Re: [3.5] How Will The Might Be Felled?
If one of us chooses to be a Ranger, what do we do about Favored Enemy?

Re: [3.5] How Will The Might Be Felled?
Shouldn't this be in the finding players section?
That being said.... I'm in, no idea with what, but I'm in.
Also what happens if one of the 4 guys dies in one of the fights? Will he be ressurrected in the following match?
What about the last match? Can everyone but one guy die?
Can all characters be the same?
What about class features that have limited uses (spells and rage for exemple)? Replenished before each fight?
What about preparing spells? Do we prepare after or before knowing what we're fighting?Last edited by arkol; 2009-08-10 at 09:01 AM.

Re: [3.5] How Will The Might Be Felled?
I'll be polite. The Favored Enemy you select will always be treated as the type of the monster in question, or the monster of your choice if multiple monsters are present.
Also, I'll allow Core and any single other book. Obvious cheese like power word, pain, Pun-Pun, things relying on other planar entities, spells commonly considered to powerful, and the like. Characters should be made to be normal 1st level characters in a normal 1st level game: don't specifically optimize for more powerful encounters, as that defeats the purpose.
Ingredients
2oz Djinn
5oz Water
1 Lime Wedge
Instructions
Pour Djinn and tonic water into a glass filled with ice cubes. Stir well. Garnish with lime wedge. Serve.

Re: [3.5] How Will The Might Be Felled?
I edited lots of questions in my first post which apparently got missed... ugh ONE other book makes this a nightmare of building.... ONEother book for each character or for everyone?

Re: [3.5] How Will The Might Be Felled?
He's back in the next match. The goal is to win 1 fight against a number of CR 6 "BBEGs." Dying is fine.
What about the last match? Can everyone but one guy die?
Can all characters be the same?
What about class features that have limited uses (spells and rage for exemple)? Replenished before each fight?
What about preparing spells? Do we prepare after or before knowing what we're fighting?
One extra book per person.
And yes, one other book does mess things up a bit. I'm allowing it, however, so that we can get some different base classes, not so you can cherry-pick the most powerful and unbalanced races, feats and spells. I'll know the difference, trust me.Last edited by Djinn_in_Tonic; 2009-08-10 at 09:09 AM.

Re: [3.5] How Will The Might Be Felled?
I'm considering entering (I'll probably use a Halfling Swordsage if I do). How many Flaws* are allowed and would it be okay if I posted my character's stats on here rather then making a sheet? (I find character sheets take longer to make then just making them with Notepad does).

Re: [3.5] How Will The Might Be Felled?
I'm fine for being in a party of 4. I just need to work out how to build my character. (I was going to take Shadow Blade with a Flaw and Weapon Finesse so I'd only need Dex for melee attacks.)

Re: [3.5] How Will The Might Be Felled?
No. Unearthed Arcana is not acceptable, as that's simply full of house rules.
Things I will allow from outside sources (any WotC printed, non-Dragon Magazine 3.5 source):
-A single LA +0 race (non-Illumian)
-No more than a single feat
-No more than 2 spells
-A base class and the associated rules (including relevant feats/spells/abilities)
-1 Racial Variant level

2oz Djinn
5oz Water
1 Lime Wedge

Do you count the whole SRD as core? It includes unearthed arcana and expanded psionics handbook.

Re: [3.5] How Will The Might Be Felled?
Arcane Swordsages count as being too cheesy for this, right?
