Harder, Better, Faster - A Handbook on Building Better Bastards

[IngloriousBastard]

Link is Here

This is my first handbook.  It needs a little fleshing out in terms of some of the mental stats, races, temples, and eventually spells.  I'm always open to expanding this since I've not seen a handbook that solely focuses on stat bonuses which are really the bread and butter of D&D.  I've not scoured all sources (yet), but I plan on adding to it little by little.  But it definitely has a good start.

I did something like this a while back.  It's been over a year since I updated it though, despite having a bunch of additions ready. 

I you want, you can inherit all that information.  Most of it either came from looting threads with titles like "Ways to increase charisma?" or was put forward in the comments of the old version on BrilliantGameologists.  You should probably fact-check it though.  Off the top of my head, I've noticed that half-orc paragon is wrong.  (Though I haven't done anything about it.) 

Could I convince you to change the name to Harder Better Faster?

Blessing of Kord, not Cord

I can merge the information if you want.  Probably will be a few days to get the work done since I'm still working on this one.  Also fixed the Blessing of Kord typo.  I like that toon you linked it's very much inline with the threads

Aw. I thought the alliteration was awesome.

Outcast Champion's Desperate Fury is listed twice under Strength (once missing the 1/day limit and the ability to share at 5th level), and not at all under Dex and Con.

Sworn Foe under Str and Con are incorrectly listed as being Outcast Champion abilities (should be Corrupt Avenger).

Frenzy and Greater Frenzy under Str are incorrectly listed as being Frenzy Berserker abilities (should be Frenzied Berserker). Also, Greater Frenzy's format is inconsistent with the way other rage-like improvements are described. Finally, Frenzy should say nonlethal damage, not subdual damage.

Tarrasque Apotheosis under Str and Con incorrectly state a -2 penalty to Intellect (should be a -2 penalty to Intelligence).

... and that's as much editing as I feel like today. Thanks for the compilation. It looks pretty useful.

The classic thread was/is X Stat To Y Bonus

... nothing wrong with cross-pollination.

I'm working on converting the data to a tabular format which should help me with some bulk importing from your thread Maat.  Basically, once I'm done everything will be in a nice and pretty tabular format that is easy to maintain.  Since I'm moving all the data into sql tables and then generating output for the forum threads it's going to be a little bit of work.
