I'd go with: Warblade 8 (or Fighter 8) Cleric 8 Wizard 8 Alternative, if the campaign requires a rogue: Warblade 8 (or Fighter 8) Rogue 1/Cloistered Cleric 7 (with the Able Learner [RoD] feat) Wizard 8

That's how I read it. And I'm not even a Lovecraft fan :p

I think it's fairly clear the 4e paladin smites are actually a lot like 3e spells. All three listed in the WotC article are resolved through Charisma attacks, which means they're guided by something else than physical strength. On second thought they could be a combination of 3.5 smite and...

My list of expectations for the 4e includes: fixing skills(merging of some skills, removing others, etc. in general, I hope the skill system resembles that in SWSE) reducing the amount of magic items, as well as the characters' dependence on them, and (hopefully) fixing item creation process...

I hope they're aiming for a game with only light to moderate amount of planning. In my group of seven (six players and the DM), we've got two guys that love to plan their characters from level 1 to level 20 (although we never got higher than level 13 :p), two like to know how their character...

Thanks a lot, folks! :)

It's a bit of an odd question, but hopefully someone can help :) When pre-ordering things from Amazon.com (say, oh... 4e core books ;)), when do they charge your credit card -- immediately, or when the items are ready to be shipped? A friend wants to pre-order 4e books, but some odd wording in...

The information he provided in that thread was spot-on.

I don't mind dragonborn in the PH as a core race (even though I might not use them in my games), but if it turns out gnomes were dropped in favour of the fancy humanoid lizards, I'll be upset. Of course, me being upset really won't make any kind of difference, but still :\

I never played "pure" 1e, but when I got into the game we used a mix-and-match of 1e and 2e core rulebooks (1e DMG and UA, 2e PHB and Tome of Magic, 1e and 2e MM, 1e MM2 and FF). I miss the feel of the game, but feel is somewhat difficult to put into words, and most of the points I want to...

Thanks.

Thanks, Hypersmurf. Missed that bit. That will teach me not to rely on my memory :p :) Best regards. EDIT: Would you mind listing the page number where that quote can be found? I've skimmed through the DMG (particularly around p. 26), but couldn't find the reference. And I'd like to be...

Thanks for the replies, folks! :) And, by the way, I am the DM in the group ;) The question really dealt with semantics. As far as I can remember, the "extra" damage, like sneak attack or skirmish damage, is always defined as, well, extra damage. And in the hideous blow description it's...

Most of the people I played with graduated from (or were attending at some point in time) the Faculty of Electrical Engineering. That's where the geeks gather ;) I, OTOH, have got a degree in marine fisheries (well, actually, I'll have it in less than a month :P)

If a warlock using the hideous blow invocation with his melee weapon scores a critical hit, is the damage from the eldritch blast also multiplied according to the weapon's critical modifier? Say a 5th-level warlock scores a critical with his dagger, would the damage be (1d4 + Str)x2 plus 3d6...

Well, your PCs are theguests in the town, and you're clearly not showing much respect to your hosts. Your PCs are mercenaries -- you get paid (hospitality in the town) for a service (destroy the vampire nest). The town has been reduced to a sanctified keep by vampires. The militiamen are...

In order to put any kind of magic ability on a weapon, it has to already be magical, meaning it must have a (magic) enhancement bonus of at least +1. Regards.

Those remain my absolutely favourite (A)D&D fiction. None of the novels can ever hope to match that. Besides, Sick Sword could quarter Drizzt anytime :p

Oh... missed that. Thanks!

I'm thinking the ninja is Haley. She has the same pony-tail. Vaarsuvius and Durkon can't locate Haley, Belkar, or Roy's Body. I bet that's because they've been turned into someone (or something) else -- could be they're undead (that ninja is kind of undead-green in colour), and we know her...
