    Gestalt Tank Build

    I was just thinking about fun builds for a gestalt game I am playing in (my poor pally/sorc failed his will save vs. bodak stare). I was thinking of going Fighter/Warlock, and picking up Battle Caster (mithral full-plate ftw) and the Fey Touched feats, specifically Fey Skin. Does anyone else...

    Leadership Question

    Then why punish him for not bringing his cohort? No purpose is served by doing so, from the sound of it. In fact, all this would do, if give him a damn good reason to bring said cohort along, which you have stated would be against your preference. It's not going to break the game, since the...

    Leadership Question

    Well, not having the cleric with the party deprives the player of the massive usefulness of having a healbot on hand for pretty much any on-the-spot healing needed, so I'm not really sure what would be accomplished by depriving the cohort of levels. I'd just say that the cohort is having some...

    [LANAI] The Rod of Seven Parts: Into the Crucible

    "Which means stopping now would avail us little. I say we press onwards, with special caution devoted towards the ceiling. It has not treated us with much hospitality thus far." Wyleck states.

    Diplomacy and Taking 10

    Indeed, but WITHOUT skill mastery, or an equivolent ability, it's usually impossible to take 10 on deplomacy checks. Under the SRD, you can't take 10 if there are any distractions or threats, and personally, I consider charging orcs and the like to be both.

    Epic Problem : Return to Power

    Salarassa scratches at his beard as the walk through the front door of the inn. "I suppose it does, actually. I thank you for your explaination, and if you require any help with your endevour, let em know and I'll see what I can do. Now lets find us a bard, eh?" he says, as he scans the room...

    Epic Problem : Return to Power

    Salarassa walks with Panarchus, and ponders the beings words. "You have an interesting view of things Panarchus. Some of our allies I have fairly well placed, but not so much with you. Would you mind telling me some about this god that you serve, so I may better understand you?" he asks, as he...

    Help me build a tank

    Try going Rogue 2, Hexblade 3, Paladin of Tyrrany the rest of the way. If you don't mind EVIL, that is.

    Are the flaming burst properties ever really worth it?

    Speaking as someone who rutenily plays a fighter, I usually hit on 2's after, say, level 5. This is when the Burst lone of enchantments get better for a crit build. EDIT: God, that was the worst spelling of a word I've seen in a long while. ROUTINELY. There. I'm just going to look at that...

    Are the flaming burst properties ever really worth it?

    I have but one thing to say on this matter: Hunter's Mercy + Thundering + Longbow = WIN

    XP and defeating opponents

    You are right, now that I look. I owe you somewhat of an apology for mixing what you said with what someone else did. I still don't agree with the manner in which you expressed whatcha did say, but that's another matter. again, more the reason for me to apologize. I may have woken up on the...

    XP and defeating opponents

    Ok, I was going to stay out of this, but since that is a faily insulting way of discribing a practice you do not subscribe to, I'll comment. As a GM, I control, in it's entirely, the game. If I want to kill the characters, they will die. If I want them to live, they will live. When you get down...

    Epic Problem : Return to Power

    "Well, my good man, there are two of us, so we can probably accomidate the both of them. If you would be so kind as to provide directions? Also, it might be good if you kept our enterance into the city a secret. We have enemies about in the world, and it would not do for them to know of us too...

    Tank builds

    See, I'm of the opinion that if you are gonna go pally, go straight pally. one of their most powerful abilities, lay on hands, is totally reamed if you multiclass. I should be starting at lvl12, which gives me 5 feats. I plan on taking divine vigor as one of them, to offset the slowed movement rate.

    Tank builds

    In the long run, the -2 to charisma is not that bad. The eventual -20 to lay on hands is cancelled out by the +20 to hp from the con bonus, and the one less divine vigor is cancelled out by the ability to wear full plate with no movement penalty, not to mention proficiency with the Dwarven...

    Newbie Character Advice: Paladin

    Yeah, Pallys CAN be quite nice combat healers if they really pump up their lay on hands. An 8th level pally could quite reasonably get 24 charisma if they treat it as a primary stat, and that's 56 points of healing availible in one shot, to ruin an undead's day, or bring a dying ally to full...

    Tank builds

    Ok, I'm thinking of making a straight up hard to kill tank type character for a campaign I'm in. Sincle only the core classes are availible, I'm thinkin a Dwarven Pally is going to win, hands down. Great saves, and TONS of HP, as well as an easier time in full-plate+tower shield make for a good...

    Oddest builds...

    Someone playing a Gandalf knockoff. High level pally that ran around in robes because he had maxed out his age catagory and couldn't wear full plate anymore. Took monkey grip and all the two weapon fighting feats so he could dual weild a staff and longsword. With all the buffs from he incredibly...
