I'm looking to help my friend out with her build on a character. She is playing a half elf ranger. First she thought about using the TWF tree, but with her low AC, I talked her into being a bow based ranger. As of now the party doesn't have any arcane ability other than the cleric's domain spells (fire).

Is Arcane Archer a prestige class to look into? Possibly dual classing as a sorceror with the draconic bloodline. Her favored enemy is a dragon, afterall, it seems to fit. If not Arcane Archer, what?

Thanks

During our last gaming session, I threw a shadow at our party knowing full well the consequences of my actions. As they were all level 1 or 2 and had no magical items or arcane caster present, I thought it would leave it all on the capable hands of the cleric to deal with this monster. My paladin threw me for a loop, though, as he smites evil on the thing. I know that normal weapons pass through the creature, and smiting evil overcomes DR. DR is not being incorporeal, though, is it?

I could be wrong with my interpretation. I let him have it because I was unsure of the rule, but I saw nothing definitive in my rulebook.

I just started DMing a group the other night, and while I have to say we had fun, I was expecting a bit more roleplaying. They did fine in combat situations, but I couldn't even get them to introduce themselves to each other. One is a newb who said he wasn't going to create a background or character goals, but the others have experience before. They said they would work on their background. I offered action points for backgrounds and pictures of their characters, and even gave extra XP for the roleplaying highlight of the game.

Any tips on how to get them to roleplay more?

Thanks
