Bariaur from Manual of the Planes/Planar Handbook is pretty good.

Well, there's sleep, circle of death, and blasphemy. You need to know how many Hit Dice you have when you get energy drained, also.

Good lord--they're huge. 4 pages for a character sheet? I type my characters out in Word, and it takes up 1 page. Honestly, I think the problem with virtually all availible character sheets is that they're trying to wear too many hats. Most character sheets are designed to both be...

We've been letting people use specified energy adaption (a psionic power that provides energy resistance as an immediate action) pretty late in the process. In your example, our game would let the player manifest that power after the 14 fire damage is announced. I don't think there is a right...

I think gaining the cold subtype is a disadvantage. Good cold spells are few and far between (the only cold spell I can think of in the PHB is cone of cold, a really sub-par spell) while fire spells are common, and probably the majority of energy damage a character would take. I would gladly...

A Huge greatsword deals 4d6 points of damage, which means that it isn't worth it for a Large character either. You only get +1d6 damage for your -2 to attack rolls. If you're Huge, though, you can go from weilding a 4d6 damage greatsword to weilding a 6d6 damage greatsword, so it may be worth...

+4 bonus.

Well, you lose your racial traits. That can be a serious drawback.

No, you can't do that. Spring Attack allows you to move up to your speed and take an attack action sometime during the move. Dual Strike is a standard action, not an attack action. Hence, Dual Strike and Spring Attack cannot be combined.

I don't know how immortality could ever be "broken". It doesn't have any real game effect. In terms of power, it is slightly more useful than an ability that allows the character to turn bright blue for 1 hour each day as a standard action, and somewhat less useful than a +1 bonus to Decipher...

Well, I was playing psions before the XPH came out, so it must be the flavor that appeals to me rather than the mechanics. (Although I am very fond of the XPH ruleset.)

Answer: 1) We have both two psionic PCs as well as several psionic NPCs. It worked pretty well, other than a misunderstanding regarding temporal accelaration and energy current, which is our fault, and no strike against the rules.

You actually do have a Dexterity of 0 when you are pinned. Check the Table: Armor Class Modifiers, footnote 4.

I think that because harm's damage is expressed as a fixed number, you can't really score a meaningful critical hit with it. Because no damage is rolled with harm, you can't roll the damage twice and total the results, and therefore cannot determine how much damage would be dealt on a critical hit.

I'm destroying the industry by not buying any books for two years or so. The last book I purchased was d20 Modern. Honestly, you don't realize how worthless additional books beyond the core are until you quit buying them.

That's debatable. There are a lot of references in the DMG to magic armor and shields providing an enhancement bonus to AC. For example, rhino hide armor, "in addition to granting a +2 enhancement bonus to AC, it has a -1 armor check penalty and deals an additional 2d6 points of damage on any...

The enhancement bonus isn't a bonus to AC. It is a bonus to another bonus. Because it is not applied to AC at all, it doesn't help with touch AC.

An "enhancement bonus to your natural armor bonus" increases your natural armor bonus. For example, a creature with an amulet of natural armor +2 and natural armor +1 would have a total natural armor bonus of +3. Re: the second question; yes, that is correct.

Well, entropic shield has a duration of 1 min./level, and pass without trace has a duration of 1 hour/level, and there's nothing in the invocation description overriding those durations, so I would say that the entropic shield effect lasts for 1 min./level and the pass without trace effect lasts...
