The Red text.

Bendability doesn't make a flail any less a bludgeon, same applies to chains.

Lets restate that a little more accurately : Morningstar: a weighted Iron bludgeon with spikes attached. Spiked chain : a weighted Iron bludgeon with spikes attached.

Huh, acording to the srd you seem to be correct, however any logic that keeps it from dealing bashing should also apply to the morningstar.

piercing/bashing, it can sunder. not that sundering is often a good idea anyway.

On That note you could fold balance into tumble, and split spellcraft between the appropriate knowledge skills.

The Spiked Chain is not overpowered, the majority of exotic weapons are underpowered.

Liches dont have spell/power resistance. They do on the other hand have damage resistance that applies against the piercing type damage a Crystal shard does.

What are you interested in advancing primarily? If you are willing to spend 2 feats to get in 1 level of Dragon Slayer from the Draconomicon gets you proficiency with martial weapons 2 good saves, d10 hp, a point of bab, a few mostly irelevent anti-dragon abilities, and a caster level. only...

That's just a Guideline for creating encounters, it wouldn't apply if a player actually wanted to create a character with an NPC class.

Let's compare that Damage to a Warriors Shall we. Not a Barbarian in his rage, not a Fighter with his Feats, not an evil-smiting Paladin, But the humble NPC Class Warrior. Your monk has spent 2 feats and 13 thousand gold on enhancing his damage, let us see what damage a Warrior with a similar...

Why Not? I's not like Monks deal particularly good Melee Damage for a Character who has dealing melee damage as their only effective combat role. And if you let them have a monk's belt the feat stops doing anything at level 15.

Because they are comparing Sneak attack to Sudden Strike, not Sneak attack to Sudden Strike and invisiblilty. Just as they said they were. There are other classes besides Ninja that have the Sudden Strike ability and not all of them can turn invisible.

An Archivist isn't going to get most of their spells from random treasure scrolls any more than a Wizard is. Thay are going to trade with other Archivists, or convince divine casters to teach them. If a core only archivist wants to learn Neutralize Poison for example they will ask a Druid or...

A Wizard doesn't have access to the Bard spell list, an Archivist has Access to every divine spellcasters list. You don't need crazy prestige class hijinks in order for the Archivist to be broken, all it takes is Domains, Druids and Adepts. And if by "common sense" you mean "ignoring the rules...

The cleric casts spells from the cleric spell list and has limited access to 2 domains spell lists. The cleric casts spells from the cleric spell list and the druid spell list, and the ranger spell list, and the paladin spell list, and the adept spell list, and the Blackguard spell list, and...

Int based divine spellcaster who mooches off everyone elses spell lists. Boring and overpowered.

It chases you down and eats your armor. You are move 20' and run at x3, it is move 40' and runs at x4. I see people advocating flight from dangerous encounters all the time without considering the monsters ability or likelyhood of chasing down the party. There is no point in fleeing if all it...

There are a couple of problem powers you will have to look at carefully and possibly ban/houserule for your table. two things though: 1) There are a lot of problem spells you will have to look at carefully and possibly ban/houserule for your table. That doesn't mean you should ban...
