Thanks Shilsen and Sejs. That's what I figured, it just doesn't seem to fit the flavor of the character I guess. It's interesting that in Skip William's article, Spellthieves with Class, he says it's advantageous for a Spellthief to carry a ranged weapon because when your within 30 feet "you...

I'm in the process of rolling up a Spellthief (base class from Complete Adventurer) for a new campaign I'm playing in. According to the description of the Steal Spell and the other key spellthief abilities, you can sacrifice +1d6 of your sneak attack damage to steal a spell, a spell effect or a...

Here's my advice: 1) Have your group play Shadowrun 3rd Edition for several sessions. 2) Then start playing D&D again. Suddenly D&D combat will seem lightning quick.

Hmmmm... I am DMing both my groups this weekend... * presses fingertips together * Excellent!

Create a weak NPC that they have to protect. Make sure they know the consequences if the NPC dies. It'll help keep them from zerging your badguys while at the same time create a fitting role for them. Use casters against your PC's. That's their weakness so they'll have to start using...

I like the Attritions. The only issue with it is that MT's already suffer from stunted spell progression and players aren't going to want to sacrifice any more. If players want flavor, there's plenty of PrC's with flavor. If a player choses an MT, they want the simultaneous arcane/divine...

You must be doing something right if this has been going on for several sessions and they keep showing up. Is there a part of the game they start focusing again? Like for combat? Speaking of combat, do you try to create strategic scenarios for combat, or do you just set a bunch of orks in...

Good points. I'm certainly not married to Undying Rage at all, it was just one of those things I pulled out of the Frenzied Berserker. I'm not sure if Inspired Rage should wait until 10th level though - I see it more as a class-defining feature than a reward feature if that makes any sense...

That's a great idea, Brain... I think I will.

Well since no-one has said anything, this PrC must be absolutley perfect. Since it's so perfect, everyone's going to want to swipe it. When you swipe it, you might want to swipe the sktech I did of the PrC as well, so I am including it for your swiping pleasure. And if for some reason it's...

I want to make it clear that I'm not suggesting that the entire focus of the classes shift towards element vs. opposing element abilities. I'm just thinking one or two things on the class feature list that are in-line with what the Paladin and Monk have right now. I completely understand that...

I'll try and come up with some ideas and post them to the appropriate thread. Off the top of my head I think that a ability called "Evaporate" would be cool for the Barbarian, but I can't think of exactly what it would do right now. Turn water creatures into air creatures so that the earth...

Good points, Thia, and yeah - I see both sides of this too. However, either way there still seems to be an imbalance that needs to be addressed. Let's look at this from a group dynamic standpoint. Let's say you have 1 PC of each of the four elemental classes. A Water Paladin, a Fire...

I think it would be interesting to have the the PrC continue the sorcerer's spells per day/spells known progression, but then make all the bard spells available to this progression. It would mean that 1) they would get a big jump start from the slow bard progression for bard spells and 2) from...

If you have Races of Stone, you might find a lot of inspiration there too. I've come a bit late to these threads, so forgive me if I missed a concept here or something. I was just thinking that now that you have a basic idea of what all 4 of these classes are going to be, you might want to take...
