The thing is that not all monster HD are created equal. Animal, humanoid, aberation or undead HD might only be worth 0.5 ECL while dragon and outsider are worth slightly more than 1. Monk saves, fighter BAB, thief skills and barbarian HD all in one class is pretty good even if you don't get any...

Don't forget that those 545 products include stuff like play mats, screens, character sheets, free mini downloads that are sometimes just advertisements, cardboard chips and various other things that you wouldn't consider products if you were just thinking rulebooks and full adventures. d20 has...

This product is great if you are running Dragonstar, Dragonlance or one of the suggested dragon-centric campaigns. Its only good if you have 1 or 2 dragon encounters in your campaign and if you don't use dragons, well, you wouldn't even think about using it. Like the other AEG theme books...

Why don't you write a review and give it 2 stars instead of saying so in a comment?

I liked it better when the discussion was about which were the goofiest prestige classes instead of arguing that the very concept of a prestige class was the worst thing ever created. Prestige classes (and fighting styles) are about synergy. If you do x, y, and z then you get special bonus z+...

You could say elves get the shaft because you pay 16 pts for 18 con but you only get 16 con and if you pay 4 pts for 12 dex you get a 14 so you've lost 4 points in the deal. Humans don't lose any sleep over various point buy scenarios, they are just loving their extra feat and bonus skill pts.

Sure, it says the characters levels is reduced by one right in the spell description.

Obviously if the party isn't prepared and the dragon has other advantages then the dragon has an advantage beyond what is suggested by merely its CR. If the dragon was freakishly lucky after putting some points into power attack that's not reflective on CR. Without power attack it had about a...

I should have made the original thread a poll so we could measure the response of people who read but didn't post. I think the half feat needs to be introduced. They could be called lesser feats or something. There are many feats out there that are so weak that no one would take them as a feat...

I always figured the human barbarian to move 30 and the dwarf 25 when wearing medium armor.

They couldn't kill a creature with 142 hp and an AC of 23 in 1 or 2 rounds? Its fear DC isn't even that strong. It has a little SR but it takes double damage from fire. Start out with a round of ranged combat, make it move up and take its one attack at a mere +18 to hit, then the fighters take...

I didn't think tempest was so weird. The only extra required feats are the spring attack chain. Tempest is essentially exactly like 10 levels of fighter but it gets 2 feats unique to their class instead of 2 feats of choice that a fighter would have. The off-hand parry is just window dressing...

I think the quality of any given publisher is random (at least to an outside observer). AEG, SSS, Ambient and others have produced products that range from good or superb to absolutely abysmal. I don't know any publisher that has produced 5 or more products with none of them being poor. This is...

There are barbarians who don't have barbarian as a class you know. A barbarian diplomat is just a rogue. Rage is something enhanced by levels in barbarian or by taking feats to get additional rages or longer rages. The windrider is your mounted barbarian. The barbarian class is a fighter...

Wand charges have a fixed cost. The wand itself has no value. There is no discount for adding charges to a wand nor is it generally done.

What was wrong with frenzied berzerker? Barbarians can use any combat oriented prestige class.

Hey, it was better than the D&D movie. I like the Rock and the guy from the Green Mile. It had good special effects and lots of fighting. Its fairly short at 90 minutes and you don't really wish it was longer. I liked it and I went to the twilight show so it was cheaper and not very crowded. A...

Yes, a good prestige class should make someone excited but then thoughful about what they are giving up but then back to being excited about the new possiblilities that are being opened to them. I'm not a big fan of forcing someone to take a bunch of crappy feats to take a prestige class. Skill...

... and I can see that you can't. I clearly mentioned the bonus spells, you just managed to not quote them. The +2 DC to saves if your target is good = the unholy lace comment. I'm sorry if it wasn't more clear to you. The two handed sorceror is exactly as bad as I make it out to be. It...

Every issue has a class from FR. The githzeria monks prestige classes were a Zerth Cenobite, time controlling monk, and the Arcanopath anti-spell monk. Its issue 281 if you want to get it. They mostly just require 6 levels of monk to join. I suggest getting a subscription. The total info you...
