. I haven't...

If it reveals the true character of elves, then I support this. Elves are monsters, everyone of them.

That one was funny, but they are incorrect about one fact: elves are most certainly not awesome. Not at all.

The stat distribution is pretty much what I suggested to him; he has yet to pick a race, so there could be some minor changes. At this point, he isn't sure which class he will focus on; he wanted some different view points on the subject before deciding if the multiclass is even possible to be...

I'm actually posting this for a friend of mine who I game with. He is interested in playing multiclassed monk/paladin. We are using the Pathfinder RPG, but our DM is open to 3.5 materials on a case by case basis (with the exception of Tome of Battle and Psionics). Anywho, my friend would like...

Specifically the craft: alchemy skill. I have it in my mind to make a dedicated alchemist; unfortunately, saving the world from giant greasy monsters is time consuming, and the crafting rules are both cumbersome and slow to produce results. This makes sense for certain items, but I don't feel I...

While technically not core, the Mind's Eye articles were created by WotC and all the stuff was official. They created a prestige class that is exactly what you are asking for: The Sangehirn. The Mind's Eye: Sangehirn Prestige Class (v.3.5) I hope that helps. :)

It still applies. This is just build up toward the funny. :)

I know what you mean. I'm a black gamer as well, and I usually tend to make my (human) characters black, much to the amusement of my DM.

The Big Six are the six major magic item types that are required as you level. The game ( or adventure modules, at least) expect you to constantly upgrade them: Magic weapons, magic armor/shield, stat boosting items, cloak of resistance, ring of protection, and amulet of natural armor. These...

In that case, I guess I'll just suck and die. Lame.

I'm looking for advice/tips on replicating the Big Six using spells and/or feats. I have issues with the over-reliance and insane drop rate of these items (our DM favors modules, so most magic items come in the form of weapons, armor, stat boosters, AC buffs, and cloaks of resistance). I would...

Maybe it's the lack of sleep, but I don't get it.

Normally, I'd be inclined to agree, except that according to my friend, the rune domain is "the most powerfully awesome domain in the PH." His words, not mine.

Wow, that's really fascinating, Galloglaich. It's a shame that padded/cloth armor only provides a +1 AC bonus. I am curious about something. Judging from the Linothorax Project, this stuff was pretty effective at blocking sword cuts and arrows at point blank range. What ultimately lead up to...

A buddy of mine absolutely loves the Rune domain. I'm not sure what he sees in it, to be honest. The bonus feat is great; the rest of it doesn't speak to me. Blasting Rune feels random to me; the creature has to step in the square to be affected, but unless you are in a tight area, like a small...

I agree with this. I would like to think that magic, as it exists in a campaign world, isn't so cut and dry; each wizard uses different methods to produce his magic. A cleric of the sun god would use different rites than a cleric of the god of chocolate pudding to heal someone. The results are...

Agreed. The naming conventions have long been a source of vexation in our group. We finally regressed back to the previous titles (Shadow plane, Astral plane, etc).
