    How does the Paladin stack up?

    The paladin only starts to get the good spells at 16th level and remember he only has half caster level progression so all those 1 rd/lvl spells have very short durations. For every ability the paladin has there is a prestige class that does it better but you lose advancement in the other...

    Nyambe: African Adventures

    This is the most impressive 3rd party product I've seen since Dragonstar. I like variant settings in which the underlying principles of the core rules are present but everything is reinterpreted. Most settings are variations on a theme but Nyambe could be considered a full reinvention. All...

    what do you consider a "good" AC?

    A "good" AC is your level +20. That gives you good protection against most enemies you will face at your CR. Wizard with mage armor + shield = 21 AC Fighter with breastplate + shield + 3 dex = 21 AC As you go up level you get that amulet of natural armor +1, ring of protection +1, full plate...

    Power lunge question?

    The way the sage has it is a minor boost for 1 handed weapons and a tiny boost for 2 handed weapons. The drawback is pretty severe for such a tiny benefit unless you have reach and then the tiny benefit is hardly worth spending a feat on. QSF has a feat that gives the effect of power lunges...

    Power Attack and Auto-Damage

    You can't use power attack on automatic damage. You have to make the roll. This is a finer point from an obscure source but its one of those rule 0.1 rules that are implied and only explicitly stated in non-core sources.

    Rage question

    Gee, I can't remember a time I've had a character at anything other than light load. Now a 6 str halfling means that's only 10 lbs but its doable. Barbarians are so incredibly strong and don't wear heavy armor I have trouble visualizing a heavy load.

    Human or Aasimar?

    If you are going to use all the divine feats like quicken turning, divine shield, divine might etc then the aasimar is worth it. The value of those feats is exponential with charisma. You are looking at epic level equipment long before epic levels. You can get sword and shield with +1...

    Quick Question: Everfull Quiver?

    The techinical price for 150/day +5 arrow quiver would be 54k gcs so not really unlimited, that would cost 90k. The arrows would only remain magical for the day. The only way you could justify 50k for an everful quiver is if you are supplying an army with arrows in a siege and you just...

    Countering the effects of a Deck

    Artificacts would not be drained by a deck. Stolen by the Talons card maybe but not drained. Magic can be temporarily replaced by magic vestment and greater magic weapon. Other party members could toss a few items in as charity. Isn't there a pool of lesser magic items that no one was using...

    Magic double weapon cost loop hole?

    A spiked chain is not a double weapn therefore it does not have ends that have to be enchanted seperately. Using it as a double weapon does not change the fact that it is not a double weapon. How are you going to get the 4 or 5 feats you need to be an effective double weapon fighter as a drow...

    Doors: Too hard to break, too easy to chop

    Doors don't really stand a chance against a portable ram. +4 guaranteed for using one. Portable ram with take down a door faster than hacking at it if it has hardness 10.

    Please rate Pain Touch

    Wis 19+ isn't uncommon for monks. 9th level clerics are looking at 24 wis so a monk of equal level should be around 20 at least. Wis is key because it is your AC, will saves and your stunning attack. Pain touch is one of the better stun enhancers because you get the bonus in addition to your...

    Level Loss BROKEN??

    Losing your memorized teleport or plane shift it pretty bad too. If you can't get your spells back on an outer plane then you are stuck with never getting your plane shift back.

    Please rate Off-Hand Parry

    As written the feat is useless. That is the overwhelming opinion. If by simply holding a weapon in your off hand that you aren't using to attack, whether or not you are attacking, granted a +2 AC bonus then this feat would be reasonable as it turns a dagger into a lg shield equivalent for those...

    Question on El's Effulgent Eporation...

    Maybe if you gave the full text of the spell you are referring to then an answer might be forthcoming. Giving the source might even help but I doubt it.

    Odd Subdual Question (my players stay out)

    If everyone is 1st level and just starting then start the campaign in jail and save the time and hard feelings of a futile struggle. They will still say "What? We start in jail?" and you will have gotten the response you want deus ex machina except less noticibly so.

    Light regeneration is one of those new druid spells that give fast healing.

    Odd Subdual Question (my players stay out)

    Yeah, good idea. Webs and hold person will stop everyone eventually. Don't forget stinking cloud, then you have spells from all three food groups. Not even monks have excellent saves in every category.
