Yeah, you really need practiced spellcaster for both classes. Practiced spellcaster (wizard) is more important, but Practiced spellcaster (cleric) comes in handy an awful lot too. In my experience with cleric / wizard / MT, I have not been impressed even at higher levels (Non-epic because we...

Standard action does not stack with haste. Most parties will have haste up on round 1.

Everybody has their opinion. I happen to think martial art monks have no place in European centric adventures. I also find the trappings of feudalism extremely boring at times. I have also saved way too many damsels in distress in my early playing days. On the other hand, I have enjoyed many...

I tend to se the warblade as the front line showman style of fighter. A warblade is self promoting and flashy (maneuvers) versus a fighter who excels at the basic mechanics (feats). The problem is without a hard core limiting factor on maneuvers in a fight, the warblade is mechanically better...

Yeah, this is what my thinking was going towards. A warblade can be a very effective in combat without maneuvers using power attack and other standard fighter geats. The swordsage really needs maneuvers to be effective. Why is the warblade's recovery better again? This is the real problem area...

The warblade's recovery method really is problematic imo. A swift action followed by a standard attack is pretty common occurance. So anytime a warblade requires a move to another opponet, they can easily reload their full arsenal. The recovery method should be at least a move action, but can...

Make no doubt that I am not a fan of the warblade, but the wording is pretty clear on maneuver recovery. The recovery must be followed by an attack (ie standard), not a full attack. There is a huge difference there. To be honest, warblades should have the same recovery method as a swordsage (ie...

The main issue with most third party books is just lack of knowledge about them. In some ways alot of people are scared of them. In the beginning of 3.0 there were alot of books that had issues. This is simply not the case anymore, but getting people to change their opinion is very difficult.

Yeah, I am of the opinion that the warblade is much more powerful than the other classes in the same book. His recovery method is way too fast. The warblade also has no need of a d12 for hit points.

The book has worked out for us pretty well so far. Of course, I think most of us are fans of Asian martial arts movies too. Not to mention, having run European centric campaigns since the dawn of time. Having seen a crusader in play now for a few times, they are definitely not more powerful...

Yeah, I would have like a lot more on Dragon magic. I am still undecided on that one. I did like the faiths of Eberron preview even thou it was short. I agree the Vol cultist was an awesome small mini.

Humm, how do you like CC3 so far? I was thinking about buying it. Btw, I am impressed with the depth of your work on your campaign so far.

Since we split the DMing load, we discuss propsed classes quite a bit. If someone has their heart set on something, we will normally give it a spin thou.

Humm, I would simply reduce the die type to a d8 and give them the same maneuver recovery as the swordsage (ie a full round action) while retaining a full BAB. This nerf makes the warblade perfectly fine imho. I still can not understand how they thought a intelligence based fighter needed a d12...

You will find a large amount of disagreement on multiclassing the core classes being overpowered. The MAD issues are extremely large and helps to balance out the benifits gained. IE the 4th level fighter (painbringer) Str 23 (+2 gaunt), Dex 10, Con 14, Int 6, Wis 10, Chr 6 with a +1 greatsword...

Multiclassing seems to only become an issue when multiple PrC come into play. The core classes seem to loose alot by multicalassing excessively. Any more than two PrCs usually means the player has done some serious cherry picking. A hard limit on PrC to two per character would tone down this...

Humm, my favorite settings are: 1) Ravenloft 2) Eberron 3) Dark sun So naturally, I voted for the only one that was listed (Eberron).

After looking through a copy, I will not be buying the MM IV. The pregenerated gnolls/drow etc simply do not interest me. If I want drow/gnoll in my campaign I would prefer to design them myself using heroforge. Also, the huge volume of pages devoted to dragonspawn is simply way too much. Less...

My only exp with characters from the book is with a crusader in my Saturday game. The other fighter type in the party is a paladin. Both are 12th level (the crusader being a replacement). So far, the crusader seems to be more about helping fellow party members setup attacks/defend with the...
