    Looking for a ride.

    I'm looking for an appropriately powerful mount for my Planetar Paladin/Sorcerer (it's a high powered game). From any WotC source, what's a Huge Animal, Magical Beast, or Good Outsider less than 14HD that can be ridden and has a fly speed?

    character suggestions.

    Try Bladesinger or Spellsword in CW. Bladesinger is very much for wizards, with Int to AC, as well as free quickened spells. Spellsword lets you cast in armor, and channel spells through your sword. Both PrCs have 1/2 spellcasting. The Daggerspell Mage from CV could also be a good choice...

    Fighters vs mages at high level.

    I don't know if this holds true at 30+, but in general my experiences at around level 15 have been that Fighters can't catch Wizards, and Wizards take a few rounds to kill fighters. While Hacky McSlash the fighter can kill any wizard with a full attack, it'll take at least two or three Chain...

    Help with a Character Idea

    Just one thing, Arcane Strike only works with one weapon, or unarmed strike, so no TWF. Fighter/Wizards are tricky because they share no similar ability scores, feat focus, equipment choices, or tactical decisions. If you set on playing a spellcaster/warrior, I’d go Pal3/SorcX, which at least...

    Character Creation Help (My DM, stay out!)

    Assuming this guy is the big bad, what you want are allies, and by allies I mean the most powerful celestials. The best way to get the big celestials is with the Thaumaturgist PrC. Use multiple Greater Planar Allies to bring in Planetars, Tulanis (BoED), and creatures with the Saint Template...

    How to Disrupt a Wedding

    So I've got this plan for an adventure. The setting is basically George RR Martin's Song of Ice and Fire, specifically the Riverlands roughly ten years before King Robert's War. Lord Hoster Tully has decided to force a wedding between Tytos Blackwood and Marianne Bracken, to end their historic...

    Help with (DUHM DUHM DUUUUHHHM) Ultimate Power!

    I'd go with universal absolutes. Immortality, Destruction, Creation, Protection, Travel, Healing, etc. The final spell should be Happiness. These spells should be overwhelmingly powerful in effect. Destruction should allow you to anhilliate everything from people, to entire planes, to ideas...

    What to gestalt a monk with

    Cleric is good, as stated because Cleric spells are always helpful, and personal buffs like Divine Favor, Divine Power, and Righteous Might can really boost combat power. Clerics also get a number of powerful Touch and Close ranged spells, which combined with your high mobility, can allow you...

    Another strategy thread.

    A little more info on level and party composition would be valuble, but here are some general tactics. The best spell in the game is Haste. 3.5 is even better than 3.0 because one guy can Haste the entire party. If you have a lot of fighter types, the extra attack for everybody will be more...

    Familiars much cooler than I ever realized!

    Psuedodragon familiar. Fly speed, reasonably intelligent, and most important: Blindsight and Telepathy 60', never get cut off or ambushed again. Perfect as a silently relay for combat or negotiations, and Blindsight let's you deal with invisible creatures by calling down tactical glitterdusts.

    How to build a Wizard's Tower?

    Okay, if I we're making a wizard's tower, or just a generally defensible structure. If you're the DIY yourself type, Walls of Stone are probably the best bet, but if you don't want to spend a few months casting wall of stone, it may be in your interests to animate a few teams of undead workers...

    Questions a/b Fighter builds

    If you're playing at high levels, Ftr2/Pal6/Cav X is a scary, scary mounted build. Not only do you get two fighter bonus feats, insane mounted combat bonuses and 5x damage on a charge with a lance, but you also get a Paladin's mount, which can be a Griffon or Dire Lion, a scary combatant in its...

    Battle Royale character ideas

    I've played in 2 Games of Death, have participated in 3 online D&D arenas totalling about 100 fights over 10 characters, and currently GM my own arena, D&D 3.5: The Proving Grounds. Now that I'm done tooting my own horn, here's my advice. In general, a Cleric will be the last one standing...

    Running a group with 7 players?

    I speak to you out of the darkest level of hell, as some one who not only DMs for 7 people, but who GMs for 7 teenagers 7 7th graders, to be specific, 7 7th graders, half of whom don't know anything about the rules. I'm going to assume that your group is a little better, but here is my...

    What is a ring of sustenance worth to you?

    I could see it being a very useful item for a spymaster type. With an extra 6 hours a day, you could analyze intelligence 25% more effectively than without, not to mention getting 6 hours at night to sneak around while still looking fresh for important court functions. If you're not fighting...

    Ring of Spell Storing

    This little dispure about the Ring of Spell Storing came up. One player argues that the Ring can only hold spells at the lowest CL, judging by this section in the SRD. <quote>A minor ring of spell storing contains up to three levels of spells that the wearer can cast. Each spell has a caster...

    MOST broken class, race, etc?

    As a GM in the two arenas mentioned above (www.rpol.net, The Proving Grounds and The Halls of Valhalla, new characters welcome) here are some of the sickest character's I've ever seen. WereTiger Frenzied Berserker (3.0): Str in the high 40s, capable of doing a full attack on a charge, and...

    Coup de Grace and Power Attack

    I know that this has been flamewared across the forums and back, but can you Power Attack on a Coup de Grace?

    I feel dirty for asking, but...

    Not quite as scary as the Lords of the Rhymes, straight out of Hobbiton foolz. Of course the Nimoy was probably a major inspiration for the Lords. http://www.lordsoftherhymes.com/
