Greyhawk - Return of the Slavelords!

[Someone]

Honestly, I just want to use the weapon type of the Hammer of Thunderbolts DMG pg 279, which reads "This +3 Large Returning Warhammer...". I would assume that this type of weapon (not the artifact) does 2d6 damage. If that is no penalty...or however you rule is great

Let´s put it ths way: you just want to wield a very big hammer. Mechanically, that could be done in many ways: you could use a Large warhammer (with a -2 penalty to hit rolls), a two handed hammer (an inexistent weapon, but easily house ruled) or even a maul. The maul appears in Complete Warrior and is the equivalent of a bastard sword or dwarven waraxe, but in hammer form. All of these are hammers, and all are big. You have options.

Yep, I think how it's done now is best, and technically a two-handed warhammer is really about the same as large warhammer, just not as awkward in handling and better balanced for a medium-sized wielder.

Hey Karl,

If its not too late, I'm considering switching a feat or something, Mal's Will save is a little too low. If I'm gonna do it, it will be by tonight.

 

[Karl Green]

Hey no problem RillianPA... sorry I did not reply yesterday... TOTALLY swamped at work and home computer is not working good

Anyway, I have not had a chance to look at your character yet so change away

For the rest, post in IC is a coming ... sorry again

 

[RillianPA]

NP Karl, cool. What did you think of my idea for introducing Mal to the party? Oh, and sorry about your comp

By the way, does anyone know of any good feats for improving Will saves (besides Iron Will, with this characters saves...I might need 2 feats)?

 

[Scotley]

I don't know about other basic feats, there are some regional feats in forgotten realms that might help, but I'm not sure they would be allowed. I think there is a trait in Unearthed Arcana that would give your will save a boost at the expense of another save if you are really desperate. A magic item such as a cloak of resistance that boosts all saves might be an option as well.

 

[Thanee]

I don't really know any besides some FR Regional Feats, which are probably not allowed.

Cloak of resistance is certainly your best bet. A +1 one costs only 1k.

[Thanee]

Ah, I actually know a feat, that could help you there... Extra Rage.

Bye
Thanee

 

[RillianPA]

Thats not a bad idea Thanee, Instantaneous Rage looks good too (might pick those up later). I was hoping there was a feat that did something like substitute Dex bonus for Wis bonus...but I dont see that. Oh well think I will take Iron Will, and buy myself a cloak asap.

 

[RillianPA]

Ok Karl, Mal should be done (Unless someone comes up with a better Will save feat for him). Let me know if you see any mistakes or would like anything changed.
