Before I begin with the problem, let me start with the backstory to this dilemma... Many years ago I began a very long and exciting campaign with three good friends. Over the course of a few years, one of the friends had to move away and thus we had to fill the void somehow. Of the remaining...

I am about to restart a planar campaign with an old 2e character and so I went to convert him the other day. Everything was going fine until I got to the point where I had to decide what feats would make the most sense for him. Essentially, he is an assassin-esque character, so the choice in...

A friend of mine and I are trying to get a group together or find some people with which to game. We're looking for a Greyhawk, Eberron, or Forgotten Realms. We are both located in and around the Durham area and have a long experience with DnD. If anyone knows of any campaigns ongoing in the...

This thread is reserved specifically for the last part of my Trinity Campaign. You will begin to note some overlap between it and another campaign I'm running sometime in the future: Ravenloft: Beyond the Mists I've included a little background, as I have made a number of changes/additions to...

Let me begin by saying this is one of those Old Skewl threads that got lost after I took a long hiatus from role playing. At the time I was running two simultaneous campaigns that were all interconnected in this massive story arc that was supposed to be finished by the end of college. However...

I need a +2 LA Doppelganger-ish race. The one in the MM lists it at +4, but I cut down a few of the benefits to make it +2: +2 Str, +2 Cha, +2 Con Darkvision 60' +4 NA Alter Self at Will (+10 disguise when using this power) Immunity to Sleep and Charm +4 Sense Motive, Bluff Is this fair or...

Sorry to clog the boards again with yet another thread about character creation, but I've been getting some really good advice;) I am making a 10th lvl Shaper as a backup to the previous character and here are the powers I have chosen (I need some advice about their effectiveness, as I have...

I have recently been allowed to take off my DM mantle for a while and allowed to be a PC for a change. The guy running the new game hasn't given me much, but has told me that our party is in an all out war with demons invading the world. I was wondering if anyone had any good suggestions on...

I was just wondering how to resolve a situation where a creature had multiple attacks and wanted to attempt multiple grapples. For instance, could a giant octopus with improved grab be grapple 6 opponents (assuming it had six attacks)? I remember that in order to attack another opponent, while...

IMO, the psion is supposed to have the advantage of being adaptable to nearly any situation with a limited number of "tricks" he has per day, whereas the wizard is has to plan what he will require to get through the day's events but has many more "tricks" to choose from. This, to me, sounds...

I know this power has been an issue of contension for some time, but I was wondering what people thought on its power level. I realize that this power has a few very important PROS: 1. No save 2. Force effect damages incorporeal creatures 3. Automatically hits 4. No Energy Resistance I'm...

I was just wondering what all of you guys thought of the following template (essentially a half-vampire template applied to the character at creation). You will be able to note many references to weakness against Heironeous' followers; this is intentional and has a long backstory if anyone...

Hey everyone, it's been a while! As I'm sure many of you have read the XPH numerous times and have many opinions on how and what should be done to fix it for your respective campaigns, I wanted to know what you savy guys thought of gaining a psionic focus. To me, the idea is very appealing...

I was wondering if there was a monk prestige class out that had a theme of "water mastery" in it (i.e. controlling water, immunities to water-based attacks...etc). If there is no such thing available, does anyone have any suggestions on how to modify the currently existing prestige class to...

I wanted to start a campaign that took players from 0th (commoners/experts) to 7th level...My idea was to run the following: modified "Unearthing the Past" (http://www.wizards.com/dnd/article.asp?x=dnd/ch/ch20000901a ) ->Of Sound Mind -> Three Days to Kill -> Speaker in Dreams My question is...

I have been hearing many people lately saying that they have done away with these aspects of psionics entirely. I was wondering what would, if anything, replace them? I only ask because in my own campaign their use is rather infrequent and so if I did decide to elimanate them I would want to...

I have to come up with a character concept for a first level character by tomorrow but I have NO idea what to do...I am running up against a block of some kind and I need help. I am unconcerned with which class to take but rather what type of person to be and the future development of such a...

I need some help designing a low level character who will take this prestige class (i.e. the path, feats, and spells he should take given his ability scores and starting level) The character will start at 3rd level and has the following ability scores: 11,11,9,15,14,18 Thanks for all your help...

Originally, I had planned on making this character a straight fighter, but I decided that a cleric with a highly lawful affiliation would fit the bill just fine. I have the following to work with: Str 17 Dex 9 Con 11 Int 15 Wis 17 Cha 14 Human with three total levels. I am thinking of making...

OK, so maybe DnD isn't the best system to try to make a character in this way, but I figure someone in this forum has thought about it before:) What I was envisioning was a character out of Force Recon or something along those lines (think guerilla warefare and urban assault). I am thinking...
