Something that came to mind, despite it's rarity, was Rogue/Barbarian, emphasis on the Rogue. You'll have faster movement and a larger hit die, even though raging and sneaking are a pretty bad mix. I wouldn't bother raging at all though. I just like having more than one meat shield, but...

I've never really liked the wings. Certainly you can be the chosen of a deity without growing wings...? It just doesn't seem right to me. If I were a deity, my chosen ones would certainly not have wings.

True Necromancer, in Libris Mortis (the alignment requirement is nongood, not evil). You can be neutral and still turn undead and spontaneously cast cure spells, so you'll be good in everything except name. The first thing that came to mind was the Repose domain, which you're certainly aware...

The link shows that a rapier with Imp. Crit. and Keen isn't overpowered. You've said that this isn't why WotC changed the rules - you said it was to preserve fun. However, that's rather subjective. I think it would still be 'fun' to have a higher critical threat range, and I would allow the...

That's funny. And I'm not sure if it's more or less funny that barbarians get fast movement. Of course, if it's a dwarven barbarian, that puts us at normal human speed, but still...

True, but you don't need Wisdom as much as Charisma. 19 Charisma will let you cast any Favored Soul or Sorcerer spell, while Wisdom just makes FS spells harder to resist. Of course, I'd be surprised if anyone managed to play a multiclass character like that long enough that they'd even be able...

I've had some very similar ideas before. One of the more recent versions was a Ravenloft campaign where a darklord and his/her minions would redeem themselves, losing their evil abiliities in the process, but gaining experience, such that at the end of the adventure, they would be roughly as...

Don't forget that Favored Souls and Sorcerers both use Charisma for spellcasting...playing a Favored Soul/Sorcerer requires less stretching of ability scores than a Cleric/Wizard.

Rapiers are infamous for their high critical threat range. It's proving that Imp. Crit. and Keen on a rapier (the highest critical threat range possible without adding prestige classes or other bonuses to the mix) isn't broken, as some would have us believe. If you want to deal excessive...

It's okay if people make rules for 0-level characters, but for me, the 1st level of each class is 1st level. Having characters start below the normal experience for PC's could be done by making characters begin as an NPC class. After all, if there are levels before 1st, it seems that they must...

I say leave classes as they are, save for inevitable tweaking. D&D wouldn't be the same without it. Fighters and Barbarians should be different, and they are. If they were the same class, you could still have warriors with either trained or rageful backgrounds, but destroying the class system...

I'd just keep plugging, but that's kinda how I run the campaign normally. In D&D terms, I'm definately a sorcerer, not a wizard.

No one in history ever thought the world was flat. Well, maybe a few really dumb people, but it was never a common belief. After all, why else would the top of a ship be the first thing one sees when a ship appears on the horizon? Historically, people haven't been nearly as dumb as you assume.

Not RAW, but I'd allow a Sunbeam, for example, to reflect off of a mirror. I don't picture Magic Missile reflecting, however. Alternatively, you could set up a campaign world where mirrors are particularly important, because of their spell-reflecting properties...that could be different. Of...

I think Hexblade is the way to go...

I don't remember which ancient Greek guy found the circumference of the Earth within a few hundred feet, but that's pretty good for ~2500 years ago...

Yes. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I'd look at trying to redeem it, BoED-style. Otherwise, more destructive things come to mind. Instead of just smashing it with another sword, you might look to see if there's something Lord of the...

Let the players role-play their introductions. If someone wants to play a troll who particularly likes human flesh, let them meet. If the party takes the troll in, you'll have an odd, but possibly stable setup. If they kill the troll, that player needs to make a new character, probably one...

Airplane II was a nearly identical copy of the original movie, except it's in space. Not sure how that ranks. But I must say, I don't think any of these movies are bad, compared to Mulan II.

Hmm...that sounds pretty blackguard-creating, but it isn't in the RAW. I haven't really commented on the Hexblade/Blackguard combination, but I must say that I like it. I'm sure I wouldn't go with a level of Ranger, though. Either go Rogue or Cleric. Cleric would have some nice turning with...
