From Monsters & More, which was complied by ThirdWizard, I get the following: • Dazed: A Dazed creature grants combat advantage to all attackers, cannot flank enemies, and can act only on its own turn. It cannot make opportunity attacks or use immediate actions. • Staggered: As Dazed, AND...

Delgar, I haven't run the whole adventure, but I did run a party of all six pregen PCs against the dragon. From the wording on the wizard's light power, compared to the wording on the dragon's darkness power, I operated under the assumption that the light trumped the darkness. We probably...

So... It would've been a cross-country flight, I'm not going. :( But, being the canny groupmind that we here on the message boards are, maybe we can all post our most burning questions for the people who are going? I understand you won't have books to look at, and you won't have all the...

You'd be hard pressed to say that English is common if your definition of common is a "mercantile language" or a "less nuanced language." It's one of the most diverse languages on the planet, thanks to the mingling of french and middle-english in 1066.

Much better. More interesting. I'd have to think longer about the balance, but I think this is more deserving of a prestige class.

I have to agree with uv23... This is a list of feats that the character could have otherwise taken, and a significant reduction in sneak attack ability. The player who wants these benefits would get the same number of feats (and some other bonuses) by taking fighter levels intermitantly...

Anyone know why the decided to make PrCs more "expensive" than standard classes? It somewhat antithetical to the standard view on those classes... Is there some severe abuse I'm missing? They're rarely that much better than standard classes. I especially think it would be a mistake to limit PrC...

Do people really still use "common"? I gave up on having the "Common" language back in 2e... It always seemed to me that this sort of thing would never exist, plus I can't understand why every culture of humans would give up having their own language (look at earth...). My current campaign...

As previously used in my first 3e campaign, an alternate +0 ECL Gnoll (But then, I've always got an alternative, don't I?): - Medium Size - Speed 30ft - +2 Wisdom, +2 Dexterity, -2 Intelligence, -2 Charisma; Gnolls are more aware of their surroundings than ofter humanoid species, and have...

I think that the human's feat is its single greatest (no questions asked) benefit. With the huge influx of feats since the inception of 3e, anything interesting you want to do with your character requires feats. Being non-human stifles your growth as a character in comparison. Fighters don't...

No, Mike, I'm not refering to your comment. I meant in game terms. Datt: I think the greathammer is odd, since it's less powerful than a greataxe, but more powerful than a greatclub... 1d12/x3 would seem appropriate to me. Greatclubs, I think, are intentionally underpowered to serve as...

There's nothing unbalanced about that weapon... there would be nothing unbalanced if it were 2d6 either. In either case, it's comparable to greatsword. As it stands, it's identical to Greataxe, with the damage type changed to bludgeoning.

I've been playing a Psion in a friend's campaign for a while now. I don't feel that there's any issue with summoning taking a full round. I still manage to flood the field with astral constructs, and I dish out as much damage as the fighters sometimes. I do like the idea of summoning sickness...

I like those feats a lot, but what's the idea behind making the familiar MORE powerful... what do you lose in this system?

The Anger Management feat is cool, but I'd slap a prerequisite on it (Maybe Extended Rage from MotW...), because it's one of those feats that falls under the "why the hell not?" category. Haiiro: Re: "Investing" When you put a rolled 16 or higher into dexterity as a druid, you're...

Aside from the obvious problem of extra math ( I know it's simple, but when it's four in the morning, and you're running that one last combat fueled only on Coffee and Doritos... it starts to matter), You do realize that BAB increases significantly faster than AC does, don't you? You're...

Haiiro: I intended the stats to stay the same, but it seems we've moved on from that post, so, I'll just leave it alone. Mike Sullivan: You can't talk about "arguably" more important, the answer is in the DMG. Wisdom and Charisma and Intelligence are all equally weighted against strength. It...

I went ahead and offered up my variant half-elf (which is still untested...) so I may as well go ahead and offer my variant half-orc. It's similar to some of the lines offered up here, but stands on its own. (Note that I changed orcs to justify these changes.) HALF-ORC - Medium Size - Speed...

Try playing a gnome wizard... these guys have a sign on their back that says "Grapple me, Ogre... and while you're at it, you've got six levels of fighter, so go ahead and take that -20 penalty and just hold on to me with one arm, then start swinging at everyone else." 10th level Gnome wizard...

So, I'm letting a player take control of an 8th level Djinn (a la Savage Species), five levels from completion of his full racial powers. I don't think it's overpowered in any way... His invisibility at will is interesting, but spellcasters in my game have been combatting this since 3rd level...
