    Creating a magic sword: help?

    wow, this sword seems too unbalanced to just sell it for gold. i'd make it a legacy weapon, if i were you. if you do it right, anime kid would also love it - a half-intelligent sword that takes you on a series of quests to fully unleash its powers and lets you attune to it in exchange for a...

    Your Life as a DnD Class

    when i studied in the uni, i used to remind myself of a wizard. i prepared to the exams just like wizards prepare to the encounters: learn overnight, cast, forget, rinse and repeat. now, at my job, i remind myself of a fighter. because i feel like a one-trick pony, drudging through daily...

    D&D 3.x Monk/Rogue leveling & battle advice for 3.5

    if your DM is okay with retraining, i'd go monk/ninja with ascetic stalker instead. this build could really bring you more sneakiness/mobility.

    wiz/sorc/cleric/druid spell lists merged! need help choosing conceptual spells.

    good idea. what if i take Conjure Ice Beast instead? it allows to choose base creatures from druid summon list and applies a template to them. hmm.. not impressed by this spell. agreed. yeah, definetly. which ones do you recommend? i'm thinking of CMW and lesser restoration.

    wiz/sorc/cleric/druid spell lists merged! need help choosing conceptual spells.

    i'm going to play in a Frostfell campaign. my character - Conjurer 5/Frost mage 1. the trick is, the world has no clerics (gods are dead and gone) so wizards get to choose their spells from wizard/sorc, cleric AND druid spell lists! please help me make a good spell list for my wizard. his...

    another question about undeads

    i had almost similiar occurence in one of my own campaigns. only the PC was turned into a vampire involuntary. you might not like my ruling because it's not RAW, but the player seemed to like it a lot. so here goes. vampirism IMC is not a desease and not actually a curse. to become a vampire one...

    Dumb Luck feat from CS actually lets you turn a natural 1 on a save roll into a natural 20 once per day.

    Looking for Epic Level Adventures.

    i've played a few epic modules and i must say that most of them i didn't like at all. it was mostly the same as any other game but we had bloated charsheets and had to battle megademons and demigods. it was kinda crpg'ish and got old fast. although one epic game i liked a lot. it was more...

    Looking for Epic Level Adventures.

    You might want to check out the Elder Evils by robert schwalb. it has some interesting campaign plots along with a few interesting epic foes (like a world born dead or a godslaying beast from far realm).

    Looking for some evil non-cleric healer

    i'm thinking of a twisted champion of some chaotic deity. he is a devoted warrior with a few divine powers bestowed upon him by his deity - some kind of a black knight or witch-king. build is not optimized but it seems easy to run and full of flavour. Paladin of slaughter 8/ Warlock 1/ Eldritch...

    How do you guys handle Snese Motive?

    i actually think that the concept of taking 10 is a very good tool for both DM and players. rolling checks is exciting when it matters: for example tumbling across the battlefield, hanging from the cliff, talking to an important npc (to put it short - in stressful situations). but if you're...

    Level demographics in "your" D&D 3.X

    average conscripts are 1 level commoners as per DMG. average trained soldiers are 1 level warriors. 3 level warrior is more like a corporal or a mercenary captain.

    Wood Elf Ranger->Dread Commando help

    it could work well with HiPS if you take a level of shadowdancer. just imagine, you spring from the shadows, strike the foe (SA and SS applied) and spring back into the shadows. perfect lurking death.

    Running a dragon encounter

    good ideas so far. here's my 5 cent. you could make this dragon a recurring NPC. for example, he is extremely greedy and cunning so his motivation is to receive the maximum gain from the PCs. he hovers over the ship and demands PCs to surrender and hand over all valuables. they refuse and battle...

    Question about a Cleric and a Succubus?

    probably yes. but i think you shouldn't punish your player for your own mistake. you were the one who let him play a demon after all. so now you have to come up with some solution to this. for example the cleric might receive a vision of his deity giving him a holy quest - to convert the fiend...

    Question about a Cleric and a Succubus?

    i think that if you as a DM have no problem with a succubus being a non-evil PC, than your players shouldn't care that much either. dawnbringers are supposed to hate all evil, and demons ARE always evil. but if you've got a neutral demon... i dunno, as a lathanderite i wouldn't turn on a...

    Wood Elf Ranger->Dread Commando help

    i wouldn't expect him to agree if he's an experienced gamer. SS is different from SA for a reason. so making it easier is more like making it cheesier here. dodge and mobility are prereqs for spring attack, a feat that you might consider taking. changing the prereqs to suit your build better...
