    Chaos vs Order

    A quick question: If you have an option to pick only one of these, which one would you pick: Aura of Chaos: Stance—Reroll and add maximum damage dice. Aura of Perfect Order: Stance—Treat d20 result as 11. Source: Bo9S, lvl 6 devoted spirit stances. Background: Related to a shadow phoenix build...

    A few questions about Rules

    Ranger has many options opened to her. She already has an animal companion, although very weak (half druid level). Getting the wild cohort would net her another companion at druid-3 level. Taking the bond feat would make those two lvl 10 and lvl 20 respectively (at lvl 20, ofc), while without...

    A few questions about Rules

    Be that as it may, feats are very valuable to burn two just for that. If the character in question wants to have said cohort, fine. That is one feat. Burning another for those 3 lvls benefit isn't all that shiny. That feat can be used for other, more beneficial things out there.

    Hello All

    Welcome aboard! I am quite new here too. Glad to see that 1e and 2e are not forgotten. And, gratz on that bargain for 3.5 books galore ^^

    Improved familar

    Yeah. I too have some questions regarding that. The handbook stops @ CL 7. What about later levels? Also, people are talking about familiars as mounts. Is there any restriction (aside from DM ruling) as to what constitutes a viable familiar? Could I just take succubus familiar? I mean it isn't...

    New Character Help

    Try Duskblade from PHB2. It is really fun. I am to play this guy (or in my case gal XD) today afternoon. Keep in mind that it is well written class... almost too darn well written. Meaning that multiclassing hurts it and feats are almost all preset, at least until level 13. It falls into your...

    A few questions about Rules

    1. Answered. 2. Dragons and many other creatures have racial HD, which act like class levels regarding feats. 3. One can take any feat he meets the prerequisites for, even if he/she cannot use it or cannot use it yet. 4. Emphasis mine. Seems to me that by RAW animal cohort and animal companion...

    Sweet Cheezus

    There are two ways to look at how it works (although I agree with your interpretation); one is it still requires fort save, other that it blasts anyway if attack lands and deals damage, independently of save. In any case, since the spell lasts 1hour/lvl, it is a cast&forget thing. And, a...

    Sweet Cheezus

    They should be, since Minor Shapechange (Su), although working similar to Disguise Self (Sp) is polymorph effect. Yeah, he will allow it as is, since he is pretty much RAW oriented DM. In any case, I will not abuse it (I have some concience). But, as I said, I haven't decided yet on those two...

    Sweet Cheezus

    I know INT plays little role for DB spell-wise. The intention was to get those precious skill points to fuel knowledge skills/devotion (2+INT suxx). I am still thinking on dropping concentration, but I do agree with CON being very important. On Arcane disciple, though - my thoughts exactly. 1...

    Video Game Character Conversion Thread.

    1. Patrick Galloway from Clive Barker's Undying. Basically pistol wielding magic user with psy-crystal like stone thingy that hightens (and otherwise enhances) his spellcasting. Dispell, Ectoplasm (force projectile), limited flight, scrye (sort of true-seeing combined with foresight), haste...

    Sweet Cheezus

    I am not sure if I am gonna get all five levels. The 5th level does not progress BAB nor saves. All it gives is metamorphic spell (space) thingy. That, actually, is one of my questions: worth taking that 5th level? I was thinking something along the line of wraithstrike and shivering touch...

    Sweet Cheezus

    IT WORKED!! LOL! So, he saw what cheese can do, and gave up on druid altogether, let alone planar shepherd. So, we are going to play a normal game after all. Now I am thinking of playing changeling duskblade with recaster to gain 2 spells. Is it okay? I don't want to break the game the way the...

    D&D 3.x Best Wizard Spells for a Paladin 3.5

    He carries a spellbook, so it is not much of a problem. All he needs to do is buy a scroll once, scribe it in his spellbook, and PRESTO! he knows the spell for good.

    D&D 3.x Best Wizard Spells for a Paladin 3.5

    Alter self should be there as well, as Dandu said. Especially if you are outsider (Neraph, Aasimar...) or Dragon. Comes much earlier than Polymorph, but takes up a precious 2nd lvl spell slot which should primarily used for wraithstrikes. I would also add Expeditious retreat (speed boost) which...

    Psionic Races/Template?

    I myself don't like psi rules (or any alternate rules). But psi is powerful, no doubting that. Psion is, by far the strongest psi class, but probably the hardest to master. I am guessing this would be your first psi character. If that is true, my advice is to go with gishy psi classes. If you...

    Neat, Add-On, d20 Rules???

    Active defense sounds okay in all but one thing - more rolls. The AC as is would be considered take10 on that rule. I tried it myself in a few of my games with different groups. Some of them loved it, some of them thought it a new nuisance. So, perhaps it would be a good idea to give your group...
