One option is to take three feats to use a longsword as both a weapon and implement: weapon proficiency (longsword) melee training (intelligence) arcane implement proficiency or swordmage multiclass (heart of the blade or blade initiate) Any other options? Thanks. -Gak Toid

I received a PS3 for Christmas and I am looking for a cooperative (action) RPG. Something like Gauntlet or D&D Heroes. Any recommendations? Thanks. -Gak Toid

The title says it all. I'm relinquishing my role as DM for a chance at playing on the other side of the screen. The party needs a controller (level 3) and we're limiting our book selection to the PHB only. The builds and suggestions I see online always rely on feats/powers/paths from other...

I build myself a new PC about every 4 years. It's time to replace my aging Athlon and DX8 video card with something a little more modern. I'm not interested in overclocking or a dual video card setup. The primary uses will be gaming (World of Warcraft, Half-Life 2, etc) and software development...

I'm putting together a parts list to build myself a new PC. The one part that I have the most trouble picking out is the case. Perhaps I'm too picky or there are too many choices, but I can never seem to find one that fits my needs. My needs: * mid-tower ATX case * any color/material (as long...

My AthlonXP 2400+ system is finally on its last legs (2nd hard drive to die in less than a year and I don't want to buy another PATA drive). I'm building a new system from scratch. I've pretty much settled on the Intel Core 2 Duo E6400 for the CPU. My problem is chipsets. I'm not real sure...

I'm hoping for some help in finding spells that don't do damage. Stun, daze, nauseate...any effect that removes someone from combat, but not direct damage. I'm hoping someone has a spell database that'll allow you to search by effect to make this quick and painless. Does anyone have that type...

I'm building a favored soul as a backup character for CotSQ and I'm not sure how happy I am with the build so far. I'm looking for advice. 32 point buy, 3/4 HP per level I haven't fully equipped him yet, so some of his stats will change slightly. Here's version one: Danris Vesein: Male...

There's a common theory that says loosing caster levels is bad. I'm wondering if the same theory applies to fighters and base attack bonus. Here's a list of ECL 12 characters with different hit dice and level adjustments. All of them are pretty good fighters, but I'm wondering if it's...

My sorcerer/incantrix is turning level 11 soon and I need advice on the new 4 new spells I'm going to be able to pick (1 at each 2, 3, 4, and 5 levels). Here's a brief character summary: Drager Adlinsk Male Human Sor6/Itx4 Str 8(-1), Dex 16(+3), Con 14(+2), Int 12(+1), Wis 10(+0), Cha 24(+7)...

Does anyone have a particular Occult Slayer build that you'd like to share? At 10th level you'll have 4 feats (plus bonus feats from classes), two of which are required for prerequisites (improved initiative, weapon focus). As a 5 level PrC, you'll probably be toward the end of it by 10th...

All power attack, all the time is a fun tactic. But studies have shown that power attack provides its benefit (increased average damage) when used conservatively in small increments. I'm trying to collect a list of things that increase the rate of return for power attack. This way when I boldly...

Well, I finally reinstalled NWN and ordered SoU and HotU. I expect they'll arrive within a week. So, now that I've got all the tools, time to get back into the game. Any hints and tips for someone getting back into 3.0 after playing 3.5? -Gak Toid

STR vs. BAB (a.k.a. Is level adjustment worth it?) I've had a desire to play a half-dragon with wings. Since the Dragon Disciple no longer does this, the only other way would be to play a size large half-dragon. The lowest ECL for a large sized PC is a Half-Ogre. So I started comparing the cost...

Just a general poll/query. What's people's favorite Devoted Defender builds? Combat reflexes and combat expertise seem to be "a must have", so Dex and Int should be 13+. Some ideas: Fighter 5 Cleric 7 Swashbuckler 5 Barbarian 1/Ranger 2/Rogue 2 Fighter 4/Rogue 2 Monk 7 -Gak Toid

After a brutal TPK in CotSQ all six players are creating new characters. One of the major problems we had during the TPK was the inability to control the flow of combat. Liberal use of wall of fire provided some protection, but was not enough. So, I'm considering making a character that...

Multiple Spell Effects (3.5) I did a brief search but couldn't find an answer to my questions. If these have already been answered, feel free to simply post a link. 1) Can someone describe the "sheets of sticky webbing" option that monstrous spiders can use. Specifically, what's the area of...

Maximizing Sneak Attack [3.5] What is the maximum number of sneak attack dice that a character can have by level 20? Rogue 20: 10d6 Rogue 15/Invisible Blade 5: 11d6 If there are two more prestige classes that give sneak attack at odd levels, we can get: Rogue 5/Invisible Blade 5/PrC1 5/PrC2...

What happens to spells made permanent with Permanency when the character dies and is raised? A) The spells cease functioning when the character dies. B) The spells will resume working after the character is raised. -Gak Toid
