Title says it all. Basicly want to know if there is anything past Greater Two Weapon Fighting, for people with 16+ BAB (4 main hand attacks) to get that 4th attack with the offhand. Anyone?

Edit: Removed inappropriate quote. Sorry bout that. It's nearly impossible to balance many monster PCs throughout their entire progression as a character. It is a case of 'rate of growth.' ECL characters usually start weaker, but have a "faster" rate of growth due to often powerful racial...

My Dwarven Barbarian is all about axe-wielding :D A small excerpt from my character description: :)

A ranger offers Favored Enemy, Tracking, wild empathy, reflex saves, great skill points and very useful class skills, (and thats only through a couple of levels)... If you plan to go the 2-handed melee route and wouldn't use 2-weapon fighting feats, using the Combat Style feats for ranged...

What do you guys think of Starmantle from Book of Exalted Deeds? I just found it and added it to my level 15 sorcerer's spell list recently (couple weeks ago), and it seems awesome. I don't have the official spell description, as my DM owns the BoED, but here's a copy and paste (slightly...

You're right, I missed that the first time I guess. :o

FYI, The Quicken Spell feat is utterly useless to Sorcerers unless you decide to house rule it. I would switch this out for Heighten spell, which is one of the best feats a Sorcerer can take. Question: Are you looking to make this sorcerer as challenging as you can for your PCs, or are you...

Thanks Ruleslawyer. A 17th level wizard is capable of casting any spell in the PHB (that his DM has let him have access to), which leaves a myriad of options. Ruleslawyer listed a few of them, and as he noted there are many more. I also agree that slow would be a great replacement, or 3.5...

You fail to mention that the Wizard's 150 damage (from those 3 spells pulled off in one round of 3.0) affects a TWENTY FOOT RADIUS and therefore is MULTIPLIED by however many targets are within that radius. It is not uncommon to catch five or more enemies in a fireball. Using your own...

You sure about that? Does it say that somewhere? Evil is not in the spell descriptor. I can easily imagine chaotic good characters using enervation to achieve good purposes and goals. However, if it specifically says somewhere in a core book that negative energy is inherently evil, I will...

Sweet! Thanks for the reply. I already loved Heighten spell as a Sorcerer, but being aware of little things like this make it obvious to me that no higher level sorcerer should ever be without it.

One thing that hasn't been mentioned is that if a you have Spell Turning up and "you are targeted by a spell of higher level than the amount of spell turning available, that spell is partially turned." Partial turning is very useful, as that first spell that targets you (subject to Spell...

Good to know :) Now, what about Spell Immunity? I went ahead and bolded the key sentence in the above description. So my new question is: do level 1-4 spells heightened to spell level 5+ get by spell immunity? (much in the same way that they bypass Globe of Invulnerability)... (and...

I must highly recommend the Heighten spell feat. I've played a sorceror from level 1 to level 15 in the time since 3.5 came out, and it has proved to be my most valuable feat by far. Certain spell level spell-per-day slots often go little used at certain class levels, and while you can use...

The above 2 quotes have inspired me to wonder if Heighten spell could be used to bypass a Globe of Invulnerability. Based on the quotes, I would assume a Globe of Invulnerability would FAIL TO STOP level 1-4 spells that have been HEIGHTENED to level 5+. Is this a correct assumption? That...

Thanks for all the input, everyone :D I personally think making the LA +2, OR adding 2 racial hitdice would both be effective ways to balance it. Unfortunately, I am not the DM of the campaign where it is a concern. Here's the story: My D&D group is preparing to start a new campaign. One...

Looking for thoughts and opinions on the balance of the Half-Ogre race presented in the Savage Species book (which came out before 3.5), in a 3.5 campaign. I saw a 3.5 Half-ogre *template* over at Crystal Keep, but havn't seen a Half-ogre *race* anywhere else. From Savage Species: Also of...

Much as Korak said, the 5' step is balanced and reasonable as it stands. A low level character can use it to move and make a full round attack at close range against a high level character, sure, but that high level character is just going to 5' step back in range at the next opportunity and...

Going back to Heighten Spell, I have to say it totally rocks for a sorcerer (having played from level 1 to 14 as one). This becomes especially true the more the sorcerer advances in levels. A heightened Slow spell can devastate a group of enemies, especially lumbering fighter-types which often...

Thanks for all the insight Darklone. Its *very* cool to see published people traversing these boards. :D
