D&D

if i'm running it i wouldn't mind using the elite array, that's the most balanced though admittedly boring for most players, but i like roleplaying more than most of the game, so if everyone is cool with that...should i setup a thread in the writer's board?

I tend to prefer higher point buys myself, but we'll go with whatever you choose if you're running it.

What you might want to do is do the sign-ups in the roleplay thread and then we'll all play over an instant messenger system, it's a lot better for D&D-based roleplays, and we can keep our character stats and the like in the thread itself.

Also, list what splatbooks we're allowed to use, that'll definitely help with the characters. I personally own all the core rulebooks plus the Expanded Psionics Handbook, PHBII, and Tome of Battle. If possible, I'd like to play a class from one of the latter books, but I'm also willing to defer to the party roles people need.

I also have PDFs of all the Completes except Complete Mage, the Complete Scoundrel book that hasn't been released yet, and the Complete Psionics which is an abomination anyway. Not as interested in using those, but I do have access to them.

i'm tempted to go with core, since i don't know who has what or whatever, but i think i'll head over and make a thread there now...or maybe i should plan it out first :P

Having an idea for a campaign helps, as will specifying which sites we use for keeping track of our character sheets and die rolling.

Also, we can use the SRD for reference, it has core plus psionics and Unearthed Arcana variants, which are nice.

There's a feat database here, which is also helpful.

o i have ideas for campaigns all over my apartment heh some of which are actually WHOLE ideas...hard to believe i know!

Let's see, you are 7th level which means you can cast up to 4th level spells.

From the 4th level spell list, (Evard's) Black Tentacles is a nice way to go. Have him charge in and then use the Black Tentacles. They then grapple EVERYTHING in the area, including Mr. Gung Ho Ranger. They do a good amount of damage, but you start flinging blast spells around you should kill everything else long before he dies, allowing you to dismiss the spell and have the healer patch him up. A good admonishment here is to not get in your way.

Against a low-Will low-Fortitude type like say a Rogue enemy, Phantasmal Killer can kill it immediately, before Stabby Mctwink gets a chance.

There's also Polymorph. However, that spell's so hideously broken I suggest not inflicting it upon your poor DM except for extreme cases. There are plenty of 7 Hit Dice nasties that can tear through a mob far easier than any warrior.

From the level 3 spell list, Deep Slumber or Hold Person can take people out of the battle entirely. This still, however, allows him to brag about killing them, even if they are asleep/utterly paralyzed when he does so, due to your spell. Feel free to point it out to him though.

!!!!! Excellant!!! Thank you soooo much, this should work perfectly. My only reservation is gaining everyone's resentment for attacking/hindering an ally. (not like I really care....)

Those are just a few things you can do. I definitely encourage putting such players in their place, I would hate playing with someone like that and I'm still unsure of how he managed to "twink" a Ranger, since they're often considered to be more than a little nerfed mechanically, especially in pure combat situations. Especially if he's going two-weapon fighting.

The race is a Wood Elf. They get a +2 to beefyness and thumpability, I think. And his character is all about range. A wasted oportunity in my opinion since two-weapon fighting is my fav. My char. class that I made is based on Two-weapon fighting in fact. Anyways..added to that he's got an insane attack roll (he hit a flower from 200 feet. Seriously. He did) and just recently gained a dragonbone bow. His feats allow him to fire like, 10 arrows per round and he gets bonuses to boot. The uber badass that's always the loner and rubs in the fact that he's strong. (but it was funny when he wet himself--a future note not to piss off any clerics!)

I'm in too, but I kind of have a strict schedule when I'm online. As in, I can't get on except for a couple minutes in the morning and a little while in the evening except on weekends.
