The bolded part blew me away a fair bit. Between the animal companion, spells, and wild shape, they are definitely powerful and extremely versatile. Duskblade's problem is that damage can only take a class so far, thus they're 3 at best and not very far up in it. Thankfully they do have...

Since you're making Rage one of the central themes, you should probably look at which Rage might fit your wanted theme better. Ferocity is more about being animalistic and predatory than angry and tough like the standard Rage. Whirling Frenzy is pretty much a pure adrenaline rush. Keep in...

Not a feat, just a weapon mod. Elvencraft, page 166 of Races of the Wild.

Here's a rundown of the Truenamer: http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=214115 I hate to say it, but to learn why the Truenamer is mechanically broken you kinda have to be guided through the rules. The first post in that link should give enough of an overview to see how truly bad...

I know you're speaking of Planar Shepard, but there's also Moonspeaker. And yeah, the T1 classes tend to be at that level without much splat support because they're just that powerful and versatile in core or with core and whatever book they originated from.

Manbearcat, I think you hit the nail on the head of why people like (and sometimes dislike) Tome of Battle. It gives good martial options as standard actions, although there is of course variety and maneuvers are everything from immediate to full-round actions.

Hang on a sec. By the reasoning there, it looks like you guys allow any character created to hang out "for the moment" while you chat about how to deal with it. Is this correct? If so, you should probably work on it since allowing a character in the door is only going to cause more problems...

The Book of Exalted Deeds is 3.5. You're probably thinking of its sister splat, the Book of Vile Darkness, which is 3.0. That said, 3.0 stuff can explicitly be grandfathered into 3.5 if it hasn't been updated in 3.5, but it's still up to the DM.

One thing to note about the slew of magical items: The Handy Haversack. Using it is a move action that doesn't provoke AoOs and what you need is always on top. Which leads a bit into another point: Some of the perceived problems are quality of life changes since D&D is primarily a game meant...

Gently let him know that the character he has created violates several rules, and specifically go over the biggest offenders. If you're not familiar with the stuff in BoED it's probably best that you not use or allow most things from the book at all since many things in it require the whole...

If you're dreading rogues that's probably more of an indication of the people you play with, especially if they're stealing stuff and screwing over the party. D&D is still a team effort, and just because someone is a rogue doesn't give them a license to be a douchebag. As far as what's wrong...

Would you like some tips on creating a character that can do that sort of thing well in 3.5?

If success is thought of as mechanical power assuming moderate optimization, then there's already a thread on that. http://www.ruleofcool.com/smf/index.php/topic,640.0.html. It got ported over, so the formatting needs work, but the thought exercise is fairly good in my eyes. Going down the...

The spell on page 102 only lists 2d6 as the damage. That is it. Its damage does not change with the character because nothing is mentioned about it changing with the character. Spiritual Weapon doesn't become bigger or smaller with the caster for example, so why should this one? Oddly...

A: First of all, make sure you understand that half-giant is a race and Complete Psionic added racial levels so they could be played from level 1. As to your question about taking the race for a melee character, keep in mind the Level Adjustment is at the cost of a class level typically...

It's working properly for me now. Thanks!

When I try to log out the site keeps telling me "502 Bad Gateway" and then keeps me logged in. Is there a particular reason this is happening? Is anyone else getting this problem? I know I can clear my cookies or unclick the "stay online" feature or whatever when I log in, but it looks like a...

My thoughts exactly. Nearly ten years old? Holy crap!

Take a look at the Warlock Information Compilation for starters and see what it'll answer for you. There are some items that change/add on to Eldritch Blast, but few that do anything with invocations. The Codex Advocare costs 20k and grants a least invocation, which might give you an idea of...

One of the reasons the Hexblade can actually be decent is through Alter Self/Polymorph since they can give you better natural attacks and such. I'm not familiar with the various forms though, especially for Fey, so someone else will have to help with that. Did you show them the fixes one of...
