So do PCs actually choose things like this or is this just an exercise in what can be done? In my current group I am the only person that would play a healer at all, and I am generally DMing. Guess it'd work for cohorts. :D

Eh, there were links posted. Medium armor, also because he has 16 dex. But really, building a barbarian in heavy armor is kind of pointless. Fast Movement is pretty damn good. It ensures that you can adequately chase down your targets. Some people will give 18 str since it is within the rules...

"Tordek, I didn't know you could cast Create Water!" *zip* "Yeah, I picked up a level of cleric last time. Here ya go." "Thanks!" *chuff* "Hmm, this tastes kind of funny. Kind of like ale." "All dwarven gods have ale-tasting water. Trust me."

What are your feats?

Powergaming? Yeah, that's accurate. I powergame the hell out of my bad guys, but I try not to deliberately do things to screw the party individually...if I have a plan like "the dragon is going to hide in the ceiling then snatch the last party member" and that guy happens to be a small caster...

Scrolls of this spell cost 700 gp. It doesn't matter if 50 charges is "too many". That's how many you get for 20k. Is once a day really plenty? Your players always know when they're going to have an encounter, and it's always within 7 hours of casting that spell? Interesting. I, however, would...

On further thought, I think the +2 ECL would be valid for the number of additional encounters a party with at least 2 casters could handle in a given day, but not the actual encounter levels. IE a 3rd-level party still has basically no chance against an EL 9 (where 3 of your players died), but...

The set of clothing you wear has no weight. -4 lbs Just use one and have the cleric create water in it each morning. -1 lb Nobody said the adventuring life had to be comfortable. -1 1/4 lbs Eat the barbarian's food. -1/4 lbs Priceless. Even if you like to play Equipments & Accountants...

Also the frenzy attacks are at +4/+4 because you get another -2 for frenzying on top the tower shield penalty...it's really not that great if you asked me. 2 BAB + 3 STR + 1 WF + 2 str bonus - 2 frenzy - 2 tower shield A fighter can grab full plate, heavy shield, and masterwork weapon and do...

I actually use the recharge magic variant, and it in NO WAY makes characters +2 ECL higher. If anything it makes your ECL lower because you can't cast your highest level spells back to back. A regular 6th level sorcerer can cast fireball four times in a row, dealing significant damage. A...

Nevermind that last bit, I see what you mean. You can't actually end the grapple until you have multiple attacks. But you can't ever go from "pinned" to "free" using Escape Artist. But being pinned as a caster is brutal; being grappled isn't that big of a deal.

Such as that poll thread you made where it's like a 90% landslide that small casters have a net advantage? :D First off, I'm generally the GM, and I challenge my players just fine without having to resort to singling out their specific weaknesses (see second off). Second off, designing...

Pro Evil much? That's probably the best 1st-level spell in the game besides Magic Missile... Also, carrying capacity doesn't mean squat. All your gear weighs half as much! That's actually a net advantage unless you're talking about hauling treasure or something in which case get a haversack...

'Otherwise identical' means aside from the replaced bonuses just mentioned, it lasts Con mod rounds and you get the same number per day as a regular barbarian, can't use spells, Combat Expertise, while it's going on, etc. Basically to reinforce that it carries all the other restrictions and...

Seriously? I can do the effect for 700 but 10k is pretty cheap? :) And to the infinite charges, yes. And the wand is 20k...and to tell you the truth I've never seen someone go through an entire wand because they're always concerned about "saving the charges". I think 10k for the item is...

Also that iterative attacks suck. If D&D was balanced around single attack rolls each round you wouldn't see this kind of stuff happen much.

If you're not Leap Attacking you're not dealing damage.

Yeah, that looks better. Math for the win!

Yeah. If a scroll with the same spell on it costs 700 gp and a wand of it costs 21k gp, then the item he wants is probably somewhere closer to 10k, not 1k.

lol @ highly unfair. Anyone who's actually played a barbarian knows that Con boost is totally vital for both rage length and staying on your feet. And you lose the normal rage bonuses, not the penalties. You still get -2 AC during a whirling frenzy, you just gain +2 AC to cover it up. +4 str...
