Because that would mean the player was cheating and should be dealt with in whatever manner the group reserves for players who cheat. Getting a bonus epic feat every other level is the sweet reward for slogging through 20 levels of Fighter. It shouldn't go to no Paladin 10/Knight 10.

Does a cleric have to be a member of the church to get his powers? Or is it sufficient that they have faith in the deity? I would suggest the latter. If an organized monotheistic church has a monopoly on divine magic, that would make it incredibly powerful. If an organized monotheistic...

I agree, that thing rocks.

So then what happens if somebody without the feats tries to pay people to do something? Is their money no good? One of the things I hope they get away from with 4E is the "fix it with a feat" philosophy where PCs have to pay a feat to do anything that the core rulebook doesn't explicitly...

5 + 1/2 your level (round down) Each new level you lose any you haven't used from the previous level and get a new total as calculated above. In play, I've never managed to use all my points before leveling. When using, roll 1d6 and add the result to any d20 roll. You must do this before the...

Okay, if you're looking for serious comments. +10 to strength and +5 Con is severely underwhelming. Kryptonians in a yellow sun environment have usually been portrayed as virtual demi-gods, shaking the earth they trod upon with their power. I'd break it up into Kryptonians in their native...

While all things are possible in theory, the current answer is no. With each day that passes, that "no" only grows firmer. Maybe in 15 years as a nostalgia thing. The first Pathfinder adventure, "Rise of the Runelords", only goes through 15th level.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. XP is metagame for advancement of player characters. I thought we were discussing realism issues of why elves don't become uber-skilled over their long lives. A prodigy might pick up character levels from only intense training, and someone without the spark...

I think I disagree with a basic premise that most folks on this thread seem to accept without question. I don't believe that someone who has been practicing his craft for 200 years is going to be all that much better than someone who has been practicing his craft for 15 years. The vast...

Mindflayer's Mind Blast. There's no way to remove the Stunned condition, so if you fail that save your PC is out of the rest of the combat. Might as well make a quick trip down to the store. Loss of in-game stuff, whatever. Loss of play time is a big deal.

I didn't ask for it. I didn't. When the DM came to me and said, "I want to add some supplemental spells to the Beguiler spell list from Spell Compendium," I told him, "Okay, but you want to be careful with that." When I saw the spell list, I warned him specifically. I told him, "Hey, you...

I like Elemental Monoliths (from Complete Arcane). They don't have a lot of spell-like abilities and fancy tricks, but for sheer raw hitting power they can wrestle a dragon down and beat it to death with its own tail.

I tend to assume that the cost doesn't lie in the metal at all, but in the skill and effort needed to work it. Consider that going by the Craft guidelines, it can take take over a year for a skilled craftsman to create a single adamantine weapon from raw materials.

Seems to me that you and your players are both arguing against yourselves. If such creatures are common, then folks are going to know that the majority of them are evil and treat them as such. None of this "can be good" nonsense. So can an orc, but that doesn't mean folks will want an orc...

A special exception is made for Mind Flayers, that being my immediate concern. They can face suck any Small, Medium, or Large creature :D However, I'd also like to know for your typical Large or Huge monster with Improved Grab. Yes, I understand that. However let's face it, anything with...

I can't find anything on how or if grappling interacts with mounted combat. I suppose the first question is, does being mounted affect grappling at all? If a medium-size creature with Improved Grab successfully attacks a medium size rider on a Large mount, then can it use its Improved Grab...

Something that some of the recent articles on the WotC site have been doing is to have several different knowledge skills apply, with different skills giving you different pieces of information. I'd like to see this extended to monster knowledge skills, where you can approach critters from...

Try using some hobgoblins for your horde of low hitdice monsters. They'll have all sorts of disciplined tactics that can deal with your spiked chain weilder. A Shield Wall front line filled with hobs on full defense, backed up by archers shooting from higher ground. A simple first level spell...

Despite being uniformly chaotic, the rest of the group doesn't seem particularly inclined towards criminal behavior.

a) You're playing the rules correctly. b) No, you shouldn't house rule it. Great Cleave is considered to be pretty weak sauce as a feat around these parts. The reason is that few DMs bother throwing mobs of low-HD humanoids at PCs. If a PC is actually getting some glory with that feat, great...
