I'd say that most examples aren't really examples of intelligence as much as they are either quick thinking or observational and analytical skills. I guess you could say that's a part of "Intelligence" as it relates to the game, but it's not a part of what intelligence is in real life.

It says that if you have them all, you may progress into paragon multiclassing, but does that mean you can't retrain them later? It seems sort of like a necessary requirement to get in, but not required to keep afterwards. Maybe I'm reading it wrong, though...

Yeah, I'd say that Polearm Gamble + Heavy Blade Opportunity is nice for a class that has some good at-wills for it. Warlord and Cleric come to mind. I don't know if you'd want to sacrifice the stats for it, but it could be fun.

CustServ makes me laugh :lol: If you ask them about anything controversial (this isn't an example, just saying) enough times, you'll eventually get the response you want. They really don't have any more insight into the text than normal people who can actually read rules text. (and sometimes...

And that was mostly due to Divine Metamagic cheese. Or the Cheater of Mystra. Without that, clerics were still much better than any non-casting class, but didn't get as ridiculous as wizards, IMO. Druids were the most ridiculously overpowered class in 3.5, IMO, especially with Planar Shepherd...

That is exactly the kind of answer I want when they don't know what they're talking about. That way people don't get confused and cite CustServ as an actual authority on things they have no idea about.

Yeah, let me quote myself from another board, since the situation was very similar to this.

Also, the Packmaster in Dragon 364. He has a good alignment pre-req. Since Wizards explicitly said they weren't going to have alignment pre-reqs anymore, (because they're stupid) people were understandably pissed at that. Astral Weapon isn't so bad, but I don't like alignment to have mechanical...

Yes, but it was clear in this case. He said that he activated the at-will power, and suddenly his weapon had the fire keyword.

Items do not have keywords. Damage does not have keywords. Let me make this clear: Powers are the only thing that have keywords! Okay, now that that is over with, because you are using a magic item that has a magic item power, the keywords of that magic item power get transferred to the class...

No, it gives you hit points for every hit. Look at it again. The healing is in the 'Hit' text box. That means it happens on a hit. I believe this is a mistake, as the healing can get quite gratuitous otherwise. And yeah, about the Healing Figurine trick I mentioned, that's why I said 3 healing...

I said if the effect occurs before the attack roll is finished. My interpretation is this: Enemy decides to attack your ally. They are now blinded. They roll, with -5 to the attack due to total concealment. Sucks to be them. Depends on when the effect takes place. If it takes place afterward...

Whoa, does anyone else think that they made a mistake with the healing from Grave-Dust Cloud (Encounter 27)? It gives a massive amount of healing if there are a decent number of enemies in the 7x7 area... Also, Four-Winds Bag (Utility 22) looks quite nice. A per-encounter complete re-arrange of...

Probably custom-tailored for the campaign, too. Maybe even for that encounter specifically.

Almost 100 damage is low? Without crits? Yeah, you're probably right... I'm going to stop posting here... (I tell myself)
