The problem I am finding with the smart/agile fighter builds are three fold: 1) MAD - a typical PA/str fighter really only needs strength and con. A smart/agile fighter needs dex/int/str/con in that order. And if you think you can get away with low str see below. 2) HUGE and larger creatures...

A number of other specialties have hyper specialized Sorceror type builds: Beguiler, Dread Necromancer, and War Mage for examples. I don't see any reason a conjurer/summoner based class couldn't be made. In the above classes, its full access to one school (such as War mages and evocations)...

Is it a forum faux pas to bump my own post to get more people to participate in my poll?

Yes, but you, me, and kreynolds seem to be the minority in the above poll, suggesting resistance to the "idea" of +XX gp enhancements.... or at least with regard to prismatic burst. To be fair too, I also know exactly where I'm heading with the weapon and fully plan on taking advantage of the...

I completely agree that the effects with a save DC should generally have fixed cost, or if they don't then the DC should probably scale with the weilder's hd. As far as I can tell, this ability could easily be a +3 equivalent, but with the DC set at 12+1/2 wielders hd or BAB or something allong...

Fair enough, so what should the price be? You voted that it should be slightly higher, what value would be appropriate?

After looking at the SRD, I'm concluding that two effects from prismatic spray might not be incorporated into the above cost: 1) Auto-blindness for creatures with fewer than 9hd, no save. I'm guessing this is omitted from this ability otherwise it'd be too strong at middle levels. 2) Multiple...

probably I think so, but only on the target hits (so more like prismatic ray) and only on a successful critical hit...

The MIC compendium has a new weapon enhancement: Prismatic Burst. This provides a DC 20 prismatic spray-like affect when you crit a creature. Its +30,000 gp. Does this seem too good for only 30k? My GM is riding the fence on this one, my artificer says "no," other players are saying "yes." but...

reroll with action points We use action points in our campaign (its Eberron afterall)... Typically its roll the die, that is what you get for hp except for NPCs who are the average rounded down. If someone chooses, when they level up, they can reroll the hp once, but they loose half of their...

I have noticed, that the Dragon shaman's breath weapon seems a little weak relative to most everything else at the correspoding level. Is there a way to boost this with feats? I am told that there is a feat that can allow them to use it every round rather than 1d4, but I was hoping for a feat...

I too remember dancing to be absolutely fantastic back in 1e/2e. Back then the it was such a big deal because some of the better weapons did MORE damage against larger opponents. Also, I don't even remember if str to damage applied with dancing then either, but I do remember that as a rule str...

One other thing, without Str or Dex or Int added to the attack roll, only the first hit is likely to ever hit in a balanced encounter. Thus, for your +4 you really only ever get an additional 8 to 12 (for +9 equivelent weapon) extra damage. Perhaps twice that if your second attack hits. Good...

nifty, but worth +4? OK, I'll grant you its nifty. But I don't understand why it is worthit if NO conditional modifiers to damage can apply. but first some comments. It does not help the weilder flank. It can't leave the weilder's square, so it is absolutely unable to move around and provide...

Wow so the no modifiers, str or dex if finesse, really limits the utility of this ability. Particularly since the lack of power attack, str or sneak to damage means that this ability is absolutely worthless against damage reduction. On the flipside, it seems like penalties don't apply either...

how exactly does the dancing weapon property work: (my guesses follow each question). 1) Does the loosed Weapon get iterative attacks or Full attack actions? Yes, if the weilder's BAB permits extra attack then it does because it uses the wielder's BAB. 2) Does the weapon benifit from the...

My Gm complains that the Bo9s multiclassing rules are too strong, since they allow a PC to obtain a high level maneuver at first level. For example, a Fighter 8/Swordsage 1 could start with the equivilent of 3rd level spells. His argument is that a F8/ sorceror 1 would only have 1st level...

Bts, What did you give up for evasion?? Thats a pretty big ability IMO, so it'd have to be a pretty big one in my opinion.

Wow that crystalkeep page is sweeeeet. Although it was last updated back in February, so the "0.5xsneak-attack-to-constructs-and-undead-while-flanking-instead-of-trap-sense" variant, a more recent variant I suppose, is ommitted. I wonder if this variant is a hoax... no one has acknowledged it...

I've found the possibility of the variant class ability for the rogue from the PHBII rather interesing. Also the swashbuckler... I've noticed several people mention other variant rogue abilities on these boards. Is there a list broken down by class summarizing all of these variant abilities...
