Hmmm. Interesting. You have: Zealot - spreading beliefs by any means necessary Noble #1 - ingratiating and using social structure to...

It would sort of have to be, wouldn't it? If a single-class martial or a single-class caster has a power level of 1 then the martial...

Or maybe ask if it's possible to post just the poll by itself, without comments.

For just my own character, no. As DM or as player trying to mentally map the positions of everyone in the battle relative to each...

Prior to 3e there were very few spells - mostly illusions - that weren't just fire and forget. Your spell had a set duration, and...

I want my game to care about reasonable simulation more than PC vs PC balance. That is not the same as badly designed, and I won't...
