I remember seeing some polls awhile back that had a list of all of the core spells by level, and people voted on the three (?) most effective at that level. Since I'm making a Wizard right now for a new game we're playing, I'd like to take a look at those polls once again. Does anyone know...

My friend and I are having this argument: at my table, automatic damage powers (our warlock has a rod that lets him deal 1 damage when he curses an enemy; our DM claims that doesn't kill minions) don't kill minions. He claims this is a house rule, and I'm not sure who is right. Is this part of...

Ranger allows for a lot of shifting abilities that let you get into sneak attack position, not to mention the quarry once per day. Anyway, here's what I got. Bear in mind, our DM makes us roll for our stats, and I ended up doing pretty spectacularly. Level 3 Halfling Rogue Str: 15 Con: 13...

I've heard the term used quite a bit here, but a quick google search isn't turning up anything. What is it?

Just curious. It seems that their attack is a little low if that's not the case- but then again, they tend to attack the saves, which are a little lower typically, so maybe it evens out.

Being able to copy and paste the skill descriptions onto my character sheet for easy access would be useful- I almost always make my character sheets in word anyway. I could type out the description myself, but it would be rather tedious. Anyone know where I can find them online?

Alright, a few house rules here: firstly, my DM has ruled that the metamagic restriction on sorcerers is stupid, and I can use metamagic spells without the full round casting time. The other is that Vow of Peace gives me +4 to all my DCs, period, but at the same time, the vow applies to every...

I dunno, it's just never been very useful. Our adventures tend to be just of the kick in the door, kill the enemies sort of adventure, making silent image not very useful. But it's possible that I'm just not using it correctly. Any tips?

I'm play a sorc with 19 charisma, vow of peace and poverty (in other words, he can't deal damage). He's specialized mostly in mind-affecting spells so far, to take advantage of the increased DC. At 1st level he's got color spray, Enlarge Person, Silent Image, and Obscuring Mist. 2nd level...

Depends. If it takes a partial/full round action to activate the true strike, it's moderately balanced, if a bit powerful for a level 5 character. I'd reccomend making it a full-round action to cast, plus you can't use it unless you're physically aware of the enemy. No casting it before...

Exactly my point. Where is the problem? With metamagic feats, sorcies and wizards can keep up with Psion damage at higher levels. At lower levels, psions lack a lot of the party benefiting buff spells that are oh-so useful. Seems pretty balanced to me.

I think you all are forgetting one thing, and that's that the wizard/sorcerer can use metamagic feats to bypass the dice cap. Psions can't really. Take it at 10th level. A Psion vs. a Wizard. A wizard can cast his empowered Fireball for what effectively amounts to 15d6 points of damage...

I'm not familiar with most of those PRCs and races. Care to elaborate on them? I do have one suggestion though: you're in FR, so be sure to take spellcasting prodigy. I'd reccomend taking the sun elf (+2 int) race as well, but since you're set on a gnome...

Earlier, someone posted an idea for turning some PRCs into Prestige Feats. Maybe you can try that out with your group? The sorcerer could take Mage of the Arcane Order feats to gain access to the spellpool, or incantrix feats to increase his proficiency with metamagic (casting empowered magic...

I admire the attempt that wizards made with the mystic theurge, but I disliked its execution. It does nothing to allieviate the problems at low level, and it's pretty overpowered at high levels. So I want to make a core class that has both arcane and divine spellcasting right from the get-go...

It's pretty easy to get past the will save thing, I think. Since my will save is so abysmal, you only need a friendly divine or arcane caster with good DCs to help you out. Have them ready an action to cast either calm emotions or hold person on you as soon as the last enemy is defeated- your...

EDIT: Double post, sorry.

I was just thinking how much damage the Exotic Weapon Master's Uncanny Blow can deal. X2 strength modifier is pretty huge no matter what weapon you're wielding. Consider how much strength a Half-Orc 1 Barbarian/5 Fighter/1 Exotic Weapon Master/ 3 Frenzied Berserker can have: 18 (natural) 2...

I'm creating a level 5 Druid/ 5 Shifter for a new campaign my DM is starting up. The class seems extremely cool, but the choices are a bit overwhleming. I have no idea which things I should shift into as of now. If anyone knows of some way to sort the monsters in the MM by HD and type, I'd...

hmm? I had thought that preparing a blank slot for a sorcerer is no different than preparing one for the wizard. You effectively lose that slot, none of your own spells can be used. You can fill them up with Spellpool spells if you wish.
