I just took a RDD-10 from Chap3 to Chap4 and then into SoU with no problems but I am using a patched game as well.

If you run through the OC and figure in the Uthgardt Amulet, Gauntlets of Ogre Power and one of the Belts of Giant Strength that can be found in various chests you will be able to take that max STR 10 points higher as well.
BTW - 40-STR means mod of 15 to hit & damage and being able to carry over ...

AFAIK the BAB determines the number of attacks instead of the level; at the point where the LOWEST Att Bonus goes to +6 another attack gets added at +1.
BTW - all attacks increase at the same rate once gained.

Continuing the hijack:

The Cutlass of pirates fame was not a point heavy weapon. The basket on those things was normally solid metal intended for use as an armored fist in hand-to-hand fighting (picture a really big set of brass knuckles).

This extra weight in the basket would have made the short ...

The written word has great potential for misunderstanding :cool: I apologize for the misunderstanding; I was intending to point the original ...

Try this thread.

I found this as the second hit in a search for "invalid character" with this thread as the first.

The rapier is the only "medium"-sized weapon to be classified "light"-weight. Try it on one of your own characters and see what I mean.

Most people would look at the picture provided by the creators of the game when attempting to visualize a rapier but those pictures are more likely sabres instead ...

I am glad to have been of help; you made your point with Overwhelming Critical - I was unable to find that link.

The reason we have only leveled up Rogue during the last couple of levels is to bring our Rogue level within 1 of your Weapon Master level, thus allowing us to once again advance as a fighter without incurring an XP penalty. Prestige classes do not suffer the XP ...

You mentioned the difference between Spell Resistance and Damage Reduction; do the DRs stack for multiple items?

Ring of Elemental Resistance (DRed 15/cold)
Amulet of the Master (DRed 30/cold)

IIRC, these items were in use when I fought the master of the globe and never once ...

RDD is particularly nasty if you TRIPLE-class to get it.
Combine any primarily melee class with one level of Sorc by 5th and you can start down the road as RDD. They increase BAB as a thief and increase their stats to incredible levels (+8STR, +2INT, +2CHA, +2CON) besides the normal increases at ...

I've gotten two of them so far…

Where did you get the second? I just recently stopped checking them before stacking and I would hate to think that I just created a stack of USELESS & WORTHLESS Fire Opals.

Another minor detail for those playing RDDs:

Strength enhancers are stacking for my character. The Uthgart amulet (quest item), a belt of giant strength (random magic item), and Gauntlets of Ogre Power (purchased in Luskan) EACH affect the STR stat for my character. With the natural increases for ...

if/when I start replaying, I'll try to notice where I pick it up. I picked up the same thing and noticed the 0GP sale value before getting any more - it showed up in the first part of chapter 2. If it IS a plot ...

Quick questions:

RE BAB advancement:
AFAIK - Fighters gain +1/Level: Wiz/Sorc gains +1/??Levels? What about Rogue or Cleric?
How do the MELEE prestige classes advance - Arcane Archer, Dwarven Defender, Champion of Torm? What about the other non-base specific Prestige classes (AFAIK RDD advances at ...

A few further questions, then: Is there any difference in the result depending on the combination?
I have not seen many of the lower-value gems since getting to 9th level (a lot of Topaz, tho'). Will these gems reappear in quantity or do we need to save them when we get them ...

Forgive the noob comments, but …

I've only barely made it into Chap2 and have yet to see the MS-III (Dire Wolf) be useless.

If you were running at CL21 and attempting to use a MS-IV, then I would expect it to be outclassed; I would be surprised if the same thing happened with a MS-VI (available ...

I created a sorc after installing the HotU expansion and gave him the Craft Wand feat at 6th after putting a number of points into the Craft Weapon skill. Plenty of bone wands were crafted from skeleton bones and then enchanted with a number of different spells before actually getting to Chap2 of ...

Which gems have other uses?

ALSO …

1. I have found a bunch of Sapphires in Chap2 and they are described as blue variants of the Ruby. Are they more or less valuable than that jewel?
2. What other jewels are in the game?[/list=1]

I've got a Dragon Disciple with a magical scythe (+1) having some problem when attempting to bash almost any item; I have seen DRs of 5 (REALLY common - especially desks & armoirs), 10 (only slightly less common), 15 (quite a few), 20 (frequently), and even a few 40s (rarely, but notably the one in ...
