Depends on how you plan to acquire the goods. If you plan to rob the guy, gather info should be enough. Spycraft has some great black market rules you could use if you're looking to buy (in their weapons source book). You use a level check to find a fence. I allow players to spend an extra...

Your call. The sources go either way, so it's best to use what works for your campaign.

I'd say no, but enterprising clerics might be able to work it into another holy symbol. Followers of a shadow god might have a shaded effect aroung the edge of a shield of Pelor, or some such. It would be tricky work though.

If you're in city based areas, how much do the leaders care for their constitueunts? How well do they deal with fire? How much wood and combustibles are in the area? Some ideas: if the characters are hold up in a building, throw in smudgepots (think smoke bombs). If there's too many flammables...

I tend to agree with this. Experienced warriors (if they have levels, they have some experience. There are apprentice levels for a reason :) ) don't go into battle without expecting some casualties. However, if they die due to a bonehead tactical desicion made by the leader like, say, having...

We have three folks with the feat or planning on taking it right now. The first, a trollkin with a circus. Don't ask; I don't know. I think it has to do with a cover identity and a means of making money on the side. The second, a fey (think a varient of gnome) uses his followers to fill out a...

Masters of Arms has the Alpha Beast PrC. It's described as a fighter class for animals. I remember that it gets best BaB, an additional HD, and abilities per level. I don't remember how many of those abilities could be used with hooves though. Might be worth looking into.

Voted Other. Didn't 'fix' it per se. I did buy Badaxe's half-orc book, then said 'if you're not playing a half-orc, don't bother looking'. There are some great bits in their that make them part of the game, as opposed to walking shields. The Hoodoo is a personal favorite. Nothing's scarier...

If you're near Upland CA, we could use a rogue. The campaigns also gestalted. :)

Running Dragon Star I introduced IK style fantasy tech as a means of letting the tech come through. Yep, I had to bring in fantasy tech so they'd actually use the real tech *shudders*. PS: As said earlier, adding tech changes the game. I added the tech because I wanted something other than...

In a typical campaign, player characters don't have advancing AC either. Characters become reliant on either class abilities or, more often, equipment. It'll get pricey, but it isn't much different than buying equipmnt for a cohort. It does bug me that damage doesn't improve without a size...

I remember there being an option of Barbarians that improved Dex instead of Str when they raged (may have been 3rd party though). Even then, if traps are a problem, it might work out for you. Fast movement (not sure if it stacks), d12 HD, ref bonuses for traps, and a means up increasing your...

What spells can reflect an area effect spell back at the caster, or at least stop them without adversally effeecting the rider? That seems appropriate.

I'm using a Cavalier in an IK campaign. It's third level so I can't say much on it yet. IK isn't as prone to dungeon crawls (war jacks are as likley to be in a dungeon as a horse), so I'm looking at maintaining an advantage for some time. That said, I'm also looking forward to upgrading the...

Arcana Evolved gives level progession up to 25th in this way. You could ask folks who play that and get their opinion.

Sword and Sorcery has 'The Vault of Larin Karr'. Goes through levels 4-9. It's a mix of above and below ground adventures as you look for the drows hidden vault. The above ground areas consist of three villages, forests, and hills. The underground areas connect them all together. The best...

I still remember pistol training while in the service. Our Staff Sargeant kept screaming 'Graucho, Graucho!' He wanted us to imitate Graucho Marx's walk so we'd be more accurate on the move. Slowed you down a bit. I can't see the opposite being true.

You see it pretty much anywhere a hobbies being around for awhile. Gardeners look for the best ways to grow things, bakers get the new frosting layering bags, etc. Unfortunately, D&D doesn't have any means for this activity to be satisfying beyond 'HAH!! I beat you!!'.

I believe so. I'm not up to date on much in IK except the base mechanics. Tends to help maintain the suspension of disbelief. I'm sure the Dm would also appreciate it if I didn't know how to kill every critter in the book with ease.

Khador, with everyone being a member or mercenary for the Khadoran military. We played in a village when the wizard started showing up. Military showed up but didn't do anything to the players, which tends to mitigate the constabulary. Part of it may also have been how we deal with the mage...
