    Official Books vs Unofficial: Your group's standard is?

    We only use selected WoTC material; except for the core books all classes, feats, optinal rules, etc. are considered on a case by case basis. We have not introduced anything outside WoTC with the exception of the book "A Magical Medieval Society: Western Europe" which was accepted by all (hands...

    I put together an EK last night using ranged abilities...you know (as other sobviously due; I wanted to see for myself) with that BAB combined with specializing in rays, ranged touch attacks and such makes the EK a really bad dude at range; melee wise he is still inferior to his other combatant...

    That was the point of the statement. That was the point of the statement. Then you miss my points. Because it is obvious I have actually never heard anyone make that statement; even a person or two from WoTC (maybe MC? Don’t recall) someplace in cyberspace had stated that – no way an EK...

    You still have to make the COncentration check; and with mage slayer you fail it automatically.

    And of course we are in a room large enough to fit Mr. Hydra and of course he has polymorph memorized and of course he can get two spells off in one round (maybe I am missing something there; could be) and of course... Another "and if..." Well "if": said foighter were in a ten by ten room -...

    Never played one - just goign by what I read and people who say it is great. Used as an example is all. Even with the stuff above I still think that for combat it is better than an EK.

    1) Very true; but then again if one were to (not that I am going to or asking you to at all) if one were to figure out the frequency of your ability to due this vs. the frequency of a critical…I world bet WoTC did. 2) And again – making my point – a huge chunk of this is coming from the Spell...

    Magic domain - in my groupwe have a cleric that has taht domain; it makes for a NASTY cleric indeed! He can cast up to...I think it is 4th elvel arcane spells. MY point is that with all the stuff out there as options for a melee/arcane; EK is inferior to most combinations that could be had...

    50+? I would like to see the math on that for a 10th level PC; higher sure…but at 10th level with the levels you must have with those classes? I am not so sure – leaving room for the fact I may be wrong. If he “can” do that - so can my Fighter with a crit using power attack alone or mixed with...

    The one fighter to rule them all....

    The PHB alcehmists fire, to EL's for tenth level is really not all that damaging. If youc an get/create better ones that would be another story. But to your main point - a fighter has the best BAB in the game be it with a sword in hand or not. Why waste it? why not allow your fighter to toss...

    The one fighter to rule them all....

    If you choose to have a higher dexterity with a fighter; for example (using a 40 point buy and 10th level; which includes the two ability score level increases at 4th & 8th) Str: 18 Dex: 16 Con: 14 Int: 14 Wis: 14 Cha: 10 The dexterity bonus of +3 can allow me to effectively wear breastplate...

    A lot of folks here are getting all technical with the rules and concepts and such. Note my user name - Ok that was just a fluff statement to make myself sound better…did it work? :-) Anyways: Arcane Casting and fighting are diametrically opposed disciplines. They are two sides of a coin and...

    Once more unto the breach...We few, we happy few, we band of brothers!

    There is also that short speech from "Gladiator" made by Russell Crow's character (in the beginning of the movie) right before the Roman calvary started their move...it ended with "fear not for you are in the Ellusion fields..." or something like that.

    Once more unto the breach...We few, we happy few, we band of brothers!

    For some reason this sits in my head and I occasionally recall it; I have no idea where it came from or if I even recall it with 100% accuracy (heck for all I know I thought this up when I was 10 or something...); so for what its worth: "There are times for discretion and diplomacy, there are...

    What game mechanics etc. do you, the DM, forbid?

    On a similar note I think that the concentration check bit for Casters NOT generating an AoO when casting; all they need is a lot of concentration skill points - silly considering that it is suppsoed to take concentration and effort to cast which has nothing to do with protecting oneself whislt...

    The one fighter to rule them all....

    No problem That is actually not a point buy system (at least as defined directly or indirectly by publishers). Point buy involves no dice at all. I am not necessarily critizing your character for the high scores just pointing out he can do far more than most can because of those stats...

    Well Matt you just shut down about a score of En World doomsday posters and half as many current threads talking about the same doom and gloom!! I hope this brings and end to those pessimists! :--) Thanks!

    What game mechanics etc. do you, the DM, forbid?

    Off the top of my head... No psionics. The new races from the various race books not allowed Magic armor shrinks or expand to fit within that size category (medium for medium creatures only, large for large creatures only, etc.). Feats: NO monkeygrip; it seems stupid to me to allow this. NO...
