    Monk and Paladin Game Balance?

    I've always felt that the monk and paladin restrictions were added to represent a character's devotion to a spiritual path more rigorous than most, and to discourage "dipping" into a class for a few choice benefits. My opinion is the the PHB information on classes are just guidelines and...

    The Mésalliance. Part 1. (Updated 4/18.)

    Lakes, perhaps? Blue for salt water, and black for fresh water.

    Campaign Time verse Levels

    There have been instances where levels in games I've played in have come fast and furious. The longest (in-game calendar) campaign I've played in hit epic in just over 13 years. Particularly with the longer lived races, my GM came up with an interesting mechanic, though I do not have the...

    Enterprise 01-14-04

    So, the Xindi destroied their homeworld...and this race had their final battle some eight months before. I suppose we're seeing how lucky Enterprise's Earth was to even make it to the point where _outsiders_ are trying to blow up their planet. Plenty seem to do it themselves, then move on.

    Anime d20 from BESM any good?

    I'd agree with that. It is a very expensive book for its size, so best to check out the free stuff.

    Mystical Properties of Gems

    Volo's Guide to All Things Magical in 2E had a pretty good listing of posible magical properties of gems, as well as metals and woods. It's a free pdf file on the wizards site, and might be worth a download.

    SRD & Epic Handbook

    The Handbook itself is not in the SRD, but the basic epic level information in the 3.5 DMG is. Class level progressions, a dozen or so feats, ect.

    The "non cliche" DnD thread

    The character I'm planning on playing for the campaign my regular DM is starting up next month is going to be a bald, shaved, dwarven sorceror. His original story isn't so unique. He's going to have been a former fighter (and his first level is in that class) and a middle aged former officer...

    What exactly is a Hedge Wizard?

    That's generally what I think represents them best.

    Roleplay and PrC

    Generally if there is an organization attached to a prestige class, there is some amount of role playing involved. Whereas, if it is just a mechanical thing, and a logical progression for the character (a fighter/wizard taking levels in Eldritch Knight for example) then it can be done without a...

    Star Trek vs. Babylon 5

    Thanks for the link uv23. It looked fairly amusing, and after following the website to some of the previous films, was even funnier when things were in context. I'll look forward to the completed movie.

    (SPOILER CAUTION) A lot of questions about Buffy the Vampire Slayer

    I think he's focused on the thread he started on Nutkinland with the same opening post. His followup was asking why Buffy kept her identity as the Slayer from Joyce for so long, as it seemed to needlessly complicate things for her.

    Help me corrupt a Paladin

    Death Knight? I rather liked the one they had in Dragon...which I believe is in the MM2. Lots of powers and flavour abilities, can't be turned, ect.

    [GR] Holy/Unholy Warrior 3.5 Update Query

    We've been using and enjoying both the Holy and Unholy Warriors for a while now. Though the Paladin is no longer strictly encompassed by the Holy Warrior, I find that most other combinations of Domains and spell lists are comparable to the new paladin. So, while an update would be nifty, I...

    What alternate base classes are you using?

    Holy/Unholy Warrior from Green Ronin encompassing the Paladin, Samurai from OA in slightly altered form for nobles, and OA's version of the Shaman.

    Non-Lawful/Good paladin/holy/unholy warrior?

    In the game world I consider my "home" game, holy warriors encompassing the paladin are allowed, following the Holy Warrior and Unholy Warrior classes presented in the Green Ronin products. Thus far, they've been a great success, and the way the various religions have been set up, there is...

    3.5 Box Set?

    I picked up one for my DM's christmas present (At Face Off Cards in Winnipeg if anyone's looking...heh). Came to $93 canadian, so I was pleased.

    Children of High Level Characters

    Taking mmadsen's point, you may wish to adjust their experiences accordingly. If all their deeds are thanks to the vorpal swords and staves of the magi, they're not really exercising their own skills. I would reward characters who showed restraint in using their magical items with experience...

    Eadric et. al. (The Paladin and his Friends).

    Well, keep in mind that the infernal wasn't created for the purposes of destroying spellcasters, just bent to that purpose because they needed an outsider bad enough to stand up to just about everything a single spellcaster breaking the injunction could throw...and then crush them to tiny bits.
