You might be surprised how many things a real-world fighter does with his shield. Bashing, pushing, bringing it about to all sorts of angles and such. It's a tough life being the shield arm. The thing about dual bastard swords that kind of bugs me is how bloody hard it would really be to...

Half-orc warlord anyone? It fits thematically (since half-orcs often lead orc tribes) and it seems like loads of fun to play an aloof but clever leader rather than a smarmy glib or a dashing Aryan with a chin that could kill a bison and teeth so shiny they give blindness as an at-will power. I...

Umm... how many rogues do YOU know that don't carry a rapier, a shortsword, a sap, a club, four daggers, and a crossbow? >.> Butsrsly, if you're not confident with the rogue's unbeweaponed prowess, choose something like warlock or wizard that can hold his or her own naked.

I had my characters run a war scene once... in a battle between Celestial and Demonic forces. They were really low level (about 5 or 6), so a lot of the adventure was "OH GOD MARILITH DON'T GET SPOTTED!" "Ooh, lone Dretch! Kill it!" "Help the Hound Archons break the Demonic siege machine!"...

I'll just keep my PHB3.5 and snag Exalted when it shows up at Half Price Books... I love that store so much... ^.^ Wonder if I need to preorder a copy of the 4ed prerelease set. ... I feel exactly like the kids I used to hate in high school: the ones with the money to get all the goodies on...

I don't have much to add to the conversation on Enchanters, magic not being my forte (unless you just wanna pick Archmage, but that's a bit high-level) but the Mindbender is an excellent choice for all sorts of villains at low levels. What level range are we looking for?

Thanks for all the help so far, guys, I'm loving the feedback and ideas. I've been toying with the custom class and I thnk I've got it almost fully tweaked; once it's done, I'd like to post it here and see if anyone has some recommendations for it.

oversize two-weapon, monkey grip anyone?

Since spellcasting rarely fits my playstyle, I'm willing to forego the spells entirely. The abilities that I really want are wild shape (which I'd willingly limit to somewhat less than what a standard druid gets), animal companion, and rage. The rest is by the wayside from a stats standpoint...

In the haunted manor of newly deceased Lord Coldwelle: "Come, friends, and sit at the famed table of House Coldwelle. You'll find no finer cuisine!" two of five sit down. Insert animated chairs, table, and (just for lols) animated silverware and a zombie boar with apple still in mouth...

Hi. I've been lurking for a while, and have decided to come out and play with the neighborhood kids, as it were. This is kind of a multi-topic thread, so I'll try to keep it short. I've been a fan of druid since before I ever owned a D&D book. I've been a fan of barbarians since I was four...

Does the group need a name? How are they being referenced? If it's a bardic song, it's a good bet they're just The Three, or the Three Brave Souls, or Those Three Heroes True, or the Brave Trio, etc. If it's historical, the reference is likely to be more formal: The three heroes who battled...

Okay, I love love LOVE the Fighter class, but I don't think I could stand to play a Nillafighter for ten to twenty levels. The fighter is a class that I exploit, exploit, exploit for those feats feats feats. I hate to sound like a powergamer when I say that, but if I have a character that's...
