    D&D 3.x 3.5: newb needs a little help with Hellfire Warlock build

    Actually you can but you don't use the Empower Spell feat, you use the Empower Spell-like Ability feat (I think in the MM). So 3x/day, you can Empower it if your caster level is high enough. Eldritch Blast (unmodified) is a 1st level spellike ability (per the FAQ), but I don't know about...

    Helping a friend out.

    For flavour, she might look at the dwarf racial class (3 levels) in Unearthed Arcana, or possibly Dwarven Defender in the DMG, but assuming that she wants to go pure dwarf fighter I would KISS for the first character. 1. p. attack, cleave. 2. w. focus dwarven war ax (or greatax) 3. Iron Will...

    D&D 3.x 3.5: newb needs a little help with Hellfire Warlock build

    The reason it is disputed is the thought that, if the Con damage is prevented, then the hellfire doesn't activate. That is why it is less controversial to go for items and abilities that heal con damage. p.90: "Because the diabolical fores behind the power of hellfire demand part of your...

    Need A Class Idea

    With that intelligence you might consider Warblade, which is like a fighter but better, with more skills and more flashy stuff you can do. Tome of Battle: The Book of Nine Swords has details on it. hell it even has some grapply stuff if you take some Stone Dragon maneuvers.

    Help With A Pirates Campaign

    If they work for a Royal, wouldn't they technically be Privateers rather than Pirates? :) Anyhow, mermaids riding sharks attacking the ship could be cool

    Class Help

    If you are going rogue/swashbuckler then due to favoured class experience point penalty rules I would recommend goblin, half-elf, human or halfling.

    Need some class suggestions/builds, evil DM.

    Not if the DM kills his character, as the OP is worried about. So can the wizard 5/incantrix 1 weather that storm?

    Need some class suggestions/builds, evil DM.

    The OP is only going to be level 6. So how does Wizard 5/Incantrix 1 stack up?

    Mechanical Alignment: How Well Does it Work?

    The Book of Exalted Deeds has various feats and prestige classes based on those feats. Those feats (and prestige class abilities) go away if the player does something non-good, non-heroic, similar to how paladins can lose their class abilities. Maybe have the characters forced to use those...

    D&D 3.x Assassin (Swordsage / Warblade) advice (3.5)

    Well if you have more feats anyhow, maybe go Warblade all the way and get some shadow maneuvers (and the assassin's stance) via a feat?

    How is the Wizard vs Warrior Balance Problem Handled in Fantasy Literature?

    In Jonathan Strange and M. Norrell magic is very powerful but subject to social control. But that depends on having a society like that (and in a game on having PCs like that).

    Death, should i let it be final

    Bring him back but roleplay him seeking to have bad memories removed (a crude method of psychotherapy, but D&D is not big on such so for example the "modify memory" spell may have to do). Then he can focus on the missions at hand. Partly this is due to how others would see the character and...

    Need some class suggestions/builds, evil DM.

    All wotc books are fair game? My my. "Races of Eberron" has the Warforged Race, which mixes well with Adamantine Body feat and the Psion class from the "Expanded Psionics Handbook". I haven't tried it, but I have heard that a human with vow of poverty (from book of exalted deeds) that then...

    D&D 3.x [3.5] Would a half-dragon treant still have plant traits?

    Basically, my character got reincarnated in a wacky place. Actually I just came back as a "regular" treant but half-dragon was an option on the DM's table and I was curious as to what that would have meant. Another player's character came back as a half-dragon centaur (100' flight speed for...

    D&D 3.x [3.5] Would a half-dragon treant still have plant traits?

    I think I read somewhere that immunities overwrite vulnerabilities but alas I cannot remember where. Didn't find anything while looking at the d20 SRD but did find this: "Unless a template indicates otherwise, the new creature has the traits of the new type but the features of the original...

    D&D 3.x [3.5] Would a half-dragon treant still have plant traits?

    It would be a baseless psychological fear, as fire-breathing half-dragons are conveniently immune to fire. :)

    D&D 3.x [3.5] Would a half-dragon treant still have plant traits?

    On the one hand the character type changes to "dragon". On the other hand the half-dragon template says that a half-dragon has all the special qualities of the base creature, and a special quality of the treant is "plant traits", which include some nice immunities. So are those plant traits...

    Time Magic

    I would assume a lot of the divination spells that have to do with knowing the future, like augury?
