Well if we are going for style: Halfling Warlock 10 with Greater Chasuble of Fell Power: See the Unseen, Eldritch Spear, Fell Flight, Flee the Scene, Eldritch Chain, one other least invocation. I had a ball with this character type! Human Crusaders are fun and can actually tank, which is...

For what it is worth, Dwarves are listed as Lawful Neutral in Castles and Crusades.

I think there is one that "becomes" a vessel of bahamaut, whatever they start as. I think the psionic race Elan start as something else and transform. There is the Hellspawn or something, sort of a redeemed bad guy hit the reset button race. None of the above keep any of the stats of their...

If a treant (with 2 natural attacks - slams) elects to use only one natural attack (and no other attacks) in a combat round, does the treant add 1.5x the strength bonus or still use only 1x the strength bonus?

To the OP: It is fun. You might have to watch out for "spamming the battefield with Astral Constructs" but Complete Psionic put in a rule that said that unless there was a special exception you could only have one running around at a time. In general, Astral Constructs are tougher than...

I have ignored this class in the past, but now I am rereading Complete Adventurer and am somewhat intrigued with the Spellthief. It would never be a powerhouse, but it could be fun in the right sort of game. So for those that have played one (or played in a game with someone else playing one)...

I don't need the extra skills for my character concept, I also don't want UMD (I'm deliberately trying to avoid magic stuff here - if that doesn't make sense to you, pretend that the setting is an anti-magic setting), and I already have sneak attack and access to feats such as Craven and...

Because the Swashbuckler 16/Rogue 4 has BAB 19, which is higher (better still, he gets an additional +2 to hit when flanking once he gets high enough level). He also has more hp so is more survivable in meelee.

I was thinking of a human rogue 4/swashbuckler 16, going for the swashbuckler athletic skills (adding in spot/listen/hide/move silently for the rogue. feats are pretty standard: combat reflexes, two weapon fighting, weapons finesse, daring outlaw (lets you stack sneak attack damage with...

If a character is fighting with 2 weapons and someone else provokes an Attack of Opportunity from that character, does the character still have a penalty on that attack roll from fighting with 2 weapons? To make it simple, lets assume that the character has Two-Weapon Fighting and is using a...

Fair enough. But if all X's had the eldritch blast would that make the game setting more like the fake Wild West as portrayed in movies and videogames?

If you like Beguiler as "mage/thief done right" I would recommend you look again at Duskblade as "fighter/mage done right" also in the PHB II. I also think that the Knight is worth a look as a tank that isn't too far off the beaten track (also in the PHB II) And Warlock has obvious advantages...

Wait, so a Treant could be beheaded, but would just keep on fighting (perhaps fighting blind depending on which way that the head was facing?). Or is the head just for decoration and the decapitated treant would see just fine without the head?

I guess part of what I am going for is a "no paperwork magic-user". Mainly a blaster/sniper, but I don't want to have to keep track of spell slots, spell points, X's per day, item creation, etc. Just plug and play. I would like to be non-evil if possible.

Hmmm. Robert Heinlein could write a story about this. Would people all develop a code of extreme politeness? Or would it be more like the Wild West? I assume SR would be rather valuable.

CG Human Level 1-6 Warlock, 7-8 Enlightened Spirit (1-2), 9 Binder 1, 10-12 Hellfire Warlock (1-3), 13-20 Enlightened Spirit (3-10). Feats: Spell Penetration, Greater Spell Penetration, Arcane Mastery, and all the rest Extra Invocation (which will get a big pile of Least Invocations). Using...

a) Trying to see how a world would be different if all members of a major race, without exception, had a level of Warlock for "free" (doesn't affect their xp progression, etc.). I don't mean how players would abuse it. I mean how would the average D&D style setting be affected if, say, all...

Based on what others on the net have complained of, mainly. My games tend to be quite low-level so it is not usually an issue. One minor idea is someday running with the "magic starts as not real and becomes more real as one gets more powerful" so that leads into the "illusions only" idea too...

Replace Cleric with Healer Ban Druids Allow only spells of the school of illusion for Wizards and Sorcerors. Assuming we are using core classes only (well except for the Healer), would this work to stop the full-casters from dominating high-level play?

Gray Elves from the MM get +2 Int and are LA +0. Nice boost for Wizard types and others that base power off of Int.
