"I know Polmor, it's a terrible bad habit I have. But with you unable to supply intelligent conversation I have to seek it out where ever I can find it." Marika turns to Anya. "Well I'm ready to go Anya, shall we?"

The Order of the Stick's abilities are somewhat unpredictable and don't really follow the rules of DnD very closely. For instance Roy's Bag of Tricks has produced both Rats and Rhinos. Rich Burlew has stated that he won't ever give out their exact level or abilities because he wants to be free...

"I suppose that means it falls to me as one of the scouts then." Marika suggests, mopping up gravy with a Trencher. "I've been known to be somewhat quiet now and then."

I have to disagree. Debates on the balance of DnD pale next to the frothing rage over balance you'll usually find in Shadowrun forums, for instance. Many people cite the terrible lack of balance in RIFTS as a reason not to play. Balance is universal to the gamist mindset, to get slightly...

It's pretty much sure to be Mithril Breastplate Barding +whatever you can afford under those circumstances. Which enhancements you pick depends on the mount's abilities and the character's style and such.

Savage Species has no lycathrope templates in it.

Okay, I misunderstood your math. Still you're continuing to just hand the Soulknife free enhancements to his Dex. This, in my mind, is concrete proof that the Soulknife is weaker. What you're missing about the MAD of these other classes is that they get cool class abilities for having those...

At level 17+ the Wizard's supply of level 2 spells is usually not a major limiting factor. And the Warlock has well established that "at will" is not overpowering in and of itself in comparison to magicians with limited spells per day but much vaster versatility. Perhaps if your game routinely...

Rising early as usual, Marika immediately makes a beeline for the bathroom where she examines her back in detail. "No wings yet." she mourns before finishing her morning ablution and dressing again for the day. "Maybe they'll come in tomorrow. Or at a critical moment, like when I fall off a...

Two problems, most players don't have Dragon and very few games allow it. I personally have never been in a game that allows Dragon stuff although my experience is limited. Still it's nice to see something. Second problem: Soulknives are feat-starved compared to most other martial classes. A...

Savage Species has a feat that allows extra item slots, but to get rings you'd need extra arms (and heads for necklaces, or legs for boots).

I don't know, my experience playing one was quite limited but at level 1 a Warlock with summon swarm as his sole incantation is amazingly potent at extremely low levels. An area effect that both damages at a reasonable level and causes nausea/poison/disease, and with it's limited duration it's...

But why are you still comparing Chain Shirt +5 to Full Plate +1? The Fighter wears his Fullplate and has Dex 12. He has an AC of 19 Before Applying Magic. The Soulknife, limited to a chain shirt, has AC 15 unless he's given more Dex for no apparent reason. Let's assume this is around level...

Tauric always adds at least 1 monster HD so it's actually 3 racial hitdice but you're otherwise correct.

Tauric Medium Scorpion with plans to go into Ranger if the character ever makes it to character levels. I gave the character a reach weapon (So it can't have an overwhelming full-attack by hitting the same creature with weapon and claws), a low Con and Str (So it's Bonus wouldn't run it's HP or...

This is somewhat fallacious. First you're comparing +5 armor to +1 armor which is just silly, the Soulknife's "free" weapon is hardly enough savings to pay for that kind of imbalance in enhancement level. Second, it's nearly impossible for most characters to build up their DEX to that level...

I just had a GM apply a +1 more LA to my monstrous creature (the game is ECL 3) because he "knows Savage Species, and all the Broken stuff in it." When I asked him what was broken he statted up an anthropomorphic baleen whale with the feral and mineral warrior templates to show how broken...

So you think a fighter should not take improved critical, (greater) weapon focus, and (greater) weapon specialization? And if he does he's just setting himself up for a fall?

Monkey Grip only gives you one size larger. You can go a level better with Weild Oversized Weapon which has monkey grip as a prereq but that's an epic feat. Remember that Monkey Grip has a -2 penalty. Unless the improved dice on the bigger weapon amount to at least +4 average damage you'd be...

Haven't seen this mentioned so far (Unless I missed it) but I hate the spell because it can ruin a character concept. For instance a while back I built a "Hulking Herder" character, a battlefield-control fighter with a dozen bags of tricks and a few houseruled feats for using them (Like a...
