The NPC's is Eberron definitely seem to be a lot less powerful in character levels also. -Psiblade

Our campaigns have used psionics treated the same as magic. This makes integrating psionics into an existing campaign very easy. -Psiblade

Hello Stevelabny, The groups I know are going by the RPGA ruling for Living Greyhawk in regards to this feat. 1.) You do not have to mem the spell in advance. 2.) You must have the original metamagic feat (silent spell) in order to take divine metamagic (silent spell). 3.) Yes, you can...

I should have stated that if the party has a lot of non-melee damage dealers then a paladin is the best tank for the group. ;) If you have a high damage archers or casters, then a paladin makes the best tank IMHO. Paladins only have 6 feats at level 15. Most paladins I have met have...

The main problem for archers is DR. A melee person can power attack and overcome DR. An archer against an 10/- or 15/- is in a world of hurt. Improved rapid shot does nothing to lessen this problem. Archers also have problems lining up their shots in combat and may have to move to do so...

Hello Daniel, I will agree that paladins are the best melee class at avoiding damage especially with sword & shield style. Charisma based Paladins with their high saves are also much more likely to succeed on saving throws. Paladins will have to gain access to vests of resistance rather...

I have seen a large number of 28 point fighters, barbarians, and paladins. That is not a well built 28 point fighter. The paladin is more normal. 28 point fighter S: 16 (10) D:12 (4) C:16 (10) I:8 (0) W:12 (4) C:8 (0) 28 point paladin S: 14 (6) D: 10 (2) C 14 (6) I 10 (2) W 12 (4) Ch 15 (8) The...

Archers can also crank out a lot more damage per round by 15th. A 15th level archer will have rapid shot, improved rapid shot, specialization, double specialization, strength bow, multiple enchantment bow (flame, frost, etc.), bracers of archery. Each shot will average around 19 points of...

On topic, The 10d6 from a bolt of fire is not achievable until 15th level. The action to use bolt of fire is a standard action. A Wizard / Wilder will crank out a lot more damage per round. Especially when you add in quicken actions. Heat Death is a fort save or die ability. Fort saves tend to...

We use 32 points in a high powered game. Our characters in that game are heroes. There is a difinitely a difference from 28 point games. In general for a 32 point game characters are not general going to be below average in anything. An additional +1 ECL is definitely needed for a challenge to...

I have really enjoyed the Complete Warrior and the various Scarred Lands Players Guidebooks. The Complete Divine looks interesting, but not much play testing yet. I also like additional books because options are always nice. -Psiblade

I can offer suggestions. I play a MT in a relatively high level campaign. The main problems are low AC and hit points. Combats tend not to last long enough to bring a lot os spells to bear. Solutions are quicken spell to expedite the number spells used in a day and Improved toughness (CW) will...

Paladins tend not to be as good in dealing damage as barbarians and fighters. More diverse stats(less strength) and fewer feats will equal less damage output. Divine might is nice help for damage, but power attack is much better. Fighters and Barbarians will hit more with power attack because of...

I am definitely also a big fan of 3.5. Pro's Fighters are no longer below par. You really did not need a fighter type in 3.0. Rangers, Bards, and Monks play a lot better both in power and style. Bards in particular were nearly worthless in 3.0. The 3.0 haste, harm, and heal had to be fixed. I...

There is a major problem with the MT as an invisible healer. If the spell is brought down or they can detect invisible for any reason, enemy fighters five foot step and splatter you all over the walls. The low ac and low hit points are deadly on the front lines. Clerics/Healers with...

Having played a MT, I can definitely tell you some of the weakness in 28 point 3.5 game at medium to high level with both a cleric and a wizard also in the party (currently 15th). 1st DCs for MT are going to be low. Creation points are split between Int, Wis, Dex, and Con. A pair of 16's cost...

Your gear does not change size when polymorphed. ;) This is a inherited limitation from Alter self (first line of poly). A stone giant would be using mis sized weapons (-2 to hit). Also, I think that a stone giant would not fit into a belt made for med/small characters(-6 str.). :) Other than...

My psywar is also the primary tank. My build is more defensive. I like high AC and high hit points. The Psionic body and Improved toughness feats when combined will grant alot of hit points. Close-quarters fighting feat is also important in resisting grapples from big mobs. Vigor is the power...

I picked up the Expanded Psionics handbook and Complete Divine. I am happy with both of them. :) -Psiblade

I also divide the world into psionic and magic dominant areas. The Druid / Celt style area is magic dominant, while the Indian style area is psionic dominant. -Psiblade
