DWS and Peerless Archer classes are insane. 10 levels of DWS is a good idea, and 3 into peerless Archer is as well. Start with two levels in ranger for flavor and skill points, then take fighter levels until you can get in to one of the PrC's. If you do decided to get Power Shot out of...

Where on the Cape? Battleground Games and Hobbies in Abington is the shop i frequent and has a nice collection of D&D players and games going on. The storeowners name is Derek and hes AWESOME. Its definitely a great place to meet people in to the hobby. http://www.battlegroundgames.com/ Its...

The thing about it is that its a terrible spell in combat. Damage / round spells are pretty terrible in D&D. PC's would almost never slot this, and would be wasting an action to cast it in almost every case. Its a decent mook spell when you are specifically trying to drain party resources...

One of the veteran players in my group is playing a character that would do incredibly well in a low-magic setting. He is going: 1 cleric 2-6 paladin 7 pious templar 8-17 fist of raziel 18-20 cleric Hes a smiting machine that can pour out massive amounts of damage, is immune to several...

Im looking for some ideas / discussion on what the optimal first round would look like for a 20th level Wizard in the final show down with the campaign / adventure path BBEG. Keep it general. The BBEG is exactly that, Big, Bad, and Evil (End). Nothing more nothing less. No specifics. You...

Spell Focus Conjuration is great for Druids. A large portion of your great spells are conjuration. Augment Summoning is a natural follow up to Spell Focus Conjuration. Its a very powerful feat too. Extend Spell is okay i guess, but i feel there are better choices. If you are looking at...

I've recently taken my first level in a PrC that requires me to lose a school of magic. Due to the flavor of the game, the character himself, and our groups general outlook on good PC's casting most Necromany spells, ive choosen to give it up as a school. The problem is that critical debuff...

awesome. thank you very much good sir. /bow

Ah ha! Is that supposed to be implied, or am i just retarded and somehow missed that?

Re: Staffs Im fairly new to the game and im having a hard time figuring my way through how staffs work. In the DMG pg.243 it says: Where my confusion sets in is the descriptions of some of the standard staffs... For instance: Every last one of them falls WAY short of the 50 charges...

I agree with basically everything Drowbane said. Wilders are the unprecedented champions of nuke'ing (blasting). Energy Missle, Energy Stun, Dispell, Intelect Fortress (or Damp Power if you're into to the totaly broken stuff) and that power that ignores SR and deals slashing damage (i forget...

I think the D&D Minis do a great job of trying to keep scale in mind. The CRD definetly puts things into perspective though. Its pretty massive... a lot bigger than i figured it would be. It dwarfs the large and huge size minis and makes the new Black Dragon look like a little kid.

Its got to be at the end of casting, just like a summon spell. You are channeling the Pyroburst. When you release it, it releases... :)

Can you please explain why his touch AC is 16?

Im am currently playing the Age of Worms Adventure Path and LOVING it! Im just about to start adventure 4 (of 12) so the plot line isnt very clear to our party yet. Our DM has told us very, very little about the game outside of what we are told at the table, but he always talks about how great...

We also use a mix of the 3.0 and 3.5 cover rules. We felt it was a poor reflection of the "actual" senario to say either a +4 or a +8. Never anything else.

I dont feel the Warlock is broken by any means. Infact im hoping that Complete Mage gives them a bit of love. They make subpar fighters with Hideous Blow being a standard action, and sure Eldrich Blast is pretty cool, but by no means is it overpowered. The other stuff they get is pretty cool...

Hey, new to these boards! Glad to be here, and wow what a great thread. I have been looking for an up to date discussion on this exact topic for a long time. The WotC boards seem to be okay at best. Anyways, I too am currently playing an Archer in a home game. The build i chose is the...
