Hello, folks. My gaming career started with 3E and i don't know much about previous editions except from older computer games. I would like to try out an older edition, but i am somewhat overwhelmed by sheer numbers of those. 1Ed, Blue box, Basic set, AD&D, AD&D2, Rules cyclopedia... These all...

Been reading the "skill list gone in wrong direction" thread and it gave me some very sound ideas. What if instead of a default list of skills, backgrounds would rather encompass your area of expertise. If a skill check is connected to character's area of expertise, he rolls d20+ability mod as...

Let's rework AC and AR. Armor should probably help characters survive the blows, not dodge them. So make armors Damage Reduction only items (maybe add some protection from elemental damage.. or not). Now let's rename Armor class as Defense in order not to get confused, for armors now won't...

i'm planning to run a homebrew module for my buddies, all long-time D&D players. naturally i wanted to try something new and surprise them. for a while now i wanted to pay a tribute to one of my all-time favourite movies "7 samurai" and run a low-level and low-magic "defend the castle" module...

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...

for those who didn't watch that crap - it's about a professional killer who reflexively shed tears after each and every killing. not that i was a big fan but this build just resembles Freeman perfectly. here it is. Hellbred (spirit) hexblade 4/ binder 3/ KotSS 5 Patron Vestige (Focalor)...

normally i wouldn't lose cleric levels when i'm a primary healer, but this time we had 2 clerics in a party so i decided to try something new for a change. so far it's 10th lvl. cleric 4/warlock 1/ED 5. stats: Str 14 Dex 10 Con 14 Int 10 Wis 18 Cha 14 domains - protection and travel...

hello, guys. i've currently started playing a shadowdancer-wannabe ninja. but i'm not sure of the best way to enter the PrC. the obvious option would be to go ninja 7/SD X. on the other hand ninja 4/ranger 2/dread commando 1/SD X seems a lot more combat oriented and viable. what do you guys say...

so... i've noticed that one is kinda popular among warlords. why do you guys think it doesn't suck? okay, it's an immidiate action and it doesn't use up a HS. but it only grants so much HP. like with my 18 Cha i can only whip up some meager 4 temporary HPs. might be worth it on 1st lvl, but...

what if i want to create a 5-th level chatacter? how much money would he have from the start? there was a table in 3e DMG but i can't seem to find anything similiar in 4e books.

what if i want to make a functional wereboar PC? what i get using MM rules is a steaming pile of crap. 1 lvl wereboar fighter is ECL 7. he is a real disgrace for his level. any variant rules for lycanthropes out there?

[long story] this is an NPC. an elite subterranean assassin. being a goblinoid is a prereq for this PrC so his race selection is pretty much limited. hobgoblins just suck, their +1 LA is soo unfair comparing to other +1 LA races like tieflings that it make every DM cry. same with arctic goblins...

as per topic's title i need ideas for a fake wizard's familiar. the details: i'm gonna trade my wizard's familiar for UA variant feature. but i want to have some kind of a pet for flavour purposes. obtain familiar feat and other ways to get a real familiar won't do, cuz i actually want it to be...

i want to bring more tolkienish flavour into my next game so i'm looking for a really powerful elf race variant. couldn't find anything good in the books i've got so i'm asking for your advice. any homebrew variants are also welcome. it just needs to represent the tremendous power accumulated by...

i know that i'm not creating something unique here. it's intended to be a standard beguiler X/mindbender 1 build. but i need an advice to optimize it. are my stats ok for a spellcasting beguiler? do my feats suck? did i allocate skill points right? what about equipment? what spell to take for...

So this is yet another character concept for an upcoming campaign in faerun. A Zhentarim beguiler employed as a spy in Waterdeep. ECL: 6, so i'm thinking of going entirely beguiler or beguiler 5/mindbender 1 for cool telepathy feature which seems to work greatly with my concept of puppetmaster...

i'm about to take part in a campaign based on FR. chances are that most of the time the party is going to stay in Waterdeep. ECL: 6. Characters are supposed to be rugged mercenaries. maybe veteran soldiers, pirates or thugs. i thought of the dread commando - is it even viable in faerun? and what...

what are the benefits of being dragon type? what class/feat/spell choises are good for such character?

most DMs here rule that if you take a monster race for your character, you should not only add LA, but Racial hit dice as well. like if you want to create a 5 lvl fighter and choose gnoll race you must not only add +1 for LA, but also +2 for gnoll's humanoid levels. but i can not find where it...
