    Customizing Pre-defined Magic Weapons

    I'm just about to start playing in a new, high-level campaign. My character is a high level assasin, and I want to equip him with an improved version of the assasin's dagger and a sword of subtlety. ------------------------------------------- Assasin's Dagger: This wicked-looking, curved +2...

    d20 with Warhammer flavor?

    How I would do it This is how I would do it: *4 base classes (ala Unearthed Arcana) - Rogue, Warrior, Ranger, Scholar - each has 10 levels. Rogue - generic class from UA Warrior - generic class from UA Ranger - generic class from UA Scholar - generic class - doesn't get magic unless it...

    Updating City of the Spider Queen (GENERAL SPOILER ALERT)

    Watch out for demons Many got nice boost-ups in 3.5. So that early encounter with.... might want to be reworked as one. (In my game, the crypts section was much more dangerous than Szith Morcane). Some suggested monster tactics, like.... might need some reworking. Beyond that, things...

    Rumors from Player's Guide to Faerun

    The problem isn't that 3.0 spell focus is broken (though combined with GSF, it might be), it's that there is little else for a low level character to take. A 1st level fighter wants to pick some feats that help in him combat. He can choose between weapon focus, combat reflexes, combat...

    Help me swing my players away from clerics

    I'd say take advantage of it! If your players want to run clerics, let them. Run a religious-themed campaign. For example, the game could deal with church politics, a holy war between faiths, or even an epic struggle between gods (ala Time of Troubles). Let most of the party's oppositions be...

    FR: Players Guide to Faerun is out what do you think?

    Of course you can. Most of the book is history/geography for the realms - and you've got more specific info on the region you're interested in. You don't really need the prestige classes and feats described (most of them are in the new core rules or PGF anyways). If you want to emphasize the...

    looking to be build powerful level 12 duelist

    I'd go 4 levels rogue, 3 levels of swashbucker, 4 levels of fighter, and 1 level of duelist. Rogue levels give you killer skills (I'm talking bluff, diplomacy, tumbling here - not disable device), plus evasion and uncanny dodge. Sneak attack is just an extra little bonus. 3 levels of...

    UA's class-based defence bonus. Your thoughts?

    I'd take a look at Conan for inspiration. Basically, you get two defensive abilities - a dodge and a parry rating. Each is calculated differently and can be used under different circumnstances. The following suggestions are kind of rough, and may require some tweaking to get the balance right...

    Is there a point to the Quick Draw feat?

    Or rogues throwing a volley of daggers, or a ranger with a volley of hatchets... Or a backup weapon for a fighter who prefers to use a reach weapon - or a bow for that matter. Remember, drawing a weapon as part of a move action means you can't take a full-attack action.

    Oh, the joys of the OGL (Unearthed Arcana)

    Technically, this is not legal, even with the OGL attached. The OGL permits you to distribute any of the text marked as OGL content and none of the text with PI. The OGL does not give you ANY access to the artwork and the page layouts - even those fancy borders around the edge of the page. All...

    Why is magic item pricing exponential instead of linear?

    Well, in practical terms, it limits the availability of the more powerful items, forcing characters to adventure for the big stuff, and to only have one or two really powerful items and lots of little ones. Also, when they kill things and take their stuff, they can be rewarded with magic items...

    Why Forge Ring when you can Craft Wondrous?

    Personally, I like the following: Craft Arms and Armor (Minor, Medium and Major) Craft Rods, Staves and Wands (Minor, Medium and Major) Craft Wondrous Items (Minor, Medium and Major) - this includes rings Each catagory has three feats, that have the lower levels as prereqs. Scribe Scrolls...

    Are whips broken or shafted? Personal experiences?

    Sure you could do these things, pretty much with the rules: Idol Pluck - basically, you need to hit it (AC 10 + size modifiers). Because you are trying to entangle it, I'd say this is a -4 penalty (keep in mind that the AC of the idol is pretty low, so this shouldn't be a big problem for a...

    I like your idea better :)

    << PLANESCAPE >> How do you defeat the Lady of Pain?

    You could: 1) Trick her into leaving Sigil (alternatively, worship her so she becomes divine and is kicked out by her own rules) 2) Reflect her into one of her own Mazes 3) Consume her with an entity of non-euclidian geometry 4) Seal off Sigil from the Multiverse and have her starve 5)...

    Unearthed Arcana Variant Rules - Previews and Questions

    The sorcerer is just a 3.0 patch for people who didn't like spell memorization. If you "fix" how the wizard casts spells you obviate the need for a separate sorcerer class.

    CotSQ gone wrong - DM Help!

    1. Depending on what you want to do, they can 'hold the line', keeping the revenants bottled in the Underdark (assuming they have limited access to the surface), or they can be overrun. Or something in between. Perhaps some of the Dales are safety zones filled with refugees and protected by the...

    Or NG's Vault of Larrin Karr - it's a whole mini-campaign and very flexible.

    impact of removing prestige class prereqs and...

    You could turnt the pre-reqs into mandatory purchsae feats - you don't need them to start, but whenever you gain new feats or skills, you must purchase these things - this represents your devotion to your new class. This way the balance factor remains (more or less), but allows PCs to get the...
