Good question -- a similarly good question is why you mention my aunty (and you forgot the 'u'!) in the name of the thread. Your loosing it, man!

That is EXACTLY how specialized he is -- he can't use wands or scrolls of any of the other schools. That's one helluva limitation. My current thought is doubling the number of spells known at each level -- exactly what you suggest -- I was just wondering whether that's still too limiting.

No, to balance the addition of spellcasting you'd have to give this new fighter a worse BAB. Probably start them at +0, and then +1 every two levels. I can see giving them a feat every four levels, though -- that makes sense.

Thanks for the opin'. 4k for 12 emeralds . . . about 300gp per automatically countered Command spell or other effect is maybe a little cheap, but it's true that a Ring of Counterspells is also pretty damn cheap for what it does. I based the effect of the emeralds on the Bard's song -- it's...

Baloney. There may be enchantment specialists and evoker specialist sorcerers out there, but I am very skeptical that any of them have a known spell list lacking Shield, Expeditious Retreat, Dispel Magic, Haste, Teleport, Fly, and so on. Maybe they don't have all of them, but I very much doubt...

I agree. Like, what if they couldn't wear armor, but could cast spells?! That'd ROCK!

It's important to note that if you take a level of Hero, your progression actually slows, because you've leveled; in your system, if you buy a bunch of feats, you actually advance quicker than you should be advancing. In other words, kenjib's point -- a 4th level fighter with four extra feats is...

Thought that as the unofficial unsponsored 4CTF flunky I should point out that the Hero Class in 4CTF prices a feat as 2 Hero Points; and the only real benefit offered by the Hero class is d4 hp, bad save progression, wizard BAB, and 8 hero points. Meaning that a Feat should probably be worth...

*sigh* I have to say I was disappointed to find that the name of this thread was just a charade. There's far too few threads tackling the dicey subject of fighter castration.

*BUMP* Need to price this today, as it's possible that the party is going to try to pick one of these up at Ye Local Magicke Shoppe.

*sigh* Let's assume that they are using Protection from Evil, okay? Given the party is a band of humanoids (consisting, at this time, of an orc, a goblin, a kobold, a Dark Creeper, and a xvart), it's not exactly a stretch. Perhaps this shows me how silly it is that the spell protects against...

The conjurer in my campaign (who cannot learn Dispel Magic -- he's got a special class limiting himself to the schools of Conjuration and Divination) is looking into researching a spell that would allow the monsters he summons to ignore Protection from Evil effects -- specifically, the effect...

Bracelet of Silence A Bracelet of Silence comes with twelve emerald crystals which offer the wearer contingent protection against sonic effects. If the wearer is targeted by a sonic effect, or is in the area of a sonic effect, an emerald shatters, sending a brief wave of silence over the wearer...

I started with the good ole red Basic set, moved to Expert, and then started 1E . . . . . . just in time to buy a Deities & Demigods with stats for the Cthulhu mythos, not to mention munchkinny ole Elric. Woohoo!

Absolutely. I've been playing since 1E, and while there always used to be munchkinny Monty Haul players, there have been some notable changes. 1) 3E, as opposed to the earlier editions, seems to place even more imporance On Ye Olde Magic Shoppe. I think that Everquest/Baldur's Gate/etc. had a...

Maybe I was insane for suggesting the get all of the spells, but I gotta admit that I think some of you are nutcakes for suggesting that the sacrifice of SIX SCHOOLS OF MAGIC can be balanced out by giving him a couple Knowledge skills as class skills and giving him a bonus feat every five levels.

I guess we have different definitions of the word "broken".

Officially, no -- just like officially, the Fly spell gives you no bonus to Move Silently, even though you're gliding instead of walking around. I would expect your DM to rule that it hurts your Hide bonus, though, if he thinks of it. I know I would. I don't assume that someone who is Hiding...

I have to agree with you on this one -- it's just too stupid to allow. Why should you get double damage for knocking someone on the head with a shield charge, and not a charge with a greatsword? The people with Shields get enough of a bonus already, esp. at medium to high levels. It seems to...

Yes, and I decided that the game would be far less interesting if all high-level PC/NPC battles came down to a question of whether one side had a buddy who was a 7th+ level wizard. The idea of all parties, PC and NPC, in the entire world, traveling around looking like giants or hags or trolls...
