    Alternate Charisma Uses

    Thanks for the replies so far: Yes, tying Charisma to action points is a good thing I think, but it doesn't help for my NPCs who won't have action point. I'm looking for anything else that represents you projecting your force of persoanlity: Some things I'd like to look at are opposed level...

    Alternate Charisma Uses

    Of all the stats, I think that Charisma is the least powerful. With the exception of certain classes, there's not a compelling enough reason for my players to favor it over the other "personality" abilities. For fighters and rogues and other classes who don't have inherent class abilities that...

    D&D 3.x Reworking 3e armour; need help!

    I felt the same way about the way armor is presented. Only the top armor in each tier is viable, and once you get into enchanted armor the majority of the cost is in the bonuses not the base. Using these as guidelines I came up with the following new armor table: • Rangers need a set of armor...

    Mystic Theurge question

    Summon monster (series) is a spell that's available to both arcane and divine spell casters. If I cast Summon Monster II using my cleric's 2nd level spell slot I didn't just cast an 'arcane spell.' The anyspell lets you prepare any spell available to an arcane spell caster (although I guess it...

    Mounted Combat, Charge question...

    I don't see where your getting this from. Did you read the quotes I wrote out of the PHB? They explicitly state that you and your mount attack on a charge. Furthermore you aren't the one who's charging; your mount is. You can take a move action and a standard attack in the round your mount...

    Mystic Theurge question

    techniqually it doesn't work because even when casting the arcane spell prepared with Anyspell, you're casting a domain spell, ie: divine magic. So you never actually can cast Arcane magic in that way.

    Sneak attack w/Ray of Frost?

    Actually that is sorta the concept for my Rogue Sorcerer that I'm playing right now. This was made way before complete arcane (I still haven't seen it yet) but I'm going for the Arcane Trickster Prc, and with my Sorcerer spells I've been selecting things that will deny the target's DEX bonus...

    Anything wrong with this build (other than the DM said no)

    I AM CALM!!! :) You're perfectly right in your own opinion. Same to the person who wrote about this not fitting in the FR setting. But really it depends on why you come to the table to have fun, we can all agree on that right? Different strokes for different folks. Some people are all...

    Cleave and Charge Question

    Thanks Hyp, but you didn't have to be so brutal :D .

    Mounted Combat, Charge question...

    I think the confusing issue is that you must stop after a charge, and that your lance has reach, and you share your mount's space, so it's like you get to 10' of your target and stop. But it's important to remember that according to the text on PHB pg 157 (3.5) your mount is the actual...

    help with an outdoors character type

    I'm a powergamer at heart, what are the good combos for Rangers and Druids as far as feats and spells go. FYI it's not a low magic setting; we're playing Faerun, the DM is just stingy with the treasure tables.

    Cleave and Charge Question

    So even though the charge has ended would you still get that +2 from charging? Also: Would this text prompt you to think that no extra attacks even ones granted by cleave would be allowed? Finally one last charge question, can you draw a weapon as part of a charge? Charge is a Full-Round...

    help with an outdoors character type

    I recently got back from (real life) AF Combat Survival training. It was a ton of fun and I learned a lot of ranger-like stuff including how to hunt small game, how to skill and make pelts, what kinds of plants are edible, how to make a tent out of ponchos, and how to conceal it, and I even ate...

    Double weapons str bonus???

    Under the Feat Power Attack it says that "(Normally you treat a double weapon as a one-handed wepon and a light weapon [assuming you use both heads in a round otherwise it's a two handed weapon])" While this can be taken to mean that in regards to the feat power attack the double weapon is...

    Anything wrong with this build (other than the DM said no)

    I wanna thank all you guys in the community for trying to help solve this problem we've been having. I think I may have mislead you a little bit though, Jimmy and I have been having problems for awhile, and we're used to it. It's part of the fun really. I just like to complain every now and...

    Anything wrong with this build (other than the DM said no)

    That essential what happened. I promised him I wouldn't pull out the rulebook in game again, but on the flip side I also told him that whenever he makes up a new house rule on the spot I'm going to write it down and we'll all play by that rule. And someone else did DM for awhile, so we're...

    Anything wrong with this build (other than the DM said no)

    It's a pretty funny story, me and the other DM (lets call him Jimmy) switch off games. I run a Thayian campaign where I have to deal with them being evil in addition to all the PCs being powerhouses in their own right: they all are over specialized, but together they make a great team. But get...

    Anything wrong with this build (other than the DM said no)

    yeah, with this build I'm at -2 with monkey grip, +1 for it being masterwork (because all heavy weapons are masterwork), and at least +1 for having to have a 13 str. And anyway THL is way overpowered, but on the same hand dealing this much damage and having a shield is cool too. Of course even...
