Then what's the problem? "gets beat up by anybody" isn't a ringing endorsement for uberness. When the party's spellcasters start losing spells, how popular will you be then? PCs do not exist in a vaccum. They must work with other party members. The character gets versatility, as the expense of...

By that reasoning, a Druid with Draconic Wildshape can't turn into a dragon, because druidic wildshape restricts you to animal forms. The Divine Minion's restriction on forms is irrelevant, as is the druidic one, because MoMF adds additional permitted forms. The wording of MoMF is clear that it...

Most powerful? Compared to what? It's a good melee build, but as usual a high-level wizard or cleric would own this character. Add some PrCs to optimize a full-caster build and the differential widens. At mid-levels this build is powerful, but Shapechange is still better than anything it can do...

I find it odd that no creature type is immune to the "nauseated" and "sickened" conditions. One would think that, at a minimum, constructs and undead should be, being nonliving. By the usual rules of English construction, being immune to disease should make one impossible to sicken, but as...

I think they (Medusa's gaze, etc) should be, given the nature of the effect and the obvious similarity to Flesh to Stone, but I can't find any support for the position in the RAW.

It's a technically illegal build. Werebear is large, and one of the prerequisite feats for Reaping Mauler requires size medium or smaller.

An excellent proof that Foresight is absurdly, woefully underpowered for its level.

The loss of multi-function spells (Eyebite, Symbol) in 3.5 nerfed the Sorceror far more than the Wizard. I doubt this was unforseen, but given WotC's antipathy towards the Sorceror, I don't think they cared.

I would argue, then, that Blasphemy's failure to have the Death descriptor is an error, not to mention terribly unbalanced. "Cast spell == you die" is IMO indisputably a Death effect.

Minotaurs rule! The Minotaur (6 monstrous humanoid HD, +2 LA) is a pretty balanced +LA race. I think most players would be happy playing, or being in a party with, a minotaur. Never gets lost + darkvision == great Underdark race.

Something weird afoot In D&D, you can't resurrect an unwilling spirit, and I can't imagine why an apparently good woman would choose to be resurrected by a Banite cleric. Something rather odd is happening here :(

Of all the abilities I would worry about, Mind Blank at will is very, very far down my list. It's an 8th level spell; so what? Magic Missile at will would be far better, and it's only a 1st level spell. If anything, Mink Blank at will is a terribly weak ability for its by-the-book LA.

I'm not convinced that having the [Evil] descriptor should matter in this case. Why? Because an evil-aligned character does not have the [Evil] descriptor merely by being evil. Therefore, the negative-level property of an aligned weapon must trigger off alignment, not descriptor. Since the...

"cast all first level spells" is a much better feat than "use all martial weapons". How about it? A feat can be more powerful than the norm if you have to be higher level to get it, simply because it's no longer unbalanced at the level you get it. I happen to like feat scaling, especially for...

There seems to be some conflict between promoting effective followers so as to promote the greatest evil in the multiverse, and promoting potential rivals for your position.
