Was the Extra Favored Enemy feat ever reprinted?

Yes.

I used this on an archer ranger I played from 1 to 15. Where this feat really shines is on the favored enemies that have not bumped. Going from +2 to +5 damage is a significant benefit.

Sacred Healing + Paladin turning Downside is that it is hard to use in combat. Upside if your a chr build paladin you heal lots of damage.

I am just continuing this logic by saying that not having to do it is the best situation. And that the DM should be more willing to apologize for a poorly designed encounter than adjusting it on the fly. This is not to say that the DM should never do it, just that it is the tool in the toolbox...

That would make sense except that Bodak have DR 10/ Cold Iron and resistance 10 to acid and fire.

So your saying that your party was foolish to think the same tricks would work over, and over again. I like the idea of playing the various races that have LA, but always end up looking at the resulting HP and scraping the idea. Being able to buy off LA helps, but the early levels are still scary.

I think Nifft is approaching this from the correct perspective, but I think the price is too high. Given that a +4 cloak of charisma is 16k, I would think that the item should be at most that amount as well.

That is devious....

The only item I can think of that gives a bonus to leadership would be a cloak of charisma. Just as a note, this would be an extraordinarily difficult item to price, since while it is highly specialized it has a huge impact when it is useful.

This is an apt analogy, since just as when an umpire makes a call, the umpire has not cheated, but the players sure can feel cheated.

My reasoning steams from Artoomis' second point. Further, there is a point in your statement that I have an issue with. Your statement implies one of two situations: the dm is familar enough and fast enough with the rules that the players do not notice, or the players are so unobservant as to...

The DM is not forbidden from any of these, but the DM should also keep in mind changes these values changes the CR of the creature. This can be in either way. Personally I do not believe a DM should EVER do this on the fly. It either cheapens the experience because the players feel like the DM...

Being friendly does not prohibit the person from attacking the party, it makes it much less likely. There are situations in which a person would attack their friends.

Prone =/= Immobile

Ah, the joys of level adjusted races, and full progression spell casting bad guys.

I could see doing a single level of Warblade + Wizard. With a single level of warblade, you get to add your int to reflex saves, and can pick up concentration check in place of a will save counter. (sorry my memory for names today is terrible) On top of those the stances available can be...

I believe there is a feat from the complete arcane that lets you cast a buff spell as part of casting a summoning spell. The buff spell can only affect the summons and I think has to be prepared as such (so if you prep'd a haste for your summons, you could only use it for the summons). It might...

Forgot about the built in enhancement bonus.

That is kinda iffy Nifft, but if all else fails you can always uses the "all natural attack" option. It only gives you a +1 but thats enough to deal with magic dr.
