    Fighter/Wizard a good choice now! [3.5]

    Spellswords are now rendered obsolete with the invention of the EK. Bladesingers still are good, but they have always been more focused on melee than spellcasting. If you want a truly balanced fighter/wizard than the new EK is the way to go. A 4th level fighter/6th level wizard/10th level EK...

    epic modules?

    As mentioned earlier, there has only been two epic modules published so far. How high level of an epic module do you need? If your characters are in the low to mid 20s, there are a couple of standard D&D 3.0 modules you could convert. The Bastion of Lost Souls is for levels 18 to 20. The...

    For a Rogue, when is feinting better than getting 2 attacks?

    The improved feint feat makes a feint a move action, instead of an attack action. It definitely is not a free action. Here is a link to the 3.5 SRD for proof: http://www.wizards.com/d20/files/v35/Feats.rtf

    Rank the D&D 3.5 classes!

    Wow! I posted this thread yesterday afternoon, and didnt get any immediate responses, so I figured it had died out. I am glad some people have started to post their rankings. I also posted this exact same question at the official WoTC boards. I have received a tremendous response over there...

    Rank the D&D 3.5 classes!

    Post your rankings for the D&D 3.5 classes here. These rankings should be based on how powerful you think each class is relative to each other, and relative to the monsters and NPCs you might fight in your campaigns. DO NOT post your list based upon which classes you like to play the most, or...

    D&D 3.x Spell power special ability and D&D 3.5

    Several prestige classes in D&D 3.5 received a special ability called spell power. This special ability, gained at various levels in a prestige class, would allow a caster to increase the DC saving throw for some or all of his spells. The 3.0 Red Wizard had it, and the 3.0 Archmage had it. Now...

    Thanks Red Baron. That is what I have spent all night looking for! Now I can go to sleep. :)

    D&D 3.x What exactly is an epic weapon in D&D 3.5?

    There is a new category for damage reduction in D&D 3.5. It is called epic damage reduction. My question is...what exactly, under the new 3.5 D&D rules, defines a weapon as an epic weapon? I have the 3.5 PHB, 3.5 DMG and 3.5 MM, and I cannot find any reference to what an epic weapon is in any...

    3 -> 3.5 Conversion Guide

    Sorry Morrus, but Ed Stark said on the official messageboards that the conversion guide would be posted on the website July 18th. Andy Collins said via the PCgen mailing list that the SRD would be updated with 3.5 rules on July 24th, hence the confusion.

    Ranger Playahs: How do you choose favored enemies?

    In D&D 3.5, the ranger favored enemy bonus is no longer a precision-based bonus, so it will work against creatures that normally cannot be affected by a critical hit (undead, constructs, plant creatures, elementals, etc..) This means that picking undead as your favored enemy is definitely the...

    Compiled 3.5 Revisions

    Wow. They severely nerfed the greater cloak of displacement. Since it takes a command word to activate, that means it will take a standard action to use the cloak. Anyone who gets a surprise round on you, or beats you on initiative wont have to suffer the effects of concealment. Guess I will...

    v3.5 Core Books on sale!

    Hey Cergorach, Are you sure that Eldritch Knights only get good Fortitude saves? Andy Collins (one of the designers of D&D 3.5) mentions on his website that Eldritch Knights get good Fortitude saves and good Willpower saves. Could you double check this for me? Thanks.

    Your next v3.5 ranger - 2weapons or bow?

    This is easy...I will be taking two-weapon fighting. The reason why is simple; they nerfed bows in 3.5 D&D. Bows and arrows no longer stack regarding attack bonus and damage. Now you only count the higher of the two. I am fine with this. Many players felt bows were too powerful in the first...

    How often do you game/How much is too much?

    My gaming group use to play 3 times a week, but now we have all graduated from college, and found full-time jobs, so we only game about once a week now. Last weekend I played Star Wars Saturday night, then played Epic D&D Sunday afternoon. Next weekend I will be playing Epic D&D Saturday...

    The optimal number of participants (player AND DM)!

    4 to 6 players (including DM) is optimal. In fact, my gaming group wont even play unless we have at least 4 people.

    What do we know about Eldritch Knights so far?

    Depends on the link. That's why I asked for one. Anyways, to keep you kids from derailing this thread, someone at Andy Collin's website asked the exact same question, and Andy gave a short response. Here is the link: http://pub36.ezboard.com/fgameschat19968frm10.showMessage?topicID=421.topic
