That grell would go down like a ton of bricks against a hasted fighter with spring attack, a master archer, buffed cleric and an archmage. A rogue that wins initiative can zip in and lay on a bunch of sneak attacks or tumble in and flank with the spring attacking fighter.

Anyone else think the price jump for weapons is rather excessive? After all, another +1 is a pretty tiny increment. Obviously a +1 weapon with GMW cast on it with +9 worth of enhancers on it is so much more cost effective. In fact, all epic gear is so expensive you pretty much have to be level...

It only takes a few yahoos that don't read the description of a feat to make it rate a 2 or a 3 when it really does nothing. If you extend the negative range that you can survive to equal your level then it becomes vaguely better because at -19 you could still cast heal on yourself.

With large parties you want to increase the number of monsters, not the difficulty of a single monster. Two adult dragons are better than one old dragon for 8 people. Are they going into the battle immune to fire and fear? They all have +2 or better weapons (+3 vs Wyrm)? 150 pts of stoneskin...

Poison is a 3rd level druid spell. At the minimum DC of 13, it would cost 5 x 3 x 2000 or 30,000 gcs. DC 14 would be 33,000 and each additional DC would be +6k. Black Lotus extract has a DC 20 so that would bring the price to 69k but it does 3d6 instead of 1d10 which is 10.5 avg damage vs 5.5...

The aniversary issue had I believe 4 dragonslayer prestige classes. Those super specialized classes are best suited towards NPCs that don't have to do a variey of tasks.

I liked the idea of melting down the infinite arrowheads and using the wood to build things or burn for energy.

I have to agree that either the quick loading weapon makes this feat obsolete but quick loading seems to be excessively expensive. I would have thought +1 would have been plenty to charge and a fixed cost would have been better. If you are out of spells and have to resort to using a crossbow...

Natural Medicine is the Nyambe version of Alchemy. Scry has new uses for analzing omens. He meant cattle raids. (pg 38) I did point out how good the basic classes were in my short review.

I think all the divine feats were meant to be activated as free actions. They are grossly underpowered otherwise. It certainly isn't worth giving up your actions for a round for any of them. They give a medium bonus for a limited time and limited times per day.

I'm interested in seeing what other people think of feats. I have them all clearly rated in my mind and I like to laugh at people who get them totally wrong. There is a website that has feats rated from 1-5 but its full of crazy homebrew feats mixed in with regular feats.

They made the blasting power in the epic handbook which is a triple flaming that can be multiplied on a critical. They call it a +6 weapon power. I'd really call it a +4 (+3 for 3d6, +1 for bursting)

DR x/- works against damage from ANY source. Maybe you should trying looking it up in the glossary.

An awakened dire horse is a decent mount than a non-paladin can get. Windrider is the king of mounted classes though. 10 levels to get a 20th level paladin mount and 20th paladin spell equivalent. DR 2/- is really good. Count up how many times you take damage in a typical adventure. Get blasted...

Do you tell your players when the monsters make their saves or not? Why or why not? Would you do it for charm, slow, or area damage? Would you tell them if the creature was unaffected because of its SR in the case of spells like prayer?

That's what you get for enchanting crap armor. You want elven leaf leather if you want magic leather armor. Mithril breastplate is good stuff too but it costs a fair amount more.

Why is the bite -9 to hit in comparison to the claws? I don't think adding 10 levels of monk add anything to the attack routine other than +7 BAB. The monster will get some speed and AC bonuses, a few feats and little else. The 3 claw routine would be 39/36/33 vs what was stated above. The...

Why is everyone focused on destroying the ring of jumping? It only has a very limited use window between 1st and 4th level. It probably too expensive at 2000 gcs. As soon as there are enough rings to go around the ring of jumping gets thrown in the trash. Anyone at 5th level or higher would...

Ring of jumping is priced at 2k for a reason. Not all skills are created equal. It wouldn't matter if it gave +100 to jump, its still only worth 2k.

You get to do a spirited charge once every other session if you are lucky. A feat that adds to every single roll has more utility. Depending on the various non-official interpretations of the feat it can get better. You better hope you get initiative or your chances of using this feat are almost...
