All good points. Obviously, I was just putting pen to paper without fully thinking through the details. I am ok with the wands, etc. "Spells known" is limited, so the varety of crafting available will also be limited - and of course any character with UMD can buy stuff. I imagined that you...

OK, here's a thought. Feel free to shoot it down in a post or two. Full casters get: - spells known (i.e. in spellbook or "prayer book" et al) = swordsage's maneuvers known - spells prepared (memorized, prayed for, etc.) = swordsage's {maneuvers readied + stances known} --> or 18 spells at...

I think most people suggested arms.

Starting gold is silly, but WBL is not a rule it is a guideline. In theory, yes, their gold increases that much. Monks need all the help they can get - give them double WBL!

Never mind. I want to fight about something other than this. But, for the record, I agree with Dandu... and Jackinthegreen... and the rules.

That is pretty good. I would make hard and heroic nonlinear after level 10 tho.

In case you didn't notice, that's +49 without racial. Do you really think DC 36 is "hard" at level 20? Any skill that you have maxed and that uses your main attribute will succeed a DC 36 automatically (even on a 1) without magic or racial modifiers. Anything you care about, you will have...

My thri keen has a +79 jump check at ECL 14 with no magical boosts. While I like the idea of this thread, I am not sure how well it would work in practice at levels above 10 or 12.

Take a look at the D20 Modern book entitled "Apocalypse"

Are you a caster living in a world of sneaky monks who want to kill you in your sleep to move up a tier?

I guess your parties play wizards lacking a certain something, a la the Scarecrow. Kind of a Wilfred Fizzlebang kinda thing. Ah well, whatever floats your boat. Most 30+ Int characters in campaigns I have been a part of have been pretty well prepared - even for intra-party treason.

Only if he's nice.

High level wizard: Int 30++ High level monk: Str/Con/Dex/Wis MAD --> Int & Cha = dump stats Something tells me the wizard will be ready for a (poorly executed) melee "sneak" attack.

If you say so.

Although out of print, the Mage Knight sets: - Dungeon Artifacts Set 1 - Dungeon Artifacts Set 2 - Trap Pack are pretty good for miscellaneous stuff. You can usually find them on ebay for a reasonable price. I use them all the time. One thing that I have been looking into, but have not...

As I said, I am not advocating either side. Just from an anecdotal standpoint, both things happened in my current campaign. In a key fight, the archer was strength-damaged and didn't have another bow so was "turned off" for the entire battle. OK, his bad prep, but still it was annoying. In...

I am not advocating one way or the other - I am not saying these are good reasons or bad reasons - but here are some reasons that I have seen in actual gameplay: 1) If you get strength drained and can no longer wield your composite longbow which is made for, say, +3 Str, either you have a bag...

Deepspawn feat. Pick pockets with your tentacles, then if you are detected, just pull your handless arms out of your pockets and shrug with innocence.

I think you have to ask yourself that question. {sorry, couldn't resist} Seriously, Wiki has a description that is not that far removed.

EDIT: never mind
