By RAW, no. They'll stack. But bear in mind when Complete Warrior and Complete Divine was being written, there wasn't swift actions yet. (Hence the Divine feats in Complete Warrior was a free action to activate instead of the subsequent swift actions to activate it.) Both are untyped bonuses so...

The explanation is that the Thistledown modification applies to the undergarment of the armor (since you usually wear padding beneath the armor). The padding is more maneuverable for somatic gestures but it has added weight. (Think of it has wearing multiple layers of t-shirts... it's...

Thistledown (armor modification) from Races of the Wild also reduces ASF by 5% although it increases ACP by 1.

It's also present in the Book of Exalted Deed where it first appeared.

WotC needs uses for the d12 aside from rolling up Barbarian hp. And Warblade hp. =)

On the WotC boards there was a way, after lots of enhancements and miscellaneous additions (there's the material in Races of the Wild too that reduces ASF by 5% and it's an add-on), to give a Wizard a breastplate. The armor check penalty was reduced to 0 so he didn't need proficiency (FYI you...

Two words: Iron Heroes.

You could always simply increase their size and they'd all get converted to 3d6 either way. :)

It's a Jedi mind trick! The psions will rule us all!

Except with the right Domains a Cleric has access to Time Stop too... oh and has access to nearly any spell the Wizard has up to 5th-level (Greater Any Spell). Again, it's a counter-preparation war. And one of initiative. P.S. Mind you, I'm not saying the Cleric will trump the Wizard. It could...

We don't have arena fights. The exact conditions of the battle wasn't specified in the topic. But at the end of the day, the Cleric can pick up the Suffering Domain and have access to Enervation as a Domain spell and perform the same combo.

I'd go for Disjunction not because it'll rupture his gear but because it's an automatic dispel magic on his buffs. A Cleric doesn't need to kill a spellcaster with his gear -- his spells are sufficient. The problem too is that the spellcasters will enter the fight with buffs on. The winner...

Again, for me, it comes down to initiative: I have 1st-round killing combos for each: Wizard: A Quickened, Split Ray, Maximixed (via Greater Rod of Maximization) Enervation (8 negative levels) followed by a Split Ray, Twin Spell, Maximized (Rod) of Enervation (16 negative levels). Of course it...

The much-maligned d12...

At the end of the day, the problem isn't a battle of spells: it's the cherry on top that hurts. For example, the Druid essentially has Polymorph that lasts 1 hour/level so he can cast spells and be in animal/elemental form while he's at it, providing him with good physical offense and defense...

(newborns to age 11): –3 Str, –1 Dex, –3 Con, –1 Int, –1 Wis, –1 Cha.

2d6 averages 7, 1d12 averages as 6.5 -- overall an almost negligible difference. The Greatsword has a 19-20/x2 threat range while the Greataxe has x3 -- a fair trade as far as I'm concerned.

I was playing a Cleric at the time and the party Rogue found a trap. He was hesistant to spring it though (high DC? low ranks in the skill?) and so I got into a discussion with another player (I forgot what he was playing, I think it was a Barbarian) on who should "tank" it and spring the trap...

My take on the Dragon Disciple is that it's more of a warrior class than dabbled in magic or a magic class that dabbles in fighting (at least at epic levels). I mean at epic levels, I could be Sorcerer 20/Dragon Disciple 10 and still have access to the same level of spells albeit a bit tougher...

I agree that our discussion has slightly gone beyond the topic. I just have 3 points however: 1) Dracomeander said it best: "It is not the classes as presented that are broken. It is the intentions of the players that break the classes." 2) The classes are meant to operate as a group and not...
