    D&D 3E/3.5 [3.5e] Favorite non-Core Base Classes

    :D pawsplay, I agree with you 100% about the Hexblade! I love the haunted flavor they have as well. Rare class with role-playing flavor galore and very good abilities. You get best of those categories with a Hexblade (Flavor & Optimization too). Disagree that they are underpowered... Arcane...

    D&D 3E/3.5 [3.5e] Favorite or Best Rogue PrC

    For a Utilitarian Party Rogue, I recommend Rogue to level 7, then take the Dungeon Delver Prestige Class. It builds upon and augments many Rogue abilities. For example I have a Hexblade(3)/Rogue(2) I am gaming with now, who will take 1 more level in each Hexblade & Rogue and then go exclusively...

    D&D 3E/3.5 [3.5e] Favorite non-Core Base Classes

    :rant:I prefer the Hexblade personally. I like the personality type and they get some great abilities (Mettle, Arcane Resistance & Dark Companion) to go with the Hex ability, Fighter HD, Fighter Weapon Proficiencies, light armor & Wizard saving throws. A good angst PC that can be maximized as a...

    Mettle ability & spell list inquiry

    :hmm:Why should they be restricted? Just because they thwart a handful of spells IF they make their save in the first place is hardly a reason to restrict evasion & mettle unless you are running a game where you want casters to be dominant, then I see no reason to restrict 2 rules that endured...

    How valuable is Darkvision?

    bild91... I wasn't aware that Darkvision foils sneak attacks without the rogue having concealment? If this is true I am one happy camper lol! I frequently play Dwarves and have since 3.0. Please explain further reference of rules etc. how Darkvision works vs. Sneak Attacks. If I am overlooking...

    :DVery concise and accurate definition list! Great job! I would definitely fall into the Optimizer classification. I always offer advice and suggestions 2 others re character building etc. and don't understand why anyone wouldn't other than pure insecurity? Look at the terminology for...

    :hmm:Regarding Power Gaming. You said it is making your character as powerful as possible. Why would that approach need a specific title for it? Isn't doing something to the best of your capacity without breaking the rules what most people do with any hobby or skill in this world. The old...

    >>>don't quite understand your point here. Power attack is easily one of the best feats a melee character can take.If you are saying that one has to suck in order to prove that he is not a min-maxer, then I say it is utter nonsense. There is nothing preventing me from building an optimized...

    Requesting feedback on term META-Gamer

    That is cheating in my opinion as well. I get it's meaning of player knowledge being used as well. I guess I was referring 2 it's "Min-Max" component and knowing what class/prestige class levels and combinations for good character building. It is that kind of skill they call Min-Maxing and sum...

    Mettle ability & spell list inquiry

    Hoping perhaps any of you might know of a Consolidated list of spells of which the Hexblade & Pious Templar ability of Mettle would effect. Such spells having in their description for saving throw as: Fortitude Partial/HalforWill Partial/Half. :)Thanks in advance for any lists or PDF or link I...

    :rant:Forgive the length of topic in advance please? So I have been gaming since I was 11 years old from 1982 to present. I haven't made any attempted to play 4th edition, but have several years of experience with each & every previous edition of Dungeons & Dragons. I first started hearing the...

    Best Monk Races?

    :heh:Sounds cool but the whole Eberron mechanical thing as a world turns me away. Guess I like my Fantasy RPG less techno.:erm:

    Best Monk Races?

    ;)Hence my suggestion of half-ogre. LA+1 +6 to strength 10' reach +4 Natural Armor Better LA than Minotaur or Centaur, higher strength, reach too. At 1st level a 24 strength would be quite effective with 10' reach.:devil:

    Best Monk Races?

    1/2 Ogre Monk For a strength based monk, I would go with 1/2 Ogre. ECL is only +1 and you get +6 to strength, +4 Natural Armor bonus, 10' reach, you do large unarmed strike damage. You can take the feat Improved Natural Attack which improves natural weapon damage to make a large unarmed...

    D&D 3E/3.5 Skills you can take 10 with (3.5 edition)

    Just downloaded the 3.5 edition FAQ & Errata from Wizards Official site, and it clearly states you can not include UMD with skills selected to have skill mastery with. Sorry to have belabored the point and wasted anyone's time. I am still open 2 suggestions for the skills I should take with...

    D&D 3E/3.5 Skills you can take 10 with (3.5 edition)

    It disallows taking 10 with UMD due to risk of hazzardous outcome right? It not allowing taking 10 shouldnt preclude it from the skill mastery ability which allows usurping of take 10 rules right?
