Personally, I take my personality and modify it to fit the character's race and class. I used to play a human thief, so I'd use my personality, then add some...
I was playing a game with my friend and his cousin the other day, and it seems that roleplayers are a dying breed. I mean, a NE cleric was willing to spare...
Hi, I've been reading some of the strings here and looking over a lot of the new 3rd Ed rules. One thing I never agreed on was the to-hit modifer based solely...
I think the reason behind that was the fighter. a Fighter needs strength, but when is he gonna consider Dex for anything but AC? so, they put it in there. ...
I don't know. I would just find it more believable if a more agile fighter had a better chance of landing a blow than lumbering hulk. Drizzt vs an Ogre? Not...
For what it's worth, 3rd Ed has addressed this issue. Strength still provides the default attack bonus. However one of the new Feats, Weapon Finesse, allows...
Excellent (Mr. Burns style) Thanks for the info. As I stated, I wasn't sure if the 3rd Ed. rules took this into account. I'm glad they did and I think it's ...
well you are right, they addressed it. I knew about weapon finesse, but i just thought that it should be the other way around for most weapons. I mean, ...
Been playing with the 3e rules and rolled a Sorceror today. Didn't think much of the feats or skills available to the Wizard/Sorceror class. There are few and ...
Kinda two seperate topics, Skills and Feats:<br>As far as Skills go: Don't expect Sorcerers to have too many skills to begin with. At a base 2 per level, ...
Ok, Feats.<br><br>Feats are another matter entirely. At first glance, Sorcerers get the shaft with them too. However, it's important to remember that they mean...
There's definately a lot of logic to going with a Dex-driven combat model, and I could hardly argue with any GM who does so. However, I would not, for three ...
Thanks for the feedback. A lot of the feats are only useful at higher levels or they require the character to pay for them along the way by using a higher ...
You see, I'm on the side of your last point, what is more exciting to watch? The slow warriors battle it out or the 2 fast moving agile combatants. Why is...
If you want to keep fights looking interesting and cinematic, but also want to account for strength, it's important to remember that power mooves are just as...
Also, a quick aside that your username put me in mind of.<br><br>For a wonderful display of different fighting styles, the old 1970's 3 Musketeers is excellent...
Has anyone here had a chance to play at a local Con? If not, I highly recommend you do so! I was at Tacticon this last weekend and boy was it cool. My ...
I am impressed. I like 3rd Ed and am currently playing in the Living Greyhawk games at Cons. I love the fact that each state has a geographic equivilant in the...
It is the best DMG I have ever seen. Be sure to ck out the new prestigous Carater Classes. They are Really Neat. For the person who brought up weliding a ...
I have a large kindom as my urban setting and crime is rampant... there is a new guard being formed by the new king, who has recently returned form his holy...
the knight is expected to: have an unswerving loyalty to the crown. pay back his debt with either scuttage or years of dedicated service.<br>a knight at 1-2 ...
a herald is somehow possessed of noble blood, (even if he has nothing else.) he is the secret enforcer roaming the crowds at the balls and courts. weaving...
let me rephrase and try to make myself clear.<br><br>if you don't like having a familiar forced on you, ask your g.m. if you can trade that off for something ...
Um, chummer, being a member of the SCA (Society of Creative Anacronism, a Middle Ages Re-enaction group) I know that you have Baron and Lord backwards. A Baron...
uhm,,, chummer.<br> I wasn't trying to be accurate. I was trying to express that players can be creative with the "character customization" as listed on page...
Hi there..I am interested in creating a good Assassin character. 3rd edition offers so many ways of becoming one. I would like to get your 'expert input' on ...
Do you mean 'good' as in Alignment, or 'good' as in a really cool character? 3rd Ed offer the prestige calss of Assassin in the DMG, but a requirement is the...
I meant it as a evil character....if I was to make one from level 1..would love tohear what classes, skills, feats, and stuff you would recommend...what is the...
Well, since they have the Prestige class, I would not allow a player in one of my games to start as one, but they could work to become one. If I were wanting...
