I'm going off of memory here, so I could be wrong, but can't you flurry with Kamas, but not with sickles?

I have no idea why, but I came up with the "Hand domain". Here it is. Hand domain Granted power: Improved Unarmed Strike as a free feat. 1st: Mage hand 2nd: Spectral hand 3rd: Helping hand 4th: Black tentacles 5th: Interposing hand 6th: Forceful hand 7th: Grasping hand 8th: Clenched fist...

I always do point buy-in with the point value determined by the power of the campaign. To me, it's a fair way to go, avoiding the case where somebody rolls abnormally high or low stats during character creation and gets a major advantage over other players or suffers from a major disadvantage...

Ok, that makes sense. I also totally spaced the +2 HD upon awakening. -Jixan

I still think 9 ECL is reasonable and fair. As a test, I ask myself what would I rather be, a normally equipped 9th level fighter (ECL 9) or a 6HD Awakened Tiger (what I'm rating as ECL 9). Personally, I think the fighter with many more feats than the tiger, and stats that are probably fairly...

I was taking a look at Savage Species, here's what I came up with for the Tiger. HD: 6 Unbalanced ability scores: +1 ECL Awakened: +2 ECL (intelligence, speech, etc.) So, I'd probably go with 9 ECL for determining cohort level. -Jixan

We've talked about this a fair amount in my gaming group. Basically it boiled down to a compromise that was satisfactory to the DM and the players. What we decided was that players get experience for encounters not just combat. First off, we always give full XP for overcoming an encounter...

Hey there, I played a 2-handed-sword weilding human war cleric (war/travel) pretty much as you've described in a campaign for over a year. I thought I'd share a few of my experiences with you. First off, my character always seemed to be late to the battle. There were a couple reasons for...

There was a d20 thing about Westeros in Dragon magazine, but I don't think it got down to that level of detail. I don't know the issue number though. -Jixan

I thought it would be fine as well, but I wanted to ask to make sure I wasn't the only one. Thanks everyone for the responses, the knowlegable people on these forums have been a great resource. -Jixan

There is some worry by my friend that I talked about this with that if you allow energy damage bonuses to stack then it would be way too powerful. Mainly because you could make a +1 weapon of flaming, shock, acid, and frost which would give you an additional 4d6+1 weapon for a total possible...

After playing D&D for several years, I feel kind of foolish for asking this question, but I can't find an answer anywhere, so what the hell... Is it possible to have more than one type of special ability like fire AND electric, or acid AND sonic, etc. on the same weapon? I looked at the DMG...

I get the feeling that they are unsure of what is possible or what they can do. Honestly, what I'd like is for them to use their imagination and come up with some possibilities on their own. Like Guillaume in the post above, I'd like to go with "anything may be tried". Maybe I just need to...

My friends and I are in the midst of a campaign which I am DM'ing. I recently asked for suggestions on ways to improve the campaign. Several of the players suggested that I needed to provide more direction as DM. This board is always full of good advice, so I thought I would ask here what a...

I kind of messed up the initial stats when I posted. They were supposed to be STR 18, DEX 16, CON 12, INT 6, WIS 8, CHA 6. The overall low scores are based off of a 22 point buy in. I'm planning on upping players ability scores as roleplay rewards over the course of the campaign based on...

Thanks everyone for your input. It seems like at best the character would be sort of an unlikable dullard, and at worst some kind of thug psycho. Either way, I don't think that kind of character would be good in a party situation! After reading this advice and thinking it over, I talked with...

Hi, I'm fairly new to DM'ing. I am starting a new campaign in a couple weeks. One of my players is rolling up a character with the following stats.... STR 16 DEX 14 CON 12 INT 6 WIS 8 CHA 6 My question is...what does this kind of player really act like? The player's handbook doesn't really...

Hi, I'm new to the forums here other than an occasional browse or search to see if anyone has covered issues that come up in the course of a campaign. It's a good forum though, so I thought this would be a good place to pose a question. My friend and I had a good debate at lunch about...
