Hello, I just joined the club and was reading the last few weeks worth of messages, and I thought I would bring up a point about monks and paladins. It seems...
An extremely deadly combo that I've found (similar to your split barbarian/fighter) is two levels of rogue followed by one level of barbarian and as many ...
Welcome Charlie! (I'm not the founder, but I thought I'd welcome you anyway...)<br><br>On paladins and monks requiring a "personal discipline and a dedication ...
Actually, the Barbarian/Rogue/Fighter combo does have one rather famous example - Conan! That is his current class split (though not quite so optimized as the ...
Never pictured Conan as a 3rd Ed fighter, but OK.<br><br>I was thinking the guy who hung out with the Grey Mouser or (Forget his name) the Red from ...
First of all, I totally agree about wizards having as much discipline and dedication as monks or paladins. The only slight difference I saw was that wizards as...
In answer to the questions about the odd role playing situation, all I can say is that it was a learning campaign. We never planned on playing it for more than...
The only problem with the barbarian monk is it involves an alignment change. Sorry -- I meant "Amongst the problems..." I don't think the movement allowance ...
I love monk/mages, they have good numbers and they make a good character concept. Unfortunately, some of my players tend to look at it as, "I'm a wizard, but I...
I got a question that I would like to treat as a poll -- any one interested?<br><br>Okay, this is a GM one, so please put on you GM hats (or rent one): How do...
I'd probably go with 1. The common man probably doesn't notice alot of difference between the<br>wizard and the sorceror. Sure that guy stays<br>locked up in ...
Boy, I really agree with you there. This is what I really don't like: I really liked the combo back in 1st Ed when a DM let me multiclass as a 1/2elf monk...
One of my favorite villains from a Dungeon Magazing was from an adventure called "Master of Puppets". While the adventure, as a whole, was interesting, he made...
I'm avoiding work, so I thought that I would post why I dislike Sorcerers. I'm not reponding to anyone, and not hoping to offend anyone...<br><br>The strength...
Sorcerers suck. Ok, I guess they're not that bad; oh wait, yes they are. I'm a power-gamer at heart and always have been, and from that perspective there ...
Unless I've got it all wrong, Prestige classes suck. Badly.<br>For example: I like to play Anti-Paladins, so when I saw the Blackguard class, I thought great!...
I think you are thinking too much inside the box on this one. First of all, a 19th level Chaotic Evil character should have an army of minions and the goody...
Nope. Some Prestige classes are lame, but as a whole, they're pretty hefty.<br><br>Let's takes the example of the 19th level Blackguard - Suppose he was a 19th...
I don't have my books with me, but I'm pretty sure they have the same number of attacks. Those bonuses add to you previous level, and step down at the same...
Well, a blackguard has some requirements on skills like hide and move silently, I believe.<br>So a paladin turned blackguard might need to<br>take a level or...
True, true... Another example of taking one way to play an archetype and disregarding the others. BTW, did anyone notice that the pictures of the blackguard...
Ok, couldn't resist this one. <br>There are two cases being made here, or so it seems to me. The first is that sorcerers are dull, the second that they ...
You are completely right about the Blackguard having an advantage in not playing fair. But there isn't alot of role-playing excitement when you give orders all...
You wrote, "The thing about real goody goody paladins is that they inspire their followers with honest deeds, and it's alot easier to lead by example than it ...
Ok, as some of you may have noticed, I'm not very fond of sorcerers as they stand now. Part of what makes 3rd ed cool is the multiclassing rules and single ...
On the subject of sorcerers, I believe they are one of the most interesting classes in D&D3E.<br><br>At low levels, they're great as a pickup class to augment...
The first question is whether they are too powerful or not powerful enough. In the type of campaign you described, they are not powerful enough. In mine, they...
I have a problem with brining in certain classes for multi classing at higher levels, not sure if anyone else views ti the same..<br><br>Barbarians for ...
