What am I reading? Nietzsche right now. Not sure if it's light reading, though. Then again, I think everyone should read philosophy in their spare time. ;)

I'm 31 years old and heading into my senior year after spending some time in the Army as a sergeant. You will have trouble making any connections with the students because they're so much younger than you and your interests/maturity/outlook is usually quite different. As others have pointed...

Thanks very much! :)

I chimed in with Spell Focus before I read the thread and discovered the previously-unknown-to-me changes to Wildshape. What I read sounds plain dumb. Let's not forget that Wildshape is a MAGICAL ability and it isn't much of a stretch to suggest that a druid (who has a mystical connection to...

Isn't the point of a generic PrC that the DM can graft that particular PrC to his setting with less fuss? It would be nice if every published PrC was accompanied by an organization that taught it, but it's hardly necessary.

Maybe it's bad form to chime in like this, but I think the latest ingredients (misanthropic halfling et. al.) are relatively easy. I glanced at them and had 4 of them tied together almost instantly. :p

Paladins are fighters who are given lots of magical boons from their patron deity. Why is it such a stretch that the deity would grant a magical (celestial?) mount to it's champion that can be summoned when need be? When you strip it down, this ability is nothing more than a built-in...

If there's still room, I'd like to be in! :)

This is true, but a large percentage of all spells in the PHB are variations on simple themes anyway. Lightning Bolt is a Fireball with different energy and dimensions. Shield is Mage Armor with shorter duration. Dominate Person is Charm Person with longer duration. All spells are simply...

Thanks for the replies, everyone. ;) One concern regarding socerers is that they tend to be a bit generic where spell selection is concerned. With such a limited number of spells known, it seems that the spell lists of most sorcerers are quite similar. Spells like Magic Missile, Shield/Mage...

I know that this question might be somewhat minimized if there are any changes in 3.5e that I'm not aware of. With that disclaimer, I wonder if the ability of a sorcerer to cast any of his known spells is adequately counterbalanced by the extremely small spell selection they get? What would be...

I don't mean to sound overly critical, but could you explain this sentence? That seems like a very strange way to approach game design: "What spells should we give the bard?" "Well, there's three or four I think bards would really like. After that, I'll just fill up most of the list with...

While I can appreciate the well-developed views of Sigil, I'm not in complete agreement. ;) Much of the numbers he uses in his post are entirely fabricated. There is no way of determining whether or not the XP a wizard "invests" in Item Creation will create a 1%, 5%, or 50% increase in XP...

Could you summarize the changes to the Sorcerer class, Roy? Will I have to resort to the BoAM version permanently? :)

EDIT: Thought I had something, turns out I don't. Nothing to see here. Move along. ;)
