    (Feedback greatly needed) Custodian of the Dodecahedron

    Some of you may remember the germ idea for this prestige class back in this thread, wherein Nifft actually produced a fun 5-level prestige class. Things have changes ALOT since then. The following are the Custodian envisioned as a prestige class, and as a base class, respectively: Alignment...

    Full BAB Psionic Base Class: Attuned Warrior

    As the title describes, this class was inspired by Tectorman's idea for creating a full-BAB psionic class. His creation, found on the WotC boards, was based on the ranger, but I got the idea for a rage-like psionic ability, around which I created a full barbarian-inspired base class. Balanced...

    Critiquing a spiked shield fighter

    Hi all, I'm just looking for helpful criticisms and suggestions for a character I just recently planned out and started playing. The group I'm playing with does not have any other players focusing on combat optimization, and the DM is running some basic modules for low-level characters, so I'm...

    Fimblywhatsit - No longer just an annoying word stuck in your head!

    GreatLemur saw some merit to the Fimblywhatsit I made up to demonstrate a balanced Powerful Build at LA+0 in another thread. Because attention and approval are my sole goals in posting to these boards, I expanded the race as an excuse to start my own thread. Lemur also drew my attention to the...

    Archer capitalizing on a stat-roll windfall

    In http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=183646 I asked for information to help me build a fun to play archer to start at 5th level. I did things somewhat backward, deciding upon a fighter 2/ rogue 3 with a crossbow before rolling my stats. The advantage of such a build would be that...

    Half-elf paragons: worth it for an archer?

    I am charged with replacing my fun but woefully weak 5th-level character. The party encounters combat frequently, but we are owners (with escorts) of a lucrative iron mine in a somewhat untamed land, so shady business deals are also frequent. I'd like my character creation choices to reflect a...

    An unusual druid build.

    I've been toying with the idea of a non-shaping, non-summoning druid recently, ignoring the need for extra character sheets. I figure it would be fun to cut this very powerful class down at the knees, then think of creative ways to build its power back up to respectable heights. Now, it need...

    Order of the Dodecahdron Initiate

    I miss the d12 and I'm out to have a little fun. Who's with me? Our goal is to brainstorm every possible way to use a d12 for a class' special abilities. I'm hoping to come up with enough d12 goodness to fill out a complete 20-level base class, but a PrC will work out alright if necessary...

    New Geomancer Drift attributes

    Let's see if we can do some brainstorming... I have been playing a Geomancer, and looking for some good Drift options in addition to the base list offered in Complete Divine. There are 5 levels of drift that progress to 5th level through the 10 levels of the Geomancer PrC. The first level has...

    An Auto-bow and an exotic Polearm

    This thread exists in the interests of not hijacking Asmor's thread, providing a picture of my own multi-shot bow as per Jeraldo's request, and leaving room to even include another weapon. J, here's my crossbow: It's incomplete, obviously. I drew much of the design by hand, and needed AutoCAD...

    Elymasti (reworked)

    Ok, I would necro my old thread in which I first posted this race, but it's buried in the archives by now (thread #556 last I checked, 9/19, 09:30 GMT). I've been on a racial paragon kick recently, and got the idea to make one for my old race the Elymasti, to address the issue that most people...

    Arcane Tussler as a base class

    You may remember the Arcane Tussler PrC I came up with and posted here not too long ago. I've slightly revised it such that now it looks like this: +----------------+ | Arcane Tussler | +----------------+ Concept: The Arcane Tussler is blessed with both innate arcane powers and a measure of...

    To avoid stepping on another Cleric's toes...

    You're in for a small story and an insight into how I create character ideas before you hit the meat of this thread. Please bear with me here ;) How I thought through the character design: I'm playing in a campaign at the moment, which started at 3rd level and will likely climb to 12th or so...

    Un-breaking Divine Metamagic, any way we can

    I've become interested in the concept of divine metamagic, and for the past week have been slogging through the literally hundreds of pages of text that can be found discussing it in just this forum. I've come to 2 important conclusions: 1) I've already spent WAYYY too much time on this...

    Warmage Edge and Arcane Strike

    If I had a warmage/swashbuckler with the Arcane Strike feat, could the Warmage Edge and Insightful Strike be simultaniously applied to a single blow with a melee finesse weapon and its Arcane Strike-enhanced magic component? The Insightful Strike would most definitely apply, adding my Int bonus...

    Arcane Tussler PrC

    Here you go! Most of what I could say about this is found under "Concept:" but I'd like to point out that I already know an unarmed-attacking spellcaster in an odd dichotomy. I like roleplaying characters with twists and turns in their lives, so I tend to make PrCs with some interesting...

    Elymasti, an arctic bird/reptile people

    Here's a race I fleshed out pretty thoroughly a few years ago, so it's a helluva long read if you don't skip over the descriptive section (I wrote this like an entry in the PH). I loved it to death at the time. I'd say despite the flying ability, it's not worthy of a +1 LA, but I'll leave that...
