    No Prestige Classes

    First of all, let me say that I'm not trying to be an ass and it's fine if we just disagree here. I'm just trying to provide a different perspective and a perspective that I imagine your players will have. Continuing -- it's not about cherry-picking at all. As a player I rarely take more than...

    No Prestige Classes

    The problem with feat chains as a way to express a "prestige class" or other concept is that, in that capacity, they lose their value as differentiators and customization. I.e. if you are spending all your feats to express that you are an Order of the Bow Initiate then you don't have any left...

    Critique my Cleric Revamp. Please!

    Hi. Please (!!!) help critique this cleric (priests to me, I'll call them that from now on) revamp. In my campaign (loosely inspired by Steven Ericson's Malazan books), priests aren't that different from sorcerors and there are no wizards. Spell memorization doesn't really make sense for what...
