Nostalgia Game in 3.0
« on: May 10, 2011, 02:07:38 AM »
Looking for brain storming ideas for character ideas in DnD3.0. Have a DM with a really restricted book list and want to throw ideas out for some friends.
3 Core 3.0 Books(MM, DM and Players)
Masters of the Wild
Sword and Fist
Defenders of the Faith
Song and Silence
Tome and Blood
Psionics Handbook
and the oddball Draconomicon

My understanding was 3.0 really made cleric archers badass, mostly with magic arrows and bows stacking their enhancement bonuses.

You could also Power Attack with light weapons, meaning you could TWF and do better with Power Attack than with a two-handed weapon.

A lot of the warrior-type PrCs were nicer back in 3.0, so they might be worth looking at.

I seem to remember Mage of the Arcane Order being a lot better in 3.0, allowing you to build a spell pool dept, and better yet, pump unused spell slots from one day into future potential for the next day!

Other than that, it's been a while since I've looked at my 3.0 books, so I don't have any other good ideas.

Avoid 3.0 psionics like a plague of syphilitic housecats during Bring Your Commoner To Work Day.

[spoiler]Masculine men like masculine things. Masculine men are masculine. Therefore, liking masculine men is masculine.

I dare anyone to find a hole in that logic.

Not to mention power attack only gave 1:1 hit/damage ratio regardless of the weapon being one or two-handed.
Yeah.  That's why TWF would do better.
