Fighter/Rogue PrCs: Complete Warrior has the dagger classes and Tempest. Complete Adventurer has the Dread Pirate Secrets of Xen'drik has the Scorpian Wriath and some cool feats using exotic daggers and spiked chain. DMG has the Duelist, Blackgaurd, Assassin and Shadowdancer. Of course he could...

Another idea would be to set the players up as members of various dragonmarked houses that worked together during the war or in the post-war era. The houses have all kinds of political intruige and power-grabbing as they try to out manuvuer one another squash smaller stores/merchants trying to...

AO was looking for advice on what to do. Of course everything posted by him's skewed towards his POV, that's only natural. The people responding assumed good faith on either side, you as the DM or AO as the disgruntled player, and offered their ideas on how to politely remove himself from the...

I don't think a person should be able to make repeative attempts on a Heal check to find out how someone died. It should also take a significantly long time at the scene of the crime because without it, there's less context for the crime. Yes, the player could carry the body away to another...

In the light of the PHBII coming out (I have not yet read through it but have read many reviews of it), I wondered what others have done to up the powerlevel of the bard. I'm not very interested in rebuilding the class from the ground up, but instead subbing out some abilities for another or...

I think people have a tendency to choose specific races when they play, but I think it also connects deeply to the world their game takes place in. When gaming in high school, I deeply hated half-elves as the inferior race that diluted elvish blood with that of humanity, both in the home brew...

Dear fellow gamers, I am trying to find a local game story in Westchester or Rockland County in New York. I realize I could easily travel into the city by train, but its not completely worth the cost just to go in and browse the shelves, I'd like to try and find something a bit closer than...

To get the mine back up and running, allow wealthy nobles in the town to pay for shares of the mine. For each share they buy, they get a percentage of the profits and you can take your share by taxing the exports. How lawful is your group? The bard might be able to skim some of the money...

I think there might be several possilities you could follow up on. Finding another player could be a great idea, start playing for about 4 sessions on netrual ground then ask if you can play at their place. Have you looked into playing at a game store? I know in San Antonio mall there used to...

I'm with Psion on houseruling away some of the penalties. Though the new weapon guidelines are great for character larger than Small, the shorter races get a huge penalty to both strength and base weapon damage. If anyone plays a halfling or gnome in my game, they will be using daggers that do...

When I talked to the people selling it at gen con, they suggested placing it in Xen'drik or any area that was jungly and mountaineous because the city's in a dormant valcaneo.

Instead of having spells be able to cast a certain number of times per day, I've liked the idea that a staff has a fixed pool of charges that returns after the caster rests for 8 hours. Say you had a staff that can cast at caster lvl 10, fireball, scorching ray and burning hands. The lvl 1 and...

I cannot agree with your statement, that PrCs were meant only as a DM tool for creating NPCs. Yes they may have appeared first in the DMG, but they are not required to play a game. They are options that DMs can choose to have in their game to expand character options as players level. If any...

What book contains the magebane property?

The cord on the end idea could work very well, look at Ashitaka in Princess Mononoke and how he fires his bow while holding onto his sword. It has a metal loop at the end which he holds onto with the hand drawing the arrow back so he can make melee attacks after firing. I'd say a dex check, dc...

Ravenloft has a great system for firearms. TWF with two pistols the same as any other ranged weapon, they can be fired each with a -2 pen. In Ravenloft pistols do d10s, muskets do d12s of damage. The AC bonus from natural armor and suits of armor (not shields) are halved for attack rolls...

Could you please describing the halfling substuition levels and PrC?

I'm playing in a Ravenloft game and my friend took it after taking EWP: Gunpowder. With guns being his weapons of choice, being able to shoot in melee without an AoO is really nice.

A Ranger from LotR IS NOT the ranger from dnd. They are the people scattered to the winds ranging across Middle-Earth in exile. No matter how much I'd like not to say it, the characters of LotR cannot be done any justice in using the dnd system. But, back on topic. I find that if I was to run...

I find that there are two different sides of the "low" magic game that people end up splitting: whether or not to give their players magic. Those who opp out of giving players the chance to play spellcasters, imo, leave out an important reason why I play DnD. Whether or not the campaign world...
