    4th Edition: portable?

    So, for those more in the know than myself, what are the chances that our military boys and girls are going to get a soft-backed, portable version of the core books this time around? Cause lemme tell ya, those weight restrictions are a BEAST. :heh:

    Arthur C Clark Dies, Age 90

    I hate to be the one to bear bad news, but this community would want to know asap. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/23697230

    Healing Feats

    I'm building a character for a campaign, and I'm looking for ways to boost the CL of my cure spells. Some background: I'm a lvl2 warlock/lvl3 Healer (miniatures handbook)/lvl1 Eldritch Theurge. I know I'll be taking Touch of Healing (+1 caster level and out of combat healing), Practiced...

    Playing a Healer

    So, thanks to lazybones, I'm thinking of running a Healer in a new campaign. Does anyone have any experience with them, or suggestions on what to do so I don't feel COMPLETELY useless when there's no healing to be done.

    Public Dorkery

    So, my DM got contacted by a reporter from the St. Petersburg Times a week or so ago, who wondered if she could sit in on a session for an article she was writing. Hilarity ensued. http://www.sptimes.com/2007/05/21/Floridian/Who_you_calling_a_dor.shtml

    Glass of Power.

    Would it be possible to make a staff (say, a staff of power) out of some alternate material? Glass, for example? And if so, what would happen, were you to block an attack from a sword with said Glass Staff of Power? Assuming the staff would shatter, who would be responsible for breaking it, and...

    Hyena-Chucks

    Ok, so here's the situation. I'm playing an Orcish Dragon Disciple. As you might imagine, I have an incredibly high strength, and a decent BaB. I also enjoy the occasional use of Enlarge Person. Since it's only a -20 to grapple things with only one hand, I found myself with a total +1 modifier...

    Melee Wizards!

    I'm considering joining the local Living Greyhawk game, and started thinking about bizzare builds, so I'd not likely step on other's toes, and I began considering how to make a Melee focused character who was straight Wizard. Does anyone have any suggestions on this score? EDITED TO EXPLAIN...

    Spring Attack question.

    A monk uses spring attack to run up to a collosal creature, punch it in the jimmy, and then run away. I was recently rereading Spring Attack, and it looks like the monk should suffer no attacks of opportunity, as per RAW, even though he's running through a large number of threatened squares...

    Fly question.

    So, here is a novel interpretation of the Fly spell I recently encountered. My character, trying to be circumspect, cast fly on himself, and then walked to the encounter, ready to take off if need be. The GM said that the Fly spell is cancelled when you touch down, so such a tactic would be...

    War(locks), what is it good for?

    Hey guys! Having never played a 'lock before, I thought I'd ask everyone what there opinions on the class was. The do's, the don'ts, and what have you. Do those incantations have a spell/day limit? How do they match up, survivability-wise? If set on fire, do they smell nice? I crave your opinions!

    Gestalt Tank Build

    I was just thinking about fun builds for a gestalt game I am playing in (my poor pally/sorc failed his will save vs. bodak stare). I was thinking of going Fighter/Warlock, and picking up Battle Caster (mithral full-plate ftw) and the Fey Touched feats, specifically Fey Skin. Does anyone else...

    Tank builds

    Ok, I'm thinking of making a straight up hard to kill tank type character for a campaign I'm in. Sincle only the core classes are availible, I'm thinkin a Dwarven Pally is going to win, hands down. Great saves, and TONS of HP, as well as an easier time in full-plate+tower shield make for a good...

    Charisma modifier FTW!

    I'm building a bard, and I seemed to remember that there was some way of using a stat other than Con to determine extra HP. So I started rooting around in the completes, and found a few nifty items, and now I'm trying to think of more and more ways of having the Charisma do my heavy lifting. I'm...

    Greater Teleport+Summon Elder Earth Elemental=???

    Say you use Summon Monster 9 to summon an Elder Earth Elemental. Then you command it to roll into a ball. Then you cast Greater Teleport to get it (and yourself, but you have featherfall to deal with such things) above your opposition. What happens? Also, in case I end up running an epic game...

    Best Mount EVAR!

    Ok, assume that the GM has allowed one to build a Pally/Druid gestalt at level 5 (he allows lawful neutral Pallys). Can I make my Pally Mount my Animal Companion? And if so, do the bonuses stack?

    Whip it good!

    Ok, I'm looking into making a whip based character, but am unsure as to how to proceed in such a way that he is actually combat effective. Would Whirlwind Attack be effective? How does one make a whip that does ACTUAL damage? Is that actually how one spells actual? 'Cause it looks wrong. I know...

    Hobbit in a bag: The trouble with extradimensional spaces

    You tackle a halfling and shove him in your bag of holding. Then you use your dagger to pop said bag. What happens to the halfling? Alive? Dead? Lost in another dimension? If so, which? How hard, precisely, would it be to reverse the condition?

    LA + Reincarnate = Whaaa?

    Ok, an lvl7 Ogre (+2 LA) Sorcerer dies, his buddies use Reincarnate and bring him back as a human. Now, what level is he?

    How can I get divine grace as a cleric?

    Is there any way to get divine grace as a cleric? I can't really think of anything, but I wanted to ask in case you guys had an Idea. Which you usually do, you smart people you!
