[QUOTE="RedSwan78, post: 1995376, member: 5951"] Evilhalfling, I have a few questions about feats.. Would you allow the "Improved Toughness" feat? It's from Complete Warrior, instead of gaining a flat 3 hp from the regular toughness feat, you gain 1 hp per level with the Improved toughness feat, so being a 6lvl character, this would give Grim 6 extra hp's.. (which he'll need, because it looks like his Con score is going to be a 10. Oh yeah, any chance we could get a 32 point buy instead of a 28 point buy? :D ) About two feats from the Draconomicon - Dragon Hunter, and Dragon Hunter Defense.. Do the bonuses from these two feats stack? Dragon Hunter says you get a +2 dodge AC bonus, and a +2 competence bonus on saving throws against the spells, attacks, and special abilities of dragons Dragon Hunter Defense (which has the Dragon Hunter feat as a prereq) says you get evasion against the breath weapons of dragons, AND, you also gain a bonus equal to 1/2 your character lvl on all saving throws you make against the supernatural and spell-like abilities of dragons.. So, being 6th lvl, DragonHunter Defense would give a +3 bonus.. does that stack with the +2 bonus from Dragon Hunter? (or would they apply to different things? I see there is a bit different wording there, but it's been a while.. if they apply to DIFFERENT things, could you give me an example of what those different things would be?) [B]Religion[/B] About the religion thing, I've got an *awesome* idea! :) Like I said, Grim isn't too smart..

(have no idea if this applies to 3.5, but here's my idea..) Grim is *so* stupid, that through his childhood and adolescence, he has come to convince himself of a god named "xxxxxxx" (haven't thought of name yet).
