I'd also consider if they can get their hands on it at all. It's an obscure rulebook. I don't think the publishers are in business anymore. Does that mean it's fair to download? I'm fuzzy about copyrights.

I found the Blade of the Emperor PrC from Path Of The Sword. The Class is made specifically for nobles, the abilities kick ass(Save for Loyalty Beyond Death, which is nowhere as strong as the Knight's) and it doesn't have dead levels, I think he might like it. It doesn't have a code of conduct...

At the very least, we have found a common ground. I also find these welcome only in a certain kind of campaign myself. The 'messing about' category, to be precise. Yes, that can be painful for DMs and new players alike. If I can't deal with something I usually still ask them to knock it off...

They did. This is another one!:D EDIT: Reading the below posts, apparently they didn't. Oh well.

So is everyone else. And that proves exactly nothing at all regarding how wrong the Tier System is. I think both is depending on houserules, but I agree to one thing. The 600d6 is impractical and boring. It would take months to create or would burn trough your higher level spellslots like...

No, this refers to unusual stats for the class, not considering if they were rolled or handpicked. I apologize for the inconvenience. I do believe this is my fault. Note that every other character had the same amount of time and levels, as well as optimized to the point of ridiculousness. The...

I wasn't. Will keep in mind. Thanks. You are completely right. What I don't understand is why are you telling me this when I essentially said the same thing, though I have a guess. What you (apparently) misunderstood is that I'm dubbing unconventional stat arrays stupid because they are bad...

Uniformity? Bleh. I don't feel inclined to follow any of the stereotypes, and anyone who does dug his own grave. Don't blame the system when it gave you a choice and you f?cked it up for yourself. I'll have you know, I always played arcane Casters and never had my Strength below 10 or Charisma...

...Well, not being the most mentally stable person on the planet, I can certainly say I have my share of handicaps, and having the ability to decide what stats my characters get does not feel as limiting. Actually it comes off as quite the opposite. How did you arrive at that conclusion?

Are they now? I've never heard of such abuse. Maybe I'm not thinking of the rituals you're thinking of. Can you share a link?:D I'm eager to learn about any kind of mechanic abuse! For... <.< ... >.> ... reasons!:devil:

The latter would be a good point, but the thread assumes neither. The Wizard's entry presents just a few of the countless examples to beat a dragon. If a Wizard is optimized in a way it cannot solo a dragon of a similar CR, he's doing something horribly wrong from an optimizer standpoint. And on...

I can't concur. Don't misunderstand, I don't care for it because I let my players decide what they do. I don't consider it a must have, is all. The system itself works perfectly and it's definition of Power makes a lot more sense if you scroll down and read the examples in the second post under...

I'm really guessing this is also deliberate, but I can't resist being a smartypants, so... The Tier System is a widely used way to categorize Classes and Characters based on power and versatility. Generally, you shouldn't allow anyone to play a Character more than two Tiers above the weakest...

GAH! You're doing it again! Quite right! Some people don't realize the Tier system assumes the listed classes are optimized to the same degree. That's why Incarnates are usually put in Tier 4 even though they are uncomparably horrible with a careless feat selection. My favourite build was/is a...

A little loose use of terms here. Broken and unbalanced are by no means interchangeable. As you said, if none of the Players want to mess the game up, it won't happen, but giant gaps between their respective powers(that is, the lack of balance) are still annoying or worse, as long as there is...

Have you read what he said? And is there anyone on the planet who still rolls stats? And since we better limit the number of sarcastic one-liner posts to avoid turning the thread into a circlejerk... @Particle_Man , Me and a lot of people will tell you, that any effort to balance 3.x will...

Tricky, but I think we can nail it. What you're looking for is the Big Familiar feat from the Netbook of Feats; you'd need to take it twice for a Large creature(evidently the writers of the Netbook have some experience with us players abusing the system). Now, the problem is that the description...

Don't ignore the 'without qualms' part. Being Evil does not in any way imply routinely inflicting harm, just the willingness to do so at any time and under most circumstances. What it does for everyone else. Love is a beautiful thing, but not a semi-magical unbreakable bond of care and...

I said broken, not unbalanced. Balancing 3.x is fundamentally impossible, and completely unnecessary. Frankly, I couldn't care less that spellcasters are better on the long run than those who dare to try another approach. The purpose of the Tier System is to differentiate between the power of...

I second Emoplato's motion. She most likely stayed Evil. Nothing have motivated her to change her moral outlook or philosophy. At best she's just pissed at the cleric. At worst she'll go and burn everything in sight to blow off some steam, because, well, demon. Though you could argue that the...
