Usually, other than ability modifiers, base-race does not affect much on a dragonborn character. Because most of the racial traits are lost. But official FAQ suggests that non-humanoids can also become Dragonborn. And Warforged seems to be one of the best base-race for Dragonborn as only "Light...

Stoneskin spell says, Now, when a character has DRs from multiple sources, how shall I count the damage "prevented" by Stoneskin? #Example 1 A sorcerer casts Stoneskin on a Warforged PC with Adamantine Plating (DR2/adamantine). Since only the highest DR is applied, that warforged now has...

Yeah. But while two Weapon Focus feats costs 2 feat slots, an Exotic Weapon Proficiency plus Weapon Focus also costs 2 feat slots. And most PCs have other better feats to take than to take specific weapon feats. So, it seems that only a pure (or almost pure) fighters will be benefited from it...

In addition to that FAQ, Races of Wild shows various Mithral armors as simply one category lighter than the usual version. I mean, Mithral Breastplate is categorized as a light armor in that book. I believe RAI is that mithral and similar special materials actually change the category of armors.

I always dislike to lose equipments, in any editions of D&D. And had never let PCs fall in such a fate when I DM. Equipments, especially those of a long-played character, are not just a pile of wealth but part of that character's history. As a player, if my DM do such a thing, I would rather...

From those descriptions I imagined some kind of large-sized dragon-man. D&D Efreets don't have tail. And their faces are more or less human-like (or at least, monstrous-human-like). And their legs are like those of human.

Game-mechanic-wise, are there any reason for using a double weapon over a two-handed-weapon plus armor spike? It seems that the latter combination is far much better in damage output.

Are there any reason for not taking Limited Wish? You can copy really a lot of spells with it, including Heal (see the class spell list of Adept NPC class.

No standard class. But there are several prestige classes. Elemental Savant (for both arcane and divine casters/Complete Arcane) Bonded Summoner (for arcane casters/Miniatures Handbook) You can become or take the form of a chosen elemental at the end of those prestige classes. Also, there is...

Dragonkin is a large-sized half-dragon-like monstrous humanoid with 7 racial HDs and LA of +2. Quite a playable race at higher level. You may give him a level of some martial class and a level of Sorcerer, then proceed to Abjurant Champion of some other fighter/mage class. Then use Fire Shield...

As a start, I'd make it an on the fly caster class just like Warmage or Beguiler. That will at least make it a capable healer. Still, it is just a pure heal-bot. Maybe good for a cohort. But I wonder how many players actually want to play it.

Well, after playing 3.Xe for about 10 years, I am ashamed to ask such a basic question. But in 3.5e rules, should a wall created by a spell, especially one without any thickness, occupy squares? Or should it be placed along the grid lines? I have searched for that information through PHB...

When a rule, say, Knowledge Devotion feat, says "damage roll" (not "weapon damage roll"), what kind of rolls are included? Does that include rolls for determining damages of spell, spell-like abilities, super natural abilities and such?

Thank you all for replies. It seems that all the good things are in Dragon. Are there something in rulebooks?

Hmm.. using UMD for using a Runstaff with spells not in one's class spell list. Maybe not for a pure Duskblade. But an interesting idea indeed.

For a pure cleric character, 1) All the Cleric X spells 2) Spells in the domain spell lists of the domains he actually has Are in his class spell list. So, your cleric need to have the Air Domain (or any other domain which has Control Winds in it's domain spell list) to activate that spell...

If you happen to have some skill ranks in tumble, taking at least a level of Dragonslayer in Draconomicon could be a good idea. Aura of Courage gives you immunity to fear and that is certainly useful for a warrior type. By the way, what is the alignment of your fighter?

Everybody know that immediate magic alternative class feature (especially abrupt jaunt) is too good. But one of my friends want to play a non-specialist Elven Wizard anyway. But Familiar is not so good for a eleven mage, especially if he wants to take some prestige class later. Are there some...

Thank you all for replies. Sand Shaper seems to be interesting. The heritage feats seems interesting, too. Though I have to discuss with members of my playgroup before accepting something from Dragon. I have checked the rules and FAQ regarding Runestaff and Extra Spell. And it seems that both...

Thank you again. It seems that I can make a Beast Wars-like warforged fighter-mage.;)
