This is actually the same discussion myself and another player had Sunday as my character is in a similar position just to the extreme [current STR score at level 22 is 62). So we went looking for the rules on lifting stuff and using this to my characters advantage. Hulking Hurler is great...

Well Spell resistance is on the spell for a reason. That reason being it is a magical arcane spell. Having said that I think its silly that almost every divine spell has spell resistance too as they are not arcane in nature. I think SR is either way overpowered or way underpowered in...

Well melee vs casting damage should be about the same at the max for the classes. Most of your top spells do 20d6 damage. Fighters are usually doing about 8d6+80 so its pretty even. Casters have empower, fighters can crit. Anywho that's a side note. I think the point is at your final...

You mentioned your character might be a little untrusting of magic. Go Occult Slayer. They are the bane to magic users and its a short progression (5 levels). But you don't have to do a PRC to become a powerful fighter. If fighting is what you want to do and a glaive is how you want to do...

So what would happen if the OP put the Speed property on both his weapons? Does this grant 1 extra attack with each? Would they stack? (since haste and speed dont' stack) I'm just curious, but the OP may want this as an option when he can afford the enchant if they do.

Cool. Thank you very much. Yeah, some of the prices are kinda off the wall on stuff but many of them are based on a permanant effect spell formula (spell level x castor level x 1500gp) and then just divide by the number of uses per day or other factors of the item (such as duration) Try it...

For the Raksasha, there is the anthropomorphic races. These are also listed in Savage Species at the very end in some of the tables. Basically they are sentient bipedal animals. Think of a cat that walks on two legs or a gorilla that is as smart as human. This would give him the "look" of...

Green: Good idea but not quite what I was looking for. I was mainly just wanting to take the idea of the existing item and make it a little stronger and at that higher bonus still useable 3 times per day. STream: I like it. So without numbers the formula is Bonus x Bonus x 125gp. So in...

I just thought of something after Jacob posted about the undead thing. Are you using the alternative turn undead rules or house rules? If your using the standard turn rules then he's got a good point. Your turn undead attempts could be used to maximize spell damage against undead vs just...

Agreed. Its very hard and time consuming to work out a racial progression for a monster (or even a template with a level adjustment). Our group has been doing this for a few years as we love to play new monsters and it generally takes us as players anywhere from a full weekend to a few weeks...

Well for melee action you either want touch spells or if your using your weapon, fighter feats since the cleric doens't get the BAB progression a fighter does and its going to take you too long to buff yourself up enough to charge in melee(our cleric/barbarian found this out the hard way as my...

To answer your second question, yes and no. If you take the monster racial progression then you get everything the moster gets basically over the course of the progression. They have a lot of these in savage species (such as the raksasha). Most players won't want to just dip into a race a few...

I really like the Brute Gauntlets (Magic Item Compendium pg 83) for my character that I'm playing and for future characters or campaigns. However, they are really low level and I want to improve them so they are more useful to my character. I know how I would like to improve them but can't...

Chalk one up on the "i'm an idiot" column for me. I didn't realize you were actually updating the original class progression you posted. DOAH! "smacks forehead" Looks a lot better than the very first time I read it back when you posted. Nicely done. huzzah to you and all the good ideas so...

Well the unarmed damage output is why I suggested it where I did with a bite at 1d6 or start with 2 claws at 1d4 each. Then you can boost the damage dice as the progression unfolds and still be about in line with a fighter all the way as far as average damage output is concerned when the class...

Well its very easy to get these books/borrow or to find the information online.

Well I can think of several great ones that I would pick, but my goals might be waaay different than yours. So can you give us a little more detail about where you want your fighter to end up? Do you want him to be a dragon slayer? Do you want him to be a tough guy around town? Do you want...

Well the holodeck is a bad example as those things actually have matter and thus can be interacted with (this is why Worf can do combat simulation and still hit them) but the lie thing kinda makes sense. I still think my approach (even if you all say its not how the rules work) fixes the...

I fail to see how when a monk turns level 20 and turns to an outsider that a lot of buffs don't work on him? The warblade/beguiler would be tough. Melee or spellcasting is at your disposal and reflex is your only bad save. Manuevers and stances can be taken to bolster your defenses or take...

Well this is where I'm using logic and not just the rules. Ok..So your saying that most illusions are real? If they are real then they shouldn't be illusions now should they? They should be conjurations (such as mage hand) or evocations (such as fireball). But they aren't real and thus not...
