    There's No Wrong Way to Roleplay

    This is not a poll, but I'd be interested to see what others think. My assertion is that you can't roleplay incorrectly, in terms of making decisions for your character regarding morality, ethics, or quests. Your character is your own creation. You designed him or her and any action you feel is...

    Sneak Attack Clarification Please

    How does Sneak Attack work under RAW 3.5? 1. A rogue with 2 weapon fighting that attacks an opponent denied his dexterity bonus (either opponent is flat-footed or being flanked) adds sneak attack damage for each attack that hits, correct? 2. A rogue with iterative attacks that attacks an...

    Can Hammer be used in conjunction w/ Unarmed Strike?

    Quick rules questions: 1. Can the hammer power (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/psionic/powers/hammer.htm ) be used in conjunction with an unarmed strike? So, swift and 1 pp to activate Hammer, then Standard to attack. If the attack roll misses, it appears the pp was wasted as it only lasts 1 round...

    Save the Goblin, Kill your Friend?

    Just posting the details of a recent game session, looking for feedback of all kinds (yeah, its long). The party is given a mercenary quest to go a few weeks north and unearth some ruins which contain a book which we are to dig up and retrieve for our patron. During our short stay in the town...

    A Fighter/Barbarian/StormTalon

    I've never played a dedicated fighter/tank role in d&d. I usually opt for the magic guy, the rogue-ish guy, the 5th wheel (go bards and monks!), or if I have to, the cleric (which is a bit of a tank, but my last cleric was 8 years ago). Anyway, please critique my build ideas and feel free to...

    What do you think of dying at level 1?

    So yesterday my group began a new campaign set in a homebrew campaign. We had 32 point-buy and free license to use just about anything ever published for 3.5 by WotC. I have a bit of a monk fetish but noticed the Ninja class and came up with an interesting concept. My character was a young...

    Starting HP House Rule

    So on the way to my first game as a DM in a long time I was thinking about how to make 1st level characters more survivable. I really like Star Wars Saga Edition's take, by granting 3 full HD at 1st level, but I think it's a bit much for D&D. I read about wound points, granting Con as hp for...

    Balanced Race? Judge the 'Perfects'

    The Perfects The Perfects were magically engineered from human stock during great wars long ago. They were stronger, faster, tougher, smarter, more perceptive, and more strong-willed than a regular human. While at first Perfect Soldiers and Magic-Users died at a similar rate to humans, over...

    Spellcasting Class Ability Modifier

    My proposal is to allow each character to pick his spellcasting attribute, with the caveat that it must be a 'mental' attribute (Int, Wis, or Cha). This means you can play an Intelligence-based Cleric, a Charisma-based Wizard, or a Wisdom-based Sorcerer (or other variations). 1. What balance...

    [d20 Modern] Brawl and Combat Martial Arts?

    Hi, just need some clarification on how unarmed combat is supposed to work in d20 modern. This is how I think it works: Unarmed: 1d3+str, provokes AoO, nonlethal Unarmed with Brawl: +1 to hit, 1d6+str, provokes AoO, nonlethal Unarmed with Combat Martial Arts: 1d4+str, does not provoke AoO...

    D&D Tactics Sounds Good!

    http://www.gamespot.com/psp/strategy/dungeonsdragonstactics/news.html?sid=6170297&tag=gumballs;img;1 Coming for the PSP, lets you create 6 characters and seems to adhere to 3e rules pretty well. And it has Psions and Psychic Warriors as character options!

    Soulknife as a PrC (1.0)

    I'm playing a psionic character in an upcoming eberron campaign and the DM doesn't think the soulknife is a good class to multiclass with psion. Personally I always liked the Soulknife as a PrC rather than a base class, so I've decided to try and cook something up. I did check out Nifft's...

    Am I gonna make it past 20th level?

    Hey, just thought I'd try and get some input on my latest PC. My concept is a Soulknife/Nomad (Psionic character through and through). Ideally I would like to fulfill that elusive fighter/magic-user role, though my magic will be focused on telelportation-like powers. Campaign starts at level 2...

    Chime in on this Base Class (Elven Sidestepper)

    This is a new base class my friend created for his campaign. The class is being used by the DM of the campaign to create interesting adversaries, but he hopes to make it theoretically balanced for PC's. Any of the idiosyncracies you can assume he's aware of (like, a base class with a racial...

    Would you roll the d4 if...

    [This is just my curiousity more than anything (I'm not starting a game planning on doing this, just curious over what people think).] For the new campaign your DM has decided to let everyone start at level 2, with one caveat. You can start as high as 3rd level or as low as 1st if you roll a...

    Eberron Weretouched Master (Bear)

    Just wondering if anyone has played with the PrC Weretouched Master in the Ebberon CS. Specifically, I'm curious about the Alternate Form ability. It seems to say that you can gain +16 Str, +2 Dex, and +8 Con [Bear] or +12 Str, +4 Dex, +6 Con [Tiger]. The problem is while it says this ability is...

    Character Challenge: Attack + AC = MAX

    For fun I thought I would post a challenge for anyone who digs such things. Its not a straight-up challenge because there are some wacky requirements (to hopefully make it fun). Here goes: 12th level Character Challenge Paranoid Parker plays a paranoid Human Archer (named Seth the Suspicious)...

    Building a Duelist...

    Hi, I'm trying to build a duelist (as the PrC) since I've always wanted to and it looks like I may have the chance. There are a couple conditions: 1. I'm playing a human male (age 36, so -1 Str, Dex, Con and +1 Int, Wis, and Cha) 2. I don't have my stats and they will be rolled 4d6, drop...
