I'll focus on these two - other have already covered the mage/rogue and the saint. The monk really only has one available pclass - tatooed monk. There are others, but that's the only really useful one, in my opinion. It's not that hard to qualify for, though it does have a throwaway feat...

The naming bit was just hysterical. And the pet rock is just too much. Thanks for another fine update. (I would have gone with the bullywug's suggestion, myself.)

Step by step instructions: 1) Return to town. 2) Go to bar. 3) Listen for rumors about vampires. 4) Find vampire. 5) Allow vampire to vamp a PC. (Pick one you trust.) 6) Kill original vampire. 7) First PC now vamps remaining PCs. 8) Return to door. 9) Laugh as pathetic anti-life shell...

I may be the only one, in which case I apologize, but would it be possible to keep the art on the art thread. Maybe with captions or small thumbnails here? The full sized pictures take forever to download on my dial-up connection (yes, those still exist). They're way cool, but it's...

I have three big problems with it: 1) It's automatic. 2) It has a huge area of effect. 3) It hoses the PCs no matter which side uses it. If the bad guys use it, obviously the PCs are hosed. But if the PCs use it, they've just blown up most of the treasure for the encounter. Either way...

In my experience, such races don't seem to unbalance things. Gray elves make great wizards, but so do humans, halflings, gnomes and dwarves. (Half-orcs suck as wizards, and half-elves get the worst of both halves and shouldn't be used for any class.) The +2 int is nice, but humans get an...

I think we've all had that DM at some point in our gaming careers. In my case, it went something like this: "I throw a grenade into the room," says me. "Ok, that ends your turn. Goon A picks it up, pulls the pin and throws it back. Everybody in the party is caught in the blast and takes...

Marimmar@home has a great point. At high levels, you're going to get hit. You might as well just get used to it. But suppose you get yourself into a bad tactical situation and take a full attack from a dragon with +35 to hit after he's had a few rounds to get your measure. The difference...

It depends on how long you're really intending to continue the campaign. If you're looking long term, the Rainbow Servant is the answer to your question. A wizard/rainbow servant will, by 15th level, have the spells per day of an 11th level wizard (at caster level 15, with Practiced...

The cleric should end up at 14th level. The xp cost for greater restoration is paid first. Then the cleric has his level restored. The spell isn't restoring xp, either from the level drain or the spell's component cost, it's restoring a level. Once that is done, the xp is reset to the...

All of the replies that suggest adding hardness really don't work for making an indestructible weapon. They make a really hard weapon. But your 200,000 gp +5 adamantine sword with 5 of those +10 hardness enhancements somebody suggested goes away 1 in 20 times you hit a caryatid column or rust...

I'm going to chime in to agree here. They just don't see any use. I've seen them cast in a few, very limited circumstances, but not on any regular basis. Those circumstances are one of the following: 1) Magic item creation (making a stat boost item). 2) It's the cleric's 2nd level domain...

Generally speaking, the same spell doesn't stack with itself. Instantaneous spells (such as damaging spells or healing spells) are the exception. Cause fear isn't instantaneous, so it won't stack. A cause fear combined with another effect that causes the creature to become shaken would cause...

When I think of the Suel Imperium, the first thing that comes to mind is extraordinary magic. To run a campaign set in that era, you have to decide how you represent that, and how much to emphasise it. Is magic really common, really powerful, or both? If it's really common, you will need to...

I've seen the golfbag in action. I play with folks whose characters carry 3 bastard swords and a bottle of silversheen. One of my own characters carries enough hardware to outfit a small village militia. Every archer character I know of carries quivers of special arrows. It doesn't bother me...

Hard to say without more information (books allowed, etc.) but the obvious ones are: 1) Practiced Spellcaster. Keep your caster level high, at the cost of a feat. 2) Item creation. 3) Metamagic. Particularly Quicken (so you can blow off more of your large quantity of spells) and Empower...

On the other hand, if you want to be really good at it, you can be. With the right set up, you can start off turning at 5 levels higher. Add in complete divine and you can make every turning attempt a greater turning. If your DM lets you change items slots or combine items, you can end up...

Dude, I know you get bonuses to your Hide check for your tiny size category, but that's more than offset by the huge Gather Information bonuses we get trying to find a barechested blue dude in white tights and hat. Oh, and he's only three apples high. You sorta stick out.

A few problems - first, the spell you described is a "line" spell. It should follow the standard rules for line area spells. Second, the destroying unattended objects is broken. The caster level for something like this is going to be in the neighborhood of 40, which means if it hits an...

First thing to remember is that the NPC classes are way behind the power curve to begin with, so resist the temptation to take anything away (such as class skills or weapon proficiencies) unless you're adding something huge. Looking at the powers you're giving them, they're not getting anything...
