If the entire party plays through 20, then sure, the character will eventually start leveling again. It's just that the odds are markedly in favor of the player becoming bored, the character dying, or the campaign ending first. All in all, it's not generally recommended that you allow one...

Do they all have the text Soulkinfe has? It's not focus or the actual need for PPs, it's a throwaway line in Soulknife that the issue hinges on. Obviously the derivative class that advances Soulknife manifesting as a ranged weapon will be affected, but I can't think of any others that are...

Battle Sorc is indeed the way to go if you want to take any appreciable number of levels. Otherwise just take your level or two of regular sorc and get the heck into PrCs ASAP. It depends on how much you emphasize casting and how much you emphasize fighting. A regular Sorc 2/Pal 4 can go into...

Thanks! Getting back to the main thrust of this - is denying psionic focus to monsters without real pp (and possibly messing with NPC soulknives) the main use of this for PC mages? Can anyone think of any other use?

If there's one thing the epic level handbook had to say, it's that price limitations are always a factor. How about making your own demiplane and situating your fortress there? You can populate it with races you yourself create (via the creation seed.) Adamantine is the strongest material in...

It's gotta be a toss-up between the two arms of the CoDzilla.

Well, here's Touch of Adamantine, which says, in part: It's available to sorcs and wizards.

Well, it's a bad idea to allow a blastificer in general unless you account for it by throwing more bodies into the mix and making the ultimate goals not combat-oriented. Right?

I played an epic-level game where the party barbarian had less than 5 hit dice. He relied on all kinds of custom items for health, AC, and immunity to magic (death ward, mind blank, etc.) and the elements. I can't remember all the templates he mashed together, but his LA was something like...

Yes, unless it says otherwise. Deep Impact + something that denies dex is very powerful because it allows you to full power attack all the time, but most caster/fighter types have similar tricks. Mage/fighters have wraithstrike, and Wiz/Warblades can do the same thing; you really are just...

Welcome to the boards! I'm not really sure what "pretty powerful" is supposed to be relative to. Better than regular trip? Certainly. More powerful than, say, the Sudden Maximize feat? Probably not. What are you asking about Prone Attack? You think it should be two feats?

Which should, rightly, be vetted and vetoed at creation. Though the OP's note that this is a ten-year-old player with dreams of Conan-style machismo explains much. aboyd - It's a bind, actually: you want to teach the kid that people who are powerful cannot walk around expecting subservience...

Welcome back!

Nice catch! He can't do anything that requires focus, but mindblade manifestation is not one of those things. He'd lose benefits from Speed of Thought, etc. EDIT: Oh, I see it now. I would say that's just the fluff, as there is no mechanical need for focus or 1 PP for the mind blade. I...

You don't. The character becomes a controlled undead subservient to his dark master. The player gets to make a new character. . . . at least, that's how it usually gets handled. With the Libris Mortis vampire class, you can make a gradual transformation level-by-level.

Given the context, I don't agree with this in the least. Many tribal, barbaric societies might well demand that honor be immediately defended. As late as the 1800s in the USA, we had gentlemen dueling each other over affronts to their honor - even trivial things like refusing to give someone...

I don't think there is one. However, if you have feats to spare, how about taking Martial Study from Bo9S?

Okay, I'm not saying you're not right, just that I'm automatically skeptical because few things are more versatile than full cleric spellcasting. So let's look at the details: I get it, but her actual turning level is low, because she's not really a full cleric (or a Cleric/PrC that advances...

I'm having a problem with a spell that I like, flavor-wise, but which is incredibly weak and just not worth casting in combat. I suppose that if you had a prisoner you could cast it on him repeatedly to keep him from using his powers, but I can't think of a valid in-combat use. From the WOTC...

Complete Divine. Glad you like it. You need all the help you can get to stay alive. Well, I suppose it's not 100% essential, just helpful. You can invest money and cast long-lasting protective spells to boost your saves instead.
