I didn't realize there was some other kind of cleric besides combat focused or magic focused. I object to item creation as a feat and skill focus feats (of which there are about 300) are weak. Every other feat is a combat or magic feat one way or another except for the odd social feats they came...

Having to activate a divine feat with a standard action rather than at any time drops the score of a divine feat in a poll about 3 ranks. Divine might would probably rate around a 5 if it took a standard action to activate instead of 8.75 which is currently enjoys. Divine resistance might rate a...

I think feats are done. All the possible ideas have been played out. New feats will either have to be overpowered or underpowered to cover new ground. Old underpowered feats can be tweaked to be more powerful but the underlying concept is the same. Any feat rated lower than a 5 is realistically...

I'd make sure to invest in the unbreakable quality in any weapon above +5 total enchantment.

The official suggestion is that the cost not be reduced below DC 10 regardless of negative modifiers.

What if you couldn't use GMW? Would your answer change then?

If you were a 10th level fighter with 24 str and power attack which weapon do you think is more effective or are they equivalent? Would it make a difference to you if it was a long sword or the strength was 28? I'm trying to find what people think is balanced rules-wise.

Can only some people post poll because I used to be able to make polls but now I have maximum 0 poll items?

There are other classes that use the advanced cleric BAB. If you don't want a 5 level class to be especially penalized you do the same thing. Its an 80% progression vs a 75% progession.

Clerics can do the building thing too. They can create just as much stone as a wizard plus they shape it with a spell 2 levels lower than a wizard. I know from experience that a cleric can take a ruin and fix it up like new in a matter of days. Same goes for repairing and fortifying a city wall...

I use the radius as a range increment of sort. Each increment is another level of concealment until 4 increments are reached then the target is invisible.

Look in the DMG under the iconic NPCs. I'd consider those stats to be the basement of an effective character. If you can't even match up to NPC stats then your character is a failure at his chosen profession. PC's should be about 20% higher than the NPC listed there based on specialization and...

Most divine feats would be fine as is, if clerics and paladins got a bonus divine feat every other level like a fighter. All the feats are trade-offs, not bonuses EXCEPT for divine might and divine shield. I have considered lumping them all together into a single feat activated as a free action.

OMG, that file have everything I ever wanted and more. I was thinking about doing a small version of that myself before I knew that amazing compendium was already completed. It is so complete and well done.

Combat casting is a pre-req, not a feat. That's my take on the matter. There are a number of classes and other feats that require combat casting and that's why most people take it.

Point blank and precise rank way down on the list for a spell caster. You are too busy casting spells to fling some stupid rock at something for d4 damage. A cleric does much better to have Persistent favor for +3 to hit and damage all the time. OOBI- Order of the Bow Initiate, one of the 4...

Without equipment an opponent is about half CR rounded up unless they have spells. Spells can duplicate almost all magical equipment and since NPCs can use their entire allotment in one encounter they don't have much trouble using temporary means over permanent ones.

Clearly the book is in error because the feats are pretty much unusable otherwise. All divine feats should be activated as a free action on your turn in the same manner as raging. Their benefits are usually hardly worth spending a feat on let alone a standard action. If your charisma is in the...

Elementals don't get good at combat until huge but earth elementals can fetch something buried deep within the earth at any size. Hound Archons can teleport at will, have an aura of menace, and a lot of other spell-like abilities. Sure the dire bear is great for ground based combat at close...

If you figure wand charges go for 15 each and 50 uses are the price of a permanent charge then 3/day would cost as much as 3 wands or 2250 gc. The wands are probably more useful as you have 150 charges usable anytime which is better than 3 uses when you don't need them and only 3 when you want...
