I was thinking that a Paladin of Freedom/Divine Bard might be interesting to combine.

I originally went for regular bard, but Divine bard is just better than regular bard.

Hmm . . that's a neat idea, actually. I'll ponder that for a while.[br][br]However, not to the extent that you have.

Price check! On a Repeating Dwarven Rifle?

I really don't like the way repeating crossbows work in 3.5. So, I'm thinking of adding an alteration.[br][br]Under the proposed rules, a repeating crossbow as listed in the PHB would not exist.[br][br]Instead, "Repeating" would be a strange, most likely gnomish alteration that could be ap...

Re: Andy's new fixation this week--weapon sundering.

1. In the SRD, under sunder, it does not say that you need anything special to damage a magic weapon. Unless it says that you still need magical weapons to damage another weapon elsewhere, which would make no sense at all, it's not a stealth rule change, it's a legit rule change from 3.5. (Note that...

"If I want your opinion, I'll beat it out of you!" - Something that I am fond of saying. One time I said it really loud, to my wife, in the middle fo a crowded supermarket. She yelled at me for that, she said we were getting strange looks. I really didn't notice any.
