    Swashbuckler/Master Thrower question.

    Im sure this has been discussed somewhere, but google isn't turning up what I'm looking for. How do certain damage bonuses work with the master throwers palm throw trick? Insightful Strikes from the swashbuckler class adds your int bonus to weapon damage rolls. Using daggers, would that be...

    Intelligence versus wisdom

    I can't remember the book I saw this in, but it talked about the effects of having high or low intelligence and wisdom scores on a characters personality. It even had some very funny flavor text, 4 example having a high wisdom and low intelligence it said," there is a town on the other side of...

    Hirelings/Cohorts? Does any every hire them?

    That actually sounds like a fun setting, making and managing investments and earning profits. It's good to see ingesting things for players to do in down times, ofcourse that doesn't sound like down time play in your game. Most of the games I've been in, no ones ever bothered with down time...

    Would you rather... (Game Style)

    Good input. I wasn't trying to make the first option seem horrible. I was trying at a more sophisticated way of saying, "DM allows you to create whatever character you can imagine, and then everyone will play these modules that have nothing to do with each other. In our current D&D clique, we...

    Hirelings/Cohorts? Does any every hire them?

    I once played an elven cleric, probably around 15th level though paid hirelings to drive a caravan of about 3 covered wagons and one stage coach that carried just about every piece of adventuring equiptment from the phb. Didn't last too long. DM rolled a "random encounter" of boulder chucking...

    Would you rather... (Game Style)

    This was just an example but thanks for the corrections. I've read that the Quartermaster actually has more control than the captain. I was really surprised by this fact. In times of combat, the captain is in charge, but all other times, the quartermaster has almost all the saying power. He's...

    Would you rather... (Game Style)

    It's just a hypothetical question. Would you like this half of the good stuff with this part of the bad, or would you like this part of the good with this half of the bad. My personal opinion: Almost every game I've played as been the first type, with the difference being reacuring villans or...

    Would you rather... (Game Style)

    Well, for example, take the Pirate setting. 1 character, playing the captain, would need levels in dread pirate, the PC quartermaster would require leadership feat and a set amount of ranks in socail skills, the Gunner would need ranks in profession cannons (or such), etc.

    Would you rather... (Game Style)

    For example, the DM will only allow 1 melee character, 1 skulldugery character, and 1 arcane character. Or the character must be built using certain races or must attain certain feat or a number of ranks in a skill

    Throwing Weapons - Stupid Question

    Absolutly nothing, but I had been playing that character for a looking time. Need to shake things up a bit. Plus, the swashbuckler gives me access to some decent socail skills, so he just seems like a good mix of role playing and roll playing :) I do, somewhat, prefer casters, but after the war...

    Would you rather... (Game Style)

    Would you rather... ---Play a dungeon-crawling, mission-hopping campaign with no real plot but complete character build freedom. Or ---Play a limited setting, specific focus campaign (Monster Tribe, Assasins, Pirates, etc.), with reacurring plot themes and where characters need to be created...

    Throwing Weapons - Stupid Question

    My last character was an optimized War weaver. Had a blast playing him, but I wanted something a bit more stylized. One of our other players wanted to DM for a while, so we are going from a combat driven campaign to a story driven one.

    Throwing Weapons - Stupid Question

    All this makes perfect sense to me, I'll try to relay the message and I will show him the. 3.5 FAQ. And yeah, he is a pretty underpowered fighter. Insightful strikes help and eventually weapon specialization, but I could easily deal more damage as a druid or fighter. My DM may be a lil...

    Yes, Master Thrower receives Quick Draw at first level.

    Throwing Weapons - Stupid Question

    Can you throw different weapon types in one attack/full attack action? My DM and I are having an argument. My character is a level 3 Swashbuckler/2 Fighter/1 Master thrower who throws daggers. I stated to him that he would like to get Alchemists Fire to sometimes throw on his lowest attack roll...

    Music at the gaming table?

    For some great encounter music, check out Ars Arcana, Position Music - Orchestral series, and Epic Action & Adventure series. They are very dramatic and upbeat. You can check them out on iTunes. I think that music without English lyrics is a great way to keep the mood for your players around...
