    Why is armor less emphasized?

    I was playing around with concepts the other day trying to make a character based around having a sort of family artifact armor. In short order I realized that while there's a ton of classes, feats, and PrCs based around a special weapon, there aren't any (that I noticed anyway, I'm sure...

    Core Only Gish?

    In a game I'm playing we've been told we're going to be in a tournament, with teams of 4 players competing against each other. The GM has stated that Roleplaying will not earn anything so I've decided to try to build something as strong as I can. Characters are level 15, 32 point buy...

    Savage Species is Broken?

    I just had a GM apply a +1 more LA to my monstrous creature (the game is ECL 3) because he "knows Savage Species, and all the Broken stuff in it." When I asked him what was broken he statted up an anthropomorphic baleen whale with the feral and mineral warrior templates to show how broken...

    What Races are worth their LA?

    The Vampire thread got me thinking on this. What LA+ races or templates are actually worth the penalties of hitdice, saves, skills, etc. and for what classes do they work? I'd put forward the Pixie as a possible candidate. Small Size, somewhat weak DR and Spell Resistance, fast flight speed...

    Orcs vs. Commoner Humans

    I was putting together a low-power game scenario the other day in which a key event would be two dozen orcs (Bog standard ones) attacking and slaughtering (Unless the PC's helped) a villiage of around 50 human commoners. Just one problem, when I ran the numbers I realized the Orcs were going to...
