And what exactly is wrong with low level spells that see use in higher level play? 'Cause I don't see the harm at all.

The one and only mind flayer fight I ran was over rather quickly. They beat one down in a matter of rounds, the other managed to charm the party's fighter, who then proceeded to beat everyone else down, but the second one was dead in a few more rounds. They managed to get the drop on them. I...

I agree, that's crap. there should be a male only PRC for every female only PrC. (I've added Eye of Gruumsh and Cavalier to male only PrCs, for example. Might have more, but I can't think of it.)

I played 2E. I didn't like it. IT made me quit until 3E came out. If you're looking for better answers than that, you're going to be disapointed, it's all a matter of opinion.

I have sexism in my world. Bot every races is overtly sexist, although certain individuals of a race not otherwise known for sexism might be. Hobgoblins, in general, are brutally sexist. They don't even name their females, in fact. If you kill your wife in a rage, it's assumed she had it...

I honeslty don't know. I think it's because unlike insistance to the contrary, Wizards.com doaesn't have a problem with undermoderating, they have an overmoderating problem. I don't blame the actual mods though, they are doing what their boss tells them to do. I just think that too many rules...

What I did to the sohei was: 1. Take away frenzy completely, make flurry usable with any weapon at any time. 2. Give good reflex saves 3. Give them armored speed bonuses. (First, they got to ignore penalties for wearing heavy armor, then they got speed bonuses, but not as fast as a monk...

Yeah, because then they would suck if they spent all their feats on power knowledge, when they'd be better off taking the high up metapsionic powers to increase their damage. I would say one feat every 3 levels myself.

Well, I gotta say one thing here: Since you guys are griping about Arturick behind his back like little schoolgirls, I'm going to say a few things in his defence. What Nightfall didn't tell you was that he sstalked arturick just to harass him. If arturick posted, you would find nightfall...

Automatic max HPs for PCs and villains with levels of PC classes. Random encounters, summoned monsters, NPC classed monster, and lesser encounters take average rolls. BBEG always has max HP. About the evokers being weak, even if I didn't have max HP, if I just had average HP, they would seem...

I don't like their current niche, so I changed it in my world. In my world, they're considered intermediaries btween human and orc tribes in the norhtern wastes. And in their home, they're respected by both sides, the humans admire their bravery and strength, and the orcs admire their...

Basically, I like my PrCs balanced high. I don't use blatently broken PrCs, but I do want my PrCs to be prestigious. So, all prcs that don't match the floowing, therabouts, are weak in my eyes: Fist of Raziel Celestial Mystic Illithid slayer <Can't think of more right now, don't want to look...

If by "Chain lightening effect" you mean "Deals a piddly amount of damage to creatures that, by the time you get the ability, will barely even notice", then YES, it DOES have a chain lightening effect. 2d6 (2d8 if evil outsider) damage isn't a big deal at 16th level. And if you take one...

Although I am perhaps younger in age than most of the old time players, I am still an old guy in spirit, having learned roleplaying while playing OD&D in 1994 or so. (20 years too late, but hey, better late than never.) I liked that old version. A lot, actually. It had a feel that no other...

The 14th level druid in my game annihilated a Cr 14 monster by herself in two rounds. The Huge elemental she summoned before that annihilated the other monster in a few more. Wildshape into a dire bear, then grapple. You win. Even with the 3.5 DR, she managed to do so easily. (As in, her...
