The inability to lead does not ever mean there is a willingness to follow. Leadership, as it relates to others' desire to follow you, is indeed based on CHA. Just look at the leadership feat. Your low CHA might simply mean that you want to lead but are way too overbearing, blatant, mean...

Sorc's get Arcane Preparation to mem spells and Wizards get Spell Mastery + Signature Spell to channel spells. :p For the record, couldn't a Sorc use a Pearl of Power (7th) to get back a quickened fireball that they prepared with arcane preparation?

Kerrick brings up a good point. Isolated feats can seem to be balanced or "strong" (not broken), but when coupled with other feats they exceed their original potential, exponentially. Good example, btw.

Good point! I'd really like to know if it applies to each metamagic feat applied to the spell, or just -1 level after all of the adjustments to level are made. This would make a huge difference in how many matamagic feats I'd take. Obviously all the +1 level metamagic feats become free if you...

Just a quick statement in the Aasimar's defense... they are immune to Hold Person. Sure, being a native outsider has a few drawbacks, but not being coupe de'graced at early levels is a boon. ;)

I like the Loremaster PrC. I had one once and it went something like this (in a FR setting): Wizard -5 Harper Mage -5 Loremaster -3 Archmage -1 It was the best built upper mid level caster I've ever had. Those 3 PrC's feed into eachother's requirements so well it's uncanny. When you are...

I"ve seen some things that reduced metamagic levels for spells (like Incantatrix PrC) but they all stated that it still had a minimum adjustment of +1 level. Now, I don't have the PHB II yet so I just gotta ask... is there no minimum stated in the feat description?

When the guy said just because a feat is good doesn't mean everyone will take it, he was saying it in response to the "enchanters just got nerfed" comment. I don't think he meant it as a defense for overbalanced feats, just that for it to be a true nerf for enchanters that has to be a realistic...

I wish they'd make up their minds on Innate Spell. It was changed, then in a 3rd publication of the same feat it was changed back to the original printing. FR Campaign Setting (needs quicken, unlimited uses) Player's Guide to Faerun (doesnt need quicken, 3/day uses) PHB II (needs quicken...

When you are an Archmage with Spell Focus and Greater Spell Focus and anything else you can pile onto a spell (Heighten Spell, etc.) and the BBEG is weak to a certain save. Lets say you really need to kill the boss guy who happens to be a mage also. Round one you throw out a Finger of Death...

Sammael, if your rog has 40+ to hide then he is definately not fighting standard Orcs and they probably have ways of countering sneak attack damage as it is. Apples vs. apples, this bonus range is still not broken. I guarantee if I play a class past level 20 I'll have some form of...

I agree with MarkB and Ifinit on this one. Bad idea to nerf XP for quick fights. The problem lies with the challenge or the power of the party, unless this only happens (like you said) when the party goes first and gets in a very lucky round to end the fight quick. If this is true then it...

Good work! Thanks a ton guys. This helps clear up a lot of what was bugging our campaign. :D Chaos Hammer: Effects only Neutral and Lawful peeps. Does 1d8 per two levels (max 5d8) to Lawful or 1d6 per level (max 10d6) to lawful outsiders and slows them for 1d6 rounds (gives -2 AC...

I really, really need some help here guys. :) A friend and I have been debating a few things back and forth and neither of us can come to a conclusion. Here are the topics that we are requesting your insight on: When I start a new character at Wiz 1, he begins with a spellbook with all...

And if he's flanking with the monk he'll get another sneak attack when they pick up their weapon. Stunned creatures drop what they are doing... literally. ;)

I want you as my DM ;) Ambidexterity, alas, died with 3.0. Two-weapon Fighting leaves you at -2/-2 in a best-case-scenario.

Ranged sneak attack is so hard to abuse that the extra 30 ft. shouldn't be overbalanced. I once grouped with a rogue that did nothing but ranged damage and he rarely got off a sneak attack after the initial combat round (not counting suprise rounds with great initiative rolls). It wasn't until...

Actually Sith, this really doesn't effect the spell at all unless I'm missing some minor nuance that is caused by adding the "personal" wording to the range. If a spells range is "touch" then you simply touch yourself to cast the spell onto your person, like any other touch ranged spell (cure...

Wait, so they added this "personal or touch" to invisibility because they wanted you to use persistent spell feat on it? I'm trying to think of any other effect that requires the spell be range: personal in order for it to work, and I just can't think of any. By the way, 3.0 ed. PHB also has...

Crossbow Sniper is broke? A level 20 ranger gets how many attacks with a longbow? Loading a Heavy Crossbow is a full round action that provokes and even a Lt. Crossbow takes your move action for the round and still provokes, so you'd never get more than 1 attack (without dedicating more...
