If your primary weapon is Rapier and you have a 20 dex, for God's sake man, take weapon finesse :). Seriously though, that will be your most powerful feat. Also, with a +5 dex bonus to armor, the heaviest armor you are going to be able to wear (that is not mithril) will be studded leather -...

The Church inquisitor seems to be the axiomatic PrC (or at least really close). A PrC serves to specialize a character into a specific niche at the cost of general abilities. This PrC does exactly that. You lose undead turning and gain inquisitor abilities (I think of the Children of the...

Actually, yes. To me, that situation is not different enough from other situations where the rogue is not denied his ability to sneak attack. Let's see if we can come up with a similar situation where the rogue is not inside a stomach to serve as an example of what I mean. Let's say the...

The solution is simple. Have your NPCs continue to use such tactics as you have been. Over time, they will begin to see that those tactics are the more strategic method and work better than hack, slash, and burn. If the really still don't learn...kill them.

If you can't see the question is moot. So let's assume that the PC can see. How on earth are you going to justify not being able to pinpoint vital organs?!?!? You are inside a vital organ! The entire area is a vital organ. No where does it state that being grappled prevents you from sneak...

The concept has already been used: Combat Reflexes Expert Tactician Stunning Attack Freeze the Life Blood FtLB is from OA and renders the opponent immobile - effectively helpless. I believe there were a few other choice feats (II, D, M, SA, etc.) that enhanced this combo, but the basics are...

Elder-Basalisk, I want to emphasize just how effective a quickened turning can be at mid to high levels when the cleric wants to cast a spell. Most undead are CR 7 or below with the vast majority of undead being skeletons, zombies, ghouls, shadows, and wights with a few wraiths and specters...

You rock! Thanks

Very good point about the enhancement bonuses. Fortunately, as it is a spell, you would not be able to doubly benefit from an enhancement on the autocrossbow (don't forget, this spell is designed to be used for an aritificer item for the gnome artificer from MoF). But I agree, that balance...

Runesong42, Welcome to the boards.

So is this balances with other spells of equivalent level? What are all of your opinions? (barely disguised **bump**)

In Ruins of Myth Drannor Adventure there is a reference to a Mezzoloth in Chapter 5 (reportedly trapped inside a fist-sized ruby). I went through MM, MM-II, and MoF and could not find this creature's stats. I presume the Mezzoloth is a yugoloth but could not find anything in my conversion...

Statistically, the auto fail/success works against the players. If they want it fine, but at least give it as an option.

Classes particularly effective: Paladins - with a high charisma their saves are going to be a lot better than a monks Monks Gnome Alchemists Forsakers Psion/Psionic Warriors - (if you use psionics are different) Spellfire Channelers

If that is official errata, I stand corrected.

Wrong. Permanent effects remain.

Smetzger, I once said the exact same thing with something that appeared as a house rule in face but actually was discussing balance. I was pointed to the error of my ways. The reason for this post is not which would you introduce - but which would be most balanced according to the original...

I did include a :). This is actually an option I would hate to see introduced into 3.5. Here is an example of where I think multiple PrC's would be ok: A Human Paladin/Sorcerer joins the Arcane Order (MotAO PrC) and as he is advancing dislikes a decision by the ruling council of the order...

I am not sure if you overlooked that as part of the pole, options included having one of the PrC's be considered an additional favored class. Are you meaning to say that giving an XP for taking a PrC is wrong if it is applied to the first PrC? This is expressly why I offered the options above...

Divining the intention from the original game designers, I don't think they were thinking PrC's would play such a major role in character creation and advancement. Now, it is virtually unheard of to hear of a character without a PrC. Single classed characters are the exception rather than the...
