    Help! Classic module questions

    Personally, I'd like to recommend three modules, that are reasonably easy to convert to 3E and a lot of fun. First, for a shorter adventure, try The Lost Island of Castanamir. It was designed as a tournament adventure, so it can run quickly if you want it to. It's got a lot of interesting...

    A Paladin's Fall From Righteousness?

    Actually, fornication isn't against the code. Paladins are lawful good, but unless your game is set in an alternate history of the real world, they're not Catholic. You could lump it into the "act with honor" clause, but it depends on the definitions honor has in your game world. If we want...

    A Paladin's Fall From Righteousness?

    I assume she's used Detect Evil on her paramour, to confirm he is indeed, by the textbook definition, evil. I'd start by denying access to some of her spells - the 3rd and 4th level ones first. Her god knows she is willingly associating with an evil person (even though nothing has occurred to...

    Sorcerer or Wizard?

    A specialist wizard and a sorcerer are roughly equal, until you factor in the wizard's bonus feats. The wizard has to prememorize, but most wizards pick a good general set of spells that will see them through most situations - and even a specialist wizard has a much larger selection than a...

    Scythe Wielder - Feats

    With the new 3.5 rules on threat ranges, your best threat range is 13-20 (a Weapon Master of the Rapier with Improved Crit). A Weapon Master of the Scythe with Improved Crit has a crit of 17-20/x4. Seems like Scythes became more viable in 3.5.

    Scythe Wielder - Feats

    Creatures with Adamantine DR are usually nonliving (like golems), and immune to crits.

    Worst 3.5 Change

    Major Creation already has the ability to create a special material weapon. Sure, it has a 10 minute casting time, but Cold Iron and Silver weapons will last quite a while.

    D&D 3.x [3.5] Threat ranges no longer stack!

    Skimming through the thread, I didn't see the clairification Andy made in answer to my question on the WotC boards...so I'll go ahead and post it here. Fedifensor: "Regarding the changes to critical threat ranges (no stacking), what effect does this have on the Ki Critical ability of the Weapon...

    [3.5] Rangers lose medium armor!

    Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: [3.5] Rangers lose medium armor! Or they multiclassed. An old writeup of Aragorn in White Dwarf had him as a Ranger/Paladin, which makes sense to me. Good saves (think Palantir), immune to fear, healing skill (and perhaps a bit of Lay on Hands)... Legolas is a...

    New 3.5 Base Classes-The Return

    1) Rogue/Fighter fills that role pretty well. A slightly-lower attack bonus than the fighter, but still pretty effective (and you can take Duelist or some similar prestige class after a few levels). 2) Sounds like either a fighter prestige class, or a bard/fighter combo. The former would...

    Most power in a game: Multiclassing?

    *BOGGLE* No folks, the Fighter 5/Cleric 1 is MUCH better. With proper domain choices (definately including War), the multiclassed character gets two extra feats from domains. Add the use of a few 1st level spells (Divine Favor, Magic Weapon, and Shield of Faith are good choices) and extra...

    Best way to keep from being charmed?

    Convince the DM to run in the Arcanis setting, then play a Dark-kin (who are immune to Charm).

    Flying off the shelves!

    I'd be happier if my Amazon order didn't say it was being delivered in March or April of 2004...that's what happens when they don't have a release date listed for a product. :( And before anyone asks, I'm a stay-at-home dad with a 6 month old child, that may not be able to get to my FLGS before...

    Paladin Warhorse

    One of the problems with the Paladin's mount, summoned or not, is that it is taken into account when determining how tough the class is. Paladins that aren't mounted on a warhorse are just fighters with better saves and a lot less feats. How often do you see a druid without his animal friend...

    You've got 168 hours to game. What do you do?

    If you want to relive the days of gaming past, take out the ENTIRE GDQ series (Giants, Drow, and Lolth), use the 3E conversion for it, and prepare to kick some major monster behind! Nothing tops off a week of classic D&D like taking out the goddess of the Drow.

    3.5 Scoops Discussion

    Evokers are all going to have the same prohibited schools - Enchantment and Necromancy. Illusion is useful because it has some good defensive spells (such as Mirror Image). Most Evokers don't like spells that you can save against for NO damage, something that Enchantment has in droves. And...
