How I would handle it: I'd use two optional rules, one of which would be tweaked. One would be bloodlines, with the other being reducing level adjustments. Rather than using the Bloodlines as-written, I'd use them but call them inherited templates with a +LA value equal to the number of...

Is this a big mistake, or just not super efficient? Because I don't mind not doing WW smites. I just thought WWA would be fun. I guess I'm wondering whether this is a mistake I should consider asking the DM to let me respec for or whether slogging through to WWA is still viable. Mithril...

Well I went ahead and got Dodge, and figure I'll probably still go up toward Whirlwind Attack. I mean, why not? BTW, does anyone know if there's a way to change your familiar from a heavy warhorse to something else (like a hippogryph or sommat) later on, or would that require burning a feat I...

Is it just me or does it look like Dur is turning undead in panel 7?

I'm no expert like the optimizer folks, but I gotta say that an elf rogue is a lot of fun. You get that automatic search check for secret doors, a virtual Alertness Feat, the ability to see in the dark (sorta), long sword and bow proficiency (TWF with longsword and shortsword for your rogue is...

So many conflicting opinions. :confused:

PrCs are optional anyway, so I have no desire to see core design based around them.

Just about any Psionic Class, with Psionic Focus?

Thing is, Whirlwind Attack's going to be much further on, so there's a long wait involved. Most campaigns don't even hit level 20, do they? Still and all, it sounded cool at the time. And I make no bones about being a newbie. :o

We rolled up stats using 4d6-drop lowest, with two sets. (i.e. roll 12 times, the last six rolls being a second "set"). I got a lucky roll on my first set, so didn't use the second. I was extremely happy with the results. ^_^ So Spring Attack is unusual for a Pally? Hmm, I did think it...

I haven't played a lot of D&D, so I was hoping folks could give my character the ol' hairy eyeball and maybe offer suggestions and whatnot. She's a paladin (first time playing one) and our party's a bit undersized. We've got me, a Druid, and a Bard. We've compensated by getting a "Cleric in a...

First, go down to Studio 64. Second, know your dealer... ...what?! I can't have been the only one thinking it. :p

Wasn't this a... why yes, it's a proud nail!

I'm just waiting for Xykon to bypass the whole battle setpiece and bamf into the throne room somehow. I'm also hoping there's a scene with Xykon running across the cell block, and prisoners languishing within...

Yeah, seems kind of a waste to use two feats to "cast any spell in your book" since you can do so anyway with just fifteen minutes of prep work (for that occasional non-combat utility spell). Moreover, scrolls are awesome. Check out the costs: 12gp, 5sp + 1 xp for a first level spell scroll...

But why?

That's the way we're playing it, yes. I doubt it. I don't think that a warhorse (celestial or otherwise) has a HD Size progression. Same as if a Druid took a Dire Wolf later on. They don't grow larger than Large. Ah. Figures. *grumble* Hmm, though of course this just means a Druid can...

True, Combat Casting's a big old dud. Better to take Skill Focus (Craft Alchemy) instead. :)

Exactly. There's textual evidence to play it either way (that "may" is a fair point). Mind you, I wasn't complaining about the pseudo-dire wolf we had in the party. We've an undersized party at 3 players and an additional front-line fighter is a welcome addition. :)

Reference, please? We hunted, and the only rule we could find is that when monsters gain HD commensurate with their new size category, they grow into the new size category. The Animal Companion write-up and the MM both had no special exception text.
