But, don't forget that 'regular' Masterwork armor can't be resurrected back into a (most likely ticked off) Dragon...

Okay.. No clue where you're getting that from, as in my first post in this thread, I provided an example using bracers of armor. And yes, the shield spell would stack. Yeah, but at the level where you get Bracers +8 (which cost 64k!), you could have a suit of Mithril full plate +5 (with an...

It doesn't stack with actual armor or an actual shield, which doesn't make it optimal or anywhere near as optimal as you seem to be making it out.

Except that the Monk's belt AC Bonus doesn't stack 'with all other types', so that's a flawed comparison already.

The latest Sage column in Dragon also states you can't save anything (feats, ability points, or skill points). Everything must be used when gained at the level increase.

Um, I think you are. As others have said, the character has to stay at a light load. Clerics also have to give up their shield. Lets take a 12th level Cleric. Assuming you got a set of bracers +8, had a dex of 14 (dex isn't really needed for clerics) and a wis of 22, that's AC 26. Now, the...

Yeah! Because playing by the RULES is bad! The PCs shouldn't even have to roll dice! They should just always win!

But, even WISH isn't as powerful as MDJ. I guess I could probably 'Wish' for all my enemy's magical items and current magical buffs to be forced to make a will save, but, even according to Wish, I can't 'duplicate' what MDJ does directly. So, making a Wish that mimics MDJ is *definitely*...

Nope, I don't think so. Lawful alignments (good through evil) are much more group oriented, hence the 'lawful', as most societies have laws that must be obeyed (even evil ones). This includes a group of PCs who, if they're all lawful, may indeed have some kind of charter. A LE PC might give...

If you removed AoOs, then I wouldn't see a problem with it. Otherwise, you're really screwing the spellcasters.

Which never comes up into play when PCs buy magic items, which implies that *every* magic item they buy is "Certified Newly Created". That's pretty much hogwash, as there'd be such a glut of 'used' magic items after a certain point. No, some (or even most) of the items the PCs buy (save...

Warrior: Swashbuckler, Fighter/Paladin/Kensai, Ranged Ranger/Rogue/Order of the Bow Initiate, Totemist. Healer: Ranged Ranger/Rogue/Order of the Bow Initiate with a wand of cure mod. Potions. Arcanist: None Rogue: None, really, as the only person with rogue levels had no ranks in...

But, in all honesty, except for wands and other 'expendables', there is no normal 'wear and tear'. That +1 greatsword is as good now as it was 1000 years ago when it was buried in the crypt, and just as good as it'll be 1000 years from when the PCs sell it. The only real wear and tear *any*...

Exactly, which is why I don't have any problem with the scout having learned some kind of 'special' juking or feinting via the movement that other classes haven't, just like SA classes learn something 'special' that fighter type classes can't (without level dips).

But, why can't a fighter hit vitals when she's flanking or catching the opponent flat footed then? The same condition applies as for the rogue. And, the fighter has been trained on how to fight and kill, and one would surmise, bring down an enemy as quickly as possible.

Lots of the same replies could be made about SA, especially why a fighter (who should be very intimate with the best ways of killing someone, such as striking vital organs) doesn't have access to that ability without taking at least one level in a class that has it. I guess I, personally, don't...

Yes, and because she moved, the opponent no longer has any idea where or when the attack is coming from. I personally see it as something similar to a Feint (like a rogue would do) except there's no roll involved, as the scout has to move at least 10' to activate it (and possibly incur AoOs...

I didn't understand that either. It's like saying "I don't use the Players Handbook because it contains the Spiked Chain*." *A weapon many people don't like and so don't use. Replace with your own personal item/feat if you happen to like the Spiked Chain. :)

Meh. Fast movement is nice, but it limits your armor selection, which prevents a fighter or cleric (classes who normally benefit from heavy armor) from using it. It also pretty much precludes spellcasting when raging, so again, any light HP classes (like wizard, bard, and sorcerer) or casting...

Either an item could be crafted for a different slot, or it could be made 'slotless' for twice the cost. (A +2 wisdom item would be 8k if it were slotless, for instance.)
