What's My Motivation?

Hey folks, just thought I'd throw down some ideas here for the future, since you are all fast approaching 4th level, and soon you'll be eligible for Prestige Classes and some of the higher-level feats. So...do with my suggestions what you will, and if you have any questions, ask away. I'll help you as much or as little as you like.

Everyone: Check out PHB II. It added a ton of great options for Feats (mostly after lvl 5 or 6) & some nice prestige classes...maybe even a class or two you might like to multiclass into. Also, Miniatures Handbook is good. Completely compatible with D&D 3.5.

Qiang: You are just as well off going straight Monk as you are taking a Prestige Class. Check out Complete Warrior & Races of Destiny if you want to see what prestige class options are there, or if you want to see about the paragon classes (you qualify for both Human & Elven...Elven might be in Races of the Wild). It's possible that Complete Divine has Monk stuff, but I haven't checked it out. I also recommend Book of Exalted Deeds...you know why. ;-)

Maric: Complete Warrior is your best bet. Look into the options provided by PHB II & Miniatures Handbook, as well.

Isolde: Complete Adventurer, Races of the Wild, & Complete Scoundrel are your meat & potatoes books. Look for some advanced options for Sneak Attack, as well as feats that could help you stay out of harm's way from a distance. If you'd like suggestions, let me know.

Brenys: You have a ton of options, since Rangers are at the crossroads of several class types. Complete Adventurer, Divine, Warrior, Races of the Wild, and the books I recommended to everyone all have good options for Rangers, depending on what path/skill set you wish to focus on. Complete Adventurer has the "Oversized Two-Weapon Fighting" Feat I was telling you about. It lets you wield a 1H wpn in your off-hand and you only take a -2 penalty instead of -4. You only need STR 13 & Two-Wpn Fighting for it.

Nox: You know the path you're going down and the books you need. Let me know if you want some further recommendations.

38: You also have a good grasp of the path you're pursuing. Check out Races of Eberron, the Eberron Campaign Setting, & Complete Warrior for some great combat options or options that focus on your racial benefits.

LeiAna: Artificer is an excellent straight class, much like Monk. Of course, you are perfectly set up to pursue the Dragonmark Heir prestige class from the Eberron Campaign setting which will greatly enhance your dragonmark abilities, and partially allow you to keep up with the Artificer, though you won't get all the benefits you would leveling in Artificer (it enhances your dragonmark considerably, though). Check it out if you're interested. Otherwise, check out the Dragonmarked book for a lot of great options for enhancing your mark yourself, and I think there may be a few prestige classes in there for House Cannith. See if the book Five Nations has anything you are interested in, as well. Your character, like 38, is basically a paragon of the Eberron world...no shame in focusing on those strengths.

If anyone has any questions, concerns, or snide remarks, feel free to let me know...though I know none of you are shy about such things so...go with G.O.D.

I wanna ride the pony!

Speaking of the infamous pony, I guess I should mention that I'll be heading back to my woodlands kin in order to be trained in riding the damn thing as well as mounted combat.

Also, any ideas on a name for it? I was thinking of Tyr (heroic glory) for a male and Snotra (wise & graceful) or Thrud (strength & power) for a female.

Any better ideas?

yeah, never mind about that naming nonsense. I'm not sure I want a pony right now. This training business sucks. So many feats, so little XP...
