Listen, Idiot, you asked a loaded question. If your DEX is super low or high take Improved Initiative or Dodge. The sooner you act in battle, the better your...
I'd say go with combat casting if you think<br>you'll be mixing it up in melee. You're going<br>to have to whip out those healing spells<br>eventually, and if...
Oops, I made a mistake. Residieu is correct: Combat Casting might be a good idea. My current DM is pretty lenient on the DC's for my character, so I don't ...
That really slants things in favor of the mage, doesn't it? Suddenly no one can dodge that ray of enfeeblement. Instead of a touch attack (which already...
An additional note: Since the vast majority of spell attack rolls are touch attacks, the fact that they ignore armor tends to more than offset the Wizard's...
I agree that touch spells are good enough. They are pretty well rounded power-wise and very hard to dodge. The fact that you can hold it until it hits is very...
If you've ever wanted to play yourself in a D&D campaign, I have the class that lets you do it. May I present...<br><br>The D&D 3rd Edition...<br><br>GAMER...
Sorry to be the one to disagree with the majority of the gamers here, but I really do not like 3rd ed. My campaign quickly introduced massive rules changes to...
This post deals with rules mods to fix many of the aforementioned problems. Since I feel it is unfair to complain without offering alternative, I am posting my...
Two quick notes about my previous post: I do know how to spell, but I was just trying to fool all of you. And I'm not a jerk very often, but when it happens, I...
The other guy covered it fairly well, but I'd like to make a point on your complaint number two.<br><br>Did pages 168 and 169 get ripped out of your copy of ...
Actually, I have been playing D+D since 1980, but that's irrelevant, since I base my arguments are on their own merit.<br><br>1. I do not agree that peasants,...
All I have to say right now before going back and rereading my books is about Gruumsh. There's an official errata list at the WotC website (not in a very...
Okay, but I still preferred orcs to be LE. In Tolkien, orcs were put forth as "anti-elves", thus the antithesis of elves, which made them LE. They also, then, ...
No problem -- I knew my posts would not make me friends, and I am secure enough in myself to brush off mild insults. Actually, the only thing I found really ...
While Officeronin raises some good points, I am obliged to take issue with some of them.<br><br>1. Peasant Class<br>In fairness, it is a little bit silly to ...
Continued<br><br>5. In-Class skills<br>As OR has observed, lots of them are silly, at least on the surface. However, OR also points out that they can be easily...
Wrapping up<br><br>10. Favored Class<br>The specific example OR cites definately displays a weakness to the favored class system. However, A strong ...
I do not find a connection between skill in farming and a base attack bonus. However, if the GM wanted to made a wonderfarmer who could grow interesting herbs,...
One of the great things about 2nd Ed., especially after skills and powers, was that the characters actually learned new skills, rather than "spiking" their ...
Ah, now as far as that is concerned, I am completely in agreement. I think a far better example of this is the Expert who, as you illustrate, needs to be 17th...
I have not had the opportunity to hear the designers tell me what they meant. As an example of your post, suppose there is a tavern full of unpleasant, rowdy...
Actually, the fighter raised on a pirate ship has (2+Int)x4 skill points (more if he is human), but only 4 of which can be spent on Profession: Sailor, giving...
The monks in 3rd Ed are clearly based on Eastern monks, particularly Shao Lin. Claiming that they should get Knowledge: Arcana rather than Knowledge: Religion ...
I was lucky enough to here the designers speak at launch, and this seemed a topic near and dear to their hearts. I just wish they had expressed it as clearly...
