1st Level Items (100 gp.) set of Studded Leather Armor (+3 armor bonus to AC) - 25gp. pair of Cold Iron Gauntlets (lethal damage w/ unarmed strikes, bypass some DR)- 16gp. Longspear (reach weapon, set vs. charge for x2 damage) - 5gp. Dagger - 5gp. Explorer's Outfit - 10gp. Standard...

Sorry, I was disappointed by it too. :( But the Spiritual Totem ability (CC, p.46) just references the Monster Manual description of the ability, which is as above. You'd do better with Scaled Horror.

You better look again, or hope your DM doesn't look to closely: Improved Grab If a creature with this special attack hits with a melee weapon (usually a claw or bite attack), it deals normal damage and attempts to start a grapple as a free action without provoking an attack of opportunity. No...

I wanted to make a barbarian who didn't use a two-handed weapon or charge all of the time, but was still competitive. I tried for a progression that would be playable at all levels. I'd appreciate your feedback; tell me how you think I did. I welcome suggestions and criticism. The build use...

Hi Keefe, Some of the discussion is "reinventing the wheel." Warforged Grafts can be found in a published product. I did some Googling; they're in Faiths of Eberron. I'd assume they'll accept imbedded or attached components. Conceptually, I'm sure that your character has the craft and item...

I'd suggest that Craft Flesh Graft - Warforged (prerq: Heal 10 ranks) should be included in the requirements, along with Craft Magic Arms and Armor, Craft Wonderous Item, and 11 ranks in either Blacksmith, Armorsmith, or Weaponsmith. ...I just read the description of Renegade Mastermaker and...

Seconded. If not as a general rule for all classes (which IMO would be ideal), it should definitely (and at the very least) be written into the 4E rule set for Fighters.

What if a Perfect character was limited to beginning ability scores of 10 or above, before the +2 racial bonus? That way, the Perfects will all be (at least slightly) above the normal human baseline for each attribute. At the same time, it'll have a slight leveling effect because players...

Two things immediately spring to mind: The first is Barbarian with the "Implacable" alternative class feature (replacing the standard rage): Implacable (DR330 p84) Resilient Rage – You gain +4 bonus to Dexterity and Constitution, a +2 bonus on Will saves, and a +1 bonus to your Damage...

Agreed. :)

IMHO, it comes down to the fact that the dragonblood subtype was created specifically to tie in with certain character options (substitution levels, alternate class features, and feats) while remaining distinct from the Dragon type. The dragonblood subtype is relatively easy and "inexpensive"...

That's exactly what I thought before I stopped to double-check. What concerns me is that the newer sources with the "polymorph subschool" stuff (PHB II and the Spell Compendium) say differently.

What prompted my question was an attempt at a reasonably competitive Barbarian/Bear Warrior build. If items that the new form (a bear) could reasonably wear still function, then items like an Amulet of Mighty Fists (which work for natural attacks, too) and/or Necklace of Natural Weapons (Savage...

Unfortunately, the descriptions for both the "wild" armor enhancement and wildling clasp item specifically state that they function in conjunction with the Druid's wildshape ability, so wouldn't cover other polymorph effects (like the Bear Warrior's bear form.)

Here is my perenial suggestion for knifefighters (copied from another thread): It may be suboptimal mechanically as compared to other feat choices for your character, but combining your Dagger with grappling fits with my understanding of the way that daggers were used historically. Rather than...

I was just over on the WOTC site reading through the pertinent FAQ and errata, but comparing it to the text of the "polymorph subschool" rules in PHB II and the Spell Compendium has left me confused. :confused: In the case of a Bear Warrior (CW), do all magic items meld into the bear form...

Does Spring Attack work with a natural weapon attack? (i just noticed the wording of the feat says, "melee weapon". Spring Attack [General] Prerequisites Dex 13, Dodge, Mobility, base attack bonus +4. Benefit When using the attack action with a melee weapon, you can move both before and...
