? nobody mentioned druid/psion or druid/psychic warrior?? druid/wizard is great, but druid/psionicxxx is far more flexible plus, does natural spell worth with arcane spells?

which reduction in power exactly? i suppose i have not kept up with the most current errata, because it still seems like a super-powerful ability to me.

erm? how would that be better? when shapeshifted per the phb2 rules you lose all benefits of worn equipment the lvl 12 forest avenger form gives you +12str, +12NA, but your natural attack damage die goes down to 1d8 from 3d6 (without being enlarged), plus your speed would go from 40' to 20'...

I was browsing through a couple books, and realized that changelings (EbCS) are the only Shapeshifter subtype that is both LA+0 and can be in an "alternate form" all day long every day. This in turn makes them the perfect match for Warshaper. It is terribly easy to get into at a low level, as...

wowzers, you must exercise a LOT, be a big fella, or eat a ton when your at normal eateries = ) that is an AVERAGE of 625 cal/day - 937.5 cal/day deficit to lose that much weight in 2 months. an average meal (quarter pounder w/cheeze, medium fries, medium coke) is 1100 calories...

agreed why is it such a problem to have a melee character that is fun to play, has lots of interesting abilities (not overpowered ones), and has useful out of combat skills? sure the fighter is slightly overshadowed, but there are lots of remedys to that, such as... allowing them the mastery...

just about the only d20 ruleset that i have no experience with... mind enlightening me as to how they soften the powercurve and make it more gritty without just making it so your more likely to die? In grim tales is a lvl 20 char still two orders of magnitude stronger than a lvl 1 character...

As others have mentioned, the idea of set artifacts has been in dnd since 2e. There were actually quite a few. As far as the socket thing is concerned, i say its about time. The potential for this is outstanding, i much prefer the idea of a pouch of augments to a golfbag of weapons. It also...

my biggest problem with the d20 system (or pretty much any level based system) is that real gritty games are nearly impossible to play. Shadowrun and Warhammer Fantasy RP both work far better for anything but high fantasy. I vastly prefer Shadowrun to D20 modern or D20 future, and while d20 is...

So... all your IH characters are forced to be naked? I do not mean to offend you if its not the case, but please let us know if english is not your first language, it would... clarify some things. Aus_Snow made some direct quotations that explicitly state in the writer's own words that the...

thats just how i roll =)

hmm... It seems like there are a various set of arguments being made at the same time, and they all vary based on the assumptions you are making. Are fighters more powerful than casters? Pre/post TOB doesnt change this -Single target =If optimized correctly with access to extremely good...

I am glad to hear your enjoying the variant, I will be interested to hear what you think about them at lvl 10+

I question your assertion that the shapeshifting druid is strictly more powerful than a non-shapeshifting druid of the same level in any significant fashion. There is a bigger difference due to the stat allocation then there is due to the inherent benefits of the shapeshifting ability. Lets...

Overall, not too bad, i am moderately impressed with the synergy between shifter and this druid variant. Now i see the potential for it to be a good variant for the druid, but i am adamant that it needs to be adjusted, there are still too many problems with the variant imho. questions: how are...

Well, a cleric is not quite as MAD as a druid. Clerics need only Wis, Con, Str, typically in that order. Dex is a non-issue because it will be mostly unused because of the full plate + magic items they will be wearing. Druids (shapeshift variants) now need Wis, Dex, Con, Str in that order...

I dont disagree that the druid should be toned down a bit, though as they stand they arent really any more powerful than most of the other pure casers. But our contention is that I think the shapeshift variant is too weak, and you do not. I want the druid to be able to at least stand a couple...

So now he is down a feat and still significantly weaker than a standard druid. I cannot say that i understand why some people feel the overwhelming need to nerf the druid, i would love to see an example of a single class druid that overshadows a fighter in melee using standard wildshape. A...

Not really, its one thing nerfing wildshape, its another to remove the animal companion as well... tossing the proverbial baby out with the bathwater. Also you shouldnt HAVE to take 2 other classes to make the ability worthwhile. Also the fact that the stat bonus is an enhancement bonus, as...
