    Help us plan an Atlanta gameday

    I might be able to make it. I do live here, but I also have a wife to convince. I'd probably need to wait until closer to the event time to give a definite answer.

    Are we gamers an ungrateful lot?

    Uh, no. How many people download movies and music for free, illegally, because they bitch about the price...even though the price of CDs has pretty much stayed the same since they were invented!!! I don't really have a problem with checking something out before you buy it, but if you like it...

    Help me build an AC fighter

    Dwarf. Mithral Fullplate of Nimbleness. Tumble skill. This way you can apply up to a 20 Dex to your AC. If your DM is really cool, ask for a hybrid/alloy of Living Metal from Magic of Faerun with the Mithral for another I think +2 Dex cap. This actually makes sense, as the Living Metal is...

    Good 3.x adventure

    Shattered Gates of Slaughtergarde is pretty good so far, levels 1-6 or so. The Red Hand of Doom is awesome. Unfortunately, my players haven't finished with Slaughtergarde yet, which seems like a good lead into Red Hand of Doom. Seriously, I think RHoD is probably the coolest adventure I've...

    Transmuting weapon [MIC]

    Good point! Are you sure about metalline being +2 (book at home)? Also, it's worth noting that transmuting doesn't allow you to actually change your weapon into a special material...it simply ignores any DR of one particular foe. If you happen to forget this, and use an AoO against a...

    AOO for movement

    Maybe...if it is a hydra! [ducks for cover]

    Transmuting weapon [MIC]

    Right...I don't think I ever said differently. You hit it in the 1st round, and then you are golden, unless it somehow acquires a different kind of DR during combat, in which case you need to start the process over again. Morphing should've been a synergy prerequisite for Transmuting, imo.

    Transmuting weapon [MIC]

    How many times do you get more than 1 attack in the 1st round? Most of the time, it's only 1 attack, so we're talking about being subject to damage reduction for the 1st round only, and most likely only for 1 attack...after that, you're home free, even if the creature has DR 20/Good &...

    Transmuting weapon [MIC]

    I guess I figured enough folks would have this book. :) Suffice it to say, that I think the wording is sufficient to not even allow argument over. "If the target has multiple types of damage reduction, the weapon overcomes all of them." My beef is that I just think it's too powerful for a...

    Transmuting weapon [MIC]

    Right, that's the same interpretation that I get. I just don't like it. I guess it's a good thing that I'm the DM. I mean, I'm willing to suspend my disbelief a lot, but allowing great swords and scythes the ability to bypass bludgeoning damage reduction and still do the same amount of...

    Transmuting weapon [MIC]

    I thought posting quotes from books was a no no?

    Transmuting weapon [MIC]

    Does the Transmuting weapon enhancement from the Magic Item Compedium overcome any damage reduction? For example, if a transmuting great sword struck a creature with say DR 15/good and bludgeoning, would it bypass both on the following round? As worded, it appears to work against ANY type of...

    Gargantuan Orcus out in March per Amazon

    Looking quite forward to using this figure, as Orcus just so happens to be the BBEGod in my current campaign. I hope the error is that he should be collossal and that the price is $10.00 too high. :-)

    I Have A Copy of Monster Manual 5.

    Ah....thanks! I'm most curious about Orcus. That happens to be BBEGod in my campaign.

    I Have A Copy of Monster Manual 5.

    I really appreciate all of the information provided in this thread. I'll be picking this up when it comes out. If anyone who already has a copy could answer my post linked below, I would appreciate it even more! Thanks again. I read the whole thread and did not find this already...

    Any decent 1-handed thrown weapons out ther?

    Dwarven Warax with the returning ability. Now you're set for melee and range. At higher levels, ask DM for an improved returning ability so that you can throw the weapon as a full attack (I never did this personally, but it'd be worth a shot!). If that doesn't pan out (or even if it does)...

    Rogues - what do you do against undead and constructs?

    There's an alternate class feature in the PHB2 that I think lets you penalize the foe's AC in lieu of sneak attack, but you give up something in return. There are feats in either complete adventurer or complete warrior that let you sneak attack undead. I could be wrong on the books, but...

    I Have A Copy of Monster Manual 5.

    What is the level adjustment/cr bump for the god-blooded template? Does it depend on the god? Thanks. EDIT: Oh yeah, one last question...can this template be applied to giants?

    Action Points question

    I was referring to the UA rules...I'm not familiar w/Eberron. Also, I mentioned important monsters. I didn't mean that all monsters should have APs, but if the OP is concerned with balance at high levels, then he should consider giving out APs to the important monsters/npcs (without needing a...

    Action Points question

    Remember, that action points work for the monsters too! If you allow the players to use them, then the important monsters that you use should use them as well.
