        @daermadm So if I am understanding this correctly I need to change a few of my stats to match up with the modifiers correct ?

              As for the Prestige classes @halfgiant tossed out there, Hurling Hulker & War Hulk, I need to work on this.
              I honestly forgot what we did about prestige classes back in the old 3.5 campaign.

              Any thoughts on how we are going to handle prestige classes?

                For Slaad - you were requesting information on throwing player characters in battle. Here are a few feats for you.

                Throw Anything
                Brutal Throw
                Fling Ally
                Natural Heavyweight Feat (x2 carrying capacity)
                Improvised Weapon Mastery

                Carrying Capacity Reference

                Damage Calculation: For every additional 200 pounds of an object’s weight beyond 400 pounds, it deals an additional 1d6 points of damage if used as an improvised weapon.

                Reference found in Complete Warrior on Page 159, Table 4-7 Improvised Weapon Damage

                Object Weight Damage¹ Examples
                Less than 2 lb.² 1d3 Mug, torch
                2 lb.–5 lb. 1d4 Lantern, manacles
                6 lb.–10 lb. 1d6 Chair, shovel
                11 lb.–25 lb. 1d8 Ladder, small table
                26 lb.–50 lb. 2d6 Barrel (empty)
                51 lb.–100 lb. 3d6 Chest (full), big table
                101 lb.–200 lb. 4d6 Cart
                201 lb.–400 lb. 5d6 Wagon

                Damage = Base Damage ( see Improvised Weapon Damage included above ) + ((Objectweight-400)/200) * d6

                Just three levels in Hulking Hurler may be worth taking.

                  Three levels taking the bonuses Meteor Strike and Overburdened Heave IMO.

                            SO…

                            Assuming you have a Strength of 39, Referencing the Carrying Capacity page.

                            And a couple of key rules we need:

                            Bigger and Smaller Creatures
                            The figures on Table: Carrying Capacity are for Medium bipedal creatures. A larger bipedal creature can carry more weight depending on its size category, as follows: Large ×2, Huge ×4, Gargantuan ×8, Colossal ×16. A smaller creature can carry less weight depending on its size category, as follows: Small ×¾, Tiny ×½, Diminutive ×¼, Fine ×1/8.

                            Quadrupeds can carry heavier loads than characters can. Instead of the multipliers given above, multiply the value corresponding to the creature’s Strength score from Table: Carrying Capacity by the appropriate modifier, as follows: Fine ×¼, Diminutive ×½, Tiny ×¾, Small ×1, Medium ×1½, Large ×3, Huge ×6, Gargantuan ×12, Colossal ×24.

                            Tremendous Strength
                            For Strength scores not shown on Table: Carrying Capacity, find the Strength score between 20 and 29 that has the same number in the “ones” digit as the creature’s Strength score does and multiply the numbers in that for by 4 for every ten points the creature’s strength is above the score for that row.

                            Table: Carrying Capacity
                            Strength
                            Score Light Load Medium Load Heavy Load
                            1 3 lb. or less 4-6 lb. 7-10 lb.

                            29 466 lb. or less 467-933 lb. 934-1,400 lb.
                            +10 ×4 ×4 ×4

                            A Hulking Hurler can throw anything that he can carry as a light load (medium with Overburdened Heave part of the Hulking Hurler prestige class).

                            • Hulking Hurler can throw: Strength 39 can throw 1,868-3,732lb (Medium assumes overburdened heave)
                            • Add in Natural Heavyweight Feat and your now at 3736-7464lbs
                            • Add in Belt of the Wide Earth - this would be very easy for Kargin to make for you. You can now throw 7,472-14,928lbs

                            Overburdened Heave: The hulking hurler can throw a weapon up to two sizes larger than his size category, or an item that weighs as much as his medium load.

                            Base damage of a 400lb improvised weapon is 5d6.

                            5d6 + (((14928-400)/200) * d6) = 5d6 + 73d6 = 78d6 (and thats at a 39 strength) + strength damage modifier

                            It’s important to note, i haven’t integrated ALL of the applicable feats into this build, examples are increasing crit range, increase d6 to d8 damage die, etc…

                            The goal of this build is to optimize your strength and carrying capacity to the greatest possible extent. Because at Strength 59 with the right combination of Feats you could be throwing 51200 lbs (102400 w/OH). Combine that with the otherwise useless Natural Heavyweight feat and it becomes 102400 lbs (204800 w/OH)

                            5d6 + (204800-400)/200 * d6 = 1,027d6

                              From the Hulking Hurler - Really Throw Anything class ability

                              The range increment of a thrown weapon or improvised weapon wielded by a hulking hurler is 10 feet + 5 feet per size category the hulking hurler is beyond Large (this is a modification of the Throw Anything feat).

                              Plus Throw Anything Feat

                              Your Range is 10 feet + 5 feet per size category (beyond Large) + Throw Anything Feat = Range of 25 feat.

                              I’m sure the range can be optimized further, i just haven’t dug into it.

                                Slaad please give me the break down of your strength score, i have also included many of the popular ways of increasing your strength below.

                                Base:
                                Starting: 24 (?)
                                Racial/Size modifier: +8 (?)
                                Level Increases to Ability Scores (1/per increase): +4 (?)

                                Items:

                                • Belt of Giant Strength: +6 (Enhancement Bonus)
                                • [Future]Manual of Gainful Exercise: +5 (Inherent Bonus)
                                • Most magic items provide a Enhancement Bonus, but Kargin has the ability to perform an Item Alteration that will allow him to shift the bonus type from enhancement to a circumstance modifier or a competence modifier allowing the benefit to stack with your belt of giant strength.
                                • Belt of Physical Perfection: +6 Enhancement Bonus (Str, Con, and Dex)
                                • Belt of Magnificence +6 Enhancement bonus to all stats
                                • Gauntlets of Ogre Power +2 Enhancement Bonus to Strength
                                • Pale Blue Ioun Stone +2 Enhancement Bonus to Strength

                                Optional - Classes

                                • War Hulk (+2 Strenght/Level) = +20 strength with 10 levels in this class
                                • 10E Fighter has Adrenalin Surge which is a +6 Physical Bonus
                                • Barbarians have Rage which confers a temporary Strength boost
                                • There are others to many to list, the above are some popular ways

                                Buffs:

                                • Giant Size +32 Size Modifier to Strength - will need to be outdoors
                                • Bite of the Werebear - +16 Enhancement Modifier to Strength
                                • Righteous Might
                                • Bull’s Strength
                                • Transformation
                                • Lots of Polymorph Affects - Enlarge Person, Monstrous Shape, Elemental Body, Form of the Dragon, Shapechange, etc…
                                • This list can go on and on…but you get the idea

                                Feats:
                                Surprising the field of stat increases is kind of lame in the Feats area.

                                • Great Strength really lame for a Epic Feat slot, +1 Strength Increase (unlabeled modifier so it stacks with everything)
                                • There may be better options out there, i just haven’t stumbled across them in my notes.

                                Alchemical:
                                Everyone’s favorite subject, this one i defer to Dregnoth on i believe there are Graft options, and probably Mutagen abilities that can also enhance a subject if willing, or unwilling.

                                    By my calculations if you have a starting Strength of 35, giving Kargin a little bit of time and coin, he should be able to get you to 65 strength (there are restrictions to this of course)

                                    Hulking Hurler Prestige allows overburdened heave, for medium load/carry:
                                    Strength 25 can throw 533lb (Medium Load/Carrying Capacity assumes overburdened heave)
                                    Strength 35 -> 2,132lbs
                                    Strength 45 -> 8,528lbs
                                    Strength 55 -> 34,112lbs
                                    Strength 65 -> 136,448lbs

                                    Add in Natural Heavyweight Feat (Doubles Carrying Capacity) and your now at
                                    Feat & Strength 65 -> 272,896lbs

                                    Add in Belt of the Wide Earth - (i don’t see a reason why this wouldn’t stack with the feat, but if not there are ways around it). Very easy item to make. Doubles Carrying Capacity again.
                                    Belt, Feat, and Strength 65 -> 545,792lbs

                                    Damage = Base Damage ( see Improvised Weapon Damage included above ) + ((Objectweight-400)/200) * d6
                                    [Reference found in Complete Warrior on Page 159, Table 4-7 Improvised Weapon Damage]

                                    Base damage of a 400lb improvised weapon is 5d6.
                                    5d6 + (((545,792-400)/200) * d6) = 5d6 + 2727d6 = 2732d6

                                    It’s important to note, i haven’t integrated ALL of the applicable feats into this build, examples are increasing crit range, increase d6 to d8 damage die, etc… this is not entirely optimized. Plus if you dip into War Hulk for 10 levels you get another +20…and things get ridiculous.

                                      @orc what type of Slaad are you a Green, Red, Death, etc…

                                      What other monstrous abilities does your Slaad have since your a 8th level Slaad/15th Fighter.

                                      Also what Feats are you using these days with those bastard swords?

                                        Since we are traveling with a Alchemist, and we talking about the Slaad, it only seems fitting.

                                            Round about, Slaad walking around impregnating everyone, kind of like Dregnoth.
