Ok, yeah I imagine you guys might not want to read the whole thing, so here are some issues I find (although by no means the main strengths of the class) 12th level: Guardian Wings (Ex): While in Dragon Form he gains wings that allow him to fly with perfect maneuverability at 60ft move speed...

Hi, So I'm about to DM (for the first time) and one of the party members is a known power gamer who never seems to think his stuff is broken. Anyways he is planning on playing an Erudite with some spell-power variant but he says "when that gets banned" (note: not "if" -- I guess he is assuming...

So I'm really interested in the Incarnum system but I was reading Sinfire's awesome handbook and a few things seem a little off... It seems to me that the highest your soulmeld capacity can go is 7 (4 from being level 18 + 2 from either improved incarnate soulmeld capactity or improved totem...

So we had this discussion in our group about about how the Hamper Magic ACF for Spellthieves functions against multiclass casters (a.k.a multiple different caster levels). I assumed that this functions against all caster levels of the target you used it against. For example if a level 9...

Haha, I'll be sure to try this out. This DM isn't that knowledgeable but totally suspicious of any kind of cheese and would totally jump a ban on that. Don't worry about it; a lot of people misinterpreted it this way, there were a lot of other posts very similar to yours. I think the wording...

Ok thanks for confirming that; now I don't feel like I'm missing out by going pure spellthief. Yeah, that's how I interpreted it too (it's an all-or-nothing type ability). But if I'm going pure spell-thief and I get enough sneak attacks this ability would be pretty nice (although losing steal...

So I'm making a spellthief for my friend's campaign and I have a couple questions. (btw this is a little bit of a repost from this thread but this question wasn't really related to my original question and the thread kind of died anyway) So everywhere I look I see tons of multiclass...

What it does for single-class spelltheives is that it makes your caster level equal to your level instead of 1/2 your level (as it is normally), which isn't that much compared to what it does for multi-class spelltheives, which I why I'm putting in as a "maybe" option. Honestly I don't...

IIRC Master Spellthief doesn't add to the maximum amount of spell levels you can hold. Master Spell thief says it ," ... stacks for the purposes of determining what level spell you can steal," but the spellthief class description says, "a spellthief can possess a maximum number of stolen spell...

^ thanks for the advice. Personally I'm not doing dips in other classes because I think the Spellthief is really cool and I don't want to delay class features. I finally decided on my feat build and I think I'm going 1: Point Blank Shot Precise Shot Rapid Shot Weapon Focus 3: Crossbow...

I'm glad to see that you also don't think highly of Greater Manyshot; I was under the impression that there was something useful about it I was completely missing, because it looked pretty bad on paper to me too. Thanks for pointing out the Hand Crossbow Focus feat. That wouldn't save me a feat...

Oh I completely missed the Rapid Reload feat, that would be very helpful if I could combine it with Crossbow Sniper. As for the sniping, a -20 penalty is really hard to make, and don't you have to sit next to a corner the whole battle? I also don't see the difference between this and the normal...

So I'm really interested in this class but I have a few questions regarding gameplay and rules: 1) So I was reading this handbook... Jack-Of-All-Trades: Fax Celestis' Guide to Spellthieves - Giant in the Playground Forums ...and I came across this text "...Gives you concealment, which means...

But honestly why else would you use levels on something that doesn't grant HD/BAB/saves, improve class abilities, or progress spellcasting.

Oh I think I get it now. So you could take three levels of bloodline and then 17 levels of fighter. You would be a 20th level character and have 17d10 HD, 17 BAB, +10 Fort +5 Reflex, +10 Will Base saves, be counted as a level 20 fighter for class abilities/caster level (although fighters don't...
