If you're allowed to bring in a bit out non-core material, the Races of the Wild has some interesting racial substitution levels that work nicely for mounted halfling druids.

Which version of the Druid are we talking? Original PHB? PHB with errata? PHB II shapeshift variant? One of the UA variants?

Warlocks benefit from the Retraining rules, so that they can take Toughness and Skill Focus (UMD) at level 1 to survive and then swap them out for more useful feats once your HP/skill modifiers get to more reasonable levels.

That depends... Say you can make a DC30 check. That accomplishes 90 GP of work/week. So it'll take 12 weeks. If you can make a DC40 check, it'll take 7 weeks. So, its highly dependent on how much downtime your campaign gets. Mundane item crafting can give non-casters something to do during...

Ok, so let me walk through an example or two. Let's postulate a medium size knight with long sword and shield standing in an open field with clear terrain all around. SCENARIO A: Drive By Attacker A goblin rides by on his worg and attacks the knight. None of the squares are considered...

That's fine -- the BBEG still gets 50% concealment and all the other bonuses of invisibility. Plus, if he can get hard cover for one round (or some other form of concealment, such as a simple Smokestick) the PCs may not notice at all, at least not well enough for targeting purposes.

One more quick question -- Can you 5' step through Difficult Terrain, as from a Knight's Bulwark of Defense? Thanks!

It sounds like for sure there will be no problems if the individual in question draws the scroll forth (move action), drops the scroll (free action), picks up the scroll (move action), and then reads the now-visible parchment (standard action or longer depending on spell), correct?

Hello, Just a little help on how this spell is supposed to work. IF YOU FAIL YOUR SAVE: You are entangled (-2 to hit, -4 to dex, must make DC 15+ CON check to cast). You also cannot move from the spot. IF YOU PASS YOUR SAVE (or subsequently make a DC20 STR or ESCAPE ARTIST check): You are...

Can you use scrolls while Invisible? My players pointed out that it would be tough to read the lettering. BTB answer would be ideal. Thanks!

Well, you COULD in theory make no-risk money with something like Profession (Trapper/Furrier) or Craft (Taxidermy). For example, a ranger with WIS 12 and 1 rank in Profession could pull in 6 GP/week when taking 10. Not astounding, I suppose, but decent for NPCs or for martial characters during...

We dealt with the underdark by adjusting march order. Sneaky types (with darkvision) formed a vanguard. The bumbling humans with their torches and continual light formed up about 90' behind them escorting the pack train (we had mules and some low level NPCs). 90' behind that group, a rear...

The PHB2 feat "Trophy Collector" has a prereq of Craft (Taxidermy). I'd imagine Survival would be used to skin an animal for strictly utilitarian purposes (probably combined with a DC 5 or 10 craft check to make a basic useful item out of the skin). Appraise would be used to gauge the value of...

Why not play a cleric and get a Rogue cohort? You could play the cleric as being slothful/cautious/a bum who sends his Rogue cohort out on missions, then you can run the rogue more often than the cleric if you want. The cleric's job is to sit at home, craft magic items, and buff his...

In the immortal words of Admiral Ackbar: Its a trap! IMHO, you are FAR better off going with a pure spellcaster. Mystic theurge combines all of the liablities of the wizard (no armor, poor bab, poor saves) with all of the liabilities of the cleric (poor skill points, even worse MAD, and...

Cleric or Druid. You already have a wizard, a rogue, and likely a fighter, so that's the obvious gap. Plus, clerics are VERY versatile -- given an hour to prep spells, you can do pretty much anything. If you want to focus on skills, a cloistered cleric (its in the SRD...) with the Trickery...

Easy. Cleric 10, no PrCs needed. Grab the Planning and Undeath domains for Extra Turning and Extend Spell as free feats. So you've got: DOMAIN - Extra Turning, Extend Spell 1 - Persistent Spell Human - DMM Persistent Spell 3 - Power Attack 6 - Extra Turning 9 - Quicken Spell With 14...

The purpose of saving throws has always been to give heroes (and villains) a fighting chance, even against insurmountable odds. In the 1E DMG, Gary Gygax wrote that he would give a hero chained to a rock a save vs. a dragon's breath -- perhaps he finds a crevice just in time, or the dragon's...

They don't incur the TWF penalties unless they are fighting with two weapons. So, a fellow with a rapier and a dagger who chooses to attack with just the rapier does NOT incur the penalties to hit. Consider that shields can be used as an off-hand weapon -- one would never insist that a sword &...
