All of your vampire templates are extremely overpowered. I suppose that's okay since you're equating them with gods anyway, but I doubt there's much anyone's going to be able to contribute.

Min/Maxing and Munchkinism are not the same thing. You're suggesting the OP posited something that he didn't.

If you have some money to spend, the Pirate Base Class from the Conan d20 is great!

For the record, the d20 Conan game is a BLAST too!

Casting Dispel Magic on a scroll doesn't cause the spell to cast, so I'm not sure what you mean by "unleash." There's no way for a single character to use more than one scroll in a round as far as I know.

Then all your PCs are evil too.

Wow, I had no idea I was post 666; that's fantastic! On a Paladin thread to boot! I'll revel in my evil post for the rest of the afternoon while I stat out a version of Sir Cedric for my next campaign...

But then you have that pesky suspension of disbelief problem...

The same one who let you play a Mind Flayer to begin with?

Who cares what's fair? The question should be is it the system's fault or the GM/Players? In that case, I'd say the system certainly encourages it, and I don't think it's a problem. I draw a line between min/maxing (which everyone does to some degree) and powergaming (which I abhor).

When I first started reading it, I thought, "No, not a chance." However, by the time I finished I was thinking of all of the great potential this character had and that he really still seems lawful good to me. Wow. After reading the rest of the fiction I will be using him (or someone very near...

Yep.

I'd say they only grant the benefits specifically called out in the spell. That means they're still subject to Fatigue, Exhaustion, Dazzled, Dazed, etc. Don't make the spell more powerful than it already is.

Assuming 2 points of Con per hit and an average of 12 Con (to be conservative), that's a dead opponent in 6 attacks. Worst case, 18 attacks (1 point of Con per hit and 18 Con). A Vorpal weapon kills on a natural 20 and a "confirmation roll". That's about 2.5% of the time assuming your...

Sounds like a great idea, but I worry about the added complexity. After all, if you try to make this realistic, what about all of the other mechanics that need reworking? I have (reluctantly) come to the opinion that I cannot make D&D realistic, so I don't add extra rolls/mechanics unless I feel...

Quite right. I guess Practiced Spellcaster wouldn't help at all in this case.

Why not just use Practiced Spellcaster? The LA is there because Drow are more powerful than other races. This feat helps overcome a weakness that presents for spellcasters.

I wouldn't say these are must haves. I'd rather pick up a ring of invisibility than pay two feats. Heck, with a decent enough Hide check, I'll get sneak attacks from hiding and I won't be a giant blob of darkness coming towards my enemies. I'd never take this combo.

Care to explain?

<Begin "Back in my day" Rant> They have significantly weakened the Beholder in the latest editions. I remember when the AM cone didn't interfere with its own eye rays (which could all point forward if they wanted). Why should parties even fear the Eye Tyrants now? <End Rant> The Beholder is...
