    Monks Underpowered?

    There are people who disagree, but I feel that the raw shows that it does. The monks unarmed strike counts as a natural weapon and a manufactured weapon for different things. I feel that improved natural attack is well within the realm of these things. To me it is very similar to a fighter...

    Monks Underpowered?

    Monks belt + improved natural attack + enlarge person usually help a lot in the damage area ;)

    Questions with Gate

    I've seen this a few times in this thread and it strikes me as odd given the wording of the spell. I dont think that simply 'having a name' is enough to make one unique for this spell. You can pull any named being through, willing or unwilling, 'unless' they are a diety or unique as the next...

    Monks Underpowered?

    psychic warrior does have a lot of personal buffs which can be used to make them a very good unarmed character. Of course they also suffer from medium bab and an 'incredibly' short supply of pp ;)

    Monks Underpowered?

    Personally I have just made it an item that takes up a slot and is bonus squared x 2k just like a normal weapon, but it only works for unarmed strikes. At that, I 'still' think it is overpriced because it takes up a body slot vs a weapon which takes up a 'hand' slot. But at least it is...

    headband of excellence

    minis handbook. And really, given the usefulness I think it is priced very well. For the most part I think ignoring 'slot affinity' leads to sanity while going by its rules leads to insanity ;)

    headband of excellence

    Ahh.. I believe you are working without the benefit of the dmg errata. I am working out of the SRD, so I cant find what you mean. So we have 3 abilities, each at 36k. The first is left alone, the second two are at 1.5x their normal price. A single item tends to be more vulnerable than...

    headband of excellence

    So you are saying that you would charge more for this item than for 3 items, 2 of which are 'slotless'? After all, I could make a +6 wis item for 36k Then make a slotless item for +6 str for 72k Then make a slotless item for +6 dex for 72k I'll wind up useing the same amount of slots (1) and...

    headband of excellence

    If they were considered similar then the cost would be the following: 36k (1st ability boost) 0.75*36k (2nd ability boost) 0.5*36k (3rd ability boost) 0.5*36k (4th ability boost) 0.5*36k (5th ability boost) 0.5*36k (6th ability boost) = 135k gp Or, for just two = 63k which is actually...

    headband of excellence

    I dont know if they would qualify as 'similar'. After all, they are effecting different stats ;) Still though, I think in 3.5 it would go like this: +6 to stat #1 = 36k +6 to stat #2 on same item = 36k*1.5 = 54k total = 90k Or, for 3 stats, 144k. Or, if you go by the example of other items...

    headband of excellence

    That seems rather very expensive for what it does. But then it was useing 3.0 pricing rules. I prefer the belt version from minis handbook. That seems much more reasonable in pricing.

    Is Wall of Thorns as utterly broken as it seems to be?

    Escape artist, DC 120, pass right through! ;)

    So, druids are powerful, eh?

    remember to cast barkskin on the poor guy now and then ;) It sounds like the only way to 'equalize' the two characters at this point would be for you to take your next 10 levels or so as a commoner. I think you are better off helping him out in little ways here and there! Have the wizard put...

    Rogue/Psionicist advice needed

    and with that class I would recommend being human and going for some of the following: Compression (smaller grants larger hide bonuses and to hit, although it does cut into damage, but sneak attack helps make up for that) elfsight (good duration, low light vision, spot secret doors, bonus to...

    So, druids are powerful, eh?

    First of all, he is playing a fighter. Ouch. Second of all, he didnt pick his feats properly (which is par for the course for a new player). Double ouch. I would suggest talking with the dm. See if you can work something out to get psychic reformation or something similar cast/manifested on...

    If you simply ignore a couple of the different view points then you can pretend that there is a concensus, does that help? ;)

    It certainly sounds to me like that ability is the culmulation of the whole class that gives all of the effects of the halfdragon template by useing a slightly different means. Hence talking about the halfdragon template at the end ;) Anyone with the book, do they have any extra wording there?

    But you can assume how it works from what is said. You gain the template, except in the ways that are different. Which to mean would be the things that are mentioned and a few that are not, such as gaining the dragon type. But that would not include gaining the LA because that was already...

    Crystal Shards

    There are arguements for both sides of the debate in this matter. Depending on how you read various parts of the rules it really could go either way. From a balance point of view (from games I have been in) they should not be subject to DR. They already take a good amount of pp to be able to...

    I trust custserv about as far as I can throw them. Which of course means not at all. unless official errata comes out stating that being a halfdragon through the class does not make one gain the dragon type then it does. Basically gaining whatever is left from the template, they have already...
