    Practiced Spellcaster Breaks D20

    The name I think the basis of the feat is in its name "practiced spellcaster". Basically, as you practice, your spallcasting gets more powerful. A fighter/mage that uses magic frequently should get to be a better spellcaster even if they take their next level in fighter. While they don't...

    Your first character

    First one I rememeber was an elf-fighter who wore full plate (It was a long time ago). He did OK, but the one I remeber best was Banon the behemoth, Slayer of Dragon and Demons. AD&D 2 Krynn Minotaur Fighter; stood 8' tall and wielded a two-handed sword We used 4d6 roll 8 arrange in 7 stats...

    Level adjustment for dragon disciple

    This is right, the DD PrC basically adds the half-dragon template to your character over ten levels, in lieu of the +3 LA for starting witht he template. If you had to take the +3 LA to your charcter at the end, you would efectively be losing 3 levels. You would then be a 7th level DD and...

    Conflicting rules in CW and CA?

    Common sense I am of the opinion that you just need to use common sense when dtermining what we keep and lose when a prereq for a class is lost. Most of these books are written by different people and, even if they are written by the same group, they may not remember exactly what was written...

    Warlock and Full Attack

    So basically you are trading an AoO and a ranged touch attack for the chance to crit with a regular melee attack? Doesn't seem worth it. Sure you may crit the guy your attacking, but you will be in melee with facing an AoO each round. You may end up on the floor regardless of critting or...

    Conflicting rules in CW and CA?

    I am pretty sure that this isn't meant to apply to the bonus spells gained Dragon Disciple or divine spells gained by the Ur-Priest. That would definately be broken. Things like this should be looked at intuitively; advancing in a class should not disqualify you from that class. I think you...

    Warlock and Full Attack

    I re-reread it and the desription does mention, albeit in a parenthetical ad-on to the discussion of metamagic feats, that EB is a spell-like ability. The descriptions seems a little ambiguous. You would think that the writers would make sure to point out that EB is a spell-like ability, not...

    Warlock and Full Attack

    The description never states that it is a spell like ability or that it takes a standard action to use. In the desciption of invocations it states that invocations are spell-like abilities and take a standard action to use, but later the text states " Eldritch Blast is not an invocatrion"...

    PrCs with caster level requirements

    Would this... ...qualify, say, an aasimar (or other race that gets "free" spells) for Dragon Disicple?

    Warlock and Full Attack

    sorry iof this has been addressd before. I recently purchased Complete Arcane and am impressed with the Warlock core class. I think this is what the sorc was supposed to be, weilding crude, barely controlled magical energy. As I read the desricption of eldrich blast (and reread it) I can't...

    Built for speed

    You could also... try the Blade Dancer PrC from OA. This class has a movement onus that improves with level. It starts at doubel your base move (lvl 1-3) and end at triple (lvl 10). OA is 3.0 though.

    Equipment Value affecting Party Level

    I agree that the problem can be surmounted, but he examlpe I was using was just for the fighter; the magic users may be less affected and a well balanced party might not be too bad off. Maybe my point ism,ore poigniant for single characters (which I think would be the real test, but that is my...

    Equipment Value affecting Party Level

    0.8 CR for no equipment I agree with that number at lower levels, but have to say that at increased level the gap may widen quicker. Think of the situation where A high level fighter is taking ona demon of some wort with damage reduction 30/magic. He essentially can't hurt it unless he can...

    Multiple Potion Drinking

    Why not? First off, full-round to drink three versus standard action for just one. Secondly, just because the rules don't explicitly allow it doesn't mean you should disallow a good idea. Give the player a break for thinking of something different. So it may make potions of cure moderate...

    Multiple Potion Drinking

    Multiple potions The replies so far seem to be more about if the character could actually drink 3 potions in a round or not, rather than what will hapen when he does. From the context it seems that the Herreman has already allowed the player to grab and drink the potions, so I won't question...

    No prereqs for PrCs. A crazy idea?

    Too overpowered The prereqs are there to make it difficult to multiclass into drastically different classes, that have differet fosusses. Imagine an Fighter/Dervish/Dwarven Defender/Horizon Walker; with the actual prereqs this would very difficult to attain becuase they don't overlap, but...

    Lightly Armored and with not-so-light weapon?

    dervish class I like the class, but why did you give it d8 hit die? I might sugget making the abilities only work in light armor and going to d10 or d12 hit die. This class seems a barbarian off-shoot and using barabrian hit dice shouldn't overpower it. pbd

    Lightly Armored and with not-so-light weapon?

    Dervish The dervish PrC has many special abilities that are allowable only in light armor. I am currently playing a elven fighter/dervish that uses a faclhion (2 handed slashing weapon) as opposed to something lighter and he is very effective in combat. The dervish gets a to treat scimitars...
