    Ill thought out campaign ending

    Good ideas. I only have to add that breath weapon isn't the most dangerous thing a dragon can use on you :p It is a signature ability, yes, but far from main. I would be much more scared of his sorcerer/cleric spells, for instance XD

    Ill thought out campaign ending

    Make other port away after one is killed XD That way he will only get one vulnerability. Similar thing was done in Neverwinter Nights game (based on D&D 3.0) with the end boss of OC. I just gave you a couple of ideas. Mix and match, add your own and have fun :D

    Ill thought out campaign ending

    1)Make a quest for attuning the "kryptonite" to one of his immunities, so that it temporarily removes said immunity. For example, if your group attunes it to fire, let it remove fire immunity (and maybe instill fire vulnerability) for a number of rounds. 2)Give him minions that hold one of his...

    Spont casters, stay put or evolve to prestige?

    Delaying spells IMHO, is much worse than 1 CL loss. First is irreplaceable, second can be mitigated. But, I can see why some people would disagree with me. Stat boost spells are nice to have, although, I say leave them to other casters.

    How much damage would these futuristic weapons deal if converted to D and D?

    There is also SW Saga edition which is something like 3.75 version. A lot of 3.5 stuff was implemented.

    How much damage would these futuristic weapons deal if converted to D and D?

    There is Star Wars system out there, just so you know. It is a d20 system based on D&D rules, and it has almost all those weapons covered. IIRC, Lightsabre is 2d8 19-20x2, small one is 2d6 19-20x2, double is 2d10 20x2 and counts as double weapon. I think only small one counts as light (for off...

    Spont casters, stay put or evolve to prestige?

    Is it only me, or are there other people that fail to see advantage of sandshaper bonus spells? They are all really bad, bordering awful. So I can cast a bunch more bonus spells, but I really don't want to, cos they cannot match any of my other spells known. AND I am one more effective caster...

    Is a Small Longsword type=slashing?

    I think the other one in that pic is actually a squire handing his master another sword. On related topic, if you slashed across chainmail protected torso, and didn't use enough force to cut through, you would, in fact, deal blunt damage.

    Is a Small Longsword type=slashing?

    No need to be snide. Just sayin'. You asked a question, got an answer, and the person who answered was kind enough to extrapolate. Just say thank you, and move on.

    Fair trade for a Druid?

    Yeah, that is why you would get 2xCON to AC. I didn't give clear explanation for that. Thx for explaining it Dandu. EDIT: Try reading this.

    Increasing Size as Class Ability

    Are the bonuses stated in addition to +2 STR/-2DEX one gets from becoming large (also -1AC, -4 hide, etc.)?

    Fair trade for a Druid?

    Just one thing to say on OP: Never ever EVER EVER E V E R give up your casting. For another idea, you can get monk attack progression plus natural attacks. Giving up spells for monk's unarmed strike seems fair trade to me. Or you can make barbarian/fist of the forest/bear warrior/warshaper...

    Increasing Size as Class Ability

    "Eat the flesh of Gods, become one of them." Also, you could model the class ability on Expansion (PsyWar manifestation). However, since you already have the idea how the actual growth works, and make the size increase permanent and real, the only advice I could give you is to focus on both...

    Paladin/Fighter/Anointed Knight - HELP!!!

    5th level in paladin isn't worth that much. Your mount will stay lame. If you go charging smite, you don't have enough smites - AND the smite damage stays pitiful - to make it count for something. Now, although AK is good in idea department, it is pretty bad in execution. All anointments are...

    Help for beginners

    I agree with your philosophy. I just tried to fiddle with the idea of gently pushing players from 4e to 3.xe. Obviously, you didn't like my ideas, and that is fine. I wouldn't go for them, but, since I don't know you or your player group, I felt I should throw them out there, since I know some...

    Help for beginners

    Try starting at lvl 3, 4, 5 or 6. Each of those hold some break-points (3/6 are feats, 4/5 usually give a class ability). They will have more HPs, more abilities and spells. This might help reducing the drab feel 4e players get after flashiness of, well, 4e. If nobody wants to roll a healer...

    Why do casters get BAB?

    The main problem of BAB is - it's name. Base Attack Bonus. It is not only combat oriented, if I understand this correctly. But the name suggests exactly that - that is is a martial/combat stat. IMHO, BAB stat reflects one's aim, hand-eye coordination,depth perception - anything that usually...

    Favorite Template?

    Feral is more than awesome. Even if it were LA2, it would be still totally worth taking it in many builds. Draconic from Races of the Dragon is awesome for many classes for a mesely LA1. Gives +2 to STR, CON and CHA, some natural weapons and dragonblood subtype. Forgotten realms Shade was sheer...

    Fixing the Sorc.

    I don't think sorcerer needs "fixing". But, some choices developers made are a bit strange. 2+int skills for wizard is okay, but sorcerer suffers greatly for this. 4+int would help. K(the planes) not on a list is funny, as sorcerers (in most cases) are connected to extraplanar beings, as at...
