    Fastest Race?

    From the SRD: So, you retain your Extraordinary class features from any/all classes when Wild Shaped. A Wild Shaped Druid/Monk could potentially have incredible movement speeds in the right form. A Xeph Druid would retain their Burst supernatural ability while Wild Shaped, also.

    Soft Metals Hardness

    Bronze is noted in the Arms & Equipment Guide as having hardness of 9, and 20 HP per inch of thickness (light bronze shields are listed as having 7 HP instead of the 10 of steel ones, while heavy bronze shields are listed as having 14 HP intead of the 20 for steel ones, for reference). Bronze...

    pneumatik's WotBS 3: Shelter from the Storm

    Staret Liiros Tivaniel of the Aquilline Cross Liiros sighs and mumbles something quietly in Elven. He dons his brown, hooded cloak to slightly lessen the nuisance of the rain out here, but wonders idly if Indomitability's odd 'gift' might keep the group warm enough not to catch a cold out...

    Fastest Race?

    Unfortunate that Boots of Striding and Springing were so toned down in 3.5. Still, slap on a level of Sorcerer to that Xeph Barbarian, then he can cast Expeditious Retreat several times per day for +30 ft. speed enhancement like a mount with Horseshoes of Speed. True, it's not as long-lasting...

    [D&D 3.5] War of the Burning Sky [OOC] [Closed]

    I'm not even sure where the Knight of the Watch prestige class was published. The organization is described in Sword & Fist and in the Living Greyhawk Gazeteer, but I don't see any prestige class for it in any of my books. Was it published in some installment of the Oerth Journal or something?

    Base Class i'm building

    Actually, I just misremembered slightly; it doesn't matter if you get a running start or not. Speed higher than 30 feet or lower than 30 feet just gives a general bonus or penalty on Jump checks, even for standing jumps or other uses of the Jump skill. It's a wierd rule, but that's just how it...

    Staret Liiros Tivaniel, Determined Vigil "Agreed. From what I hear, swamps are nasty places full of muck, leeches, predatory reptiles, noisy amphibians, and foul stenches. So, a significant improvement from the Fire Forest and Gate Pass!" the elf jokes. "Anyway, let's gather what information...

    Fastest Race?

    Xephs (Expanded Psionics Handbook and the SRD) are quick, but only in short bursts. Since they're naturally psionic, though, they could take the Speed of Thought psionic feat at 1st-level or later for +10 ft. of speed as long as they maintain psionic focus and don't wear heavy armor or the...

    PrCs giving ability boosts

    Bloodclaw Master (Book of Nine Swords) grants Shifting 1/day at 1st-level for +2 Strength and such, temporarily, with additional uses per day as they advance in the PrC. War Mind (Expanded Psionics Handbook and the SRD) gets temporary Strength and Constitution boosts starting at 1st-level in...

    "Necessary Evil" IC

    Gemini Gemini's clone snickers, and replies quietly but snarkily "How'm I s'posed t'know, eh? I ain't nevah heard ya yappin' 'fore a few seconds ago." Followed a moment later by, "Who the heck're YOU, anywayz? Ya know any o' these chicks?" Meanwhile, the other Gemini, winged and invisible...

    If you have played 3.5e regularly within the past 5 years, what are you playing now?

    Mostly 3.5, a bit of other d20 stuff. I'm about to DM a Pathfinder game, and I've played in a handful of others (all short) over the past year or two. Currently playing in one 3.5 game and a 3.5 PbP, DMing two 3.5 games, and now playing in an M&M PbP. Also DMing a d20 Modern/Future game, but...

    Power of the Mind (opining about psionics)

    Yes, psionics is more of a tacked-on addition in 3.x D&D and perhaps other editions. The 2E psionics book was more flavorful and cool, but also rather unbalanced (some options were just pathetic, and a few others were probably too strong, though most of it was more moderate in potency/value)...

    Achievements?

    LOL! Too bad I can't spread more XP around to the same folks yet. And I was born and raised in Michigan for 20 years, yet I don't recall anyone ever saying "Torphies".........so I don't get that reference. :( Fudgies, sure...... Torphies? Idunno. *misses home* *misses Mackinac Island...

    [D&D 3.5] War of the Burning Sky [OOC] [Closed]

    Hmmm........seems like a neat feat for a high-Wisdom character like a Cleric, Druid, Paladin, or Ranger, but not a good fit for Liiros. He has zero Wisdom bonus, and while the added Strength would help in his melee focus, it's just not worth one of his precious few feat slots when it would only...

    Base Class i'm building

    Nah, no initial jump required, he has it set so that you can sorta treat the fall like a jump if you pass the check, so as to mitigate the falling damage. I like your idea though; maybe just have Perfect Landing reduce effective falling distance for damage purposes by an additional 10 feet per...

    "Necessary Evil" IC

    Gemini, the one who now looks almost the same as Octavia, activates the invisibility power he copied off of her. He/she says "Better hurry, we might get spotted." His clone harrumphs. Apparently the big guy he copied can't turn invisible. So he just crouches down so as not to stick out so much.

    "Necessary Evil" IC

    Gemini Gemini loses his/her smirk and replies, without bothering to try the funny old-timey accent the winged woman had, "Gemini. Might've heard o' me if ya ever done any capers 'round the Americas, Europe, Japan, Australia, the Mediterranean, or the Middle-East. I get around. Don't usually...

    Base Class i'm building

    Keep in mind that prestige classes tend to be balanced to some extent by the prerequisites they have and the opportunity cost of taking those prereqs and taking levels in those classes instead of advancing in a base class for its own particular upper-level benefits and flexibility. A base class...

    What Do You Do With A Problem Item?

    I'd have the item lost or destroyed in-game, but replaced in the same encounter or shortly afterward with a piece of new treasure. If it's a magic weapon, I'd just use one of the monsters or NPCs that happens to have the Improved Sunder feat and such, wielding their own magic weapon or a...

    "Necessary Evil" IC

    Gemini Seeing Helis begin to slow down somehow, he figures the man's armor might have some antigravity device built-in or something, so Gemini adjusts his new wings to angle towards Siren. Might need all the help he could get once they reach the ground. So he tries to snatch Siren out of the...
