Definitely go with halfling. The +3 to hit they will get with thrown daggers more than compensates for the -1 dmg, reduced movement, and lack of a bonus feat. From a powergaming perspective your concept already is at a disadvantage because of the decrese in die type (d4's vs. d6s or a better...

I think the Smurf needs an extra shovel.

You can only make one overrun attempt per round.

I love sarcasm.

I disagree. For one, I can't see how 100% concealability is different than invisibility other than in semantic terms. Second, flatfooted vs. losing your dex bonus is a completely incorrect analogy (to my mind anyway). The reason for this is that they are two different situations each carrying...

I just checked the DMG (3.0). There is nothing in the description to indicate one way or the other which would mean by default, Collins is right - sorry don't know what I was smoking.

The answer is most definitely yes for several reasons: Simplest Reason - Ettin was unaware of the attack. Regardless of whether he was on his guard, there was no way for him to know that he was going to see the arrow coming (all else being equal) until after it was fired, i.e. after the attack...

I recall from 3.0 that it was considered a death effect such that resistance/immunity applied as might be issued from spells and the like.

You know, when you think about that image, it has serious cool factor: The ice cap burst as if from a volcanic eruption. However, before your eyes in your crystal ball, not a stream of lava and volcanic ash emerge, but a collasal head! In incredulity you watch a creature apparently made all...

In the spirit of a 1v4 battle where the 1 is a fighter and all recommendations must remain perfectly general I am picturing some sort of weapon's master (just think bad@$$, rather than PrC) who has to have an intimidating aura to even hope to stand up against such odds. Since there are no...

**bump**

I was wondering if anyone has experimented with the notion of tactical feats introduced (to my knowledge anyways) in the Complete Warrior. I was browsing the otherwise terrible book and fancied this section. Finally there was a way to take feat paths a step further by merging various branches...

Check out one of the recent Dragon magazines. They detail antipaladin core classes. The only inherently good core classes are paladins and clerics of good gods. The contrast to the cleric is simply a cleric of an evil god. Dragon does a nice job of providing a contrast to the paladin. There...

For just core nonsupplemental material: Race: the 3.5 dwarf is extremely powerful. On top of all of the 3.0 abilities, now he retains his speed in heavy armor, gets a stability bonus to avoid being moved, and gets weapon familiarity with several exotic weapons. Feat: improved precise shot...

Feat suggestions: Zen Archery - seems an obvious choice if your Wis nets you a +3 bonus over your Dex. Considering you have the Peraipt of Wisdom as well (not subject to dispels as cat's grace would - even if empowered) this would seem a better choice than precise shot (permanent +3 vs...

I am intrigued with the Bloodline of Fire feat and wanted to build a character around the feat. I was thinking straight sorcerer with: spellcasting prodigy spell focus - evocation greater spell focus - evocation energy substitution and the path of fire feat from Dragon (not sure if that is the...

I have been thinking about this since my last post (getting little work done as a result :)). In 3.X you really don't have many viable options - of course, IDHMBWM. Really, it seems what you are looking for is a 2E Ninja. Misdirection is a tough one. Inside of combat, you have such things as...

I'd check out some of Rokugan's stuff - it seems to be right up your alley (especially the Ninja class).

I pulled that from memory. The harrier is the one that is like the uber holy ranger, right? If so, just nix the requirements given and make up your own. To me, that bonus against the tracked foe is just too perfect for what you are looking for. Alternatively, you could just say that whatever...

That is an absolutely brilliant idea Tonguez. Consider it plagerized.
